Blue Devils Drumline 1997 || Aged Out Reacts 

I love you guys for this my name is Montoya Williams far right tall ass snareline yeah it got cleaner at finals sometimes I had to look down to see if I was still hitting the damn drum it was so clean.....ICONS of the 90's glad to be a part of this....thanks guys

That tenor line is legendary: Chris Burroughs , Sean Vega, Pete Friedhoff, and Rudy Garcia

I miss 90s drum corps, going in the lot and watching everyone warmup. Drum Corps today doesn't seem like Corps anymore which breaks my heart.

Citrus Bowl love

This was THE line we were all trying to be like for more than a decade after the fact.

Don’t apologize for the length...would gladly listen to a longer video of this. Great content guys!

I love how you guys can’t get through an entire tune before one of you is like “I NEED THAT AGAIN!” Haha. Amazing drumline! And if you ever get a chance to see that double stop quad section in the “Night in Tunisia” tune, you gotta see it from another angle! It’s crazier than you think!

Naoiki Ishikawa absolutely killed it on that snare line.

Here's question - what year did the the tenor players start standing up straight.... 96?

That speed of light snare roll phrase that follows the snare/quad metric modulation, and ends with hits as tight as a cat's butt still holds as my favorite DCI snare roll to this day. Y'all had some real balls.

I was with Kiwanis Kavaliers marching sop/trumpet this year and got to see this show a bunch. You mentioned them playing with pretty high stick heights. If I remember right, they were pretty far back field a lot of the show and the horn line this year (and 98 for that matter) was loud af so it makes sense. Had to play high stick heights just to balance.

Thanks for checking out the video guys! Love the podcast and the reaction videos. Many many more will be coming out!

The quad double stop part at 11:21 moving around the quads🤯🤯🤯! Holy smokes they were good that year.

While yall thought a lot of this looked goofy, they were the first to do most of these visuals and it fit perfectly with the front ensemble and horn book. 97 was iconic for battery. They featured the line in musical spots you'd not expect. Every solo and showcase was a moment in this show. The camera guys actually did a fair job showing it for once as well. I took my dad to his first DCI show and when they performed the warmup with ditty in the backfield my dad was like "yup they just won". Scores didn't show how superior this corps was to 2nd place.

14:45 is a really cool moment in contrast, because the guards are literally weaving their sabres above the drum heads during crossover section

Sorry , but the 95’-97’ bd line was probably the best ever.

Rudy Garcia was 17 on the quad line. Wow.

Thanks for doing this one! This and SCV 98 got me listening to DCI way back when.

I love when dudes get hyped about the lines of my era. What a great time it was to be in this activity.

Amazing line.

this was so much fun to watch, thank you guys!

Center snare (Nathan Eby) was my instructor my sophomore year. He and another guy from the line made me a custom VHS tape with this stuff and more before it was all put on the Blue Devil dvds. Had stuff from 95-98. All lot. My brother took it and lost it......so angry

I was a BDB brat that summer and watched in awe every chance I got. They were SO clean, and that book will always be one of my favorites!

Scojo rockin’ the Corpsmaster shirt. Vic Firth Blue Devils!

Forgot to add - I have NO idea what the "Happy Birthday" means. My high school/Mandarins tenor tech took this video, so maybe it was pre-set to play on his birthday?

I really enjoy the reaction videos and it's a learning experience for me as well!

You guys should try to find the bd dvd that came out towards the end of ‘97. It has footage from ‘95, ‘96, and ‘97. There was a book that had a-lot of the show beats as well. Sorry, i can’t remember the name, but i have seen some videos posted on youtube from that dvd.

Roger Carter aged out in 1995.

Reaction video for 2000 Blue Knights Drumline?

It'd be neat to see some open class corps get some love like Revolution, Blue Devils B, Oregon Crusaders, Genesis before they joined world class, etc.

"the hell are the quads doing?" 2 seconds later "Jezusss..."

React to cavies 2017 drumline or bluecoats 2013

Crown 2010 with Eric carr next! Maybe a podcast too

Rog aged out 1995 You want to see a young ScoJo, check out this vid of him teching BD in 1982!!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WSCzNxYPJ4U.html Have to give BD 97 the most improved award, they were quite a BD dirty early season and had their work cut out, but man were they clean by finals. Well deserved percussion title that season.

Pls react to 07 phantom.

When you guys gonna do a 95 Devil's? I've followed drum corps since 86 and that 95 Devil's tenor feature is still the sickest one yet! Btw, Love the podcasts!

Please react to ''WGI 1993 Champions CW" video. This is the FIRST WGI Gold Medalist in Percussion. Dave Glyde and Jeff Lee arranged a Dave Weckl inspired show. 2 Snares from the Iconic 1997 BD Snare line were in the Clovis West HS (Fresno, Ca) group. You may be surprised...enjoy!

Why can't they go back to high tuning snares like this?

Stop talking.

The difference between then and now is men vs. boys. Modern drum lines don’t play through the head instead they dance around like little sprites
