Crowd Reaction to Blue Coats and Blue Devils Record Scores 2014

[@brown55061]

It's cool to see even you guys were blown away by the score. Everyone has to give respect for a nearly perfect show.

[@PercEnthDrum]

High or low scores, all of the corps work insanely hard for their shows. No matter what, highest respects to everyone on that field.

[@gentrywalker]

That guy in the front, haha. It's like he watched someone get racked really hard or something.

[@louierippotack194]

The closest to perfection a corps has ever gotten. The only explanation is dedication and hard, HARD work.

[@tredaviousbowser7931]

I think the .65 was an overshot. A 99.5 seemed more appropriate

[@jumpiertech]

Yea but you aren't the judges with years upon years of experience in doing this stuff so i feel like what they say is absolute and everyone else that heard this show seemed to agree with the score that they gave.@@tredaviousbowser7931

BD's brilliant 2014 "Felliniesque" featured an homage to Fellini's chaotic film sets, including actors who show up on set without their pants-- a metaphor for the absurdity of everyday life and the artist's farcical quest to find meaning. The sprawling show was replete with circus performers, dancing show girls with tambourines, soaring 30-foot perfectly-timed rifle tosses in a three ring circus, and a clown, much like Fellini himself, who tries to commit suicide by hobbling off a ledge being continually extended as he approaches, but he is saved only by a mysterious woman in black with an umbrella. At the end of Felliniesque, Fellini's chair remains empty- a Humanist message that there is no deity in the sky who's going to redeem us. We only have the clowns in our own lives to help us muddle through. That's some pretty heavy shit. This is the kind of show that vaults drum corps to the realm of true depth and meaning, leaving other youth activities like cheerleading, symphonies and sports behind in the dust. This was drum corps's finest hour and proof that judges reward depth of concept, above all else.

Usually when someone gets 2nd, the crowd cheers because they realized who got first. Not this time. This was the bluecoat's moment, and all you can hear is the biggest BLOO (2nd to downside up).

[@miyalapeters2720]

a person no one cares bud. you're here for the wrong reason. this is a blue devil's moment. let them have their moment :')

Happened again this year!

[@dylancouch7286]

@@miyalapeters2720 Okay when you say "no one cares" you are very incorrect. When they announced 2nd, you can clearly hear the crowd going "bloo". It was their moment. The Blue Devil's moment is the announcement of 1st place. So let Bluecoats have their moment as well please. Don't discredit hard work :)

[@francoeduardogo]

I think they're screaming "Bloo" not "Boo" just supporting Blue Coats. Anyway, great job for both.

[@homfencing]

Eduardo Franco They're definitely "Blooing" not "Booing."

[@daniel67248]

They're screaming BLLUUUUEEEE. It's a crowd chant

[@maxalvarado726]

Tilt was a show no one will forget, the hype and its effect on the audience is godtier. While doing that it was performed well and was damn clean. Felliniesque was an almost perfect show, but this year was truly bloos.

[@anneeggebrecht5718]

Still BD won, soo....

[@Fire_Beast1441]

Actually I cna back him up on this I asked alot of people what was their favorite and most memorable show they said bluecoats 2014 next to blue devils 2014 they said and I quote "I only remember blue devils 2014 for their record score but bluecoats had everything to give out that year" (that is a basic summary of the common reaponse) so yea bd won but I still think bluecoats had one of the beat shows that year

[@jpringos261]

Well In a logical since the crowds likes blue coats show more and the judges just thought the bds show did better playing wise makes sense

[@estebangonzales139]

Ik iam kinda of late commenting on this but I just wanted to say that Madison will one day be back up there I just know it

[@michaelcollins9715]

I agree, but I honestly think some of the judging is a but unfair in DCI

[@BrianHaag]

+Michael Collins And that's why Madison will _not_ be "up there" any time soon. Madison and their cargo-cult followers know better; they're just waiting for DCI to "come around". Never mind that they've not had a relevant show since 1991 or so....

It was close between bluecoats and cadets. BD and Bloo? Not in the same galaxy.

[@cairnman100]

@Ryandal Gilmore weak af excuse. They’re pretty well funded. They weren’t quite ready for a title in ‘14. Great and entertaining program but not on a level with Felliniesque. ‘15 was a very ambitious program and stepping stone, and it prepared them for the ‘16 title. They simply were a couple rungs on the ladder from the top. The difference between a champion and simply top 3 can be remarkably large.

[@jmelton423]

Yeah, definitely not literally a perfect show...

[@Joshuagt34]

Oh it definitely was, the 2014 show was such an amazing show and the effort put into it was immense. Yeah Tilt was a cool show but The Bluedevils literally made a show that couldn't loose. For judges perfection in every way beats a cool show any day.

[@FudgyTheWhale_]

@@Joshuagt34 perfect visual score yet a guard member dropped…. 🙊

[@Joshuagt34]

@@FudgyTheWhale_ guard dropping equipment doesn’t affect visual score funny enough , it actually helps score over all because it adds recovery points

[@Joshuagt34]

@Ryandal Gilmore sort of, you don’t get points, it’s that you don’t lose points. If you can recover then there’s no affect to the show, thus no reason to take away points. If you don’t, then someone might drip and fall over some equipment if you dropped it. That affects the show this deducting points

Koby Kresse you can say that "my favorite show was tilt," not that all of the judges were wrong in scoring. Every show gets the placing it deserves, not crowd favorite. I trust the judges to score based on performance and not what show was more "likeable"

[@asomefacepro]

DJ Bennett that's bullshit, they shouldn't even call it a show then. It should just be called a "program execution".

tru tho, it is a show for the audience
