Bloo22 Keytar Soloist, Ryan Jacobs 

Man absolutely SHREDS on the Keytar, all we need now is a wink during finals…

Man, did this kid nail the feeling that show wanted. I don't care if people think keytars don't belong in drum corps...this one, and those solos DID.

Awesome man!!! Totally feeling the Chick Corea vibes + Snarky!! Feeling some Djesse influence coming off this dude too ;). Got to meet & vibe w Ryan on the front row at the Jacob Collier show in KC right before spring training. LOVE this show so much!!! Blooooo!!

that dude is amazing

This was an amazing solo. The amount of fun you showed while playing this crazy instrument. I wish is was just a few years younger to try to follow your lead.

I was at the DCI finals ‘22 and the emotion on his face was amazing and the solo was the best solo I’ve ever heard it was so surreal

This dude is my icon now, absolutely KILLING it on the field

Got the chance to meet this guy in-person, he’s so chill and honestly a great guy

My dude is the coolest guy on the field every single time, insanity

give us keytar cam

He’s going to remember that for the rest of his life. Awesome, absolutely awesome.

Maybe my favorite moment ever in drum corps! Aged out in 2002 and been watching long before that. Where the activity has come from and gone to leading to this feature is a wow! Such an incredible and talented performer. BLOOOOO 2022!!!!

This will go down as one of the most iconic solos in DCI history. Hand down. I was FLOORED by its inclusion and your execution. Just phenomenal!

was watching this show at band camp with a few others and one of our dms came up to us and told us he went to our school, cool to see him doing such an awesome solo

Never noticed the lingus parallel until it was pointed out, like how at the end of the song there’s sort of a duel between the winds and keyboard, and the major chick corea influence in there. Just made me love the show even more

It IS the coolest moment of the summer!

i need a picture with this man

Such a highlight this summer!!!! 🎶💙🎶

Always looked forward to his solo during the season. You rocked

I'm trying out for bluecoats when I'm old enough because of "Riffs and Revelations"

This man made history

You make the show...so cool!💕💕💕

Absolutely amazing...

Frickin awesome

i love this keytar solo more than my dog jk

I’m going to buy a Keytar because of this guy

Great job this summer, Ryan! Highlight of the season in my book!

i expected nothing less from a mello player, mellos are always the best

my band had a ryan who played keytar for this fall season

Loved your show at Broken Arrow!!!

This guy is inspiring ngl

Awesome 🔥

DUDE! YES!👏✊😎Totally Awesome!

This was THE COOLEST THING EVER!!!

LETS GOOOOO RYAN - Colin

Let's gooo he is a mallo so cool

I’m a blue devils fan but like I thought this show should have won this year

One day, your kids are going think you are so lame, and their friends are going to think you are so rad. This is the way.

Finally

Atta boy!

Good luck in your future endeavors. Ty

Akira shirt = based

i didn't know that Corey Henry was the inspiration for this, pretty cool

was he in drum corps or marching band in the past?

What sound are they using for the keytar?

Yooo Corey Henry from snarky puppy

This is not a man, this is a Bluecoat

How old is he? Was that his age out??

Uniforms are important.

Real Drum and bugle Corps, do not have electric guitars, electric organs, trombones, amplifiers with microphones, singing and dancing, all sorts of props, drummers juggling, and head bobbing, arms flaring all over the place. Guess what, this is a marching band. We no longer have real drum and bugle Corps. May they all rest in peace. Please start calling it what it really is, a marching band.
