11:08 the drill writer(s) really showed no mercy on the tubas here. Poor guys.

[@oldschooldrumcorps]

So much choreography for the Brass and corps in general...with all the dancing, set pieces, amplification, electronics, It's like a watching a Broadway musical on a football field!

[@danielseals4211]

That's the idea ;)

@7 Angels 7 Plagues Ding dong your opinion is wrong. Get a life and stop hating on things online.

[@mattmarshall8120]

@7 Angels 7 Plagues you being pissed off by dci entering a new age of era and technology is just you being a shitter because now everyone is using electronics not just Bluecoats so you have to hate on dci as an whole not just one Corp

[@dreadlockbanana]

These are some very in-shape band geeks.

[@coleomalley5097]

Welcome to DCI

[@willhutton1516]

Yup. A guy did a fitness test on one of the drummers, and they saw that they were taking in as much oxygen as an Olympic marathon, and a heart rate that of someone doing a 400m dash. That is insane!

[@Lacheddar1990]

at 9:25 the girl on the far left got rid of a dropped hat by putting two on lol

[@jakebarrera534]

Ya that was CLEAN!!

[@ayolotl4830]

10:44 My god.. the speed and legwork these people had to go through to make this ending perfect... Also, the soloists sounded the best here of any recording I've seen yet

[@RoleplexEdits]

6 years later and still one of my favorite shows!

[@admrotob]

11:20 to the end omg it's raw brass power in your face i love it

[@Jekkin]

That guy who dropped his hat on the right side of the block at 0:57 had a pretty nice recovery

[@Parkerama]

Jackson Two guys dropped their hats. Amazingly enough they both recovered well. I didn't even notice until you pointed it out.

[@captainkiwi77]

Me too actually. I still notice some stuff here and there if a line isn't very straight or something but I don't specifically look for stuff like that

I’d love to live in that house behind the field

[@phanCAbe]

Awesome camera angle and camera work. By far the best rehearsal vid I’ve seen.

[@Multiozark]

I still don't understand how they placed 5th, what a show!!! Very very powerful!!!

I love that show!!!!

[@hatchet_jackdrumhack1819]

Corbin, AWESOME JOB shooting the Video! 99% of Homemade DCI Vids Stink❌. Thanks for Posting ! 😀

[@brown55061]

Someone explain why this show went from winning the first half to finishing 5th. No disrespect but is the judging that odd? I don't feel like they watered anything down and they definitely improved massively like the other corps. Thankfully I don't really watch for the scores but for enjoyment. Just don't like the way the activity is being rewarded, or not rewarded for demand. This was probably the most difficult show in 17.

[@unknownartist113]

brown55061 illuminati- stay the fuck right where you are

[@gdixonyoutuification]

They got Cadeted. Like Cadets in 13-15 came out strong then judges got bored with it and moved on. I can't for the life of me understand how Cavaliers beat this in ANY way.

[@Supernova325]

personal opinion. Everybody's stuff early season is looser and there's a bit of leeway for things not being together. As late season came around, the corps that use a traditional listen back system and stereotypical listening environments kept getting cleaner and cleaner and vertical alignment kept improving. But that didn't really happen for bluecoats because they do so much electronic reinforcement and their pit is so spread out. such an entertaining show, but it never got past "legible" in terms of phasing section to section and entrance to entrance. I'd be interested to see their Music score and how it affected their other scores.

[@Malletdude31]

Peaked waaaaaaaaay too early. Came out of the gate on fire and just had nowhere to go.

[@emmanuelceja4433]

@@Malletdude31 agreed. Their june23rd video is the only Version of this show that matters imo

[@jakebarrera534]

I want to live in one of those houses back there!

[@dannodontsurf]

11:21 poor guy on the right fell next to the contra.

[@Cavin96]

the tenor feature at 3:15, in case if you arent in drumline and dont know why this is so impressive, playing together while 1 yard apart is extremely difficult because it is extremely hard to listen to the other players and play in time

[@1049berkeley]

Still think this show was under rated by the judges

[@jordenpeterkin7322]

I wonder if there are going to be anymore head cam videos

[@G-0]

Jorden Peterkin They always release a ton of content after finals because most of the time they record on finals day.

[@erroneous3493]

tuning on the trombone solo?

[@brandonalvarado6829]

For some reason on finals night, they took the opener way to fast on tempo and kinda ruined the visual performance on their prop. Kinda like if you were bop your head to the music. The tempo on this run to me would have been perfect. Huge fan of the bluecoats and they always got my support.

[@drumhead89]

6:17 To the (baseball) box!

[@funkalicioussilvano3346]

7:29 a guy really flipped his tuba!

[@christiannava9982]

I love the Bluecoats, but what the hell was that ballad? They always pull through with the amazing ballads that really give them an edge and special touch, but this year was not that. Why the hell would you have all that power facing backfield? When I heard them play at the premier I was hoping that they could repeat but then I heard the ballad. Damn. Next year.

[@patrickv.3979]

I read the comment wrong at first. I agree. That powerful horn section could have played that fortissississimo or whatever front-field and TRULY showed the power of the Bluecoats!

[@cocoafox]

tbh them playing backfield is what made the ballad special for me, it gives that sorta echo-ey sound that you'd never hear in any other environment.. and don't get me wrong, having your ears blown out is great and all, but this was something unique and that made it much more memorable that it would've been otherwise, for me

[@captainkiwi77]

Christian Nava the ballad is facing backfield to create that distant echoey effect, and if you want the full power of the Corp that is exactly what the last movements company front, in front of the pit is for.

[@DJ-xs9ki]

Pretty sure it was designed specifically for the acoustics of Lucas oil stadium to bounce off the backfield bleachers and tunnel and create a spatial effect.

[@christiannava9982]

@@cocoafox They didnt do it right then. It didnt have a very good affect if thats what they were going for. Check out Santa Clara Vanguard's 2015 ballad, thats how you create a good spacial effect while facing back field. I love the Bluecoats above most other corps but that year they just didnt have it in my opinion.

[@nikolasrodriguez8874]

Ok but is anyone gunna mention the guy that falls backward trying to catch his hat that the guy through at him cause he dropped it. It's around 1:02.

[@thatoneguy285]

Someone loses their hat at 1:23 and another guy kicks it back to him that was pretty cool

[@maxmeszaros9527]

2:30-4:06

[@Inspadave]

Why do they march tubas if they are going to use as much electronic bass as they do. There were moments in Atlanta where I could not hear the tubas at all, but the e-bass . . . I could definitely hear that.

[@mychannelboyeeeeeeee]

If you can't hear bluecoats contras then maybe you should have your ears checked lol

[@Inspadave]

Maybe they should turn down the fucking amps. The tubas were being drowned out.

[@nathanreno-winters8732]

I mean, how many speakers do they have on that field? It's absolutely nuts.

[@christiannava9982]

In my opinion, Bluecoats and SCV have the best Tuba (technically "contra") sections. At least for the past couple years. But Damn this overbearing electronic bass destroys the power that they already possess (Bluecoats)

[@Milk-rk8ge]

The guy filming was close to a speaker as well so obviously you’re gonna hear it more in this video and they are on the right side of the field half the time, unless you aren’t talking about this run through than I would disagree I can always hear the contras but sometimes tubas are usually drowned out by the the higher pitched instruments like mellos and trumpets

[@HTV-2_Hypersonic_Glide_Vehicle]

11:04

[@NickOnFire1490]

Idk if this run was especially bad, but they had so many mishaps with the hats. People dropping their hats, then other people have to pick up the hats and throw them back... I feel like they had a good idea with using the hats for choreo but took it a bit too far.

[@Umi366]

Some of it sounds an awful lot like down side up, which was what they performed last year, which Sounds great, but I would want something much more different
