  • @liveforeveroasis32 What about waking up at 6 am to go to drill box and spending the next 10 hours perfecting every set and note on the page? Or spending hours upon hours playing that triplet roll exercise to get every single diddle to flow perfectly? Your sport requires a lot of work, and so does mine. So how about we stop wasting time arguing like little girls over who puts forth more effort and spend it practicing?

  • For those of you who don't think DCI is very physically demanding: The top corps (such as this one) practice 12-16 hours a day, burning anywhere from 4000-10000 calories a day. There's a video called "DCI Musical Athletes" where they measure the oxygen consumption of a drummer.

  • One of my friends who marches Blue Devils told me that when they unload the truck or something that involves an assembly line, they sing the tuba part from 1:43 and pretend they are the guard XD

  • What some people don't realize about this specific activity is that when you are in the corp, you can't quit; it takes commitment and focus to do something like this. The judges don't care if you are hungry, tired, bored with a show, or if you have a stomach ache; this is your only priory during the season so make it look like it.

  • sport/spôrt/

    Noun:

    An activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others.

    This is the definition of sport. Drum Corps is the definition of sport.

  • If u dont think marching takes athleticism then your crazy...even at a high school level it requires physical strengths.

  • THIS ISN'T A SPORT! IF IT WAS A SPORT, IT WOULD BE EASY TO DO.

  • @NickRobo1994 have you even been in Marching band?!?

    Have you ever been outside Holding Attention for 10+ min in the pure heat?

    Have you even Marched a full show, in the heat while wearing the Uniform?

    Have you ever Guided, Memorized Spots, make sure your in a form, know the music, and Use Nothing but Lung Power to make a good sound while moving. Marching band is a lot harder than what your saying it is, It is both Mental and Physical.

    when you take 4+ seasons of marching then you can talk.

  • 6:23 Band nerd porn.

  • i get chills at 4:09 they killed the whole show!Amazing!!

  • fuckin poker is on espn...is that a sport? im not saying it isnt hard, but it is definitely not a sport.a sport takes athleticism..unless your in baseball or if your just really bad at it. fat people can be in drum corps but i bet they would get physically demolished if they were on a soccer field or basketball court which takes athleticsm.

  • @liveforeveroasis32 All I'm going to say to this is...Being fat isn't a deciding factor in athleticism. There are MANY fat guys who play football. So you might want to reword that. I've seen fat people do very demanding athletic activities, and be good at it. Weight isn't a deciding factor.

  • @pitousa13 lol i didnt say football. people can be fat and good at that cause theres a line and a purpose for them to be out there. im talking about basketball and soccer which you usually need athleticism in the highschool level to be good at. and what fat people are in the NBA? or in professional soccer? or the NHL? i havent seen any at all.

  • @liveforeveroasis32 Why yes, I have seen fat people in the NHL. Either way, unless you've done this, you have no room to talk. The change in people (physically) before and after drum corp, is ridiculous. MOST of these people...are NOT fat. The amount of physical effort, this takes, is not noticeable because they are trained to make it look smooth and easy. Not to mention the HOURS they work on this EVERY DAY ALL SUMMER LONG. To compare this to soccer and basketball is not the same.

  • @pitousa13 Thats SO TRUE!!!!

    my friend, was like 250 pounds before, and he is like super muscular now.

  • @pitousa13 to comapre this to soccer and basketball isnt the same? what about waking up and going on a 3 mile run at 6 am. or spending 8 hrs in the gym to get your jump shot just right. dont tell me that this compares to basketball. i spent countless hours of my summer in the gym working training. if you go by regular practices compared to marching band practices then yes, i respect that. one of my good friends plays the tuba in marching band. ik its hard. but to dedicated athletes

  • @liveforeveroasis32 it could be a different story. 

  • @liveforeveroasis32 hey. im just saying, weight doesnt decide anything. even if your fat, you can do alot more than some people (or try)

    and anyways, imma assume your a big-shot-jock or something. and thats what it seems. so u need to chil out and quit dissing

  • @liveforeveroasis32 what's your point?

  • @liveforeveroasis32 Hey. Marching band is harder than anything. you have to guide, memorize spots, go to a set part on the field, you have to know the music, AND have the lungs to do it all. some sports are a whole lot easier. so trust me, marching band IS AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SPORT.

    Just saying.

  • This was on ESPN. Id say itsa sport :)

  • what are the horns they used at 2:48?

  • @radioguy55 muted trumpet

  • Excelente me gusta mucho esta marching band es la mejor :)

  • the black guy would be doin the robot lmao 2:12

  • @JAYTEE2007 i know the story of how the robot got put into the show. my other friend told me. its actually kindof funny

  • Comment removed

  • okay...whoever disliked this is getting a punch in the face.

  • OMG ................

  • @cddrummer96 they just performed as a team in front of judges and live television for a competition, how the hell is that not a sport? these guys are some of the most athletic people out there, normal people can't do this shit

  • 0 dislikes for a reason..go watch a basketball video or some real sport and i guarantee there will be dislikes..but something incredible like this doesnt have any for a reason..dci is much better than any sport

  • How do you become a member?

  • @ljdcrazy13

    You audition :)

    Go to their website and it should give you the info.

  • This is such an amazing show. I love it! :)

  • 0 DISLIKES!? FUCK EVERYTHING!

  • Truely Innovative show...but not as musical as their 2002 show....

  • WHAT NOTE WAS THAT AT 3:02

  • @titolbc Concert F

  • I've dreamed of being in a drum corp ever since I went to my first show

  • @brackston211 my band director was the soloist trumpet who played all the high notes

  • @croatandrummer kevin shannon or michael gillespe?

  • My band teacher was one of the trumpet players in that

  • i need a full show

  • 3:21, coolest pit lick ever! Repetitive but holds some cool qualities.

  • where did those harmon mutes come from???

  • @stridegum1213 They had a little pouch strapped to their waists. you can see them reach the mutes at 3:29

  • This is one of my favorite Cavi shows! I'm thinking about going to try out for the front ensemble in a couple years :) Btw, if taylorwright44 sees this, please go back and count the amount of times you said any variation of "fag, pussy, virgin", or any other inflammatory language you used to make yourself look so stupid. You're argument is not in the least bit valid.

  • do u think u can add the full show

  • @direct4know1 I would have to find it first. I believe someone does have it posted. I'll check my laptop and if I have it I'll upload it, if not, I guess search Google or something.

  • AHAHAHA i just now noticed that the gaurdguy at 2:16 party boys after hitting the trumpet doing the robotXD

  • LOVE the flag work in this. Their timing is so insanely close.......

  • @Graceclaw The timing is close? Pfft... It's not even close.. Everything is perfectly on time!

  • damn.... 4:40 gives me chills.... so cool

  • oh and second, what we do isn't a sport, by any means. this is a physically demanding activity.. stop trying to call it a sport. it deserves just as much recognition as any sport, but it's not a sport.

  • @cddrummer96 Look up the definition of sport...then come back to me.

  • @pitousa13 i know what the definition of a sport is, an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature, but in todays culture, this shouldn't be considered a sport. i'm in marching band, i do well also, but no way in hell would i consider this a sport, because this is harder than any sport i have ever played. i've played football, basketball, baseball, and swam, and even this is harder than swimming. i hold myself to a higher standard here than in a sport

  • @cddrummer96 Even though I don't agree with you and I still say it's a sport, I like your answer. Well played sir. :)

  • @cddrummer96 could we say that this is an athletically challenging art form instead of a sport?

  • @cddrummer96 if this were easy, they'd call it football

  • @cddrummer96 Dude... It's a sport.

  • @cddrummer96 hey. its harder. so shut up. your just a stupid jock who has to memorize where to go in a strait line. we do alot more. so shut up, this is a sport

  • @cddrummer96 Difference? Different sports are accepting of a loss. Drum Corps however, every has to give 110%, and there is no second chance.

  • @pitousa13 you can call it a sport, i don't care. i never will call all of this a sport because it's different than a sport. a sport you play as a team, or solo, competitively. in drum corps, or marching band, you don't play as a team or perform as a team. you perform as a whole group and ensemble with 150 other people that you love. you can't say that about any other sport.

  • @pitousa13 "an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature"

    straight from dictionary. com

    Def it's a sport.

  • @cddrummer96 its more like an art

  • very very very god!!!!!

  • the beginning just really amazes me. so eerie and cool and idk shivers. they really are amazing. too bad im a girl id tottally try out for this band.

  • very good!!

    

  • Also, I wear 20 pound leg waits each day at school(40 total). I guess 30 pounds Might be hard for you out of shape faggots.

    Funrok- your dad was attempting to connect with his loser of a son. He is dissapointed that his son isn't a real man so pretended to give a shit. Truth is no one does outside of band nerds.

    The reason only skinny people are in this band, is it is select. They don't have to let girls or fat people in. Doesn't change the fact that your all fat out of shape virgins.

  • @taylorwright44

    Trolling levels are at critical sir!

  • @taylorwright44 see the people who think band is for nerds, are either A. mexican immigrants who know nothing about american culture or B. have no friends because in Indiana, every high school band is regarded just as high as football. No one makes fun of band. Drum Corps.. Hmm.. Drum Corps is about 572,193x harder than high school band. If you hate it so much, why are you looking it up on youtube?

  • You know what I find funny. Everyone I ever ask who is in band and another sport says that the other sport is harder. All these people coming in here "I've Wrestled the incredible hulk, but playing the drums was much harder" need to get their heads out of there ass.

    You know band fags number one reason why "band is a harder sport"?

    Same answer everytime "We have to perform in front of large crowds and play for long periods of time"

    Yeah, so does every real sport. Difference is your pussies.

  • @taylorwright44 Difference is that you're manslut.

  • @taylorwright44 first off, my friend, I marched with this Corps for one summer and it is NOT easy. There is NOTHING easy about it. All this has nothing to do with band. The Cavaliers are a DRUM CORPS. I suggest you get off YOUR ass and try marching with a drum corps and I even more strongly suggest that you shouldn't make any comments like this until you know a little more about it. You're indredibly ignorant.

  • Im only a freshman in highschool :( i want to be in DCI so bad when im older. its my dream

  • all u guys talking shilt on these guys dont have a clue what u talking about i like to c one of you carry a 50 pound plus instrument and run for 10 min straight with precise moves every time then try getting up every mornig at 4 am and practise all day in the hot sun till 4pm that longer than even football players practise so dont u dare talk shit on these guys they are probaly the best drum corp ever!

  • @Hardylover101

    Amen. And it isn't like most things where getting 90% of it right will get you an A. Let's have everyone miss 10%, or even 5% of their notes or step-offs and see if it still looks good. And ignant tardbabies still have the nerve to say it's easy.

  • @taylorwright44

    You know what, you're right, This activity is completely taskless, let's get some of your drunk ass football friends together and have them do this next week, we'll have you play the contra, oh, and Tom can play the trumpet. Try to show a little respect, I love football. But this kind of thing has changed my life. More then tackling other grown men ever could. I've tried both. So sir. . . Fuck off.

  • dont like cavaliers but i love his show

  • this is my favorite dci show

  • @taylorwright44 You are so ignant. I'm sorry sir.

  • @taylorwright44 dude if you dont like dci dont watch it....damn what the hell

  • @taylorwright44 How about you spend a summer with a drum corp? This isn't all it is. You should try living on their military type schedule. Granted it's not the MOST physically demanding sport out there, but it's more than this video shows. MUCH more. You should see before and after pictures of people who go off to drum corp.

  • @pitousa13 I agree with your comment. :) Its not as easy as they make it look.

  • @taylorwright44 one thing fuck you marching band is a sport and it is extremly difficult i love doing it and you can just shut up about it

  • @taylorwright44 you know, a lot of people who talk shit over the internet tend to be speaking about how they feel inside but don't realize it. Maybe you should take that into consideration before making a comment. Just because your behind a computer screen doesn't mean your the toughest man alive, for all we know you could be one of those fat out of shape people. So your a hypocrite for saying "Some pussy was talking shit over the internet" because that is exactly what YOU just did.

  • @taylorwright44

    Do you see any out of shape people in this show, scratch that, any drum corp??

    Yeah didn't think so. Get your shit straight dumbass. You go march with a 30 pound contra and play it for 15 minutes straight. Yeah not easy.

  • @taylorwright44 Trolling the internet is not a sport. Two, find something better to do.

  • @taylorwright44 ur retarted, kid. no, it's not a sport, but I guarentee that you wouldn't last a day doing what these guys have been doin for years... yeh, don't talk shit over the internet, kid. makes you look stupid, first off. second off, it's sad that you make a life out of talkin shit over the internet... grow a pair.

  • i watched this on espn,,,and,,while im not a hard core drum corps fan (yet), this performance is my bench mark!!!! its is outstanding!

  • im going to audition for the cavaliers in a couple of months. its going to be awsome if i make it!

  • This show ROCKS

  • I shat my pants at 3:03

  • This is so amazing. One of our marching band instructors was a part of the Cavaliers. He is awesome. Marching Band is a dying art, but some of the most amazing things I've ever seen are on the field. The football players just need to permanently get off our fields :)

  • true but the ones i know are like WTF is DCI :P

  • im 16 going on 17 and freaking love DCI and trust me not many teens will like this :P

  • @Sarge1122334455 Every teen I knew loved drum corp and couldn't wait to graduate high school to do it.

  • @Sarge1122334455 any teen that has an interest in marching bands will like DCI...

  • @Sarge1122334455

    you couldnt be more wrong 

  • @Sarge1122334455 how can you not like it? you must be blind and deaf.

  • @iamtupac1 also- this has gotta be the best visual performance ever.!!

  • @Sarge1122334455 im 15 and i love it

  • this is my fav colorguard after the blue devils!!! soooooo precises on everything!!! our instructor uses them to show us how exact we have to be.

  • Our school band is doing a show called iBand this year with inspiration from them :)

  • this should still be on ESPN. why not, when ESPN manages to find time for the spelling bee. i'm a talented speller and i love the bee, but let's face it. that's about as far from a sport as competitions get. if ESPN shows it, they should- and can- show this, no problem. but i suppose the reality is that DCI just can't afford it.

  • @wordgirl596 yea the probably can't. but i'm gunna have to say the world series of poker is about as far from as sport as you can get

  • they should have a channel devoted to music competition, like DCI and WGI

  • that epic trumpet def wrote my HS drill and is the visual caption head for my corps this summer

  • Love The Cavs River City Looks Up to yall check us out

  • I cant believe that ESPN2 has freaking bowling and billiards on, but wont show DCI anymore.

  • i love this DCI. the best i have ever seen. good drill :P

  • Proof that this is just as entertaining as sports:

    My dad who knows nothing about this art sees me watching this and says "wow this was on ESPN?" i told him to just watch. at the end he goes "why the hell is this not on any more? take F*%&#*$ golf or soccer off and show this!"

  • @funkrok2010 I absolutely love love LOVE this comment. :)

  • @funkrok2010 seriously thats true!!

  • @funkrok2010 omg if only they would

  • i wish they made a seperate finals dci dvd, that just had all the cavies shows from 2000-2010. (we know that it's gonna be an amazing show)...

  • the trumpet notes @ 3:03 sound great but kinda cheating

    cuz there using piccolo trumpets so the range wanted is easily achieved

  • I saw this show live in Mass. and it was seriously the best moment of my life.

  • That last little comment "minor weaknesses in percussion" pissed me off. Their battery was amazing that year!

  • love 4:50-4:58, 6:26-6:32, and all the rest ;)

  • YUM!

    A well oiled machine with superior engineering--a thing to be feared.

    Year after year I find it virtually impossible to name my favorite show. But one thing is for certain: These guys of my favorite corp.

  • 3:03 to 3:06 is probably the sexiest thing ever.

  • You are absolutely right!

  • @Th3pr0t0type  YES!!!!

  • I'm in the Kiski Area Marching Band...& everyoe LOVES The Cavaliers<333 :)

  • where did the harmons come from at 3:36?

  • I was at this show ! ohmygosh ! amazing!

  • how is their closer 8 minutes? doesn't the show have to be 10 to 12?

  • It's edited out.

  • so it was like 15 for the whole show live?

  • Nah, officially just over 11 minutes. Though they had a bit of a preshow marching on the field.

  • a few of the parts are cut out

    i dont know which parts but i think its the intro and something at the middle of the show

  • @BlackOnBlueSilver 1st and 3rd movements are cut

  • Go to MY page and i have the full show!!

  • lol the colorguard guy at 2:18

  • AAAAAAA MY FAVORITE DCI SHOW EVER!!!

  • I love them so much..... I'm on colorgaurd & I get my motivation from them... ( i'm Co-Capiton)

  • It's on piccolo trumpet...

  • i know, im still talking about just trumpet though...its do-able

  • Ah ok. True ha

  • honestly the most precise and challenging visuals i have ever seen, cavies are frickin amazing

  • Damn the are fuckin CRAZY!!! I tryed to get our band director to march that show, but we're to small...

  • the snare soloist is our student teacher for our band. (:

  • that guy at the end?

  • yeah. hes our student teacher. pretty cool. i was pretty shocked when i found out.

  • nathan?

  • yes sir. (:

  • haha he was my section leader last year at college!

  • oh what?! nice! haha. hes a cool guy. but when he talked to me sounded like he was high all the time. haha.

  • soo cool. i love their show!!!!

  • this is amazing.

    their guard is so precise.

    i wish my HS band could be like this haha.

    but i guess i cant be cuz we only have 82 people!

  • esta demasciado estraordinarioo!!! espectacular!!
