2014 Carolina Crown – Out Of This World
One of my Bluesky friends posted lyrics from Major Tom on my feed to celebrate the successful return of Artemis II from its mission around the moon. This reminded me of when Carolina Crown performed this song as part of their 2014 production, Out of This World.https://medi-nerd.com/2026/04/10/2014-carolina-crown-out-of-this-world/

Throwback Thursday – 2025 Santa Clara Vanguard
Once again, FloMarching comes through with an excellent Throwback Thursday video from last year's DCI World Championships. This time, it's the Santa Clara Vanguard and the closing section of their production, The aVANt GUARD. This show also marked the return of SCV to the Top 3 of DCI since 2019.https://medi-nerd.com/2026/03/19/throwback-thursday-2025-santa-clara-vanguard/

Throwback Thursday: 2025 Phantom Regiment
FloMarching threw up a clip from last season's Phantom Regiment performance for their Throwback Thursday, so I figured I'd go with the theme and post the photos I took of the corps last season.https://medi-nerd.com/2026/03/12/throwback-thursday-2025-phantom-regiment/

We have an early Christmas present from Santa Clara Vanguard and Paul & Sandi Rennick as they've dropped the percussion only full run of their 2025 program, "The aVANt GUARD".

VIDEO – Carolina Crown 2025: ‘The Point of No Return’ DCI World Championship Finals (CrownMedia Multicam)
https://youtu.be/iOE3Vlg3GS8?si=KEYTldf7UhMpOwWy
Carolina Crown dropped their official video of their 2025 program, The Point of No Return, on their YouTube channel on Sunday. Unlike most other show releases from other corps, Crown’s own media team put together their own multi-camera edition of the corps’ DCI Finals performance, doing an incredible job in the process.

Throwback Thursday – 2025 DCI World Championship Finals Retreat
https://youtu.be/2QgErDimmz8?si=Ucs_6yWsp68aG5TM
Yesterday, WFYI, the Indianapolis public television station, released a video from their Across Indiana series covering the Drum Corps International World Championships which recently took place there. The focus was mainly on Carolina Crown, though it also featured interviews with DCI CEO Nate Boudreaux and other drum corps performers. It was a great reminder of how wonderful the 2025 season was and how much I’m already looking forward to […]

In the words of Tom Acheson: Yo, man. It’s Nats. As per Internet tradition, here are photos of me performing in drum corps as we approach DCI World Championships this weekend.

Second, a close-up of me performing with the 2015 Jim Ott Brass Ensemble at the SoundSport International Food and Music Festival in Indianapolis, Indiana. Unfortunately, I don’t have an actual […]

12 Corps Of Christmas – 2012 Cadets
If you were a fan of drum corps when the Cadets announced they were doing a Christmas show, I'm betting you were skeptical about whether 12.25 would be too cheesy and/or whether the show would be a worthy follow-up to their 2011 championship show, Between Angels And Demons. I know I was one of those. After all, Christmas music in the summer? The only time I've cared about Christmas in July was when Great Lakes Brewing tapped their Christmas Ale each summer. Would 12.25 be just as gimmicky as […]https://medi-nerd.com/2022/12/26/12-corps-of-christmas-2012-cadets/
