Umm, the Madison Screamers

I'd say 83 Scouts with Strawberry Soup. That sop takes squealling to new
heights. Literally.

How about Madison '80? Gives me a hernia just listening to it.

The highest note in Scouts history was '86 in Harlem Suite. This was the
SAME note as 82 Cadets, and higher than BD '91 by a half step. (I haven't
heard anything higher than that out of BD, though).
I've heard that the highest in DCI didn't make finals... Florida Wave '89.
I'd love to hear a recording of it to confirm. Supposedly a triple A, which
would be the same in pitch as the note Arturo Sandoval plays at the end of A
Mis Abuelos. (It's up there, I tell ya!)
BTW, if you want to know how I know this... I've been blessed with perfect
pitch, I'm not just pulling it out of my ass. ;-)
Later,
Kent

'80? Which part of the show? That's one of my favorite shows, but it really
didn't come close to the highest notes...

I played the highest note in drumcorps history back in 92. Course....No one
heard it cuz it was so friggen high.

I thought the rumor held 1983(?) Madison Scouts, Strawberry Soup sop
soloist hit the highest note in DCI history. Or was it '83 Cavies Pines
of Rome sop solo?...

Hey Kent.... I won't dispute with someone who has perfect pitch, but
have you heard the sop note on 1983 Cavaliers in "Celebration Suite"??
(It's at 3:53 on the CD counter.) Maybe that just seems higher to me
because it's up on the 5th of the chord.

Thanks, man. My dog lost his hearing because of you! ;^)
Seriously, fun thread.
How high was the scream at the beginning of BD's La Fiesta in 1984? If
it wasn't the highest, it might have been the highest/loudest combined!

I love the tension with the underlying formatta tenor roll!!!
'86 was even higher than 1979's Bohemian Rhapsody?
...Blessed with really slow hands and crappy pitch...

How about 1980 Northstar, just as the opening fanfare ends, and before
El Gato Triste, The Soloist hits this note that has to be one of the
highest ever. Can anyone else vouch for this?
Also, Chezman a.k.a. "Goober" has hit some pretty high ones in the
Garfield Cadets, back in the early 80's. The beginning of Concerto in
"F" comes to mind.

When Scouts played Bohemian Rapshody (78 I think) they played some
monster notes, and they weren't thin and weedy, they were so loud they
took your fillings out......

shorty,
you tell em.
the best thing about SKEETERS double F was , he had to squeeze down to
the double C to begin his solo --- the 5th to the 1--
I believe SKEETER is still in drum corps marchimg in the BUSHWACKERS .
short stuff ,
let me know if you are going to ALLENTOWN or the MEADOWLANDS shows.
take care

I'm a drummer, so I have no idea what note is was. A triple G? What's
that?

I have no idea... but someplace in the BD 80 show, I belive... not sure
gonna check shortly, you can hear the sop screaming in the solo... then a
3 count break the faintly on the recording his qoute of " Holy Jesus" I
guess he actually suprised himself on it.
I really have no idea if that was the highest note ever recorded, but it
was fairly entertaining..

I can't believe I forgot this, especially since it was so recent(Houston
show this year), but the dude in Bayou City Blues hit some of the
highest notes I've *ever* heard.

In my younger day's somone once asked me ,
HOW HIGH CAN YOU PLAY ?
I answered
I can play when I am pretty high, but usually not as well.

To keep me from bolting back inside the H.S. to join the ensemble
rehearsal w/ Petah' Phyllis et.al, the entire snare line sat on top of me
in the back of the Funliner when ' we' highjacked the bus.
Although I still LOL when I hear "Hey kids, look, Big Ben; Parliment!" it
was a bad movie, we tied SCV in drums that night @ Stillwater and I didn't
get any pizza.

I am pretty sure it is 1986 scouts with HArlem Suite. I beleive the note is a
F above double C. Or a concert C.

It was an E above double C, the same note as hit by Travis Gould at the
end of BD 97's opener.

try Madison 74, end of third tune.
Robert Rohrbaugh
In one of my favorite shows, during a short song after the opener in
'75, the phenomenal soprano soloist in Madison plays an increasing frequency
"chirp" at the end of the song on a picolo soprano. The stands erupted
into applause every time. Why can't there more neat stuff like this
instead of the tired, listless shit that is put on the field nowadays?

Robert Rohrbaugh
Whoops! It was '74 Madison that has the ultra high frequency soprano
chirp at the end of the feature. If you have access to a recording,
check it out.

Yep, Skeeter's marching with Bush. In fact, he asked me to print out this
thread so he could check up on what his old pals are saying about him.
If you want to see Skeeter in action- come down to DCAs and check out the
soprano octet in the closer...
