USMC Drum & Bugle Corps - Malaguena

[mrsig1000]

Tid Bit........two-valve and three-valve vertically mounted ... Kanstul bugles are used by the United States Naval Academy Drum & Bugle Corps, ... A set of custom two valve models were built for the US Marines Drum & Bugle Corps.

@rRainMain137......yo dude, they are not playing trumpets, they still use bugles, and this goes for everyone.......you young people are a trip....you guys need to study the history of Drum and Bugle Corps, go all the way back to 1970 for starters, you can do some of it on you tube, look up 27th Lancers 1976 and move up, you can find all the other great corps as well, Blue Devils, Madison, Santa Clara, Bridgemen, Kilties, Kingsmen, ect. Late 70's early 80's sat the stage for Drum Corp today.

Real Marines play the Xylophone.

[nickster1028]

WOW and that was the USMC Trumpet Trio at there best.

[tucker422]

@nickster1028 it was the camera dude

[UMdrummer]

good bassline!

[jazznoor]

this arrangement is based of the Stan Kenton big band arrangement i believe.

[navilluswp]

@jazznoor : you are correct.



[hibrassmann]

Great corps.... sopranos, tune it up guys.

[RogueBrit]

@3:34 awful No passion or punch too slow dare I say too regimented.......

[ANGELGARCIAMUSICA]

awesome!!!!

[claybo13]

nobody can EVER touch the Scouts on this..... i'm sorry.

[mikethere]

2:48-2:52 epic bass run

[darthrebelpenguin]

Wow, great trumpet players, terrible improvisation.

[novatechie]

As an alumni of the Commandant's Own ( Truman Crawford days), I'm naturally biased.

That said, I heard them play this song in the ball room at the Sheraton over the summer and they rocked the house. They were wearing civi's and relaxed for an appreciative house so they took care of business kind of the way Florida took care of Cinnci last night.

That said, Dallas / North Texas has a pretty darn good jazz scene so I could understand some dissapointment from some.

[ehscymbals011]

too slow...

cymbal line was kinda lame and trumpet trio was kinda lame in my opinion

but the military bands are amazing so im just gonna mark this as an off day for them

[usmcsax81]

*yawn*.........

[Txdrumx11xtwilight]

i dont like this at all...

[Sharod101]

Great Song

Good Band/Corps

but this is poorly played tbh. its more square then then the state of Colorado.

[RochesterCycling]

When squares play jazz...

[lexzia]

Like this one... Cool

[RainMan137]

Wow...that trumpet trio...was.....uhh... hahaha

[JeremysBugles]

no kidding.. I think my ears bled a little bit

[XIce11]

Those are some really sweet bass splits at 2:45

[chnningham41]

Best Song, Best Band.

[cloud498]

the Cadets did it better

[Sharod101]

the scouts did it 100x better then the Cadets.

[Pcclancers1996]

These guys rock this song.

[Sharod101]

totally.

disagree.

i've heard middle school trumpet players improvise better jazz solos.

[lincolnhasapikachu]

HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH trumpet solo = shit. i have respect for these guys but most unexciting malaguena ever!!!!

[Noclo]

was that the trumpet in the middle for the trioin the right key?

[JeremysBugles]

Sop trio.... Please tell me it was the camera distorting their tone.... *gets queesy*

[MadisonScout07]

Yeah, I used a shit camera.

[marias32]

i actually must agree..ive seen many versions of malaguena performed...and ive actually heard better...sorry to say...but these guys are awesome and have total respect for them!!

[bennyTbaritone]

i have to agree that this isnt the most exciting arrangement of malaguena.

[MarineBugler]

Yep. I agree too. I marched in the '90's when Col. Crawford was the director. The new director is not a drum corps guy at heart. He is "band trained" and his arrangements reflect that, unfortunately. Fortunately, he is retiring soon. :)

[wtfover77]

You're hokey. THIS ROCKS!

[prepboys1]

The arrangement is too hokey.
