The hey Jude prediction was crazy😭

I'm gonna be honest, once you've seen the video of Paul McCartney singing Hey Jude Live in Hyde Park, and you see the Magic that happens when he drops the music out and just let's the enormous crowd sing, you understand very well that there is no other reasonable choice when you have a crowd to utilise 😉

@@TheCharlieSmithChannel If you thought ending on "Hey Jude" was emotional here, you should watch their 50th Anniversary Corps show from 2022. The entire production is, much like this show was meant to be, a celebration of The Bluecoats and the reward for being a fan over the years, but MAN it just hits different with 300+ alumni playing their hearts out for the final time.

There were 19 different Beatles songs in the show, and one of the caveats of using the Beatles music was that they couldn't mix a Lennon/McCartney tune with a Harrison tune simultaneously. This is my favorite Bluecoats show of all time. Glad you found it and were able to make a video about it!

Best DCI reactor on YT! 😊 Hey Jude wasn't the original ending for the show, but it was probably the worst kept secret in drum corps that summer that it would be by the end of the season. LOL I too am a huge Beatles fan and a few weeks before the end of the season, Bluecoats director Mike Scott filmed a video talking about a change coming to the ending. I knew what he was going to say well before he said it and I had the same reaction you did... instant emotion. Always been one of my very favorite tunes. A few days later, I was at a show and saw Hey Jude live for the first time and some people around me saw my Bluecoats alumni shirt and tried to talk to me about I must be a proud alum and I was physically unable to form words. Getting to play that tune 3 years later in the Bluecoats Alumni Corps was incredible! 😊 The movie "Something" came out that Summer as well, so between that and this, all I listened to was the Beatles for months and I wasn't a bit mad about it.

This show will always hold a special place in my heart because as a Freshman in high school, the Bluecoats stayed and rehearsed at our school, and we got to watch them. It is extraordinary to be able to see shows like this one get put together.

God, this show was awesome. This show was a Beatles show! Self titled in honor of their self titled album. Their rendition of Elanor Rigby is incredible! Them compressing that "blob" of performers during the first big moment of that piece is so effective. If you're able to, use the Archive to watch their 2021 show "Lucy" as it was a continuation of their Beatles era. 2021 was a non-competitive season, but Lucy was a phenomenal show as well. SO happy you're watching this one! My mom has always loved the Beatles, and so I too grew up listening to their music. This show reminds me of my mom. Also, the Blue Stars 2018 show "The Once and Future Carpenter" reminds me of her because they use the music of The Carpenters, who my mom also loves.

Gotta hop in~~ I was on vis staff for Bloo this year and it was a lot of fun! Being on the field for finals and watching the crowd give the same energy back to the kids was unforgettable! Doug Thrower, the composer for Bloo, is a biiiiig Beatles Fan and can go into a dissertation on the Beatles at any given moment 😂. Someone said it below, but to reiterate, it’s self-titled to allude to the Beatles self-titled album. The show is a reflection of the Beatles timeline (the props and main costumes go from black and white to color like television did during the Beatles era) and also a reflection of the Bluecoats design team era (the trumpet loops and drill is 2015, they do subtle 2014 choreo in black bird, 2016/2017 choreo references in come together, there are some other 2015 choreo references sprinkled throughout, etc.) I love watching your reactions! It brings back the memories of the first time watching or performing these shows and I’m tearing up right next to you 😂

This was a fun show! To your comment about the platforms moving under the performers, I’ve heard it’s actually kind of terrifying to be on top of one of them while they’re moving. I had a friend who marched Bluecoats 2017, and their main prop was one giant lightning bolt-shaped platform that at one point had the entire brass line playing and doing movements on it, and the entire thing would shake under their feet with every move they made. It really tripped the performers out at first. Also, WOW, that Hey, Jude prediction was CRAZY, dude lol. Has anyone recommended Cavaliers 2002 yet? I think the drill will blow your mind!

Check out much of Doug Thrower’s work. He’s been the brass arranger and composer at Bluecoats for many years. I actually thought this show was going to be his magnum opus, but I was wrong he’s still going strong and killing it haha. Tom Rarick has been the percussion arranger and composer at Coats for many years too. And the Thrower/Rarick combo truly is something magical. Their musicality, and the way they play off each other is just absolutely incredible

One of my favorites, not all one artist, but one tied throughout the show: 2011 Carolina Crown - "Rachstar" - the music of Rachmaninof mixed with various rock anthems.

Featuring one-ish artist in a show is a lot more common than you think, but you'd definitely have to be in the know sometimes. Carolina Crown did this in a few shows you've already watched, 2012 featured a couple movements from Bertrand Moren's "Dreams" in-between the Copland features, 2015 started and ended on Beethoven's 9th. It's hard to string together a collection of pieces by a single artist without sounding like you're just playing an album/symphony/concerto/etc, but done effectively like the Bluecoats did here, magic can occur on the field.
