Bluecoats 2019 Half Time Performance at Pro Football Hall of Fame Game

[@booman00]

I don't think many people realize the amount of talent in front of them

Yes talent, but it takes more than talent. Practice for them is insane. That is pure dedication to their craft

This is the best “Marching band”(as far as the crowds concerned) they’ll ever see in their entire lives.

[@nicholasgiampetro782]

Considering they are one of if not the best marching band in the world your statement holds true for anyone who watches them regardless of how much of a band person they are.

[@Wambomusic]

This is one of those rare occasions where the crowd isn’t blooing at the end.

[@Zmar.Racing]

Yeah I just found out this was a halftime not a dci competition

[@mattdeveer3102]

lmao a couple of us were

[@Ace_v120]

there's actually another perspective where the person who was filming and people around were him saying bloo

[@drummersnare6276]

Instead they’re booing

[@fondleballsxi]

Around 2:00 you can hear someone scream “BLOO!”

[@echowood1732]

I love compairring these football game halftimes to actual performances because the crowd reacts way differently.

[@justinwittmer7941]

Quite a smaller scale here, but Ima percussionist in my high school’s marching band and I can sometimes barley even hear the rest of the band during halftime shows because the crowd is talking so damn loud...

[@tomaneyy]

people just don’t understand because they can’t always make out the music. that’s the fun of dci you almost never know the music but it makes an incredible impact

[@gavcat1062]

Yeah because they came there mostly for the game while if you go to a dci competition the audience will obviously have came for the bands so it would be a louder crowd I think.

[@eddiewiththe_ie]

NOBODY IS SAYING BLOO, THEY HAVE NO IDEA LOL

[@JM-kc8ip]

Honestly first time I heard that I was confused but last show I saw of hem you could tell who was new to DCI cause they looked so confused when everyone shouted Bloo. They think we are booing them.

[@Ccern]

Eduardo Lopez ok, Eduardo

[@jace123453]

well most of the crowd came to watch football so dont blame them

[@eddiewiththe_ie]

I know but it is so shocking to just not hear Bloo

[@ecuber6878]

Lol my brother was there and was saying Bloo 😂 he said it was awkward

[@nicholasgiampetro782]

I wish drum corps went to NFL and other sporting events to play half time more often. it would really expose the brand to a larger audience and help grow the competition. Only reason most of us know that DCI even exists is because we were in a marching band ourselves. Prior to my first year in marching band I had no idea DCI was an organization that existed and wish I had known sooner because they are just amazing.

[@edmadam1]

I made this exact comment in a reddit forum and got skewered for it, it seems they almost want to keep their activity niche and out of the limelight of big industry. I too think it deserves more exposure because with that comes more opportunity and recognition that they so rightly deserve.

[@thanosmaster-abel559]

@@edmadam1but it’s also Reddit

[@Youngy]

It's so sad because nobody realizes how much talent is in front of them like Booman said. They prolly think "wow that took a lot of effort for just this game." When in reality they have no clue about the effort it takes to do this show multiple times for contest.

[@lucyg8970]

Thats just how it is, you don't know the how hard just marching band in general is until you've done it yourself

[@ineedanap8300]

You would think a stadium full of drunk people would react a bit more than this if not for anything else at least for the Beatles

[@neilpalmer5577]

Not really, if you havent seen anything like this before you would probably wonder what the hell is this about. Also not everyone likes the Beetles.

[@meanathradon]

It's a very awkward show outside of DCI shows... and yea.. not everyone likes the Beatles.

[@stevechrollo8074]

Lol it’s not hype unless you are a musician

[@shep7544]

They could give the crowd the best banana bread of their life, but the crowd still won't like banana bread.

[@jesuspectre9883]

The terrific Bluecoats soloists seem to be playing with great abandon during this performance-- they're so in the zone. In a lot of ways, the soloists are more free here than they were at finals.

Blue Devils may have taken the title but they got this

[@jamesludwig6743]

@Matthew Johnson Don't get me wrong it would make more sense for the champions to do this performance however this is a football game, Bluecoats' show is more fitting for a setting like this so I believe that is why they performed instead of The Blue Devils.

[@danielseals4211]

@Matthew Johnson ​ The reason Bluecoats performed in this is because the Pro Football Hall of Fame is in Canton Ohio, which is where the Bluecoats are based out of. Nothing to do with rings.

[@NicoCrossberg]

Daniel Seals Also this happened weeks before finals

[@JoelZapata1]

[@masonchappell7936]

Its so disrespectful that football players will come on the field, and do stuff when one of the best bands are performing. This happened at my school, and the football player got ran over and made a huge deal about it. Screw those football players who do that.

[@TheUltimateGamingMachine]

To be fair in the this case the blue coats are just a guest. It's not like highschool or college where each group has equal claim to the field.

[@Youngy]

You're right ultimate, but it's still disrespectful to interrupt a performance. At least remain on the sideline until they've exited the field.

[@TheUltimateGamingMachine]

@@Youngy no you're right it sucks but that's kinda how it is

[@clarinethro1695]

Well its thier fault lol wait your turn

[@andrewkerr2571]

This happened at my school, and the next day our band director brought the player to our rehearsal and made him apologize in front of the entire ensemble before practice started. I'll never forget it.

[@stubbyt34]

So strange and rare to see a drum corps performing for an audience that otherwise wouldn't know or care they existed. "Wow they threw together this marching band together during the summer?"
