Blue Devils Pokemon B&W theme in the lot

Blue Devils performs the Pokemon B&W theme at Mt. Sac Corps at the Crest in the lot.

[@Wadosan]

I love how BD went out of their way not just to play a Pokémon battle theme, but the *best* Pokémon battle theme from the *best* games in the series.

[@walkerly_]

as a pokemon fan and a drum corps fan, this part is one of my favorite parts of any show this year

[@sometimesnotemile]

I was absolutely playing Pokemon Go in the lot yesterday listening to this, and it makes the experience so much better.

[@Magnichu]

This is the one year where I'm okay with them winning

Why do I go to the DCI East show every year? This!!! 🎉❤ Celebration of the extraordinary ✨️

[@bobbob-iq8yn]

Holy sh** I love that BD is becoming the weeb corps. This makes me so happy.

[@Setosama02]

Hell yeah!!! Unova Trainer Battle theme!!!

[@Blue_foxley]

Time to turn down the hearing aid (id lose my hearing just listening to it, it’s that loud)

[@Dough_Bro]

Standing in front of the high brass feature had my ears ringing for an hour

[@markoates9057]

Lower-mid brass has a good sound generally. A little sloppy elsewhere in attacks and releases otherwise.

[@joshchambers9922]

I'd say mostly the releases but it should clean up nicely

What is the source music

[@Dough_Bro]

blue devils arrangement of the pokemon B&W trainer battle theme

[@dylans.1741]

Are those by any chance the SUNY Fredonia Blue Devils?

[@Dough_Bro]

Lol no, these are the concord Blue Devils, a drum corps on tour much like a regular band except these drum corps have competitions against each other!

[@dylans.1741]

@@Dough_Bro I see. So are they based in New Hampshire or Massachusetts, because there are two notable cities named Concord

@@dylans.1741 Concord, California

[@dylans.1741]

@@pigeonette1 Interesting. I didn't even know there was a Concord in California?

[@tacos8910]

hopefully its gonna be lick off the plate clean unlike 2017's flight of the bumblebee

[@harrys2331]

I thought it was pretty clean by the time the victory run came around. You also kinda have to note that it sounds different in person than on video.

[@tacos8910]

@@harrys2331 nah bro member to member it was not great. A lot of ppl cut from the part and there's quotes out there from Meehan

[@kevinjohnson5210]

for once BD got ripped off at DCI --PR alum. Put it behind you and bust it next year.

[@truthteller8504]

Nah it just doesn't sound good. Entrances aren't there. Sound quality is sketchy. Hopefully they get way better by August. Fingers crossed

[@sillylad7901]

brother this is how july is always. that is very hard music.

[@IAmApolloful]

@@sillylad7901 "very hard" you mean chromatics? or the Eighth notes from the low brass? I would like to know what part of that is "very hard" xD

[@sillylad7901]

all I'm saying is that generally the music is quite challenging and that there are a lot of them playing it at the same time. It's not gonna be crystal clear in early July. It never is.

[@Lord_SQUIDIOUS]

Blawg it’s July😭Chill out

[@joshchambers9922]

@@IAmApollofulYou've never played a brass instrument if you don't understand what's challenging about this
