I was sitting here for a solid 5 minutes before I realized this is a NEW VIDEO! The old 2014 one had a long needed update ahead of it! It's great to see how each ensemble reacts to being the best of the best :)))

11:53....not only did a 10 year old get a ring, the color guard captain aged out that night. Olivia Hansen basically grew up in the BD org...twirler in 2001, C corps 02-07, open guard 08 B corps 09-10, A corps 11-15. FIVE rings (3 A corps, 2 B corps). 4 of those seasons undefeated (2 A corps, 2 B). An amazing career.

Is she related to 80's BD Guard Captain Laurel Hansen? If so, what a legacy. Another family that I am sure you know is the Doebler family and girls. (may her mom and dad RIP, her mom was an angel). I believe Beth's daughter is marching in BDA's guard this year! I have one more question, Did you march with Greg Hamilton? He marched BDA (soprano I think, but could be wrong) and his sisters were both twirlers with one (Lori) being in BDB for a year or two in the 70's or 80's.

@@milescumminski8077 Y'know...I've never thought to ask Laurel (we aged out together in 84). Then again, Hansen isn't exactly an uncommon name. Side note...the bari soloist in 83 BD for "One More Time, Chuck Corea" was Tony Signorelli...we probably ARE distantly related. Finally met him in person at DCA in 06 when hew was with Renegades and I was with SoCal Dream. As for Greg Hamilton...no. I only had one year in BD, and there were no Hamiltons in the corps in 84, at least not in the A corps.

@@samsignorelli OK, Thanks for the reply. I was just informed by his sister that Greg marched baritone in 75, 76 and 77. He is a bit older than I thought.

1988 - one of the best nights of my life. Such a thrill to beat my idols, my gods, and the greatest and classiest drum corps in the activity. 1989 - such a thrill to pass in review and salute them as champions. Two sensational years.

Happy 50 years DCI! Proud to have been on the field for 5 of these ceremonies!

I don’t care what anyone says. Babylon from SCV was and still is my favorite DCI show. It’ll be tough for anyone, even the Blue Devils, to top it.

Not score-wise though

I love seeing all the corps that have gotten first over the years, and seeing the reactions of all the members when they find out that they won

Stood on the field in 1980 with the Spirit of Atlanta. The championship could have gone to any of the top 4 corps. A tie with the Bridgemen for high percussion and a second place in horns to the Blue Devils. What memories.

You cannot tell me that Spartacus was not the most popular first place. The crowd itself shows

@@milescumminski8077 Technically I’ve never been to finals. My first proper “finals” was this past show at Indy.

This is pretty awesome. Great job to all in Drum Corps for providing amazing entertainment for the first 50 years of my life!!!! Going back to the Renegades, Princemen and 27th Lancers!

Amazing how the quality of the video improved over the years. Digital cameras where first marketed to the public in the early nineties. We've come a long way...

So proud to be a part of this, great video!

My goodness. Blue devils, holy cow their so freaking awesome

You could sure see the change over the years at the presentation level.

Why did the 1999 Vanguard look disappointed when they tied the Blue Devils for first place? It also sounds like the crowd booed… 5:40

years later...it still pains me to say that crown was robbed in 2012 and 2015

Go back and watch BD 2012, objectively. Not as a fan or with any negative feeling towards BD. Watch the effect, the visual and specifically watch the guard and the percussion. It's not even close when it comes to cleanliness. Cabaret Voltaire changed what a lot of corps do now. Bluecoats, Crown, SCV, Boston, Blue Stars, etc...do very similar shows to that incredible 2012 show. Crown sounded better but their content was lower so their achievement was higher. I'm not a fan of either and enjoy like anyone else when BD goes down. But that year, no f#&$*#^ way. They were a class above everyone!

I am very saddened that in this 50th Anniversary year of DCI, there is no acknowledgement of respect nor any story regarding the Canadian Oakland Crusaders Drumline of 1977! At DCI prelims, Oakland took top drums by a wide margin and yet the corps never made it to the DCI Finals show as they placed out of the top 12. Furthermore, the top drumline at finals did not top Oakland's prelim score! This is the only drumline in the annals of DCI history to win a caption award and yet not advance to the night show. This achievement demands respect and to not have a video of a few minutes devoted to discussing this accomplishment is a damn disgrace and a serious oversight by DCI! Shame!
