Dark Side of the Rainbow - Colts Drum & Bugle Corps

Breathe (in the air) & On the Run

[@S0RGEx]

What a fucking fantastic show. I'm a diehard Crossmen fan, but I'd honestly be just as happy if the Colts made finals this year instead.

[@iancole2279]

Another foolish miscalculation was that colts didn't make it to finals in 2014

[@pysankyart1477]

I was so fortunate to see this show. Mind blowing, awesome show! Got to say the Judges really made a huge mistake on not rating this show much higher. It was THE BEST use of narration and corp since they started implementation. I was enveloped by the Corp and the Narrator. It was seamless. It was mesmerizing. The music and movements were hypnotic. It was eye and ear candy! I'm telling you this ranks right up there with Star of Indiana's 1992 "American Variations" show. Colts 2014, what a dynamic performance. Thank you from a loyal fan!

[@sarahhobson5263]

Thank you!!!!

[@asiros96]

how the hell didn't this make finals

[@bccadet07]

Best use of narration in DCI thus far.....sorry Cadets.

[@85mello07]

It was the first time a corps used narration to drive the show rather than to "illustrate" or "punctuate" it. This was a ground-breaking show. And there are some wonderfully subtle echoes of T.S. Eliot and other great authors here and there in the script.

[@Zeedles]

Yes

[@rylandcook5301]

These narrations were actually pretty tasteful. Fit the show nicely

[@gheilers]

In my opinion, this is the *only* example of narration in a corps show which actually *works* - and does not detract from the overall performance. Cadets 2014? Sorry - that was soporific. Crown 2013 and 2014? Sorry - those were nauseating.

[@benmurray8903]

Greg Heilers For me, only BK'14 and this worked. I wanted Crown 2013 to work, but... It didn't go perfectly with what was happening. Same with Crown 2014.

[@gheilers]

+Mr . Shakespeare Please provide examples to refute my claim. (For the record...I personally find BK's performances over the past few seasons to be incredibly soporific.)

[@l-3364]

One of my favorites :(

[@josh_611]

Put the full show up

[@albertnavarro67]

At the beginning of the season I really didn't dig this show a whole lot, but as the season went on this show grew on me. Thought this should have made finals.

[@politicalsheepdog]

I like the percussion part at 3:04. I saw them at rehearsal and at the show July 1st and the Naration Worked for this show and the Singer would have worked better if they hadn't turned her mic down. I don't like naration or singers but both worked in this show.

[@IronMarz52]

Never got to see this full show :( Was the entire thing using music from Dark Side of the Moon?

[@IronMarz52]

***** That seems sick! Do you know where I could find a full vid by any chance?

[@bonetonelord]

Steven Gotlib If you're willing to pay for it, the HD version is on Fan Network. Otherwise, there's one on Daily Motion.

[@IronMarz52]

Dash Vader Could you PM me the daily motion link?

[@MarinerNetworks]

Dash Vader Hey could you send that link to me also

[@bobsaget7592]

The dailymotion user who put up many 2014 DCI videos just got all of his videos deleted. However, another user with 2013 shows still has his channel up. There's his channel. www.dailymotion.com/dm_522c81a003b55

[@larrygorman4110]

Old school purist. I HATE these shows that use the PA system and act out shows. Give me the old school - precision marching , wonderful musical arrangements, flag presentation, concert performances.

[@LaceyWright98]

Great show! I love the idea. Does anyone know who wrote the script for the narration?

[@joshuaneujahr823]

Wayne Harris, the storyteller

[@LaceyWright98]

Joshua Neujahr Thanks!

[@jwbmw6084]

A little too much narration, and sometimes it's a little overbearing. But otherwise one of the Colt's best.

[@123brigs]

What happened to the 3rd bass? I saw them in the lots at prelims and he was there for a bit, and then gone!

[@politicalsheepdog]

They lost 3rd Bass to an injury.. They had the relearn the Bass parts the day before finals.

[@85mello07]

Not only was one bass out with injury, I think it was the 4th bass was out there with a hairline fracture. Colts got hit by several injuries the last week. They really showed their mettle by doing so well with some people out and others marching hurt. Great corps and great show this year.

[@85mello07]

Philip Thompson I asked my son (who aged out with them this year). It was the second bass marching with a stress fracture.

[@jsk8drummer]

Really wasn't feeling the vocals towards the end. Especially the part where he drowns out the snare feature. But loved it otherwise. Awesome show.

[@DeathMustard]

Great music, I'm not a fan of the narration though. Couldn't they have just made it a Dark Side of the Moon themed show?

[@dirtinc]

The point of the "Rainbow" in the title was to imply that it was about the Wizard of Oz.

[@nuclearkitten1581]

It wasn't just Pink Floyd, there was a whole bunch of Radiohead's Kid A s

[@chasemanhart]

The narration is nice but theres alot of it, i prefer more actual music haha

[@johns3106]

NOPE!
