Singing in drum corps


Recommended Posts

Just listened to 1992 SCV. One of my all-time favorite shows.

Just curious about some instances of singing in drum corps.

Who?

When?

Like it?

Hate it?

And I'm not really asking abut amplified voice in the case of 2004 Crown.

Are you talking legal singing? That would be 84 (the first year vocalizing on field was allowed by the corps proper). 85 Freelancers is a good example.

ILLegal?? Probably the infamous "Amen" that they dropped at finals or face a 1 point penalty (71??)

I thought 2008 Bluecoats with The Boxer was neat, and Boston's pre-show this last year as well.

Yep, my first two that came to mind are 84 Cadets and 08 Bluecoats. The brass attack after the singing in 84 was what really made that moment a great "set-up." That's some breathe-dah right there.

'92 VK- "We love to fly, and it shows!", right into the hit for Mystery Tour.

I like Suncoast Sound in 1989.

I think the Cadets did a vocal Amen some time in the mid seventies that cost them some points.

Historians wade in.

IMO there is no good singing in DC, it is all god-awful and should be avoided.

Yeah, I was at one of those shows (can't remember which one though). The Cadets took a hit but I guess they figured...."Aughhh what the hell".

Cavaliers 94. They sing to start the IV Mvt of their show (Church Windows)

and 93 Madison Scouts to start the drum feature in Strawberry Soup
