Blue Devils 2015 - Legend Of The One Eyed Sailor

DCUK Summer Speculator 2015 Woking

That was awesome! Y'all are great! First time I ever saw the Blue Devils was my freshman year of high school way back in 1976 at the DCI finals in Philadelphia. Legend was the concert number then too. Still have to watch that video at least once a month. Still gives me chills. 👍👍👍👍

1976 Blue Devils blows this away by a mile

[@declandougan7243]

That was the A corps, as well as being a part of the show and practiced for the whole summer. This is BD international.

Fact, even they're last year with G Bugles blew out of the stadium.

Maybe it is just the poor recording, but it sounds like there are some serious phasing issues...especially between percussion and brass.

[@ethanbenner6995]

@Anderson Remy exact same comments, almost all blue devils lotOES videos

[@advisorz]

Its due to their field placement, the sound is meant for the drum major and people directly behind, this goes with the speed of sound, You can watch a video on it. Its very interesting.

[@anitacolotto9282]

Yup, it’s in a lower key, and has NO funk.

[@RealMatthewMorgan]

Too bad this will be forever compared to the ‘76 version. Not so much about how worse these kids are…but nothing will ever touch that Bonnie Ott trumpeted masterpiece.

Where's the cowbell? LotOES needs cowbell.

Triangle for the WIN!

[@Livefire123]

DCI needs to bring back G Bugles! They can be manufactured with valves to obtain the better intonation.

[@brigjuicebrass9203]

G bugles have been made with valves for over 50 years.

[@tylerdurden4045]

This sounds like a watered-down high school arrangement of BD 76. Why not use Jim Ott's concert band arrangement instead? It's 1000x better than this one, and it stays true to his original arrangement.

[@Miyamotospoop13]

um okay

[@WesleyParksTTV]

The original is so much better lol

[@declandougan7243]

This is BD international, not the A corps. It’s not really comparable.

[@Kris-ww3yd]

Definitely sounds a bit naked without cymbals. This lacks the bite and finesse from years past. Too sterile.

[@kevinjohnson5210]

nope
