I linked to this video and quoted its description in Marching music for the Michigan Primary — Legends, U of M, MSU, Rockford, and DeWitt.
Unused video for Year of the Dragon post
Feb. 10th, 2024 02:43 pmI found a video with better quality for 'The Year of the Dragon' from The Cadets and Sacramento Mandarins for a drum corps Lunar New Year.

I replaced this video at the last minute in Marching music for the 2024 South Carolina Primary — Carolina Crown, South Carolina, Clemson, and South Carolina State.
I decided the second video in this series fit the theme of Marching music for the 2024 South Carolina Primary — Carolina Crown, South Carolina, Clemson, and South Carolina State better.
I was originally going to feature this video, then watched it and decided one of the suggested videos was better, so I used it in DCI's '5 summertime hits sure to put you in the holiday mood' for a merry drum corps Christmas instead. Behold the power of the YouTube algorithm!
A video I influenced
Dec. 7th, 2023 09:02 amThe preview image for Video tributes to George Zingali for his birthday on World AIDS Day is part of the preview image for this video.
Discarded image for World AIDS Day post
Dec. 1st, 2023 02:37 pmI created this image for Video tributes to George Zingali for his birthday on World AIDS Day, then replaced it with one that had George Zingali's birth and death dates instead of the World AIDS Day red ribbon.


Two of my fandoms collide, again
Nov. 12th, 2023 01:22 pmI wrote "I've been waiting all century to hear the music from Princess Mononoke on a football field" in Studio Ghibli film music show. My first opportunity was in 2004, but only saw it yesterday. It's probably because it was uploaded in 2016, after I had stopped looking for the show on YouTube. Watching the show in November 8th's post made me search for it again.

A superhero drum corps show in disguise
Aug. 8th, 2023 09:33 amThe show begins with music from "Man of Steel" and includes music from "Batman Begins."
Deleted video for 4th of July post
Jul. 4th, 2023 01:58 pmI decided that Celebrate the 4th of July with marching music, drinks, and fireworks didn't need Legends represents in Detroit with National Anthem, which Drum Corps International posted last year.
Legends Drum & Bugle Corps of Kalamazoo, Michigan, sent a small ensemble of corps members to perform the National Anthem as part of the 2022 DCI Tour Premiere, June 28, at Detroit's Ford Field.
Music at the intersection of two fandoms
Apr. 20th, 2023 08:39 amThis is probably the most played music from Final Fantasy, if not all video games, by drum corps.
Discarded video for Ides of March post
Mar. 15th, 2023 10:01 amI decided this video was too much of a duplication of the video I used in 2016 Cadets 'Awakening' for a drum corps Ides of March.
I thought about using this video for today's marching music day post, but went with Which year did Madison Scouts perform 'Rhapsody in Blue' best plus the 2023 Rose Parade bands for Marching Music Day instead.
Another drum corps video I posted to MeWe
Feb. 25th, 2023 02:13 pmThis corps was the local rival to the first corps I marched in, the Anaheim Kingsmen. The Velvet Knights were from Buena Park at the time, which borders Anaheim to the northwest. The rivalry even extended to our associated theme parks. The Kingsmen were sponsored by Disneyland (one of our nicknames was "The Magic Kingsmen") while I heard that VK worked with Knott's Berry Farm.
The first drum corps I marched in
Feb. 19th, 2023 03:24 pmI shared this video on MeWe and wrote "I marched in this corps and I think I'm in the preview image -- baritone on the far left."
...until I searched for Christmas at DCI's YouTube channel after selecting the videos for A merry drum corps Christmas from March or Die and DCI.
A video made to mourn SCV going inactive
Dec. 17th, 2022 05:05 pmBut what most interests me is that my ex-girlfriend is in this video during the first 40 seconds.
