Bloo22 Keytar Soloist, Ryan Jacobs

Hear from #Bloo22 Soloist, Ryan Jacobs, about the development of his keytar riffs & the revelations that brought it all together 😉🎹🎸

[@cedarpointfan5]

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

[@krimsonjosh2723]

he did it

[@danagiles5100]

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.

[@m.little]

that dude is amazing

[@davewroberts]

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!!

[@ryandavidjacobs]

No way what’s up Dave!! Really great meeting you!

[@davewroberts]

@@ryandavidjacobs Yeah man, same here!! I first saw your show at the movie theater tour premiere, and lost it at the keytar solo…”HEY That’s the guy from the Djesse show!!!” Wishing you and Bloo22 all the best…y’all are rocking drum corps this season!

[@ChrisZwolinski]

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.

[@livfoltz1215]

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

[@IntermediateTire]

give us keytar cam

[@caedarlin4548]

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

[@DillonM-mc6yw]

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

[@supejc]

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

[@annimon2814]

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

[@andersonsm02]

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!!!!

[@RishiJalukar]

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

[@ajv5811]

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

[@MaxAalbers]

Never got to meet the dude but the dudes a legend

[@quantumchris1]

i need a picture with this man

[@dgmcswain]

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!

[@willmoyars9614]

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

[@DrBicsta]

It IS the coolest moment of the summer!

[@OrganGuyPhil]

Such a highlight this summer!!!! 🎶💙🎶

[@gloriouslyimperfect]

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

[@dylanreyes2017]

This man made history

[@nolanxx24]

i love this keytar solo more than my dog jk

[@3rdGUMObro]

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.

[@stj53]

Absolutely amazing...

[@marciathomas8702]

[@zachnilesdrumz]

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

[@sergeant_salty]

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

[@MoldyMan]

Akira shirt = based

[@GOPROTQE]

What sound are they using for the keytar?

[@diegocasas5733]

Yooo Corey Henry from snarky puppy

[@noah_459x]

This is not a man, this is a Bluecoat

[@user-zh7eo3nn8m]

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

[@GabeT04]

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

[@clifbro1260]

Uniforms are important.

[@americanspirit8932]

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.

[@landoon995]

You are so obsessed with this “marching band you call” these kids work so hard all summer and your telling me rn that they aren’t allowed to have fun? I forgot drum corp couldn’t evolve sorry, I thought all things stayed the same
