Best YouTube videos for the unenlightened


Recommended Posts

What are your top YouTube videos to show people who've never seen or heard of drum corps?

I'm talking about people who have good taste in music and the performing arts, but who've never been to a DCI, WGI, quality marching band, etc, show.

Here are some of mine, but I'd love to get more suggestions...

Good calls on SCV '89 and Spartacus; fantastic shows. I think I'm gonna leave off SCV '89 because their uniforms (probably because of the era) look a bit goofy to the marching-naive (wide, short pants; cowboy-style hat)--totally superficial on my part, but hey, this is for people forming their first impressions of the activity. I'm adding the full Spartacus show, and 2 clips from Carolina Crown 2008 (can't seem to find a good one of the opening impact, though):

Since you stated that your friends have "good taste in music" I'm sure they'll forgive SCV for the pants.... It's a good thing they left their bell bottoms on the equipment truck that year.

You might add Cavaliers 2008 to your selections. There are so many incredible Cavaliers shows, but 2008 is my favorite.
