Green Army Drum Corps Full Performance and Solos / Disney's Hollywood Studios. Join us as we enjoy a full performance from the beloved Green Army Drum Corps.
I served with these guys back in the 70's. I was just a kid then. we had some tough battles all over my room, on the stairs, in the dinning room, heck few rooms in the house were spared from battle. The Greys always put up a good fight. They were skilled and worthy opponents. many a soldier didnt survive, especially when I left them on the radiator, but sacrifices had to be made to ensure the mission was completed. It warms my heart to see these soldiers still serving. May no magnifying glass ever touch their heads and no candle ever scorch their feet.
The green color, the equipment, the folds in the clothing, their physical build, and their poses look exactly like the plastic army men I played with as a kid. Someone spent a lot of time and energy to get those details that perfect.
@RussellTeapot - OMG! I'm viewing this on a phone, so I had to look again, and I saw the flopping at the feet which I originally thought was just loose shoe covering material for jungle insect protection. And this time I looked for and saw the mould lines, thanks for pointing that out. Some creative brain or brains did a great job here 😂. (I hope these guys don't overheat in that weather) P.S. I also did not mention the expressions on their faces were perfect too.
@@RussellTeapotAs a scale modeller, I get a strong urge to attack them with a scalpel and a file! And then a coat of spray primer, and a proper paint job!
Cool story about the Green Army Corps. While we were walking through Toy Story Land in Disney World, we walked past them and one of them complimented my brother's "Boots". He was wearing crocs with black panther and slinky dog charms. He said, "I like your boots soldier"
No ones gonna mention that little boy doing pushups had really good form? 3:07 Like bruh that kid was hitting em solid, i know grown men that dont have form that good. The army men of course were fantastic
The costumes, the energy, the playing, and the chops from the tenor were all perfectly balanced and amazingly well put together. Wish they had a cymbal player to fill in the little gaps tho 👍
Hats off to these 'soldiers' for doing such a great job. If they were actual plastic they'd be melting out there. Disney knows how to entertain. I hope these guys are making great money and living the life they deserve. Performance is no EASY JOB and no one would ever see it if these guys are having an off or bad day (like all of us do). Say 'thank you' to a creative today - we have given a lot throughout a lifetime to try to enrich the lives of people around us in so many ways, and it's only getting harder out here. Support actions like the SAG-AFTRA strike - everyone deserves to be treated respectfully - we deserve to have a future when we put everything we have into what we do. Have a great day - ya'll.
That’s what I was thinking about the entire time watching these guys, drenched in sweat to say the least. I almost started sweating just thinking about it honestly lol
I wonder if they have some sneaky cooling systems in those costumes? Like cool water tubes and a pump or something? I can't imagine they don't end up in a ER with heat exhaustion...
Awesome Green Army Drum Corp!! And as they used to say when my daughter was in basic training… “Left, right, left, right. You had a good home, but you left, right? Left right, left, right. You had a good home, but you left, right?” I will never forget that! 😂
I'm dying laughing here. Those costumes are so perfectly spot on!!! The plasticy look to the suits and the green cut off on the boots. OMG!! This is just awesome! 🤣🤣
great to see these drummers making people smile and making money doing it. and a shout out to the seamstress, the costumes are spot on! I remember back in the early '90's Sea World in San Diego had a mobile marching band; they be playing T.O.P. and and kinds of sweet grooves, with full drum kit grooves. Knew a few dudes that played in that band over the years.
Drum cores always have a special place in my heart, they're such good fun to listen to and watch. These guys especially nailed it, putting on such a good interactive show for their audience
I'm just happy about the amount of raw effort these kinds of park employees give towards their jobs. Like, I know they are hired and paid to play these roles, but some people put minimum, and others put maximum, and you can tell them apart easily. Hell, they get to put their drum line experience to work everyday making people happy. Who wouldn't be enjoying their time, and honestly, probably good practice, too.
Now that is what I call a good performance. Not only they are talented, their cosplay as those green toy soldiers are really excellent. Shout out to the kids that did those 10+ push ups!
The fact that the tenor player in the middle can get his legs that high in the air at 1:39 and still control his playing is just impressive. I know that’s not technically difficult to play while moving, but using that much leg strength while having a drum harness on has to be a decent amount of work.
Just finished watching this and it was weird. My face hurt, couldn't figure out why. Until I saw I had been smiling like a little kid the whole time. Thanks for sharing this!
A number of years ago we saw the first version of Toy Story On Ice the night a winter storm hit the area. The marching green soldiers routine amazed the audience who erupted with a sustained standing ovation. It was the highlight of the show!
When I first saw this it gave me chills what a great performance the drumming was perfect I love the drum corps these guys should play at a college football
My basic training unit, they auditioned us for drums. We had some former high school and college drummers. We marched everywhere with snares and bass drums. We rocked our marches.
This is my first time seeing this, really impressed I’m a retired army NCO & drummer and this was also one of my favorite toys “green soldiers” when I was a kid, this hits all the checks. Really badass, thanks for posting 🤘enjoyed it.
This was beautiful. I'm so glad this was posted online. The trumpeting at 1:44, the solos, the fact that the camera couldn't fully pick up their fast motions... beautfiul.
Just thinking that. Drum corps folks have a lot of heat experience and acclimation, but they gotta have ice vests or something. Just look at the girls in the background dabbing sweat off while wearing shorts and just standing.
That was an exceptional performance... from the chops to the walks to the patter with the crowd,m, tight as a chaffinch's chuff, as we say on the building sight here in Blighty.
@@thenelsonbruhs722 most flubs can have either 1 or 2 heads. EDIT: judging by the equipment, they might be using Pearl drums. Thus, the drums they are using are: -Pearl Championship quints (small-block) -Championship marching snare -I can’t identify the flub drum, so I’m not sure if its Pearl-branded or if its another brand
I love how they got the color and poses spot on. I especially like the flat pieces on their boots just like the little green army men I used to play with as a kid. Great drummers that put on a great show. They should be invited to the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo. I bet they would be a huge hit.
I wish people who wrote cadences would write material that’s actually difficult. This cadence is clearly a cane walk for these guys. They can obviously play much harder stuff
They're all Drum Corp age-outs of course they can play harder stuff, but that's not what's important. What's important is that it's digestible to the untrained ear while still looking and sounding cool.
I take it back I just finished the video. When I saw them live a few months ago they played much more impressive stuff IDK what happened. I'm hoping this was just a bad recording
Phenomenal! Were they playing bars in reverse in the beginning?? While they were walking backwards? I would have loved to be able to see that live. Not a moment felt forced or overdone. These guys are skilled drum warriors! And have a great stage presence. Something tells me these green men may also be blue on ocassion 🤔
