I marched soprano in this show! My one and only season with the Madison Scouts. ;)

[jck]

the Scouts could use Malaguena as their finisher literally every year and I still would never get tired of it lol

[reynolds]

I competed against this show all summer in 96. It was always a chore to follow these guys. The audience was absolutely spent. All the babies were already thrown! I have to say, this is one of my all-time favorite drum corps shows of any era. They just grabbed you by the short hairs and shook like a rabid dog for the entire duration. They were loud as all creation and so exciting. What a group!

[michaelmoon]

This show is SO GOOD yet so underrated. Especially in the shadow of Madison 95. This is the one I have been waiting for for months!

[samsignorelli]

And now Courtney has seen one of the all-time great three-year runs....Madison 95-97.

[Miyamotospoop]

The closer in this show is Malagueña, a song the scouts famously played in 1988, what many people believe to be the greatest closer of all time. Definitely recommend!

[drcmcico]

I saw them live in Circleville Ohio in 96 with my wife and brother. The energy they infused in that stadium was amazing. They just kept coming at you. The lead soloist John Shipper was on point. My all time favorite show and drum corp, fan for life!

[smdftb]

Yes they are soprano G bugles. They play Bb trumpets now. The guy you were impressed with is John "Iron Lips" Schipper.

Also, "ok colorguards" may be the cutest shit ever lol

The Madison Scouts went gender inclusive in December 2019, had a cancelled season in 2020, and a shortened one in 2021 where women and nonbinary folks were welcomed to the corp for the first time. I was lucky enough to be one of those first few sisters, and our show paid tribute to the Scouts of old while paving the way for a brilliant future. If you’ve got the time to check it out I highly recommend

Legendary sop line, glad I got to see it. Scouts have always been underrated. That is dci, it’s not supposed to be an orchestra, but unfortunately the judges are classical guys. Power and ballsy solos that we remember for our lives. That’s why Scouts will always be fan favorites, and burned unjustly by judges.

[El_Bueno]

There are drum corps that try to impress judges... And those that please the crowds. These guys pleased the crowds. It's such a crime that they placed 5th or 6th. Nobody remembers who won. But this show will always be legendary.

[michaelmoon]

The drumline this year was HUGE. Most corps run 5 basses, 7-8 snares, and 4 tenors, but Madison decided to run 5 basses, 7 snares, 8 TENORS, and 4 cymbals just because they can.

[shscjs]

My absolute FAVORITE Scouts show of all time! My favorite version of Maleguena, and of course the drill!

[hrnguy]

A Drum Corps Fans Dream: Part Dos
8 tenors (what?!?!)
6 bases (5 just isn't enough)
7 snares
4 cymbals
:Brass book parts (guessing here)
6 soprano parts (3 parts each with splits? smokin' soloists)
3 mellophone parts
3 baritone parts
2 contra parts
killer pit
guard spinning their asses off

all while playing some awesome music. Yup - drum corps fans dream.

....if someone marched or taught this show, I would be interested to hear what the part assignments were.

[jeffe_]

2 things I remembered about this show. The soprano soloist and the 8 man tenor line in the Drumline. Very rare to have the many, especially when they outnumber the snare line.

[jessephilippe-auguste]

I absolutely love her genuine reactions. Her attention to the nuances as well. The fact that she notices the “genuflecting” and appreciates it is awesome. Wish there were more people like her.

Hi Courtney. So happy you’ve come to be a Madison Scouts fan. I marched Scouts in 1998. Scouts’ hornline always prided itself on being extremely loud and powerful....they always say BYBO..Blow Your Balls Off. Ha ha.

Courtney Picking up on Coolness Factor ... ::CHECK::
Using the term Soprano Properly ::CHECK::

96 Part Dos - is a great show in the Madison Scouts history. I personally wasn't a fan of Bolero in this show. It kind of stunted the pacing of the program. Malaguena is always a Scouts classic (hard to beat 1988 version... but who cares?). The "Dream" in this show ( for me ) is Arturro Sandoval's - A Mis Abuelos (the opener). Probably one of the top 5 hardest "Spanish/Latin" charts in DCI history. Obviously, the soloist is a monster. Well done brother!
Scott Boerma's style of arranging brass for Scouts always amazed me. It was my honor to play his charts and be taught by him. I just want to point out that the general fan often goes earblind (yeah I'm making this up) to the range of the Soprano and Baritone book. You have to have 20+ stone cold killer sops to play a Boerma book. Almost all of your notes are so high above the staff that the general listener gets used to it as a "NORMAL" range ... IT'S NOT!!! Those dudes are screaming high notes the entire a section AS A SECTION!!!! IN TUNE ON G BUGLES. Bust out a keyboard or a trumpet and transpose the notes you hear you'll come to understand and hopefully appreciate the Scouts Brass Books of 89-06 and WHY they have so much sizzle and fire.

[BRUXXUS]

Super fun! One of the best!
I also didn’t realize till I saw this again just now how clean the drill was. Drill with such small intervals and WHITE PANTS is almost impossible to clean, but they nailed it. Dang.

[randallgeschke]

I'm so happy to see people reacting to drum corps videos especially this one cause I marched with the racine scouts and was at just about every show Madison scouts were at and got to see their amazing performances live and in person from this show until 98 just amazing and wish I could have once been in the Madison scouts
