Bluecoats Drumline 2014 - Finals Lot 

lol he was number one from spongebob... probably inside joke.

Hazel Strong shut up

@@adamz0037 You got issues brother?

P L yes

No. They're REALLY REALLY good

Sean Bowers no. They are REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY GOOD.

Here I am 5 years later to tell you they are great as hell👌🏽

@@alexgaeckle1540 Really?

@@sasquatchlil4173 REALLY!

+Colin and it's not difficult to destroy a crazy quad solo?

i dont know if it was just me, but i thought the quad solo was a teenie weenie bit off tempo

Tenors are generally easier to have clean than snares (especially when there are 9 snares) which is usually why after a clean snare solo or feature people get really excited. BlueQ is definitely great though and get plenty of love.

@kyle I would disagree that tenors are "easier" to clean. Yes snare line has more people but tenors have more drums if you want to go that route. Back to the original post though, I was referring to the parts where the tenors should have gotten more love on their wicked solo versus split eights between 9 players. But anywho, people will like what they want I guess.

dmr3e I was saying that because of the articulation of the drums, snares are harder to clean. Anyone can see that. Also the snares split 16ths, not 8s.

Sebass The glance the wood block guy gave him though.

kittenassassin you can see how hard he's trying not to laugh

+Sebass XD He's trying to hold it together hahahahaha

+Sebass OH MY GOD. In band this year I was in front of the bass's and they would always chant "He was number one." to the beat during rehearsal and I now know why.

+Mana Heartfilia Hey likes what?

Ian Fowler I don't get it help

Crown's 2015 show was called Inferno. So, Dante's Inferno.

OrnateRope who’s dante

@@ornaterope8319 the guy's name is Dante 4head

more precisely donte

i go to school with him. He's amazing :)

1DMapler18 I've gotta take a guess that you're snare line is pretty solid. That guy gets tons of props for managing to do this at 15.

matt funkhouser yeah our snare line is pretty great :) He's a beast.

I wouldn't say "little" cause he's like 6'3 hahaha

Yayayee! Arjun!

Sebastian_ Morando *corps

Nah, SCV or Troopers.

Mikethedude22 ur welcome

Well Rue marched 2015👌🏾, as did Mando, who also marched 16 and 17. Charlie marched 17 and now 18 along with Alex(I think, don't quote me on that). So I guess the spirit of Rue still lives on🤘🏾😂

Don't count SCV out.

***** hey dont be disrespectin Bret's writing, that guy's a genius

well i mean no shit you lose to them then lol

Lol, i go to school with him. Where do you go to?

dnhs. freshman on quads. I know, freshman make you upper classmen sick. what are you and what do you play?

Ooh that sounds nice. I'm a sophomore tuba player

its nice to know that non-drummers are into drum corps =)

Ian Fowler lmao

Because it was a very crowded lot, and I had trouble getting good angles of the tenors and basses without people being in the way. Believe me, I wish I got more of them!

DrumCorpsTube And the cymbals?

DarkDoors1998 Lol

Bluecoats have the best tenor line

+DarkDoors1998 There are no cymbals in the Bluecoats

+jake andersen He likes dogs! (?)

😭

That must be why nobody this year looks familiar. I was wondering about that.

A veteran line. One of the iconic lines, in the same vein as BD 2012.

One of the snares from this line is 15 so he might come back

Music Men no the one your talking about went to Devils

They appear to be placing higher in percussion

And now they have drumset.

that’s bloo’s hornline warming up

yes

Ollie Delotto. He was my tech for a year!

***** Do you know the different sizes of the sticks?

***** Okay. Cool. Man, I've been out of the marching game way too long I guess because I've never heard of either one of those sticks. I only marched in high school but I was an instructor for my high school drumline and other high school drumlines for about 3 years after graduating high school in 1991. Back then, you might have 8 snares using 5 different types of sticks. I used the Dennis Delucia sticks before he had his Vic Firth signature stick. Some guys used Pro Mark DC-3's I think. It wasn't long after I graduated that my instructor made everyone switch to the same stick. Thanks for the info.

Okay. When they started playing with the smaller sticks I noticed a difference in sound and in the look of the stick. So you're in high school? Have you ever auditioned for All-State Band? The material that's used for the audition can be challenging but that's what makes it fun. There's usually a snare solo or two, plus a few handpicked rudiments and of course you're supposed to play each rudiment in the style of open-closed-open, or slow-fast-slow, making the transitions as smooth as possible. If you've never auditioned, you should look into it. If you do well enough you get to miss a few days of school as you prepare for a concert with lots of the best high school musicians in your state. I auditioned all 4 years but I didn't make it my freshman year. Let me know how it goes, if it goes.

The black sticks are called blast sticks if i'm correct. They're essentially brushes for a marching snare.

TheBionicWaffle Dreadlocks are the Vic Firth version and the ones Bloo uses are IP.

justice christopher @20 MQ-8300 Field-Corps™ Series

All of the tenor music for Tilt is on snarescience, not sure about the snares. It might be, doesn't hurt to check, the list changes all the time so someone probably has made it

Quads don't have to do stick tricks to be visually interesting because of horizontal movement of the sticks and such.

Matthew J Reynolds youre right that’s exactly what they’re doing

NPC 1984 oof my mistake, I’m not too familiar with Yamaha drums lol

***** isnt it crazy? and he doesnt even get as much credit as brandon. Arjun marched BDB 2013 when he was 14 years old, and Brandon marched academy at 15 and BD at 16

+sumbooodeeee ok I know I'm late, but which one is Arjun?

really dark tall dude on snare

+bajlim thanks man
