Steve Buscemi it really is a good show. The argument I mostly see for this show is 1)All of the Microphones used and 2)So much was jammed into 11 minuets
I also feel a bit bias because Bloo got me into DCI last year, but last year was amazing. I also recently watched TILT recently and I love that show too.
I'm a hardcore BD fan...but one thing I love about Bluecoats is how they use songs perfectly in their shows. Also, the white uniforms...good job expanding ideas. Can't wait for the season to start.
Ok, the bowler hats were pretty cool... Tbh I liked the main uniforms. But the more I watch the guard, the more I feel like they're trying to seduce the judges lol
I heard the soloist in the beginning, Malik, moved to the Blue Devils in 2018 along with Alan Hester and they were both soloists that year and when Malik aged out in ‘19
Easily best 5th place show this show. My personal favorite of the season. I personally wanted it to be 2nd but eh. I'll just keep this baby all to myself.
Hard to tell, since they're allowed to fake it with some kid on a sideline keyboard now. Who the hell knows what the actual brass and percussion sound like at all, really, with all the electronic "help" going on? 😑
Nope. I lost interest in drum corp drumming and got into Prog Metal and such. My friend recommended thank you scientist and I started with opening up their first album. I heard the first few chords and I started singing along even though I had only heard it first the first time. I thought “how do I know this??” Then my mind flipped and thought BLOO ‘17
Keep coming back to this show cause it is such a bop, but i will admit there were some really bad ticks during some of the shows like a trumpet stepping off a whole measure early.
This show is terribly underrated. It could not be DownsideUp, but still this was pretty good. Also, I would have this show above Crown’s that year. This show was cohesive compared to the 2nd half mess Crown’s was.
This was great and very catchy but the opening hit just could have been bigger in sound, especially in the low brass and the guard being spread out more would have helped with the general effect. The percussion was good but I feel like it covered up a lot of the brass in the first hit; it was still a good show though.
The stage was integrated into the show very, well, the guard could have been placed in the drill to give a better visual, it seemed they were dodging the percussion pit, and this part of the show would have been much better if the colors were spread over the field. When watching the full show, this was repeated in the drill design several times better use of the color guard, they did a great job just not integrated well in the show.
Imagine the prop breaks and the people fall through and they still march and when they are supposed to walk out of the prop they break the props walls while marching out
Prolly the best show in history. My favorites from Bloo: #1) Jagged Line (2017) #2) Tilt (2014) #3) Garden of Love (2023) ‘24 I saw in person, and it was kinda mid. I mean, their uniforms were like this: Marchers: those little red-striped mints Drum Majors: wint-o’-green Lifesavers Guard: banana Runts. It was actually kinda funny. Their theme was strange, though. There really was no “story” I guess. My high schools’ band has a better theme. “Unmasked”. A high schools’ band’s theme. Is better. Than a drum corps. We also have cooler uniforms. (Might be biased tho. Bloo is one of my favorite corps, so it’s hard to top in my head, but like… that was the best you could do, Bloo?) We also become a masquerade mask, which is pretty badass. We wear masks too. I’m so excited.
If you're gonna like that in Drum Corps. Lets be real. You shouldn't be in Drum Corps. No matter the show. They have much more discipline than that. Set position watches the major, not other things.
@@ricky.beats. That's not necessarily true. Drum corps kids care about the performance above ALL ELSE, but these are young adults that live 3 months of their lives in close proximity to each other while being mostly naked
It's great how hard the kids work and the dedication it takes from the staff and students to put out these great performances. However, maybe it's just me but it's seems like DCI and BOA have been going for awhile now to this kind of visual concept above all else. It seems like more of the shows are geared toward dancing and ballet moves from the horn players. Mix in electronics and non traditional uniforms and it is almost like a completely different activity. I was never in drum corps but my high school band program was fortunate enough to be in grand national finals every year, I marched 1996-99 and I remember a lot of innovative shows but the music and marching was still the center of everything. I have not been to DCI finals since 1999, but I remember it being amazing productions but with music and marching at the center of everything. Am I way off here ???
I didn’t really care for this show in all honesty. The music and choreography were ok, but the trombone solo during one of the movements was really sloppy in my opinion. 💀
