Yes, this drumline was excellent and some things may have changed about the activity in the past 10+ years, but does nobody remember the "tenor dance" from the closer of this show? Talk about silly dance moves...

@kenelbow The Dumb and Dumber Tuxedo Dance is what won them drums that year. The great book and great execution was just icing on the cake.

Damn...

This line sounds a little better than I remember them sounding in person.

I love the 90's and late 80s drum lines and DCI BUT if we want to have DCI to watch the activity needs to progress and grow. Lines today are playing just as well as lines of yesteryear AND they are doing "silly dance moves" or interpretive body movement. The books are not easier and there is far more visual demand on the drumlines of today than compared to the 80s and even late 90s.

Great stuff. Each era thinks they were the real deal and the new guys are a joke...

this when drumlines played like men...

[neilyvanneily]

...and they didn't ruin their percussion features with silly dance moves.

[DJCatura]
