neonvincentDrum Corps International (DCI) uploaded the following video, which I have a personal connection to because I marched in the 1978 Kingsmen and I know some of the people marching in it.
I have a couple of comments on the music. All of it is from Berlioz's "Symphonie Fantastique" but it includes "Dream of a Witch's Sabbath" as well as "March to the Scaffold." In addition, the video cuts out the percussion break, which was an arrangement of "Tubular Bells" from "The Exorcist." I suspect DCI couldn't get the synchronization rights, but it could simply be editing out what they consider to have been an irrelevant selection.
