2017 Blue Knights - FULL SHOW

[@n.m.dimmick194]

Vic Firth is the real MVP for posting good quality run-throughs of these shows. Its still worthwhile to support your favorite corps by buying recordings, but I love having recordings like these for all the shows I can't afford to buy as well as an easy way to show people these amazing shows.

[@dctrbrass]

Yup as a brass player, I want the best quality audio, so I prefer to watch the blu-rays. But yeah I've exposed a lot of people to DCI via youtube.

[@samfielder8789]

If it weren’t for vic firth I wouldn’t even know about DCI, so you could make the argument that this yt channel changed my life

[@markwoods5457]

This was honestly my favorite show from Blue knights and one of my favorite shows from 2017!

[@markwoods5457]

20i7*

[@davidhernandez7204]

I remember last year when they performed this for the first time in Clovis... right before the first impact/hit everything was silent and I moaned because of the music and everyone around me laughed... this show deserves more attention it's astonishing

[@Lexieidk]

10:40 I went to powder springs Georgia to the southeastern championship and I heard them warming up and I actually cried it was the first thing I heard live from a corp and that's when it hit me that I was actually seeing all these drum corps. It was so beautiful

[@Wingmanbill8007F]

Crown Fan here.....this was my fav show for 2017 especially the music!!

[@dctrbrass]

I'm def. giving props to whomever wrote the music too. Really nice writing.

Great traditional Drum Corp build with a modern flare!!from 5:29 to 5:51. EXCELLENT!!

[@GSIZZLE88]

Sky Writer Agreed! I kind of feel it is a minor cross between BD & Cadets at this point of the show.

[@rylandcook5301]

Poke’G Definitely see where you’re coming from. I was thinking a bit of Cadets as well

[@0Aquamelon]

Show about why you shouldn’t be on your phone all the time Requires a device to watch it in 2018

[@rod3809]

Aquamelon! You can watch on a tv, laptop, consoles. Not just a phone is required.

[@KingTateGreene]

The depth of this show is beyond what many understand. The music is by far phenomenal. This show had me in tears not only because of phenomenal execution but because of the deep messages written into the show. I believe there is a deep philosophical questioning happening here in this show asking all beings, with all the technological connection that we have today, have we lost our way from the connection that really matters.

[@MicahtheDrumCorpsPseudoboomer]

Semi-off-topic question: Who had the better arrangement of Imogen Heap's Hide and Seek: 2007 Spirit from JSU or 2017 Blue Knights?

[@hooviedoovie5220]

8:33 sneaky timp player dab.

[@that1snare]

mini hoov i saw that and nearly died 😂

[@xChoiceChasers]

Das me, wasn't intentional, but I can def see why it looks that way

[@ralphparker4757]

That timpani groove starting at 8:28 that then spreads to the hornline is possibly the catchiest lick I've heard in DCI lol

[@iAmNovaFilms]

Ralph Parker I really love it it's one of my favorite licks ever

[@josesaavedra8542]

Ralph Parker That's from the movie "Dancer in the Dark" and the song is by Bjork called "107 steps".

[@josesaavedra8542]

Ralph Parker It's pretty close to the original. It's on the album by Bjork called Selmasongs.

[@ralphparker4757]

Most gorgeous chord reharminization at 2:20

[@dctrbrass]

lol almost feel like that intro could be analyzed in a theory class. some badass writing there.

[@vifcole]

Late reply but the opener was AWESOME. Especially that last chord

[@wtwrush]

Absolutely stunning. Two of my favorite chords that any hornline has ever played

[@skaynekurtis]

love that run at 12:00 & how she finishes it... really dig that kinda of full-commitment musicianship...

[@paytonhuffman1406]

4:25 is the best part. I literally spit out my water 😂😂

[@1049berkeley]

Love this show. 2014 and 2015 are prob my fave BK shows....Fly to Paradise still gives me goosbumps

[@mrsandman3091]

This show is so underrated

[@dctrbrass]

Nice! That brass writing!!!!! Awesome. For example, the last statement that leads to the final chord in the 1st movement. Really nice counterpoint.

[@gideonjohnston7650]

Probably my favorite show in a whike

[@cynical9108]

Definitely my favorite show in a whike as well

[@skaynekurtis]

2018 & I still come back to watch this show... it's just that good. No one going for the snare solo this season... too bad.

[@clearestapricotpencil4125]

I LOVE this show, but hate the voice samples.

[@ipadbossbaby4558]

Kevin Simmons We did too tbh

[@lukeprocida589]

The philosophy of showing rather than saying very much applies to drum corps. Though they've had some good samples in the past.

[@calebniner]

I will march for you in 2019

[@sophiebophiex]

My color guard director was a member in 2017! I spotted him, too!

[@hooviedoovie5220]

rip the snare solo in kuna, ID. mic failed or something and the sound didn't come through the synth.

[@kathie270319]

That was really unfortunate :( I remember that particular show. I was volunteering with a different corps and got to see them at their other shows. My particular favorite was Ogden.

[@prodcatastrophe]

How was this only 8th?

[@sophiebophiex]

My color guard director was a part of this show!

[@griffinbowers2643]

This makes me sad. Our school had a fiasco with the band directors sleeping with students, and the second one got fired. Our band starts in 7th grade. I came into 9th grade with pretty much 6th grade knowledge. I’ve always wanted to join drum courp but i will never be good enough at this point.

[@saltwestlo5023]

Griffin Bowers just keep working hard for it! You can do it

[@luckyhunt7293]

Griffin Bowers Hey man, I know plenty of people that have marched corps pick up their instrument for the very the year that they first auditioned. You've got this!

[@setiyoung8947]

You honestly can, you just have to work hard and push yourself to be your best 24/7, you got this.

[@dctrbrass]

Work hard dude! I was behind in 9th grade too....was still writing fingerings under the notes and didn't know my scales. But made all-state and all-south in a couple years. Do your thing man.
