Bluecoats 2022 (@ Naperville Central HS)

[@jesuspectre9883]

This production far, far exceeds any other this year in professionalism, in content, in accessibility, and in sheer wonder. The visuals are entertaining, dazzling and thematically aligned. Spectacle. Story. Humor. Intensity. Innovation. Depth. Broadway quality.

I agree Jesu. I agree. One of the best shows i've ever seen to be so complete this early on.

[@amandac4554]

How is nobody talking about the absolute BOSS that is playing a KEYTAR!? Are you kidding? Coolest addition ever. I 100% want that guy’s autograph!

[@m.little]

I think Ryan Jacobs is his name :)

[@jesuspectre9883]

He marched mellophone during the rest of the show! Unbelievable talent.

[@m.little]

@@jesuspectre9883 proves that mellos are one of the superior instruments 😃

I'm a huge Blue Devil fan, but it wouldn't bother me at all if this show won gold at Indianapolis. Really digging this stylistic niche that Bloo has carved out for themselves.

[@euphed_up]

awesome! thanks for the vid

[@SamuelmMorales]

I like the drum heavy part at 4:38 but I wish they toned down the trumpets that played through the speakers so you could feel the heaviness of the drum part more

[@jordantyler148]

It used to be much softer, I would expect further adjusting.

[@lesliegompf7163]

Thanks for this!

[@danny5345]

wait they have two drum set players?

[@RoycePercussion]

Heck to the yeah they do!

[@griffin8er845]

That closer needs to be fixed cuz it sounds too ballad-like what they could do is have the drum set player just start going crazy (with an actual double time rather than what is happening right now) and kinda crank him there and it would sound a ton cooler

[@squillz8310]

Part of me still feels like they don't have the entire show yet. But they're gonna keep changing things until maybe end of July or early August.

[@griffin8er845]

@@squillz8310 yeah true but it’s just if you listen to the second half of the actual song “The Garden” when the drums come in, it really sounds like it would be a great closer

[@SunsCam0531]

Because that's still the ballad

[@griffin8er845]

@@SunsCam0531 no it’s not. Their show is 12 minutes long, if they added another part, they’d be over the time limit. I guess removing an entire minute of their show would fix the issue and they could add a closer but they aren’t going to do that.

@@griffin8er845 I mean they low key did that in 2019

What’s with the Elon Musk prop?

[@euphed_up]

that’s not elon musk, apparently his name is Lou, he ties in with the narration throughout the show
