Steve Vickers email Re: Japan (recordings?)


Recommended Posts

Edit: Sorry mods saw The international forum after I posted here

Got an email from Steve Vickers about Japan something (title chopped). It got sent to my spam and I fat fingered and deleted before I could read it. Tried to google but found out there is another Steve V with his own company but not our guy.

Now I’m curious, what was this email about

Here you go, Jim:


Dear Reader,

It has come to our attention that there are broken video links in the article “Drum Corps Japan Championship showcases 22 corps in three divisions” that begins on page 8 of the January 2020, Volume 48, Number 15, issue transmitted on Friday, December 20. Please be advised that you can view the entire performances of each of the 22 competitors and several guest corps directly at http://bit.ly/2EGiIr8, courtesy of "Drum Corps Fun” (#drumcorpsfun). The photos within the article are also attlributed to #drumcorpsfun.

Many thanks to Mr. Hiroshi Ozawa with Drum Corps Fun for his permission to include the photos in the article.

The video linked from the article does not include short clips of the corps, but note that the title and full description shows the links to all of the full corps performances at #drumcorpsfun.

For your convenience, you can use the list below to go directly to a performance you may wish to see at #drumcorpsfun.

My apologies for the incomplete links contained in Gary Dickelman’s excellent article on the Drum Corps Japan Championships!  He will have a third report in the February 2020 edition, released on Friday, January 31, covering the mid-December Japanese Marching Band Association Championship that includes some of the drum and bugle corps and like groups that appeared at earlier events he included in the November and December on-line magazines.  Go here to view those earlier issues — https://www.drumcorpsworld.com/pdf-issues/.

The new year and a new schedule of events are getting underway and no doubt every organization in the worldwide activity is preparing for what they hope will be their best and most successful season of competition.


What most fans are always waiting for is news of tour stops for their favorite corps and what programs and repertoire will be included to entertain audiences all around the world.  Because of copyright permission and video synchronization rights, announcements of specific plans have become delayed, in many cases, into the late spring or early summer.

DCI has announced their tentative line-up of competitions across the country (see DCI.org) and ticket sales for some events have recently been put on sale.  As the months roll by, additional seating will be available for you to decide where and when to get a good look at costumes and the musical selections the corps will be presenting for judges.

We will continue to monitor news and provide a wide array of content as the 2020 season moves closer to reality!

Yokohama Scouts or the White Shooting Stars. Both amazing performances. Plus, no amps (not a thing with many groups in Japan, ironically), no frills while marching and playing their butts off. 

DCJ and JMBA designers still have it right and haven't caved to the sponsors/corporations.

One of my favorites from this past year, White Shooting Stars:
