Bluecoats 2017 - Jagged Line (Full Show)

[@tylergandee5318]

Anybody else wish they would turn around during the MOST POWERFUL PART IN THE BALLAD

[@deltaphoenix8616]

Yessss would've been so good

[@xlea4497]

Bit late but they did at finals.

[@karlmarx2590]

They had Mics on the other side of the field that amplified it.

[@macerunner4674]

"FACE THE FRONT OF THE DAMN FIELD" - someone probably

[@organboi]

​@@karlmarx2590Wow. Mic-ing the other side.

[@RADZADproductions]

Watching this with bass boosted headphones was a good choice. Their bass line is killer

[@zerubeyene6982]

FINALLY. The soloist finally got it down.

[@ActuallyDavo]

Zeru Between Haha

[@drewnelson8692]

It's a decently difficult solo in my opinion. But yeah happy they got it👍

[@organboi]

Contras' rapid stairs descent at end. Mind blowing feat. And this music really grows on you with repeated hearings. One of the best Ive ever heard.

[@jasondonnelly1888]

much like Kinetic Noise, which I now enjoying watching, this show is going to take time to grow onto me. Tilt and Downside Up I fell in love instantly

[@Ion848]

7:47 some dude in the back just casually flips his entire Contra

[@Choungie]

Thank you ☺️

[@ActuallyDavo]

Choungie Bravo You're welcome!

[@Unknown-jj6gp]

Did anybody else see the contra toss at 7:45 or was it just me... scares me cause if our band director makes me do a toss ima lose it

[@user-fw5yf8ld1w]

this eargasm of a show made me lose NNN

[@organboi]

What's NNN

[@chrismav61]

The bassline is killing it

[@wm8673]

Notice nobody has anything bad to say about this show. They are going to win. BLOOOO!!!

[@sci8]

uniforms.

[@blueturtleteo65]

march winter there are probably an astonishing amount of people with bad things to say about it, they just know people are gonna shit on them for sharing their opinion and keep it to themselves

[@joshh3344]

Rip

[@wm8673]

I was soooo wrong

[@macerunner4674]

​@@wm8673fr

[@WilliamCrawfordMDM]

I'm just waiting for the ending to change, kind of like their past 3 shows had

[@ActuallyDavo]

William Crawford I'm sure it'll happen sooner or later

[@wei-anhsieh2853]

William Crawford do they plan the ending change? Or is it just they feel like redoing it

[@WilliamCrawfordMDM]

Angus Hsieh I believe they plan to change it like they have to past couple years

[@milliuhn]

I know that I am late to the party but thanks for the upload. Still love to hear this show and this is one of the better recordings imo

[@organboi]

Agreed. Best sound. Made with a cell phone it appears. Or hand held cam. You can really hear all the playing so clearly. Up close recordings can be awesome. This one certainly is.

[@organboi]

These lower POV up-close vids at smaller venues are fantastic. You can hear everything and it's amazing with great corps performers like these. Great service you did with this upload. The trumpet solo at 9:50 is so outstanding. The music this year was awesome. The fast march at the end is so clean and they sound great. But those damn "bloo" cheers sounding like boos. Every newcomer is horrified when they hear it. I'm tired of explaining to rookie friends that they're not booing. And just ONCE i would like to hear a stadium CHEER full out, rather than half the people NOT cheering, but "blooing." You lose half the audience response. Unfortunate tradition.

[@asomefacepro]

Is it just me or does the hornline sound like they got... less clean??

[@LuisRivera-rl9gl]

In a way yeah, 2017 wasn't such a good year for them

[@Bcanan]

The camera back and forth is giving me motion sickness.

[@ActuallyDavo]

Bcanan I'm sorry. I had to hold it up over people's heads and I do not have steady hands at all. I'll try to do better next time!

[@shack9376]

I don't think it was about your steady hands :p You were moving back and forth quite often when the corps was spread out. It was slightly disorienting.

[@ActuallyDavo]

Aki This is true. Thanks for pointing it out. I'll try to do it less next time.

[@organboi]

​@@shack9376Read the info section. The uploader made the video for himself. Not you or anyone. He needed room on his phone so he put it here.

[@shack9376]

@@organboi yes, my apologies. over the past 6 years ive learned to be less critical of others.

[@djmotise]

I am certain this is one of the best shows this year, and I'm happy there is no singing overkill like so many others, but I'm hoping something changes with this show because the show itself is still not exactly spectacular. I think the designers fell a bit short this time. My opinion only. They could still win of course, but I wish the members were given something a little more mind-blowing. I only saw them in the theater on June 22, so maybe something will change. Who knows.

[@ActuallyDavo]

darren motise I agree with you. If Carolina Crown cut the part of their show with the singer I'd prefer it to this show. And The Cadets show has no choice but to have singers, but I think they do it well.

[@djmotise]

David Keeton I could not agree more. CC signed their own walking papers with that extended vocal segment. That seems to be the main complaint most have with their show. And Cadets chose a rather Satanic version of a Mass setting, so that won't go over too well with viewers. CC has the most astounding opener I've heard in years. Too bad they ruined it with the singing. It's looking like the BC, SCV, and the BD will be fighting it out next month. But I would love to see CC come close to a win because of their amazing brass this year. And that Bach opener of theirs. I just don't see where a five minute Wicked mediocre solo comes in.

[@ActuallyDavo]

darren motise I absolutely loved their Bach opener. I love Little Fugue in G Minor and when I saw it in the theater it gave me high hopes for the show and it really was all going well till the singing began. I have a feeling Santa Clara may pull ahead this year too.

[@noahgormanmusic1843]

Ordinarily I'd agree but they are tied with BD for the highest score so far this season (81.900)

[@chrismav61]

I agree, I really have hopes for Santa Clara this year

[@noahgormanmusic1843]

Could someone please explain how those uniforms fit the show theme? Or even what the show theme is? I feel like I'd enjoy it much more if I got the concept

[@Griffin그리핀]

Gormstorm You could go to the bluecoats website and read what they design the show to be

[@brianjungen5799]

Don't worry about the concept. Most corps just make up that stuff anyway. Just enjoy kick ass music played very well with a great drill to match. Or as I call it....drum corps as it used to be.

[@DeathMustard]

Drill? Hell, there's hardly any marching involved in this show!

[@brianjungen5799]

Watch it again, but this time have your eyes open.

[@mux3044]

DeathMustard are you kidding me ? They literally didn't their closer WHILE jazz running

[@macerunner4674]

9:21 nothing will ever be as satisfying as that solo

[@jakovitchind.7641]

of course the beautiful tuba feature is completely overshadowed by the trumpets after lol

[@Multiozark]

I love this show!!!

[@oliviaconnolly6796]

I can't believe the person who filmed this moved around so much. Makes me sick. Smh. Do better next time.

[@its_shxblvrbs1786]

Not everyone is a professional photographer/videographer, enjoy what you get.

[@oliviaconnolly6796]

Its_Shxblvrbs it was actually an inside joke with the person who filmed this because clearly he got a lot of other comments mentioning it, but thanks anyways.

[@its_shxblvrbs1786]

Oh lmao

[@organboi]

Omg give it a rest. (5 years ago.) He filmed it for himself. Learn to read info sections a little more. I hope you've "done better" since then.

[@ravenrahn5148]

The ending line up reminds me of the ending line up of tilt

[@mellogarrett]

Why not show the colorguard if the hornline is just standing still?

[@ActuallyDavo]

Garrett Thompson I took this video so I could watch it back on my own with no intention of putting it on KZbin. I personally prefer seeing the hornline, but next time I record a corps I'll be sure to show everything.

[@augustr.4193]

G# at 4:40 is just perfect.

[@PlagueJ]

Whoever's idea it was to have them face away during the big hit in the ballad should never make decisions when it comes to the show, again lol

[@xlea4497]

It had something to do with the story and they turned around at finals.

[@organboi]

​@@xlea4497For those who knew the show, the turnaround at finals must have been totally thrilling

[@organboi]

Someone should make a list of the oddest or worst decisions in DCI shows.

[@thereddragon4508]

4:50

[@xandersedmak]

11:00

[@dzinator4225]

1:34 wtf the stairs

[@organboi]

Yep. Amaaaazing

[@MsDeeskie]

Saw a clip of the finisher on TikTok and had to come see the full show. Beautiful. If only woodwinds could have been a part of DCI 😭

[@d4TheViewer]

I see why you didn't want me in the video, David

[@jesuspectre9883]

3:31 is the moment where the audience realizes they're lost. They can't figure out the pattern-- there's no logic or clear progression to hang on to. They can't clap because they're scratching their heads and saying where's the pattern? What happens next? The camera man doesn't know as he frantically pans left and right.

[@TheLetsplaymine]

can't stand the uniforms

[@drewnelson8692]

TheLetsplaymine I LOVE them. The hats are an outstanding visual avenue. 👌

[@jeetlebuice3656]

They really add to the Broadway-ish feel of the show

[@djmotise]

I wish they would all stop with the "blooing" already. I know it's tradition, but not all traditions are good. It makes any newcomer convinced the audience is actually booing a rival corps or something. Traditions shouldn't require explanations as such. I was hoping it would have stopped when they won their first championship, but apparently not. Any boo sound (or bloo) is always alarming and jarring for a listener. It's negative in nature. Again, my opinion only.

[@nathan528]

darren motise I gotta disagree with you, boss. I think what makes a good tradition is it's uniqueness and it's origin. The Bloo is certainly unique, and is a crowd favorite, and I believe it will stay for a very long time.

[@sci8]

????

[@magoosalazar7840]

darren motise sorry, but i love it, every time i hear the blooo from the crowd i get excited, good tradition in my eyes

[@squirtle24601]

I love it. Because even if a rival corps decides to boo them, it just adds to the cheering.

[@scottfye1143]

When's the last time you've ever heard booing at that fervour following any kid's performance. Any newcomer who thinks the crowd is booing, is not fit to spectate anyway.

[@kolbycoburn5067]

This sucks

[@russellcollings2002]

You dumbass

[@ActuallyDavo]

Kolby Coburn Thank you!

[@kolbycoburn5067]
