Not only is this the highest scoring show ever, they got a perfect visual and General effect score! Their marching and color guard had to be perfect.

[@nochannel1q2321]

@@CourtneyCoulston Much of the sounds from their instruments, you mention, is located on the line that remains still in the foreground. I'm not sure why it's not featured in the video, but here's a couple head cams of the players to check out: www.youtube(.)com/watch?v=5qydgM6KDLs and www.youtube(.)com/watch?v=DHoVXJe-MXY Incredibly fast hands, sometimes with four mallets at a time.

the shapes are called the "Drill" , this is where Drum Corps comes from military style drill, in military you have drill blocks where you march in formation, early 1960s-1970s focused on military style basic drill.

[@Jonathanwyoyo]

@@Themustangturtledude I went to a system blue camp in 2015 and somebody asked about it. As far as I remember, Scojo said that in 2013 Brandon had the hands to be on the line but was so young (15) that they weren't sure if he could handle the mental/physical demands of being on the BD snare line. They encouraged him to get experience elsewhere to be sure he was ready. Also, the Academy is an incredible corps with a fantastic drumline and nobody's talent is wasted by marching there, even if they have the hands to be on a championship line.

[@nadivkaspi6211]

@@dizdawgjr34 That's not true, BD has taken complete rookies before. Maybe for the battery its a bit of an unofficial rule to have some prior experience, but I imagine if you had the hands and the determination and you only marched at an open class corps they might take you

[@samsignorelli]

@ Courtney....the short snare player at the left of the screen at 3:21 was only 16 years old at the time. Brandon Olander has been filmed hanging with the snare line from 2010....on show music...at 12!! He ended up winning 3 championships (would've been 4 had he not taken a year off in 2017 for school), center snare (section leader) his last 2 years, and winning the individual & ensemble competition twice, as well as high percussion. Quite the skills....especially since he has scoliosis.

[@iidentifyasasausagemcmuffi6231]

That rotating straight line at 11:57 was legit just them saying "look what we can do"

[@samsignorelli]

And the significant thing about it is the direction in which the form turned. Usually the corps will form a straight line on a yard line, using it as a guide so the firm starts out straight. Then it rotates to "horizontal" -- parallel to the sidelines. This has the effect of hiding someone slightly out of the form, since it's MUCH more difficult to see that when the line is parallel to the sidelines. However, here the line started at an angle -- no line references during the setup -- and rotated to the vertical. Yes, they ended up on a yard line, but half of the guys were going backwards and could not SEE the line coming up. Even with the exposure of the line moving to the vertical....straight as an arrow. Deceptively difficult at the best of times. Amazing here.

[@nadivkaspi6211]

@@samsignorelli For me its the moment that line hits that makes it probably my favorite drill move in the entire show. Its extremely chaotic up until that downbeat, and their white plumes really do a great job of completely shocking your senses when that line hits.

[@modonn1268]

I became a Blue Devils fan in 1976, the first time I saw them. My favorite show of all time is still their nearly flawless performance of 1980. There has been a certain amount of envy of this corps due to them winning more than any other. There was also a brief period where they sort of went off the rails and lost much of the crowd, doing extremely esoteric and distant shows. However, of all the shows they have ever done, this one was clearly their most deserving win. Absolutely everything clicked, and every detail worked across the board. I saw them two weeks before this in Atlanta and was blown away then. There are corps who transformed the activity, revolutionizing the way they marched, bringing storytelling to the field, changing music, and so on. The Blue Devils are not one of these corps. Rather than revolutionize a certain aspect of the activity, this corps set the bar for sheer excellence. They did it with their first championship in 1976 and never looked back. Over the last 44 years, they have won 19 championships and have never finished lower than fifth place.

[@burdrchitect1680]

Let's not forget 2017. I also would like to add that I appreciate that they do add bits and pieces from past shows. 2017 had me in tears.

I was in Madison that year and I remember watching them from the side on July 3. I think they legit scored somewhere in the high 80s and 10-pointed us at our home show and they still had a month+ left in the season. You just knew after that night that they were gonna win. Even if you were to remove all the politics of show design from the activity, their musical execution was just near impeccable and still easily deserving of the championship.

[@TheWindsofWonder]

This show, "Fellinisesque" was a homage to Federico Fellini, one of the greatest movie makers in history. The show designers captured the feel of a Fellini set, so if you look closely the entire thing feels like a movie set with the guard as the crew and company. I remember seeing this show live and being blown away. You could definitely that this year was a year filled with more talent than usual. And they're always super talented!

First time my school medaled at state for nearly 30 years.

[@gunner-qf9eh]

Story time. I was at the Glendora CA show, June 2014. There was this older couple maybe late 50s early 60s. Super nice couple very friendly. They were on a DCI tour traveling around the country seeing shows. They had just flown in from Pennsylvania i believe, where the previous night they saw the Bluecoats "Tilt" show. The couple was telling us how the Bluecoats are on fire and the Pitch Bend is amazing etc. Just raving about the Coats and rightfully so. Then a few hours later, Blue Devils and Felliniesque took the field and just tore the house down. When they finished to a standing ovation, the couple just shook their head in amazement, and told us they had spoke too soon lol. They said BD is going to win it all as no show on planet earth to include Tilt is coming close to Felliniesque. The couple gave some final well wishes and left. And the crazy part was BD didn't perform last that night, SCV did! They didn't even stay for Vanguard. They had seen all they needed to see. And they walked away saying the same thing alot of us was saying that night.............Felliniesque is the greatest performance i have ever seen live.

You've really gotta come to the 2021 DCI Championships, sadly the 2020 season was cancelled so everyone is really going to be bringing Thier A game in 2021. The theme of this show is pretty much a summery of the movies made by the movie director known as Fellini. This is pretty much showing the vibes you get from watching a movie directed by fellini. You'll also notice the stuff that sounds "electronic" sometimes things are played with electronic stuff like synth pianos and electric guitars and bass's.

Ik right, I think it definitely paved the way for their future shows being more for the audience as well which I really like

[@dre6582]

They were insanely clean this year. That 99.65/100 was earned. Basically they only missed .35 points out of 100 scoring perfectly in Visual, General Effect, and Percussion if I recall correctly. The shapes you referred to are called drill. The blue devils are widely known for being one of the cleanest corps year in and year out. Another thing that’s cool that you might pick up on as you watch more DCI is that each corps has a signature sound. Blue devils utilize screamers a lot and use jazz harmony in many shows, resulting in a top heavy sound. Santa Clara Vanguard is known for their aggressive, punchy sound which comes from their midrange brass (baritones and mellophones but especially the latter). Crown is known for their sonorous, symphonic sound that is very balanced across the entire ensemble. There are many different approaches to brass writing and I really love all of them

[@nadivkaspi6211]

Percussion was actually their lowest caption, averaging a 19.6 between the 2 judges. SCV won drums that year, and at finals they got an average of 19.75. If BD had gotten SCV's score at finals they would've had a final score of 99.725

The Cavaliers has an awesome show from 2010 called Mad World. Definitely recommend that one!

[@quincyrobert691]

its called drill and they nailed everything marching wise

[@cflash2785]

Wow I'm loving these reaction vids to Drum Corps :). SUBBED. This isn't my favorite show but it IS however one of the cleanest shows that I can think of. Props to them and that score. Well earned. People just dont know how hard it really is to make a simple looking block or line formation let alone circles while doing all this. It's realllly hard.

My marching tech was the second euph soloist in the ballad of this show!

[@nadivkaspi6211]

No way thats rad! That is my go to example of the BEST marching Euph tone I've EVER heard in my entire life.

[@whodat1967]

A good one to do would definitely be Carolina Crown 2013!

BD did use a lot of old-school drill ( late 1980's to late 1990's ) in this program. They used rotating boxes ( 1-4 groups of 16 MMs rotating 90° ), box peel-off ( 25-36 MMs rotating and peeling off outer side of square ) , and line geometry ( lots of small lines of MMs rotating and breaking off or coming together. ) BD came out so strong at the beginning of the year and there was no way to go but up from there. There were some minor problems in the finals performance that should have resulted in a few more tenths deduction but, with 2nd place being 2 points behind, those little mistakes wouldn't have changed the outcome. Here is another term for you... Goo. Goo is the word we use for all of the low sound reinforcement used in this program generated by synthesizers and not the actual Contras/Tubas. They only march 8 or 12 Contras, so they use a little more goo than other corps that march 16. The last video I watched mentioned trumpet screamers ( trumpet playing extreme high notes ). BD usually has 3 or 4 that can hit the stratosphere in any given year.

She's hooked on DCI

5:35 I'm not sure if you're still reading comments but watch how the form moves to include the soloist walking away from the microphone

[@willrobinson1482]

This was the best show ever, score wise. The show “Babylon” you watched earlier was the 10th best show ever. Whoever is sending you shows is picking good ones

[@lokineverfolds]

7:00 is to die for 😭😭😭

[@Gavala65]

I love all of your DCI reactions!! Please keep doing them! Your reactions are always so so genuine and I love watching you go further down the rabbit hole of the marching arts!! Here's some of my reccomendations~ Santa Clara Vanguard 1989 Bluecoats 2017 and my two all-time favs, Cavaliers 2001 and Phantom Regiment 2019!! anyways, keep up the great work!

[@cru8595]

Courtney be careful Drum Corps can be very Addicting....glad to see you enjoy so much.

[@debsreno911]

Hey Courtney I know you get a TON of recommendations but I got one in the same theme as what you're currently doing, which is go pros on marching band members, just to see how perfect they have to be. That is if you haven't already done that?

[@tuttiflooti]

The first time I watched this show I lost NNN

[@PugCuber]

Felliniesque’s score of 99.65 absolutely amazes me every time.

[@hunterbraun5273]

Carolina Crown 2016

[@JordnV_8]

YESSSSSSS

[@ThereaalSP]

OH MY GOD YES SHE DID IT

[@jck1794]

if you haven't yet, try to find the Cavalier's show from 2011 called XtraordinarY. I think you'd love some of the things the drums do in that one ;)

[@MrLambo234]

The 40 trumpet fanfare will never not hit differently

[@markyochoa]

WOOOO I also requested this.
