2021 Blue Stars Full Show [with audio]

[@GraphicEncounter]

so glad so many corps took the "not normally competitively strong, but fun" approach to show design this year. i don't know if this would have flown in a regular season, but it seems so gosh darn fun to perform.

[@danielapollo]

well, I think this could work in a regular season with a stronger writing.

[@TrommekorpsTV]

It even seems they perfom more musically easier for the audience to listen to. A thing to consider in DCI in my opinion - have the competitive game gone to a level that are almost absent on crowdpleasing?

[@F3RRO1]

Everyome trying to be bluecoats now

[@briancrumrine6639]

I favor a shift to a focus more on playing for the audience vs. going for the best judging outcome. Agree some of the shows this year are so great and make me FEEL great which is what music is about, right? Hoping corps learn something from this year and incorporate some of the learnings from 2021 going forward.

[@robpena9152]

It made all the shows fun to watch as well. I hope they take this approach next year even tho its a competitive year. Probably wont happen, but we will see

[@ryant8424]

A show not DEPENDANT on electronics! Thank you blue stars. I enjoyed your 2021 presentation.

[@frankpellerin6999]

My dude... Thank you. Truth.

[@VaughnDJs]

always glad there is still a Blue Stars, they kept going through some extremely lean times!

[@BazAnims]

Yeah

[@CT--lj9ck]

I was here for this performance, they are visually one of the best corps to see

[@BazAnims]

Yup. My brother was a tenor in this group. Pretty epico

[@notizu6969]

@@BazAnims tenor? this is a drum corp meaning there are no saxophones you meant tenor sax

[@colelmore]

@@notizu6969 he meant tenor drums aka quads…

[@charlesroydubuc4870]

God, that’s a drum corps show should be. Entertainment first and no compromise with music quality

[@VaughnDJs]

agreed, it seems to not be a who can be "most innovative" (read: weirdest) competition. for me drum corps is inspiration 1st, I want to come away feeling more ready to take on the world!

[@boolin5162]

Hopefully Flomarching is done stunting the growth of the marching arts by privatizing the ability to watch dci shows, or even for people to be able to have a video of their own show. I’m still not a fan but I’m glad you guys have started taking steps in the right direction, please continue.

[@stptgator]

Wouldn't hold your breath. The leaders of DCI and partnership with Flo-Sports is going to destroy Drum Corp IMO.

[@macerunner4674]

they didn't continue ;-;

[@squillz8310]

Everybody say "Thank you FloMarching!"

[@sarniasam]

I think this is the best audio recording of a battery from the field this year.

[@503music6]

Oh thank god I thought it didn’t have audio, thank you thank you!

[@brandonwhite605]

I just know that quad part was so fun

[@dennissmathers898]

sure is good to see this activity again

[@luciasantos8536]

Obrigado FloMarching por gravar e postar os vídeos das apresentações do DCI, vejo sempre aqui do Brasil.

[@Rake.Kennauf]

Flo not taking down a full dci show and posting one instead??? THANK YOU!!

[@MrMusicmicky]

Wow, Fantastic show! Entertainment over scores, I love it!

[@williamphillips6247]

Looks and sounds great!

[@Eric-ro8bw]

Very ambishious book. Nice work.

[@adrianjensen3550]

I saw this program at the Rotary Music Festival last weekend, and it was a very interesting way to follow Phantom Regiment.

[@chiefqueef1256]

I bet

[@stevenscholze8196]

I saw both at Drums on Parade. I'm pretty obsessed with this opener :) I've been a drum corps fan since the mid 1970s & was elated to see so many this year. Phantom is/was definitely a fan favorite.

[@tristanbutcher8211]

Love my blue stars

[@BlahajBlast0]

much appreciated flo

[@dcloud3791]

In the heights baby

[@joelleson3313]

Leonard Bernstein was famous for writing innovative musicals like "Candide" and "West Side Story". I often wonder how he would critique the current DCI "full style" drum corps genre.I see these vast musical productions as, "Broadway On A Football Grid".

[@HE360]

He'd probably enjoy it!

[@daleshaeffer4916]

What an absolute amazing performance!

[@Mrtellitlikeitis]

U mean nightmare

[@koreywilliams5534]

Just went to the dci show in Allentown it was epic

That's MY horn Sargent 😤😤😤😤🙏

[@future.mortician]

This show is so cool! It’s not the cleanest I’ve ever seen. There are some issues with all different areas, but DAMN is it fun, and you can feel the spirit!

[@KlldbyCuriosity]

Reminder that this was over a week ago and we’re much cleaner now

Look at flo trying to get on everyone's good side. Lol it's working for me

[@fabianamurillo7905]

I’d give my whole right arm (the talented one) to be in this show 😩

[@lcampbell6470]

Thanks to the arranger for not putting in a bunch of gratuitous screech notes.

[@kotlingoddess]

Is it just me or not but 8:08 remind me of crown 21 ballad

[@arcticmountain8730]

I’m not totally sure if i see it… cause the crowns ballad has a very specific tone and rhythm to it. However, I do see what you mean when it sounds similar…

[@holtek86]

the star of this show was the rubber-bumper MGB that apparently was abandoned on the 30 yard line.

[@bonkersmcgee4356]

A nice mix of traditional unis with a little added flair. Leotards have never been necessary for an audience to "get" a show.

[@garingdahl]

Regarding the title...wouldn't it be kind of pointless to post a Drum Corps. video WITHOUT audio. Just sayin'!

[@aguylololololololol]

cade (:

[@billcostello3066]

Good show! They need hats !!!

Nah they don't. Imo that would have made it look worse

[@ericm9407]

@@JohnSmith-zi9or Dude if I was butthurt I’d be going to every corps’ video and crying because they hit rims on quads and shitting on every corps. I’d be crying because DCI aren’t the way they were 20 years and comparing them to symphonies. I’d religiously shit on every video posted. And who did that?

@@ericm9407 Thought I already posted, maybe it didn't post? When someone tells me something is clean as eff, it better be. Don't give me a tenor line scrapping rims. You seem to be butt hurt when someone is critical of something. Welcome to real life.

[@ericm9407]

@@JohnSmith-zi9or being critical = YOUR excuse to be a dickhead about something. There are numerous ways to be critical and not be a dick to where you’re just shitting on drum corps in general but your pride is so over your head that you feel your irrelevant comments of hating DCI matter.

Pure junk. Its comical
