Awesome Military Drumline: Top Secret Drum Corps (2012)

submitted by mintbbb

1 decade 1 year 9 months ago

YouTube Description:

Top Secret Drum Corps is a precision drum corps based in Basel, Switzerland. With 25 drummers and colorguard members, the corps became famous for its demanding six-minute routine performed at the Edinburgh Tattoo in 2003. With its invitation to Edinburgh, Top Secret became one of the first non-military, non-British Commonwealth acts to perform on the Esplanade at Edinburgh Castle.Since its success in 2003, Top Secret was invited to return to Edinburgh in 2006 with a new and improved routine. They were invited a third time in 2009 and again in 2012. Under the leadership of Erik Julliard, the band is also responsible for the founding of the Basel Tattoo, a military tattoo show similar to the Edinburgh Military Tattoo, now held annually in Basel.

Loved it! Though, I'm a little curious as to why there is source-code projected on the wall O_o

The code validates their id_rsa file.

The benefits of neutrality.

Always a highlight of the Tattoo

Finale was the bomb!

Wondering how this relates to "the digital age", it occurred to me the aesthetic reminds me of Anonymous. The whole dark look, unified front, lack of individuality. Is that what they were going for?

It's tempting to go off on a diatribe about the current trend towards total anonymity - abdication of individuality - in defense of personal liberties, but digressions should know their bounds.

Me too. It's top secret, apparently.

While it was a good show, I prefer having a whole band. They're great players, drum core by itself seems to rely too much on tricks.

I feel like I can interpret every choreographed move and beat into a message of nostalgic, wistful, yet prophetic insight into the slow digitization of our souls.

That or I'm too stoned.

Best drumline video ever has been added as a related post - related requested by eric3579 on that post.
