Seeing this live was even better than on tape. Truly one of the rare shows where all of the parts click just right.

A Jim Ott hornline being drowned out by a bonkers crowd. The best shit I've ever been apart of.

That last minute makes weep with joy every time.

The low brass over blew a little. The mellos were CRAZY good as usual............:)

I look at a lot of drum corps in the past and I feel like they were way more impressive than todays...the formations, audience approval and all.

I experienced the 03 season as a roadie.. I was at finals... forget scores ..spin cycle should have won.. phantom was the crowd pleaser with harmonic journey.. I heard the shows many nights that summer.. cavs altos were beast that year .. and yeah in my opinion electronics is something ya gotta tread lightly with.. voice narration or singing should be judged honestly for the cheesy effect it is so it will stop being over done.. the shows after early 2000s just really got outta hand trying to outdo each other technically

The crowd is cheering so loud you can’t even hear the hornline anymore. That’s how you know a show is good.

I love Reflections of Earth so much!!!

Best two minutes in the history of the activity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Micah Lall-Trail no dummy half time march, meaning a slow march. I'm in marching band and a slow march is called half time not the same as a football game Halftime

The crowd is screamed so damn loud at the end

@@TheRailwayDrone I didn’t imply they were bad, did I? They (high brass) were out of tune, and the only reason they won was politics and the fact they unveiled the Bb horn that year. Can’t have G’s beating the Bb in 2000. Prior to 2000, Cadets hadn’t won an Ott trophy since 87, they were 3rd in 99, and I believe 3rd in 01, so 2000 things click and they got the crowd favorite show and all of sudden the brass is better? Please. Are we done yet?

Sounded more like an old G bugle line than Bb. Loved it!!!

Goes to show its not necessarily the horns that created the iconic classic sound of old Bugle lines, but the writing and the players are what created that sound.

How come there are no over weight corp members? discriminate against that or do they lose all that wait in the season?

Easily the least-deserved Cadets victory of all time. Huge visual tears at the end, and horrible intonation and over-blowing for the last 2 minutes. I was in the stands, and the brass really did sound as bad as this video makes it seem.

What you guys need to understand about this year is that this is the first season Cadets had a full line of Bb. I was marching that season in another finalist corps. It seemed Gino and the Cadets had only one goal in 2000: to prove that Bb brass was as loud as G. This was a time of great upheaval in DCI as the top corps finally secured permission to take their brass lines to Bb. Gino and the Cadets proved that Bb could be as loud as G, but at the expense of intonation and precision. The first season BD had Bb instruments was the first time I ever heard BD play out of tune as well. I really think it was the G to Bb adjustment that caused this lack of clarity for these teams.

Absolutely FALSE. I was in the hornline that year and that was NOT our goal. Gino's goal was primarily to teach great brass sound, discipline as well to show the value of Bbs. Our finals performance was just not the best night. Simple as that.
