[@purplechicken86]

This, tilt, and downside up are three of the most satisfying shows I've ever seen

[@johnnymitchellcollier]

i keep saying it, the mid 2010s were the golden age for the coats

[@definitelynotcainan3353]

The single most criminally underrated show in DCI history. Lost of corps TALK about innovating... this corps DID innovate. Introducing live mixing and looping was something never seen before in DCI (unless you count two chords in Tilt).

[@Tkibbs14]

This show screams underrated

[@TheRabbitHasLanded]

Tkibbs14 the drumline was so underrated. This show was a masterpiece

[@jesuspectre9883]

@@TheRabbitHasLanded What was the show about?

[@TheRabbitHasLanded]

Jesu Spectre it’s an abstract adventure through the sounds and waves in motion through its drill and music. It’s poetry in motion.

[@jesuspectre9883]

@@TheRabbitHasLanded The problem with the show was there was no poetry at all. There were literally no words to help develop and support the theme. Poetry, even referenced off the field outside the show, would have been a welcome addition to help heighten the concept and give it depth. By the way, all drum corps shows are about sounds and waves of motion, so how is this one different? How are this show's ripple effects different from the tons of ripple effects done throughout the activity that year? How is the end different from the beginning? This show had an underdeveloped theme of sound wave theory, and lacked specificity, humanity, emotion and resonance. But it sounded great, created some magical visual moments, and sure was pretty to watch. It didn't need dialogue, dance, singing, story or characters. It needed meaning. Third place.

[@mkay8334]

I don’t know why, but I got a lot of meaning from this show. I think the fact it’s so abstract means it can take any meaning the viewer wants it to be, sorta like T/LT. It seems to give off some sort of sentimental and also poetic vibe for me, especially with Steve Reich and “Woods” as source music, both intelligent and sentimental pieces. At least it has a constant theme, and it’s not all over the place. It feels like one show.

[@AndyGuyCantYouLiftForLife]

4:56 the lead in to the impact just gives me chills every time

[@jamesswofford6619]

none of us were ready for this show the first time we saw it

[@ghostchacha4519]

Full honesty I thought it sucked the first time I listened to it. It's now my favorite.

[@kia2008100]

That ballad is like a little piece of heaven on earth

[@pmil9645]

The opener is so unique and satisfying

[@aysarmarzuqi]

That saber toss at 9:03 was so damn perfect

[@areciboy]

They deliver an ABSOLUTELY INSANE performance and then the 3 people that clap at the end gets me every time. (Granted, it's a rehearsal, there probably wouldn't have been very many there)

[@Gizzy9987]

The last minute is literally the most chill inducing thing I’ve ever heard. I can’t watch it without the hairs on the back of my neck sticking up.

[@nathanreno-winters8732]

Can we just appreciate how full the drumline sounds in that measure at 3:39?

[@steviesiepler1493]

Nathan Winters I cant stop listening to it

[@connorcolucci]

its so good dude

[@mel-px7hl]

If BD didn’t play as ballsy as they did in 2015, this would’ve been a Sanford line easily.

[@camilleon352]

I keep expecting the mellos to do the Bb C E C Bb from tilt at 1:44

[@myelin-sheath]

4:18 THAT RIFLE RIPPLE GOD BLESS

[@izcalliguadarrama]

One of the most innovative shows of all time. This is the future of the marching arts. Y’all ain’t ready to hear it yet… ;)

[@jacobkoch4712]

At about 12:10 the light above the drum major's is in tempo lolol

+Jacob Koch indeed it was.

[@adumbusername1440]

5:36 god DAMN basses that hand to hand was CLEEEEEEEEEEAAN

[@tristongoss8699]

Woods will forever be my favorite Bluecoats ballad of all time

[@tristongoss8699]

And the most intense and probably also my favorite closer

[@DisabusingTheLeft]

This show is a dizzying display of utter AWESOMENESS!!!!! They did not get their just rewards that year for such an amazingly difficult show. Definitely in my top 10 of ALL TIME!!!!

[@magi3018]

Here in 2021 , still an amazing show

[@steverman2312]

3:57 i dont think its legal to have a contra feature this sexy

[@alexgaeckle1540]

Probably one of the best rehearsals to sit through haha.

[@jacobhanekamp2534]

This is the first time I actually watched this show and holy crap I have been missing out!

[@fancykat9940]

9:50 my favorite part. Honestly I think it sounds like it's from Spartacus (Phantom Regiment 2008)

[@Zeeker13]

It's an excerpt from "Dense" by Univers Zero

[@dereksmith3599]

MY GOD!! This is amazing thanks so much!!

[@rimenuir910]

Is no one gonna comment on all the hats that the pit threw?

[@lucasz8825]

A bit controversial, but this show fits so well with synthesizers, a lot more than I feel other shows have.

[@ashtonvarner7033]

At 2:59 I always expect the tilt pitch shift 😂

[@rushingcandles]

LOTS of Steve Reich in this show! Is it like a 'minimalism' show?

[@Aisluin]

I didn't think of it, but I think the percussion judge for the bluecoats that year described their music as minimalist and clean. Dont quote me on that tho

[@CamdenBoggio]

Great video

Can someone tell me what the voice over during the percussion feature is saying? I can’t make out the words

[@sparklymop]

Neither can I. I've been wondering that for a long time.

[@CDev15]

Sparkly Mop All motion is relative so we can think of one thing as being fixed and the thing as being moving. An inertial frame of reference is one in which the law of inertia is balanced All frames of reference moving at constant velocity with respect to an inertial frame are also inertial frames. You may call me brother now Yes brother, I know He’s 42, 5 feet 8inches tall Normally wears his curly hair long He has a ruddy complexion, broad shoulders and is barreled chested He’s a college graduate, a talented artist and sculptor Normally wears, normally wears, normally wears his hair long Found the original music, the science I just managed to figure out what it was saying

[@sparklymop]

@@CDev15 the second half of that is just flat out weird. Idk any other words to describe it. How does it relate to kinetic motion and stuff? I still think it's really cool.

[@CDev15]

It is pretty strange, it’s part of the original music. I still really like how it fits in with what they’re playing
