Bluecoats Singing Hymn of Acxiom

Singing the ballad during spring training in 2014. Practicing with the front ensemble, which would eventually be part of our encore performances.

“If you can’t sing it, you can’t play it.” - everyone that played in a drum corps that marched G’s… it wasn’t a gimmick, it was necessary. However, what a rich tradition/technique it left.

What a great bunch of kids.

I adore that bluecoats sings their ballads, and really knows how to sing them too! Do other corps do this? I'd love to hear it.

i marched cascades in 23 and we sang our corps song (imagine) at the end of each performance, but we just sang notes, and we didn't necessarily perfect it, just something to bring us together now matter how poor or well the run went that day

[@skillcheese]

At crossmen we would sing in visual rehearsal a lot of the time, just on dah dah, because we didn’t really have lyrics with the songs notes we were playing but it was wonderful! I loved when we would sing!

Proof that if the music is beautiful enough people will sing anything even if it speaks of pure evil.
