Cadets 2000 || Star of Indiana 1993 || Blue Knights 1995 || Aged Out Reacts with Josh Brickey 

Hey... fellas. I'm the second bass drummer in the Cadets 2000 line, and my name is Nick Kline. Thanks for the shoutout and I'm glad you took my advice and marched!

I marched Star 93 and nothing makes me feel older than listening to this banter LOL. What an honor to have marched in this hornline this season and hear that drumline and pit play every day.

I was lucky to have Jared from the 2000 cadet quad line be my battery instructor for my senior year of high school. Those guys were at a different level!!

I was on drum staff BK95-97 and I can tell you firsthand, those dudes had hands for days AND they fought for quality in every note. By today's standards, maybe they played a little "hard," but the results were amazing. I was very, very lucky to be able to watch that every day. Ralph's books always speak for themselves.

I'm picking up the life I left in 2003 after retiring from active service, so I just found your channel. One of my old students is on the end of the Cadets snare Line, and I could not have been more proud of him.

Jerede Brown on Bass 2 for 1993 Star is an absolute legend! Marched Cadets 1987-1991 prior to this.

I agree with Josh on the mag vests. They were the best carriers to march in. Marched with those in 05 and 06. Tube carriers are light but are a pain to deal with.

To fill in some missing information for you guys, bass 2 at Cadets was Nick Kline :)

I will never forget this night. Lucky to have marched with such an amazing group of people.

If you want some “older” videos check out some glassmen 2000-2002. When McNutt was there

you guys, this warms my soul to see bk 95 get props. Having marched 00 blue stars and 01 cap reg under kris hartman, who marched in bk 95's snareline, it's just so great for a) these lot vids to be digitized and preserved, and b) for the truth to be revealed, haha. that line was a crew of monsters. additional props for including star 93 and 00 cadets--who were totally NOT the hype that summer (cavs were just destroying everyone (rightly so))-but who, in hindsight, had a really great book and line and who have much to be proud of. also 00's bk line was the sh*t--alright, thanks so much for revivifying this era, yall!

I got to work with Brent Montgomery and he lost hearing in one ear because of Star 93. Taught the importance of relaxed aggression

OMG, the colorguard doing their hand movement at 11:25 is so wonderful, I can feel the excitement.

i actually started cracking up at 11:15, can't believe i'm one of the "young kids" who hasn't seen this drumline before lol

Yes sirs! Star was where I found my love for marching band. And they were in my backyard growing up. That 2000 cadets show was my senior year of highschool.

Tim Maynard was our foot tech at Regiment in 03. Such a sweet dude!

Thanks for these comparison series. 21:14 clean rolls for decades to come. 22:15

The 1977 Oakland Crusaders Drumline won High Drums at DCI Prelims and did not make DCI Finals.

Firberglass J-bar vest carriers!

Nick was at Boston in 89-91 (maybe), SCV 92, Star 93, Brass Theater 94 (Star’s early version of Blast!), and BK in 95. One hell of a career.

I marched trumpet in this corps in 2000. It's interesting to hear drummers talking about the nuances, technique and cleanliness of drummers.

Wow. Loved that. It’s so awesome to hear dudes appreciate those lines ☺️

1:09:51 in the original vid is the best gok shot ever recorded

I remember seeing Star 93 in Toledo as the season kick off show and I hated it. Seeing it again on the Finals Broadcast and I started changing my mind. The more I listened to the show the more I fell in love with it. This show was so awesome and before it's time. Still probably my favorite show of all time.

There was just something about how they made those Premier snare before Yamaha bought them out. The tone of the snare drums they made are so damn tasty. I have an old Premier. I do not know what it is but it still sound louder then any single snare I have played since. Find an ole Pre on Ebay and buy it. Best solid drum ever.

2000 BK had a mean line as well, these 90s lines had a certain tenacity that went well into the 2000s. It's amazing to see the transition and how these 90s drumlines influenced their successors.

Great stuff!! All of my teachers are in these groups!!

Ralph appreciating the roll lick at 22:00 :)

Notably, BK did finish 3rd in percussion in 2000, behind the two champs. :)

If i remember correctly, Cadets beat Star by .10 of a point at finals in 1993.

Maybe they were saying VK 95? They were pretty damn good too.

16:50 I always wondered if Tom Float was drunk, lol. It almost seemed like he was insulted that his line that clearly had a beefier book than the Cadets lost to them with a perfect score. Of course looking back and Kevin Murray (marched BD Snare 86-88) said this, the scoring sheets were evolving and the Cadets staff knew this, hence the perfect score.

I went to Pennwood middle school with slack. He was a year ahead of me. Are percussion instructor Mr. D also marched for the cadets

I think 94 BD had rolls like this and some Phantom lines from the 80s, although I’ve never seen any footage of those Phantom lines in the lot. There are several videos of that BD line, obviously, but here’s one where you can really hear the quality: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ITjeEGWtW5E.htmlsi=2Js0Zica5uzaxBkZ

RIP Aaron Moline, *93 snare

If you haven't already, check out VK '95.

BK 95, we beat every drumline atleast once that year with the exception of Phantom

Magvests were awesome.

What a treasure trove of content with this channel, thank you guys. I would also request react to the Broken City 2019 WGI finals legendary lot. SCV 1992 Phantom Regiment 2006-07 and 2010 SCV 2016

The year Crossmen did a Pat Metheny show - 97 I think? Awesome drumline.

3 great lines right there.

Great commentary fellas! 👌🏾

last thing star did. until the star alumni corps in 2010, which is wonderful. seen it?

I went to high school with Jason Koontz. Funny you live by him now ha ha.

Second on the mag-vest

Great video gents! please check out Santa Clara Vanguard 1998, you won't be sorry. Happy listening!!

Would love to hear a reaction to 1992 SCV. Talk about an all-star caliber line.

Here’s the video of the 1987 retreat. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BNEC0J1885w.html Not only does Tom Floats talk crap to the Cadets (5:52), but at the very end you can see a snare age-out from Vanguard stab his snare head with his stick (9:43). Legend has it he later tossed that snare off the top row out of Camp Randall Stadium. Ah the 80’s

All of the corps in the top 12 would play to the champion.

Bill cook!!!

Clean AF....but 6 snares is always gonna potentially be cleaner than 9 snares.

Have they done Cavies 2000? I'll have to look unless I missed it

I was always wondering, i believe people if they say Star of Indiana was unholy in how clean it was but watching bd 23 or boston 22 versus star makes star look amateur, is there a reason for this? Is the vhs just that bad at doing it justice

There are kids who haven't listened to anything pre 2010 lmao. Let alone star 1993.

18:00 That has to be the Allentown lot, right?

everybody knows of MJ Blue Knights
