I know I'm reaching an incredibly niche audience with posting drum corps content, but here's some of my favorite moments of this year's DCI shows. Also really liked Phantom (as usual lol, another year another season where I love Troopers, Crown, and Phantom), but I don't have a great recording of them.
Sadly most of these clips are weeks old (except Troop I managed to get their performance from Atlanta today 🤫) and these shows are even better now, so if any of these interest you, I suggest seeking out more recent recording and look out in a couple weeks for the Finals shows in Indy!
“If you’ve seen “Spartacus” — if you haven’t, go watch it, fall in love with this beautiful activity all over again, and then come back and keep reading — think about that show for a minute. Other than a brief opening moment and prior to the ballad, when is there a truly resounding impact melody in that show? Even the ballad itself is only half of a true pay-off.”
