As someone who seems to have started my dci journey at the same time, this video brought tears to my eyes. I know there are other, possibly greater, ballads out there, but the 10 in this video all have had such a big emotional impact on me and so many others! Thank you for posting!

Very good post we all have our favorites and may put them in different orders.Its fun to watch what other people think and going back in time with the beautiful ballad's. For me id call a tie between Blue Devils 2017 and Santa Clara Vanguard 2018 as #1 . Interesting ballads are for suttle low key showing off your brass. Blue Devils in 2017 showed off the whole Corp with that powerful Ballad. Santa Clara Vanguard did just about same thing In 2018 especially with that powerful hornline at the end with the great solo

it’s kind of interesting how much classical music shows up in marching band. The first entry here was rach 2 lol Note: rach 2 has one of the best 2nd movements I’ve ever heard so I’m not surprised it’s on this list, even with different instrumentation.

In terms of why jazz music isn't AS popular (since it still shows up a decent amount) is because a majority of jazz music straight up doesn't work for drum corps. I'd say at least 95% of jazz in DCI is inspired by Big Band, with less than 5% (if that) being combo-style jazz (which itself makes a majority of jazz music). This doesn't even touch the fact that the #1 most important part of jazz is improvisation, which is basically absent from drum corps music, making drum corps basically the antithesis of jazz music. (This also isn't a condemnation of big band or jazz representation in corps, I play in a few big bands and write mostly big band music, and love seeing it in DCI)

i don’t think people in the comments realize this isn’t a general top 10 ballads, it’s a top 10 based on personal liking, so maybe the poster just hasn’t seen any shows from earlier DCI

@@twalters2962 you have to make sure the third valve slide is well lubricated. Push out the third valve when holding your instrument in down position. Then when you snap up the horn to playing position you have to pull the valve slide in very fast. Thats what makes the noise. If you do it right its pretty loud :)
