I marched Tarheel Sun 98 and 99. 98 was by far the best outta the 2. We really had this chemistry- this unusual electrifying chemistry. I miss y’all so much thanks for the memories!
Saw them in New Jersey at an boutique evening drum corps show I think in Belleville. Cadets was the open class corps St John's was there Raiders Jersey surf 3 alumni corps I marched Wynn Center Toppers alumni. I was blown away by this corps seeing & hearing them! Then I got a bump upside my head when I was told they were competing in this particular show as class A corps with over 120 members, a mind blower still.
Now here's another drum corps other than the Blue Devils that's influenced by jazz, and it's happening right here in North Carolina. Sad to hear that they folded after five short years. This show was awesome, nonetheless.
That was an amazing summer. Undefeated for nearly the entire season. And this is the biased father of one of the baritone players, but I thought the show, musically, was more enjoyable than anything I heard in Division 1 just last season. Not as technically challenging, you understand, but more enjoyable. The incredible balance of dynamics, matched with simply beautiful arrangements of timeless pieces, made this one very special show!!!
Tarheel was so 80's Dutch Boy. good color Guard ( not dutch boys those ladies were on thier own) and good brass and what the folks wanted to hear. there is something to say for this classy las vegas style ... it does something ...
@@briantuma1502 Al DiCrose? (Sp?) But yeah, give a listen to 1989 Dutch Boy and it is phrased quite similar. Different music but the style is unforgivably the same!
@@JacksonPM23 ECU fan, but I agree. Rich Rodriguez turned West Virginia's offense lethal with the spread option. Stewart decided to neuter it going to a more traditional dropback passing scheme.
I recorded that (its me , Doug) im gonna go dig through my cassettes and see if i can find it- its been a long time but i think i might know where they are
Goosebumps man! This Corp had such an unusually great chemistry and you can really feel it. I still remember singing November Song with the Baritone section we learned all the words in eerie PA and started singing it together the rest of the Summer. I would kill for that recording of us singing! Anyway I love you guys. I'll never forget that Summer
That's me at 4:29, after Tommy who is after Nick! Wahoo! And me at 6:54 behind Tommy who is behind Nick! And then I'm next to Drew around the 10 minute mark.
