This goes down as my favorite show in dci history, I love the way they remember the Beatles with this show

[@benlemmings1085]

I 100% agree with you, everything about this show, the music, the drill, this was everything I could want in a show, and there's nobody but Bloo who could pull this off. It fits them, this show is everything I think of when I think Bluecoats, and the finals run inspired me than any other performance I've ever seen. I would have had them first that night, on performance and content, but that's just my opinion. Every kid out on the field that summer is a champ, and they should be proud of the work and the performances, but I hope these kids remember this show for the rest of their lives. I know I will

Alex Alonso Same! I’m not a huge fan of The Beatles but I kid you not, when I saw these guys at the premiere, my jaw *dropped.* The Bluecoats is easily one of my all time favorite shows because of this! 🙏🏽

[@KalilOlsen]

Same here. They got some hate for this show and I don’t understand why. Prob #1 or #2 on my list from last season. And up there of my favs of all time (that I’ve seen haha)

[@averyjackson8470]

Kalil Olsen It got hate for easy drill, and for the “cheapness” of using the beatles as a concept. I’ve personally grown to like it more. During the season, however, those are the opinions I heard fellow marchers bring up. Admittedly I held my own frustrations with the show as well, but those opinions are shifting.

Shawn Leslie Crown’s brass is cleaner, but you can’t deny Bloo’s flair. I honestly would have had them 1 and 2, Bloo being number 1 as they have a vision for what they want their corps to be and they are undaunted about it.

[@ryan_1314]

1:20 I'm just watching this now but IS THAT A REFERENCE TO KINETIC NOISE????? I get that it's just a trumpet ostinato that evolves but if that's what the arrangers were thinking off when writing this part that's absolutely cheeky and I love it!

[@ThePMcDonald]

Isn't it amazing that the genius of the Beatles is LOOKED-DOWN-UPON by a large part of this community?!? Very much how this nation looks down on the genius of Sousa and his marches, while the REST OF THE WORLD recognizes the gift given by The March King. Who would they RATHER be explored?!? Michael Jackson?!? Spice Girls?!? Spike Jones?!? More Holsinger, Mahler and Barber -- year after year after year after friggin' year?!? I'm not always enamored with the treatments of this portfolio by the Canton unit over the years ... but at least they look for genius where it lives, as they return to the gift from Liverpool time and again, to continue to educate the masses of the layered revelations of John, Paul, George & Ringo (when Dave Grohl worships Ringo, maybe percussionists should back up and STUDY the sagacity of Starkey)

@@aaronlaughlin2389 The props in Ghostlight were easily one of the best use-wise. There was rarely any time that they weren't being used or moved around, and the wall props were the best props that got put on the field over the summer. Bluecoats had way too many props that were barely used, specifically all of the tarps that were only used as a slight visual flair that got old after the first time. It's okay to have a lot of props, but a lot of props needs justification, which a lot of bluecoats props did not have.
