LIVE FROM SACRAMENTO...!

Freelancers first Corp I ever seen. 1981, yes, I'm old! Been drum Corp fan since. Sad to see them go, but Mandarins doing it! Go sac, and go Mandarins!

​@@freyravin9068Freelancers were the first drum corp a bunch of us band kids from Ponderosa high school in Shingle springs went to see . Totally blew our minds ! Hughes stadium and we were in such a damn hurry to get to the show that we locked our car keys in the car. Afterwards we started going to watch Blue devils and Santa Clara Van Guard rehearse every chance we got. Loved them all equally. Miss lying to our parents and hightailing it down to the bay area to get our fix . Miss Freelancers but these guys are totally awesome.

They need to clean up A LOT if they’re going to score higher. DCI has been very fair and consistent with their placement of the Mandarins.

Dci corporate is the one that needs to clean it up. I don't see them being a thing much longer if current trends continue. Also, since when is 8th to 6th a huge jump? Some of the cores havent performed in what will be two years time next season. They'll get top 6.

@@trap4dafu2k0fit a corps can be 80% different members one year to the next

Just like that they scored 6th in 2023

corps

They're one of the most fastest improved corps imo They have recently been a top 12 corps since 2018

There’s at least a couple of them up on RU-vid. Just searches Cavaliers 2021

Jupiter xo mostly i believe

No, it’s drum and bugle corps, no woodwinds

@@michaelwenhold8117 who can say. 20 years ago I woukd never have believed electrics and amplifiers

DCI SoundSport does but SoundSport is really small. In the main sections of DCI (world & open class) they don't. I wish they did at least for like solos or whatever but they don't. (Edit: forgot to add something)

old man energy

only soloists and pit had mics... they were one of the only high up corps that didn't mic the hornline

@@gabrielmichels7022 - Then apparently only “old men” get real.

truth

No.

If they aren’t marching and playing music then what are they doing my dude

is that not what theyre doing?

They are marching, playing music, and spinning quite well.

What??? Everyone’s drill is simpler this year due to the reduced rehearsal time. The complexity of what performers are doing now are far beyond what they were asked to do in the 80’s and 90’s, but you can’t objectively base your assessment off this year. Great job Mandarins!

@@danielgray3691 "

DCI has pretty much turned into ballet on a football field OR a halftime Super Bowl show. Soon you'll see turntables (already have the microphones). Surprised we don't have drum machines, a guitar line, fireworks and lights. DCI has moved so far from its roots it is almost unrecognizable and the music certainly is NOT entertaining or rememberable.

@@JohnSmith-zi9or hyperbole much lol?

@@JohnSmith-zi9or damn that’s crazy dude

I think you’re hoping for some kind of mature musical continuity, in an activity that has now long been sold out to a generation completely blind to anything beyond their own Attention Deficit Disorder. This diminished sense of building a good show musically is made all the more tragic by the obvious advances in visual design and movement, and the extraordinary chops of the young players. It could be truly thrilling. Instead, it’s mostly just frenetic and anonymous, like a highlights reel of too many fragments of unrelated movies.

The show is based off of Yayoi Kusama and her artwork. The ending dance phrase is a quote from her

These old head takes are tired and sad. Let the kids be daring - let them tell stories and craft narratives and artistic expression how they will. Abstract forms and expressionism or even purposefully challenging non-narratives are all valid and meaningful forms of expression, have been for centuries, and will continue to be long after anyone currently living is dead. Further, GE isn't everything. Never has been. No one cares if you don't like late-era Coltrane or Sun-Ra or if you believe Seven Samurai is objectively better than Rhapsody in August because it has a far cleaner narrative and character motivations - this show didn't speak to you. That's fine. But it clearly spoke to a lot of people, most importantly, the performers. Especially considering drum corps is an art form in which none of the actual people you're watching get to write the bones of the show (while I am sure there is plenty of input, especially nowadays), and definitely not the concept of it - this dismissiveness is actually offensive to those who put their heart and souls into this performance you choosing to chastise when you could have just been silent. Nice try, Brian - what could have been a great comment complimenting something you liked about the show was made a patronizing review that no one asked for, all to the detriment to those who put it on for you.
