thirdcoast Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Madison in the UK back in 1988.... Keep an eye on the "borrowed" DMs podium.... The gong was ours too. I like to think we played a small part in their success that year......................... cough. Never gets old! IMO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadets98 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Never gets old! IMO! Boy, they made some good changes to this before finals. Also, I never noticed how well they marched that year. Then I remembered that Todd Ryan taught visual there, duh?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thirdcoast Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Back on topic? Geez if we HAVE to... Had a great time seeing this live at the state capitol :-) This was my daughter's 1st DCI finals (she was 8 and a rabid Scouts fan!). So many great times playing at the Capitol, I was just glad I was in the crowd to hear this show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madalumni Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Here's us (MSARP) playing "Never Walk" at our last rehearsal before performing at 2006 DCI Semi-Finals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InspaDave Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) This is not DCI, but it is something I think you would all enjoy seeing. The thing to take note of is the kids in this video are from ages 6 to 12. Edited March 28, 2012 by InspaDave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarOrg Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 This is not DCI, but it is something I think you would all enjoy seeing. The thing to take note of is the kids in this video are from ages 6 to 12. This is only one of many outstanding videos (some even more impressive) out there for groups like this at these ages. I guess my one question is why hasn't this country sent a DC to the US to compete with all this talent that is there?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickhaltsforlife Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 It saddens me every time I see one of these groups, or any music ensemble in that country with young kids. It shows us that as a country we are far far behind other cultures. There are open class corps with hs and college aged kids that sound awful and look awful. Not to mention all of the HS bands all over the country that struggle to make characteristic sounds out of their instruments. Why shouldn't we demand this out of ourselves? Why can't we expect more out of our students? Out of our society as a whole? Meh, I digress. Because I'll venture into political areas. And this a thread to enjoy you tube videos. I just feel like these videos should bother musicians and music educators in this country a little more. We all watch them, say wow I wish my band played like that, then go back to the status quo. Ugh, I'll stop. I know it's a lot more than that, I'm not that naive, it would take a lot of changes across society. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
