The Cavaliers- "Africa" by Toto 

0:39 OH MY GOD THE MELLO

We did it guys. The mellos drowned out the trumpets

Ay bro, watch out for that lightning!

Lightning detected 3.3 miles from Auburn, AL

Is this what you get at the gates of heaven?

I love it in this key. It makes the song sound more triumphant and like it has a bigger purpose.

Who pissed off the mellos geez

The Mello rips are god tier, but don't be sleepin' on those drum fills.

Sweet Jesus those mellos 0:35

Filmed with a toothbrush

*God joined the server*

0:42 is complete heaven

UGH THE MELLOS OMG IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY

I've never clicked on a video so fast in my life

Those mellos are why I’m auditioning for 2019

Bruh those mellos broke my speakers

LIGHTNING DETECTED

Well time to join the cavaliers!

1:36 the tuba in the left corner dancing cracks me up😂

I would kill for sheet music

The show sounds great this year guys!

Sweet christ

I never knew I needed this

Hey that was great! Not the cleanest, but it’s early season, and I know how it goes with these “encore” songs. Limited practice time is devoted. Just meant to be a fun song.

It's 2018 why are people still filming in 240p?

Why can’t I like a video more than once?

0:56 OMG I WANT THAT MELLOPHONE PART!!!

Good job mellos

Huge Toto and DCI fan. I have heard alot of silly arrangements of this song and this is NOT one of them. The Mellophones .. Keep kicking ass lads. Unreal sound. Awesome job by all.

Why are the Cavaliers like this lol

*puts audio over clip of Thor entering the Battle of Wakanda at **00:39*

HOLY SH*T THE GODDAMN MELLOS!!!!!!! I’m a trumpet player and I tip the cap. Excellent work all around.

I’ve watched this like a hundred times and I still get goosebumps at the mellophone hit😂

Dear god those French horns ripped the crap out of that at 0:40! Freaking well done!

This makes me so happy

روعة يا الله قلب يرجف قشعريرة في كل الجسم وروح في السحاب روعة

0:35 damn my lips would have fallen off, Mello FTW

this makes me a proud mello player

Just called Chief. He said this is it.

This video is why I play F Horn.

Here before this blows up

THOSE MELLOS😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

This is freaking legendary! This band deserves a Grammy award for this

This is why I love the Cavaliers😂👌

Trombone players where you at? love this

"lightning detected 3.3miles from Auburn, AL". Even the gods are a fan =)

Favorite Drum Corp. Favorite classic song. YES GOD YES.

This was the best non recorded version of this song great job especially the low brass section mellos

Now, THIS is good music, and FUN. I wish more corps would do encores like this. I may be "old school", but I MISS the old days of corps when corps performed covers (yes, you can call it "other people's music"). Corps has gotten to "avant-guarde" and new-age for me. Trying to name the theme of a show is becoming comical..."Ladies and gentlemen, this year's show is entitled, 'Cylindrical Omniscience: Man's journey through the catacombs of the cerebral stratosphere'...". I mean, really, come on.

This song will always be a banger.

THIS IS MEME MATERIAL HERE PEOPLE

Honestly the mellos are what make this amazing, their sustain is celestial

This makes my heart extremely happy

Yeah, mellophones! Wait, why was that squiggly red spellcheck underlining "mellophones"? There it is again!

Cavaliers are good boys and nothing anyone says can convince me otherwise.

The first time I ever saw this video I was in 8th grade, completely uneducated about DCI, literally had no clue the Cavaliers were one of the best corps, and didn’t even know that I’d be playing mellophone next year at the high school (as a French horn player). Genuinely thought it was a high school band and I remember being completely blown away. I came back to this video cause I’m a third year mello and I’m utterly in love with this sound. I wanna try out for a couple corps in the next few seasons and it all started with this video. Music can change people.

This is quality meme material. God bless the cavalier's.

Ahhhhh the brassinesss! So good

The Cavaliers are my favorite Corp for a reason

I BLESS THE RAINS DOWN IN AFRICA

As a brass player, this is very emotional for me.

This is exactly why the Cavaliers are my favourites...

Dude seeing all of these comments about the mellos as a forgotten mello is like - AM I IN HEAVEN OR????

Saw this last night at Smith Walbridge Clinics at EIU! It was great

Yooooo I don’t even play mello but holy shit!! Those rips🤤🤤

0:39 to 0:44 gives me goosebumps every single time

0:42 left me shook. It’s so beautiful.

oh it's sublime....sss golike....SSSSS GOOOOOOOOOOOOD

This is simply fantastic. And that drummer just keeping an awesome chill groove the whole time. Beautiful fill at the end.

THE MELLOS OH MY GOD

AYEEEEE I WAS THERE THEY SOUNDED AMAZING

Just keep Winning............SPLOOIE !!!!!!!

the PIT and the headbanging...

It's so good I didn't even realize it was 2 minutes long.

I love it. Cavies playing something all these kid’s parents grew up listening to on the radio and doing a fine job of it.

The mellos are on fire!

Were playing this in our marching show this year and I couldn’t be happier!!!!!!

Ahhhhhh i was there. I was at that DCI comp oh my gosh!!!!

I was there to see this competition and it was the best day of my life when they started to play this song. I can't wait to go to another competition for DCI like this one!

How beautiful please 👏👏👏👏👏😍😍😍😍😍

If it doesn't give you goosebumps you are dead inside. Absolutely brilliant what white people can do

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEES

No amps just pure sound that was great. Thats real corps. GO CAVI'S

i watched this thinking this was somewhere from 2000-2010 cavaliers because of the quality

I listen to this once a day

This is the best band piece ever played

I just had an eargasm.

this brought me to tears. like everytime the low brass hits hard

THIS IS SO GOOD!!!

That PHAT mello sound

I was in the Sobrato High marching band, and we did this after having just switching to a typical marching style from swing marching. Also, we turned into a competition band. Our show theme was africa, and Africa by Toto was one of our movements/songs. Besides our performance; which was of such quality that a trumpet/horn player in my grade (that later became drum-major) continues to be adamant that that year and marching band performance did not happen; our mellos were also too loud.

That was awesome!!! If only the corps played songs like this in their actual field shows...

Beautiful

0:42 Best Part.

The Cavaliers actually went to my hometown of Adrian, Michigan in June of 2018 before their first showing in Detroit. So I got to hear their show early. Also, my dad was a Bluecoat, so I know what this is.

Presenting their 2019 show...

This is EXCELLENT. Who would have thought a marching band could do such a good cover? Wow.

WOW!!!! WOW!!!! WWWWOOOOOWWWW!!!! A partir del segundo 36!!!! Maravilloso!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 BRAVO!

When the whole band started playing is way more majestic than the actual song. Congrats to the cavaliers.

This is another reason why I’m learning Mellophone even tho I have already learned a lot like Transposing from Alto & Mello and also play an instrument in the Key of F so about does it Almost. But I’m definitely thinking about switching within now & Next Fall of 2022. Bc I’m also looking forward to being a Marching Southerner next Fall as well.
