2017 Bluecoats - "Jagged Line"

[@thatoneguy285]

I love how much the prop shakes in the opening hit

[@TheManyNations]

I literally covered my eyes in Indy because I thought I was going to watch them all die lmfao

[@325bpm6]

yeah, that prop is kinda terrifying

[@highstimulation2497]

omg you mean at 1:48? yeah yikes

[@gentry3631]

Good luck to all who are are auditioning for the Blacksuspenders this season.

[@benh4925]

[@SpicyChicken560]

1:43 I don’t think it’s legal to have a beat that groovy.

[@sinistersniper4867]

feats why they were dancing to it XD

[@SpicyChicken560]

Luke Lehmuller oh no. You foiled my plan!

[@samdelong4823]

you should listen to the source music. It is called Psychopomp. Its pretty lit.

[@anthonymontoya3553]

I found Psychopomp through BLOO and I fell in love with it right from the start. Amazing song. The band isn't that bad either.

[@samdelong4823]

Anthony Montoya the original is obviously better than the bluecoats version though.

[@jdv_gg8250]

BLOO has officially pulled a Crown-1st place one year, and then 5th place the next year

[@animeprincess98]

Cadets did this before I believe

[@noonecfcf]

dog de la frog I think The Cadets managed to fall to 6th in 2006 after winning in 2005 when they tried to do a “part two” lol

[@hectorcaban6225]

Coasters Unlimited the cavaliers also did this in 1993, winning their first championship in 1992 but getting fifth the next year

[@nathanreno-winters8732]

A lot of corps seem to believe in superfluous overproduction the year after a championship. It doesn't work.

[@DeejSZN]

Coasters Unlimited phantom 1st to 9th

[@woosy3848]

I feel like I’m the only person that likes this show. It’s not they’re best, but I enjoy it a lot. Can’t wait till 2018 fellas.

[@Prof.CheeseDog]

Ah dude no, it's a fantastic show! Every top 12 corps puts on fantastic shows. If people criticize, they're just doing it comparatively.

[@woosy3848]

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

[@woosy3848]

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.

[@OchreFrame]

In my opinion, it was too dirty to win, but too groovy for me not to like it.

[@cocoafox]

i love love love this show, one of my favorite shows in recent years, honestly. the ending is just so catchy

[@calebbenton367]

1:43 when the beats are boppin so hard the stage bops with it

[@OchreFrame]

Are we not gonna talk about how the whole stage shakes at 1:48?

[@chrismarziliano]

Antoni Soroka oh you're very right and it was stressful to learn before the railings were put on haha

[@PresentGenGamer]

Omg, now I can't unsee it >_>

[@jacobhanekamp2534]

Antoni Soroka I saw that and I was like, OH MY GOD IT'S SHAKING

one of the coolest openers in bluecoats history. So groovy!

This show has so many parts that sound so good

[@evanmnichproductions]

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

[@diegoochoa3550]

I am disappointed by the lack of tuba feature in this video.

I feel to pain my liege

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? 😑

Am I the only one who know that this is from the band thank you scientist???

[@Ebidle]

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

[@TristanNicley]

How many times did you watch this. Yes.

[@oliviachappell422]

Can we please acknowledge the wink at 0:48

Holy shit, listening to this with my earbuds, never felt satisfied! The tuda sounded amazing in the background!

[@TheRabbitHasLanded]

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.

[@theepicrrotmg7325]

That guard though... the "skimpy" look is definitely something I've never seen before

[@jjh2456]

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.

[@the1aj39]

That's where I stop you Chief. Crown's closer for It Is is one of the best closers in DCI history, with or without the vocalist.

[@jjh2456]

@@the1aj39 without the vocalist it would’ve been good, but with the vocals it was a mess.

Alex Mok Downside Up was ground breaking. It was always going to be tough follow up that one.

[@jacobhanekamp2534]

The grooves from Down Side Up came at least

[@HavenMarches]

Well Downside up revolutionized DCI. Jagged Line was just a great show, and, well, there ya go.

[@erikn8158]

ANGEL

[@TayBugz]

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.

[@jjh2456]

Taylor West remember Bloo is top heavy and they tune sharp. Their emphasis will always be on the lead soprano.

The Bluecoats have always been big band jazz bruh

[@522Dusty]

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.

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.

[@chickenpermission2.044]

Anyone know what this song actually is?

[@shaples]

Chicken Permission 2.0 “Psychopomp” by Thank You Scientist. The intro/preshow thing is “Prelude”, also by TYS

[@donnix6931]

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 ???
