Dancer In The Dark performed in full, with drums, for the first time at the 2021 May camp since the victory run of the only dci show to have every judge award first place.
I'm so old that I remember when TV football and Super bowl half time shows were drum corps and marching band performances. I always thought they were so much fun and enjoyable to watch.
If they actually had that during the super bowl half-time I'd watch it. I haven't even watched the game in recent years, let alone the 'show.' This performance was great. I am always amazed at the synchronicity of it all. Just blows me away.
There’s simply nothing like the feeling you get from everyone working together to play music with as much soul, emotion, technique and heart that you can give. It sends chills down my spine-remembering that feeling of utter unity and togetherness, as your body feels itself playing and your ears hear the resulting beauty. My years in band and drum corps were so incredibly special, and you NEVER FORGET the magic.
Yes, I’m a violinist that ended up doing band because my school didn’t have an orchestra and I wanted to compete with violin. I did pit percussion because my mom thought I was too “pale and tragic” to march in 100 degree June Memphis heat. I had no idea what was going on behind me. But we always watched the footage back the weekend after our competitions, and the first time I saw us, it took my breath away and gave me chills! We did Candide, Make Our Garden Grow, and West Side Story that year (Leonard Bernstein). These guys are amazing!😍
Never had the patience it takes to play at this level, but you hit the nail on the head. All parts coming together as one is the reason I love music in almost every style. More importantly is the kid repping the U, props fellow Utah Man!
Yes. Hardest place i played at was the Indianapolis Hoosier Dome back in the early 90's. Standing five feet away from somebody, you pretty much have to shout to be heard. My best advice to any director trying to prepare for a performance in a dome is to make the kids wear earplugs while rehearsing. Worked well for us. I marched with George Rogers Clark H.S. from KY. G.N. finalist from 1988-92. Small band with about 40 or so total brass. If you wanna check out an old school crowd pleaser, look up GRC band 1992. Music of Blood Sweat and Tears. 6th place 89.45
The young woman directing is EXCELLENT at it! I'm so used to seeing the teachers doing the directing - it's wonderful to see such a young person doing it!
When my daughter was in high school, the lead director was a professional, but on the field and in the classroom their band was directed by students. They won many state championships and were considered one of the top five bands in the state of Tennessee. This doesn’t surprise me at all.
The drum majors are almost always students or recent alumni. The bad directors don't march or stand up on ladders to direct in marching band and drumlines.
I marched four years at The University of Texas. My time spent playing and performing on the field are some of my best memories. Thanks for sharing. I will always miss it.
This is spring ensemble and listen to the detail already in place. This was an outstanding symphonic sound so balanced. Yes there was click bait, and I bit. Having been in a small corps in 1982, I can truly relate to this work. This kids in corps are truly talented. I remember the drum line instructor wrote something technical for a local HS to execute. 2 weeks and they couldn't get it. He was frustrated and wanted to know if it was too difficult. So the drum line, took the piece studied and discussed it for 5 minutes, and made a tape that was flawless for the local hs school to learn from. The oldest corps member was 15, youngest 12. Their statement was, hey that was fun, what else you got? Those were the days.
I have a phone with a cracked screen, and its a phone that seems to think it's fun to switch letters, add words, drop letters, and switch words without my input or consent. I also have one eye that doesn't work, and another that's acting up painfully, so proof reading everything that's typed, is not plausible. Your lucky there was only one typo.
That was just plain special. We don't really have drum corps in Australia, but when you see good music well played, it doesn't matter where it came from. I would have loved to see the final product. I am in total awe of these young people being able to play so well while doing drill as well. Every person in that group has good reason to be nothing but proud of themselves.
The conductor did a magnificent job CONDUCTING and LEADING this piece. Thank you for showing that we are not just metronomes out there. Bravo, and BRAVO corps.
My daughter plays French horn, having begun in high school with orchestra and marching band now plays in a symphony orchestra. Somewhere along the line her dad and I listened to her with her band at Carnegie Hall. I enjoy telling people that she went from sounding like a sick cow to being able to play at Carnegie Hall.
@@lyndavonkanel8603 Most commendable.... and impressive. I started on trumpet at 9, and tortured my family learning to make something coherent come out of it. In sixth grade I was encouraged to try French Horn by my teacher. I was reluctant based on the size and awkwardness of the case (Really). But I came to the notion that I made the right move in switching. I certainly don't regret it now. I would encourage your daughter to persist with her horn. Music is an entree to so much more than simply an opportunity to perform with others. I've never regretted the time or energy expended to become proficient. And can honestly say that D&B Corp was among the most rewarding experiences of my life.
I am a drum corp fanatic, this is BEAUTIFUL. I remember going to a DCI show when I was a freshman or sophomore in high school. It rained so bad that they had to stand in place, but I was so moved by the music
Marched 3 years and watched a large portion of DCI corps and I can say that this is magnificent!!! The arrangement and conducting is astounding, I can't wait for my senior year, and possibly pursuing a higher level of music.
Marching and playing with a high school band and drum corps for over 50 years; I miss the competitions and sitting in the stands hearing a group on the field play Star Wars and someone near me saying if our corps was playing it you would seeing stars. Brought such a good feeling. At my last competition in a junior corps we played a new song to our opening drill. While marching onto the field the crowd roared with cheers. At the start of our performance we played one note and paused. The crowd thought we made a terrible boo boo! But about maybe 7-10 seconds later we played two notes and paused; the crowd then burst into cheers for they understood what we were playing; the theme song from Jaws. That was one of my greatest memories of a junior corps and you’ll never experience that feeling again. Love watching them online. Enjoy and have fun!
This brings back so many memories, I wasn't a drummer but I played a woodwind instrument, this gave me the chills, great job y'all, much love from a former marching band player class of 04, Chesapeake Virginia
I didn't know a thing about indoor drumline until 2014 when my grandson started in this. I was so enthralled by their performances and went to as many as possible! Now I am hooked on percussion! These kids are amazing!
My ONLY complaint is that you didn't record the sound LOUDER. I wish I could have heard it at the full volume it achieved in the auditorium. I probably would have blown my mother board (as I did when watching another loud musical performance), but it would have been SO totally worth it! This was so incredibly awesome! These kids were so totally well-tuned and synchronized to produce an awesome sound experience.
As a previous USMC D&B Corps and USMC Band drummer I must say Kudos to ya'll. So few can appreciate the dedication, the sweat and hours you all put into this. Bravo!
I played flute in symphonic band in my early years and this brought me back... What a fantastic display of musicianship, collaboration at its best, and a clear love of making music. Congratulations!
I was in blue stars in '21 and I just gotta say that hearing this ballad being played in person in the tunnel was so unreal, just an absolute classic drum corp piece
Nothing in the whole world can beat the feeling when making music together. It’s a universal language that reaches everyone in the soul. No other art form has ever achieved that.
did this as a ballad this year in fall marching band as a guard member, the visuals and silks and everything were just amazing and so were the band members
Funny how I stumbled upon this video and just happened to see your comment. Then I instantly remembered you from 2008. My dad was the left end snare in the cac888 show (the one with the long hair😂) Just had to say hello haha😊
I will never forget sitting on the curb in Allentown in '05 listening to the hornline run through this piece. Still one of my favorite memories of tour that didn't involve my corps. Its right up there with sitting in the parking lot at Broken Arrow, OK listening to SCV play "Music of the NIght" and right as they got to the big hit there was a lightning flash in the distance, and pretty much any time I got to hear Cavs play "Over the Rainbow" or Phantom play "Elsa's."
on Australia we really don't have a strength in this area, all I can say as a jazz person I really enjoyed this feed thank you so much and as you grow enjoy what you have been part of God bless to all
I miss marching band. ‘86 grad. Hearing/seeing videos like this make me sentimental. These kids are good. Would have truly enjoyed this live on the field.
Hey! I remember listening to The Cadets play this back in '05 or something. They set a record breaking score that year at finals. I even tried to learn the snare part a few years ago and loved playing along to it. Listening to it being performed again wasn't just nostalgic, it was like an out of body experience. Awesome work!
This makes me even more excited for DCI this year! As someone who just made it into a corps, I’m so excited to see all the other corps and what they’ll bring this year!
While most of us are sitting down watching some TV or your head is in your phone, THESE Amazing Talents are in the studio PRACTICING TO BE THE BEST THERE EVER WAS!!! That's why no other can do it!!! NYC🤘
Many hours working together to get the sound, balance and blend, on top of the hours of personal practice to get the music, movement, posture, et al, correct. Bravo from a retired educator who is now adjudicating on a regular basis. Lovely work tutti! Thank you for sharing.
When I was in junior high school (1966), most of us brought our own instruments [budget & etc.] Our director was stuck with five snare drums and six tubas. Plus the usual wind instruments & strings. He chose for us to perform the Hogan’s Heroes theme as our performance opener. He was very disappointed at our rendition. He went to the back of the orchestra, and took over two snare drums. He hit them so hard, I expected him to break the skins on each. He did not. He said, “There. That is how I want you all to play this music.” So we did. I was Clarinet, and never realized how loud I could make my instrument. At performance, the audience was so breathless, they did not applaud. For about 15 seconds. The only standing ovation I ever received. I believe The Cadets have the instruments to do another justice to the Hogan’s Heroes Theme.
Well, if someone has a right to complain before hearing, it's a 1984 Blue Devil (me). We lost by 00.1 point to the Cadets. But I listened first, and it's fantastic! Click bait or not, it's beautiful and beautifully done. Take away the competitiveness of the sport and you still have exceptional musicianship and showmanship (best experienced live, of course). I don't know how Corps survived the pandemic, but hopefully coming out stronger.👍
One of the best I've ever heard, that '84 competition was just crazy good. Both Blue Devils and the Cadets shows were that close, Have the recording of it still somewhere.
I do not know Dancer In The Dark... but this was pretty awesome. Aside from the music the graceful movements of the various players was pretty cool and impressive.
After work I would slip into the marching band room. They would goof of til Mr Lane came in and got them together. Nothing like seeing them go from that stage to being the smallest band even invited to March in the main street parade from the Castle to downtown!! Made working so many nights at the concession stand worth it!!!
Absolutely incredible!!! It takes a lot of talent and time and practice to be able for a group to accomplish something like that!!! As a music lover, I am in live with this performance!!
I'm so old that I remember when TV football and Super bowl half time shows were drum corps and marching band performances. I always thought they were so much fun and enjoyable to watch.
Me to.
Yea this would really go over well at a super bowel half time today. I'm 70 give me some Snoop Dog and Dr. Dre
One of the few reasons to watcha football game, which I don't anymore for many reasons
This is real talent.
If they actually had that during the super bowl half-time I'd watch it. I haven't even watched the game in recent years, let alone the 'show.'
This performance was great. I am always amazed at the synchronicity of it all. Just blows me away.

Indeed my friend, many times o have felt that chill.
Yes, I’m a violinist that ended up doing band because my school didn’t have an orchestra and I wanted to compete with violin. I did pit percussion because my mom thought I was too “pale and tragic” to march in 100 degree June Memphis heat. I had no idea what was going on behind me. But we always watched the footage back the weekend after our competitions, and the first time I saw us, it took my breath away and gave me chills! We did Candide, Make Our Garden Grow, and West Side Story that year (Leonard Bernstein).
These guys are amazing!😍
Never had the patience it takes to play at this level, but you hit the nail on the head. All parts coming together as one is the reason I love music in almost every style. More importantly is the kid repping the U, props fellow Utah Man!
Your comment gave me chills….so true!!
So true, I miss it so much!
Was confused by that description until I realized 05 was the only show to win all captions and sub captions, not just a caption sweep.
If you've ever played in a boomy high school gym before, you know how hard it is to play musically as an ensemble in that kind of space. Major props!
Truth
Yes. Hardest place i played at was the Indianapolis Hoosier Dome back in the early 90's. Standing five feet away from somebody, you pretty much have to shout to be heard. My best advice to any director trying to prepare for a performance in a dome is to make the kids wear earplugs while rehearsing. Worked well for us. I marched with George Rogers Clark H.S. from KY. G.N. finalist from 1988-92. Small band with about 40 or so total brass. If you wanna check out an old school crowd pleaser, look up GRC band 1992. Music of Blood Sweat and Tears. 6th place 89.45

Me also. Cheers Rosemary Perth Western Australia (71 yrs)
My god. That section after the brushes just fits like a damn glove. This had to of been a *very* fun book to play.
100% the coolest ballad a snare drummer can play.
Had to have, not had to of.

It's dull as unbuttered toast!

Watching performances like this makes me really miss marching band and concert band. Amazing job to everyone!
Me too
I made a lot of great friends in marching band myself.
Definitely don't miss practicing in the Southern heat on asphalt lots though.

This was beautiful. What a stunning piece and performance.
I would be crying with pride if a child of mine performed so beautifully! 🥰
They did quite well. They were in sinc, and the overall feel of the music was consistent. They had it down, and you could feel it. Well done.
kitchen sink? :) sync

Beautiful. Very nicely done!! Talented group.!!!❣❣🤗🤗
Would love to see this performed on the field...Absolutely beautiful.
Which corps is this?
@@jbason_01 The Cadets.
@@tucker.84 thanks so much
The Cadets performed this on the field . . . and won the Championship. "The Zone." in 2005. Fantastic show!
Love this. High school bad is where I met my husband 60:years ago. Parents should encourage their kids to learn a musical instrument.
Stunning performance! The dude doing the shaker and glock! Holy moly! Serious chops!
I've got no word to describe how I felt listening to this. Thanks you all! It is fresh air in this age of lack of dedication and mediocrity.

I can see where this will go, a lot of really hard work goes into these performances. Sounds really great, I will have to look up the field show.
The conductor did a magnificent job CONDUCTING and LEADING this piece. Thank you for showing that we are not just metronomes out there. Bravo, and BRAVO corps.
Very nicely done, excellent.... From a guy still playing that damned French horn after 50 years. Three with SC Vanguard... '68, '69, '70.

The music just flowed.

Best years of my life was marching Drum Corps.
Loved it in 2005, love it now.
I just watched this and loved it so much I clapped here in my living room.
Oh my goodness…I have chills! Beautifully done…I’m impressed!
This is extremely impressive. The sound is just wow!
This is magical. Every kid, director and crew of this performance should be proud to show mankind in this great light. Ah, civilized society...
these kids are so great..and the best is yet to come...
Amen to that.
Y am I crying this early in the morning, this performance was MAGIC! Great jobs guys!
I marched for over 6 years. There is nothing like a great drum and bugle corps with an amazing color guard! DCI international. Awesome memories.
So beautiful, a talented group of musicians, very great training and all, bless you all.

Still my favorite drum corps show of all time.

@@AskTheKid it is from the 2005 show. This was an arrangement of their ballad.
@@krisni_squirrel7that's awesome! CAC performance was incredible too!
I will never forget sitting on the curb in Allentown in '05 listening to the hornline run through this piece. Still one of my favorite memories of tour that didn't involve my corps.

That was so beautiful
first time ive seen this. my father was a Racine WI Kiltie, i was in the cadets. going to find the final comp of this now. good stuff
This is the ballad from 2005. I'll never forget it.
REALLY like the disclamers,, spot on.
on Australia we really don't have a strength in this area, all I can say as a jazz person I really enjoyed this feed thank you so much and as you grow enjoy what you have been part of God bless to all

Love this…..it’s beautiful. Thank you all.
I love the "remix" here! Beautifully arranged and played. Bravo!
Wow, they have a clear beautiful sound. What an wonderful performance.
When I was in junior high school (1966), most of us brought our own instruments [budget & etc.]
Our director was stuck with five snare drums and six tubas. Plus the usual wind instruments & strings.
He chose for us to perform the Hogan’s Heroes theme as our performance opener.
He was very disappointed at our rendition.
He went to the back of the orchestra, and took over two snare drums.
He hit them so hard, I expected him to break the skins on each. He did not.
He said, “There. That is how I want you all to play this music.”
So we did. I was Clarinet, and never realized how loud I could make my instrument.
At performance, the audience was so breathless, they did not applaud. For about 15 seconds.
The only standing ovation I ever received.
I believe The Cadets have the instruments to do another justice to the Hogan’s Heroes Theme.
Well, if someone has a right to complain before hearing, it's a 1984 Blue Devil (me). We lost by 00.1 point to the Cadets. But I listened first, and it's fantastic! Click bait or not, it's beautiful and beautifully done.
Take away the competitiveness of the sport and you still have exceptional musicianship and showmanship (best experienced live, of course). I don't know how Corps survived the pandemic, but hopefully coming out stronger.👍
One of the best I've ever heard, that '84 competition was just crazy good. Both Blue Devils and the Cadets shows were that close, Have the recording of it still somewhere.
You were a part of a legend -- BD was UNSTOPPABLE in '84 regardless of who won!
Great! Thank you for the music 😘
I do not know Dancer In The Dark... but this was pretty awesome. Aside from the music the graceful movements of the various players was pretty cool and impressive.
Absolutely beautiful redition!!!!!!
It is Sunday February 27 2022. Someday this will be the most viewed Dci video on TH-cam, I am calling it now
Maybe hahah. Getting like 5-10k views a day
Fantastic !

Nothing like seeing them go from that stage to being the smallest band even invited to March in the main street parade from the Castle to downtown!!

" the title is for clickbait purposes, relax"
You're forgiven. It was worth the watch. :-)
Very talented!!
I saw the title and knew this was gonna be Dancer In The Dark. Such a lovely piece.
Absolutely incredible!!! It takes a lot of talent and time and practice to be able for a group to accomplish something like that!!! As a music lover, I am in live with this performance!!
Thank you.
