In 1980, Dorrite himself produced the classic State Of The Art, utilizing the latest studio recording techniques to give us the best sounding drum corps album to date. In 1993, Drum Corps International convinced a number of corps to submit performances of various holiday charts for a Christmas CD like no other, Ornaments In Brass.

Per Drum Corps Museum, the Kilties first performed Auld Lang Syne in 1960, appropriately as their closer. The corps would end their shows with Syne 18 times during their junior corps existence, which came to an end in 1982. When the corps returned to the field a decade later as an alumni corps, Auld Lang Syne did so as well.

There was a time when some corps had a song which they would pull out of their hat to finish their shows with. For the 27th Lancers, it was Danny Boy. For the Santa Clara Vanguard, it was Fiddler on the Roof’s Bottle Dance. With the Racine Kilties, their show stopping closer was Auld Lang Syne, a song which the corps used over 30 times throughout it’s history as both a junior and all-age corps. With Syne’s ties to Scotland, it was fitting that the Kilties, who exuded Scot culture in a distinctly American activity, would end many of their shows with this song.
Auld Lang Syne comes from a Scottish ballad, “Old Long Syne”, printed in 1711 by James Watson, and later collected and submitted to the Scots Musical Museum by poet Robert Burns in 1788. In 1799, the poem was then set to a traditional tune which is now the standard melody we know (Auld Lang Syne. (2005). In Wikipedia. Retrieved December 26, 2023, from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auld_Lang_Syne). I’m a little disappointed that nobody has added anything regarding the Kilities and their use of Auld Lang Syne throughout their history to the Wikipedia article I cited. Looks like I’ll have to sign up for an account and make some necessary edits.

The corps would end their shows with Syne 18 times during their junior corps existence, which came to an end in 1982. When the corps returned to the field a decade later as an alumni corps, Auld Lang Syne did so as well. That alumni appearance in Madison served as a springboard to return the Kilties to the field as a competitive corps, this time in the all-age DCA world. Ironically, after another 11 shows closing with Auld Lang Syne, the Kilties would achieve their best DCA placement, 9th, in 2011, playing Syne as their opener, the only time the corps would perform the song anywhere in their show besides the finale.
The arrangement was almost always the same, starting slow and reverent, sometimes playing backfield. After building in volume at the end of the melody, a percussion break would allow the corps to form up for re-entry, as a soprano duet would play a traditional Scottish fanfare. The full corps would then push forward at full volume and tempo, reprising the melody. A quartet of soprano soloists would then outdo each other on the musical scale before a final thunderous chord finished the song and the show. With the field judges no longer marking ticks during this final portion of the show, it was all about entertainment and effect, and the Kilties made the most of it every time Auld Lang Syne rang out from their instruments.

The front ensemble led off with a brief quote of Christmas Time Is Here from A Charlie Brown Christmas before the horns began playing Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas. This was another true Bluecoats ballad in a long tradition of them, complete with a gorgeous soprano solo in the middle of the song, leading into the final impact of the show.

12 Corps Of Christmas – 1996 Bluecoats (Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas/Auld Lang Syne)
1996 is a tough year for me from a drum corps standpoint. For my age out season with the Glassmen, we went from our best season to date and an 8th place finish to seeing us drop down to 13th place and my junior corps career ending one day early at Semifinals. Ironically, I had started my drum corps career in 1992 by also finishing 13th, so it was an interesting bookend for my five years on the DCI field.

1996 is a tough year for me from a drum corps standpoint. For my age out season with the Glassmen, we went from our best season to date and an 8th place finish to seeing us drop down to 13th place and my junior corps career ending one day early at Semifinals. Ironically, I had started my drum corps career in 1992 by also finishing 13th, so it was an interesting bookend for my five years on the DCI field. I also was blessed to meet to great friends who were marching in the Bluecoats in 1996, Dave Edgar and Elle Lignoski, and, with our two corps spending a decent amount of time together on tour, I got to see them quite a few times. I even have a great photo of Elle and I in our respective corps uniforms at Semifinals night, my last photo in a Glassmen uniform and a great memory from an otherwise weird season.
Unlike the Glassmen and I, the Bluecoats repeated their best finish to date, finishing in 7th with their show American Celebrations. The show was also the second straight year the corps performed a show with a patriotic focus after their Homefront: 1945 show. American Celebrations looked at various holidays which Americans celebrate. The show opened with a countdown into the new year and the corps playing Auld Lang Syne as an intro before going into the return of My Funny Valentine, last performed in 1989. Where as the 89 version was straight up ballad, this version was full of energy and drive. Memorial Day came next, with the sounds of Taps and a lone guard member holding a tri-folded American flag, in a sense a memorial of the previous season.
Bloo went full patriotic for the next holiday, the 4th of July, featuring Yankee Doodle Dandy after a brief intro from Strike Up The Band, and then went industrial for Labor Day, with metallic sounds from the pit and, in what may be the most interesting use of sanitation equipment outside of Stomp, guard members playing garbage can lids like they were marching cymbals.
Then came the section of the show which puts the ’96 Bluecoats on this list, a celebration of Christmas. The front ensemble led off with a brief quote of Christmas Time Is Here from A Charlie Brown Christmas before the horns began playing Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas. This was another true Bluecoats ballad in a long tradition of them, complete with a gorgeous soprano solo in the middle of the song, leading into the final impact of the show. The soloist finished the song as the corps ran into a tight circular formation. With the contrabasses providing a great bass line, the corps sang the chorus of Auld Lang Syne, bringing the show full circle and ending the show with the hope that a new year brings to all of us every New Year’s Eve.

The show runs the gamut of emotions from the wonder of What’s This to the mischief of Kidnap the Sandy Claws, as well as the spooky anticipation of Making Christmas and the sadness of Sally’s Lament. The closer brought it all home in reprise format and the big finish which drum corps excels at.

I need to take a moment and apologize to the all-age drum corps community. Up to this point, I have not featured any DCA performances. There’s a few reasons for this, mainly that there aren’t many videos of DCA corps performing Christmas or wintery music that I can use without worrying about the video getting taken down from YouTube at some point. Another reason is that there hasn’t been a lot of DCA shows I can think of which have these themes as part of their show. Fortunately, there is one show which I’ve found that I actually hadn’t seen until recently, the 1994 Bushwackers and their performance of The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Both Bushwackers and the Velvet Knights used music from Nightmare for their 1994 program, which is a quick turnaround considering that the movie and soundtrack were released in October of 1993. VK chose to focus more on the dreamscape side of things with their use of music from the movie, plus Bush made their whole show focus on the music and themes of Nightmare Before Christmas, so I only include Bushwackers for my Christmas corps list.
Image from https://bushwackersdc.org.The Bushwackers were the two time defending DCA world champions in 1994 and had won all six of their DCA titles (1986, 1988-1990, 1992-1993) over the past 8 years. A recent powerhouse corps, founded just a few years before winning their first title, the Bushwackers had also made a name for themselves with their highly theatrical show themes, such as their previous two championship shows, Sweeney Todd and Sunday in the Park with George. While they departed from Steven Sondheim, the music of Danny Elfman proved to be just as effective and eclectic for the corps.
Two things stand out from the very start of the show. First is the percussion, both in terms of their performance, which was one tenth short of winning the percussion trophy, and in terms of their design, which had the field percussionists opening the show on stages set on the field, performing on various concert percussion instruments during What’s This. The other is the color guard, dressed in patch covered black, evoking the dress worn by Sally, with faces painted as if they were themselves residents of Halloween Town

The closer brought it all home in reprise format and the big finish which drum corps excels at. Just like our yearly tradition of watching Nightmare Before Christmas as part of our Christmas holiday viewing, I recommend giving the 94 Bushwackers a watch and/or listen for Christmas time as well. Jack Skellington would approve.

The show itself is amusing and entertaining, as are the various characteristics I mentioned earlier. What we’re given by the Vanguard with Not the Nutcracker is a gift that is unlike everything else under the tree, one which we may not appreciate at first but learn to love over time, eventually finding ourselves revisiting the show over the years and finding something new to enjoy each time. Those are the best gifts to get.

The Guardsmen approached Greensleeves with great reverence, starting the song quietly, usually facing backfield or to the side, building the intensity of the music throughout the entire chart until they reached their full powerful volume. The corps also performed Greensleeves at a stately slow tempo, taking their time to ensure that build of power achieved its full impact at the end.

It turns out that the 2012 Cadets show has become a yearly Christmas tradition for a lot of us, mainly because the corps approached the theme with the same level of reverence that they did with their 2011 show. Opening with Carol Of The Bells, the corps goes full Cadet mode with a fast paced Jeff Sacktig drill which would make Santa’s reindeer tired.

If you ask fans of Carolina Crown when the corps’ rise to become one of the perennial competitors for the DCI World Championship, a good number of them would point to the 2003 season. After dropping out of finals the season before, Crown made a number of changes, not the least of which was the addition of Matt Harloff as brass caption head, a position he still holds as of this article.

1986 was a tough year for the Phantom Regiment. After a string of successful seasons, including multiple title contention years, the corps found itself in 10th place with an “old school” show that, while popular with fans, didn’t speak to the judges. It was time for a refresh, a way for the Regiment to retain their identity while bringing something new to the table. Songs For The Winter Palace did exactly that.
