[@Big_Fern]

I know! I was wondering if i was the only one who saw it.

[@mickeydoyle8193]

Lol. Back in the day, the last run was known as "underwear run through". Guess why.

[@aconstans93]

That's Chris Haley, section leader. It's one of those things he does

[@robertgiudice5257]

That’s what my high school baritone line did this year haha

[@cameronlee309]

10:22 That snare part with the low brass feature gets me every time.

[@juhstion]

yes bro

[@ToXicImpuls3]

Okay, so not to be weird or anything... But at 7:20 look at how damn happy that kid is. he is a year younger than me, marching a world class drum corp. It makes me smiles how he is having so much fun and he is enjoying what hes doing.

[@kalymba_]

I agree with you so much

[@kalymba_]

And it's really cool because now he's entering his third year with the Blue Devils A Corps

[@bernie9543]

Noah Tramuto woah ok i thought that it was him, that’s so cool

[@paulcuffari8697]

By far my favorite Drumline ever. Very tight from playing to visuals. The bass line is world class

[@NoName-yq2jn]

My dream is to get into their bassline. Probably wont happen though. :/

[@bobsuper2]

Thank you Small Paul. I heard that the Allentown bass line sucks ass.

[@Queeze101]

bobsuper2 Allentown bass line? . . . Hope we're not talking Holy Bass here.

[@shellydon1785]

Even 4 years later.... This still gives me goosebumps

[@aaronorel3254]

I've probably watched this video 50 times as inspiration for my school's marching band. I play tenor, and my school bought some of the Bluecoats' props after their season ended. Really, you guys are inspirational.

[@joestanton257]

Lol jason at 3:01 with the big f bomb drop

[@RADZADproductions]

It's a real shame I didn't have the respect I have for drum corps that I do now back in 2014, when I saw this live.

[@javantrinidad2019]

that nasty bass 1 and 2 split at like around 6:34 was the sweetest and most cleanest thing I have ever heard two people play together. PERFECT!!!!

The energy that the blue coats have is unbelievable. They have fun with their shows and at the same time, perform a very entertaining, high quality show. Amazing.

[@hannahlael3445]

You can feel their passion and emotion, even through the camera. It's amazing.

[@HanaHoVideo]

12:05 DAMN IT!!!!! THE WHOLE SNARE LINE?!?!?!

***** That thing the did with their right hands is sort of like a "haha made you look" kind of thing.

Plus the banter and whimsical vibes from this run are so goooooodddd

[@quincibonezwade4935]

that was one of the tightest drum breaks I've ever heard. and I've heard tons.top 10 throw down.

[@stevenmartin176]

THIS SHOW IS MY FAVORITE DRUM CORPS SHOW OF ALL TIME AND NOTHING CAN EVER TOP THIS THE OPENER AND THE BALLAD ARE JUST SO PERFECT

[@Dorkie_99]

almost 7 years later and this is till the most legendary video on youtube.

[@LastResortMetal]

This show was absolutely sick--one of my favorites. I do have to say the one thing that disappointed me about this video was the obvious focus on the snares. I don't understand what is so fascinating about them--the tenors are playing just as many notes on six drums and the basses meld together as one player to play one part between five people. 50 years ago, the snares would have been the ones to watch-in the age of unison bass drums and triples. Don't get me wrong, I'd kill to have those snares' chops, but anymore, I'd argue they have it the easiest. But that's just me :)

[@DaXXPuniSHeR]

I am a tenor myself, and I totally agree with everything you're saying but each section of the line has there own set backs and it takes different muscle groups to handle what they endure. I would kill to have the chops of a snare as well.

[@retroretro8467]

+DaXXPuniSHeR looool as a snare myself I would say that it is definitely easier to march and it is alot of just chops. the reason for a focus on snares in most cases (in my opinion) is because they have a unique sound in terms of other marching drums and if they are very clean (which is hard to do with the 9-ish person snare line) then that makes the drums seem alot louder and even easier to pick out of the texture. I agree with you in the sense that I do prefer tenor cams to snare cams though.

[@retroretro8467]

+RetroRetro84 another thing is that snares are often the most technical drums rythmically and rudamentally speaking as they do not have to focus on multiple drums or splitting parts as much as the tonals. The technicalities of snare do make it difficult in its own right (thats why I prefer to play snare; I like to be very technical in my drumming).

[@KyleHutBB]

They are the hardest to play clean. The sound is so articulate that the littlest thing would cause so much dirt. And as for what you said about tenors playing that same thing as snare, that's usually not true, usually the tenor parts are made less complex.

[@quartratic2389]

Kyle Sometimes. The Blue Devils 2016 Quad book was a lot harder than the Snare Book.

[@MarioBruneau]

You people are so beautiful. You got my vote for the best DCI VIDEO EVER! So entertaining. The sound is perfect. Nice to hear the drumline front with the horns in the back. Nice too to hear the horns clearly. You amaze me all!

[@osodrums7897]

I never got the chance to audition because I joined the Army straight out of high school and my marching programs weren’t very supportive of sending us out to audition for corps. I regret it all, I wish I could go back and march, being at Lucas oil for finals every year hurts my soul, A LOT. I still play drum set, but marching percussion was really my passion, This is some AMAZING drumming man, it grooves so hard at some points.
