94 Years Old. That's a great run! So much more than just Rocky Point Holiday! I have very much enjoyed playing and conducting several of Ron Nelson's excellent compositions for band and thought I would share the following. Here are several pieces by Ron Nelson that were performed by various drum corps. Take a moment to check some of them out on YouTube. Aspen Jubilee Rocky Point Holiday Sonoran Desert Holiday Passacaglia (Homage on B-A-C-H) Courtly Airs and Dances Epiphanies (Fanfares and Chorales) Medieval Suite Savannah River Holiday Lauds (Praise High Day) Morning Alleluias (for the Winter Solstice) Resonances I Te Deum Laudamus

1981 Freelancers Missing From DCI Video
Rudy Wiedoeft replied to 81Freelancers's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Wow, I have always been bummed that my age out year at 1981 DCI Finals with 27 was never on video. My sympathies to Freelancer members who didn’t even have the Midwest video. -
DCI.org. DCI Bernstein Bonanza 2009 “Leonard Bernstein has historically been synonymous with the sound of drum corps. While the Maestro has been relatively unplayed in recent years,” My understanding is that the Bernstein estate clamped down on copyright permission to arrange and significantly raises the fees for permission. Anyone have more details?

Watching Monster Oil's YOUTUBE BRASS CHAT #12 with Boston Symphony Principal Tubist, Mike Roylance. Almost fell off my chair when he was asked what were some of his "breakthrough moments" as a developing musician and he references his experience with SUNCOAST SOUND with Robert W. Smith and Frank Williams. Mike says that the fundamentals he learned in drum corps are the same fundamentals he works with today.

You have to admit that it is very much a 70’s name.

Stating the obvious: The scoring system has evolved significantly over the past 50+ years. Recently the judging seems to be slotted with the subcaption numbers locked into sequential ranking by tenths. The equipment, performer, and instruction have elevated to its highest level in the history of the activity. Because of the above, there is no relevance comparing scores year to year.

This past weekend, Aug 18th, was the 4oth Anniversary of the Garfield Cadets 1st DCI Championship. What a great show! LOVED Zingali's drill, especially the Z-pull, Jim Prime's brass arrangements (bugles no less!!), and Thom Hannum's expressive and tasteful percussion. If you haven't seen this show go to Youtube and check it out. You'll be impressed! Here are some other info on the 1983 Finals that I found: For the first time, Suncoast Sound made the Finals and the Garfield Cadets won the title, the first eastern corps to do so. A couple records were set that year, with Bridgemen making Finals after scoring 47.15 earlier in the season, and a 20.65 spread between first and 12th places is the greatest in DCI history.

Thank you for the links! -
Very True!!! IMO Colin McNutt had one of the top lines on the field when he was at Glassmen. Very expressive and tastefully written. So glad to see he continues to be very successful.
