Bluecoats 2019 “Creep” - Canton Audition Camp

“Creep” played by the 2019 Bluecoats hornline auditionees during the November audition camp at Glenwood Intermediate School

[@smartaIec]

Even though I missed call back by 0.4 points, this was still one of the best experiences of my life. There isn't much like playing Creep at _ffff_ with 230 very talented and dedicated brass members, it's really something else. (and I'm now hard of hearing in my right ear)

[@jacobentingh4105]

Alec Ryan I’m sure they’d love to have you back next year, keep going for it!

[@Joseph-nx3ui]

I missed callback by 3 points (I'm a Euph player), though like, it was still a highly enjoyable experience. I've never been able to play with such a large group of people like that, and talented people nonetheless. Hopefully I'll see some of you next year, cuz you bet I'm gonna be trying again!

[@kevinstone9638]

Hope you come back again and try out with the corps. I Marched in 1993 and can tell you that this corps is more than just a drum and bugle corps it is a family. Hope you come back and hope to call you a Bluecoat someday. Lets Go BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@smartaIec]

@@kevinstone9638 definitely planning on it :)

[@komeresiegemaker502]

I don't remember by how much I missed my callback, but this performance will be with me forever.

[@nonchalantree6604]

If our school's band played it, it would sound like Thomas the Train running over New York. Nice job to the auditioners, even if you didn't make it, you still had the chance to perform such a beautiful piece and touch the surface of what being a Bluecoat is like.

[@rileybaughman3310]

Absolutely, I missed the callback by .6 points, but I enjoyed every minute. We started playing at about 10:00 AM, and my private audition was at midnight. I feel a bit cheated, but I would never forget that experience. Here's to 2020 tryouts!

?? i am clearly missing something, what do you mean?

[@littlemow]

Pappy Drone/Airsoft Look at the mello closest to the screen. Her back looks messed up-

[@mrwetframe]

What he is saying is that in marching you should have a straight back (as straight as possible because the spine has a natural curve), but you can clearly see her back is very curved.

[@calebjames9572]

@@Kevin-bw5km i have a feeling that she's definitely underaged...

If you look closely, it actually looks like an optical illusion caused by the jacket she’s wearing. There’s a white logo that matches the floor. Although, she is standing really straight too lol.

[@upsidedownpyramid7617]

I am guessing it will be important for me to get a baritone or euph of my own before trying to join, I am finishing my freshman year in highschool now and I play trombone but I am looking to try to join bluecoats or one of the other DCI when I go to college. I am decent at euphonium, I have played it before, but I don't have one to practice on and I know that is the main instrument for low brass in DCI

[@jacobentingh4105]

Elijah Haveard Definitely try to rent one out or borrow one from somebody. It’s going to be vital that you excel at euphonium or baritone before you go to a camp because that is the instrument that you’ll be auditioning on.

I really want to join a drum corp, but I would have to learn another instrument. I’m a bassoonist, had to learn tenor sax to march (currently a junior in hs) and if I want to ever join a Corp, I’ll have to learn another instrument, probably baritone bc that was what I was going to play before I fell in love with Bassoon.

Hi guys, need some understanding here. I'm from Brazil. We just have marching bands down here as part of school activity for those interested. Your Drum Corps are another level, pro indeed. What are the requirements to be part of an audition like that and what are the benefits for the musician ( besides being called a bluecoat ) since you work a lot for the results? Thanks in advance.

[@rossfromhonolulu]

Beautiful performance but... (to the conductor) how about conducting it like it should be conducted, not in a marching style, but in an concert/orchestral style. I so much would like the ending tempo to be much much slower, and stretch, stretch, stretch, beat 4 to bring tension/resolve to the music. Conducting it and playing it with your "steady" pulse, in my opinion robbed all of what could have been a very, moving performance. Just my 2 cents... band director/conductor for 32 years. Aloha!
