A ten year old has a DCI world championship ring

[@MrHidan30]

***** And we all wish we were her... :'(

[@SoundShapeColor]

***** It required a LOT from her to be able to pull of what she did, at ten years old.

[@alonzoperez7729]

she didn't get one she's basically a prop

[@sillymongoose97]

Alonzo Perez No, she's a member.

[@colliewollie1471]

She stepped out of a prop and waved...no big deal.

[@HornlineFanatic]

A week before finals, I was watching a brass-only rehearsal of this at a high school stadium. They were doing a rep of the push at 4:51, when suddenly I realized I could feel the low brass through the bench where I was sitting...and I was all the way back, in the top row! No percussion or electronics. Just raw brass. When they did another rep of that segment, I paid closer attention to make sure it wasn't my imagination and no, it wasn't. A first for me. I love this corps.

+HornlineFanatic You should've heard shows when they were playing G bugles. It was a total buzzing adrenaline rush.

[@Monke2120]

+ShootAndSpin mmmm a rush of poor tone yum

[@JohnSmith-zw2dg]

+ShootAndSpin Don't bring that up. You'll hurt the new kids's feelings. Question... why have a drumline when they can't be heard in this audio? Did they mic the hornline? They're much louder than the drums.

[@EpicMafioso]

I was a crown lover and a BD hater this entire season. Then, on finals night, I sat in the 1st row on the 50 yard line for this encore performance. And needless to say, this corps brought tears to my eyes, made me feel things ive never felt before. This corps deserved it just as much if not more than crown, the precision and the passion that went into this production was so moving that no one could hate the blue devils after watching this performance. Extrenely well derserved devils, well done.

[@madpistol]

You guys can hate on them all you want, but the fact is their show was clean and it won. I personally thought the show was very hip and had a pretty neat grove to it. I think what is neat about the current state of Drum Corps is that there are so many options available to corps show designers that every corps has their own unique ideas now. Blue Devils is not like Cadets is not like Crown is not like Bluecoats. It has made Drum Corps exciting, unpredictable from season to season, and fresh. Hats off to the Blue Devils. You guys performed the hell out of your show!

[@missionvalleysd]

+Mad Pistol When I think of a drum corps that is exciting, unpredictable from season to season I think of The Bluecoats. Their last two shows has transformed DCI IMHO. Having said that, great show BD.

[@madpistol]

+Keith Strahler And I completely agree with you. Bluecoats is pushing the boundaries of what DCI is about, and in the process, they are creating amazing and entertaining shows. That is what DCI is all about. Never the less, credit is given where credit is due. BD won. They had a great show this year that I thoroughly enjoyed. I understand that not everyone likes this show, but they performed it very well.

[@bccadet07]

I was the most impressed with the improvement Blue Devils have made. From the Clifton show in early July to one week before finals, they made some serious strides. You could tell this corps was not as strong as last year performance wise, but they were the most improved corps of 2015. I think a 3-peat is a strong possibility.

[@ipadbossbaby4558]

+bccadet07 Please no. Nothing but respect for BD, but I wanna see someone else win it this time.

[@bccadet07]

+Hayden G Don't we all? I would love to see Bluecoats take it next year, for they are getting closer. And I assure you the judges don't hope for any one corps to win, they only judge by the rules voted on by the corps directors themselves. And if Blue Devils are the best next year and win, it is what it is. If SCV is the best, it is what it is. If it's Troopers, then fine. And I just watched the finals run between Crown and Blue Devils, and I am not picking sides to say I wanted BD to win. Crown had a good performance, but BD had the best performance. No matter who we wanted to win, Blue Devils displayed excellence all the way. Can't argue with excellence. I say the same for the DCA circuit.... Buccaneers have been killing it since 2005 (except 2011), and it's not by accident. I'm not picking sides, I'm just telling it like it is, like it or not.

[@luvslovato]

Sadly the BD get a lot of hate for their constant winning and overall slaying, but everyone at the top gets hate. This show, Ink, captured every single feeling of marching on the field in thirteen minutes. I was privileged to be able to watch them at my high school super early in the season, and cried at the end of the full run. The overall effect at the end of everyone standing up and seeing the color guard and band smile is so touching, and the hugging of the little girl brought mega feels because that's exactly what that show was like: childhood dreams grown up. It had such a level of playfulness and the music was so intense and detailed and overall the entire audience felt exactly what those players and dancers were feeling. Bravo, INK 2015.

[@nickniehaus1763]

Hey I saw finals that year from the 50 3 rows up. Crown was tired, BD was nails. Simple as that.

[@MrDaimed]

When i first heard that BD was going to do a sort of theatre-based show, i purposefully waited until after the season to watch it... i absolutely love it.

[@lucasb3462]

Daisean Brooks wasn’t that 2014

[@lucasb3462]

The ballad was amazing!! I wasn't so happy about the blue Devils winning over Carolina Crown, but I love this show especially the ballad great job Blue Devils.

[@ashleewoods9205]

Although I love me some Carolina Crown and Bluecoats...I gotta admit the passion in this show is truly amazing..congrats Blue Devils!!! ☺👏👏

[@tomeado]

I'm not even there and chills STILL run up my spine every time the brass hits :D

[@Wyatt_Sumner_Musician]

And THAT is the magic of DCI. Great, isn't it

[@00loneX]

I don't really care what the majority consensus over 2015's season is. But this was easily my favorite drum corps show, musically and thematically. I absolutely loved the abstraction of Clara's imagination while she tries to read, understanding what she can and filling in the blanks with her imagination. But on another level, the whole show feels like a celebration of creativity, imagination, and whimsy with an almost youthful wonder. To me, this was far more powerful than any show that just relies on pure crowd hype or a simple success story. Thank you BD for being you.

[@johnythanj]

That was the goal of the show. You hit the nail right on the head. From someone who marched and loved performing this show, thank you.

[@jamesstorey6679]

In the beginning stages, I am in the process of transcribing Rush's "Hemispheres" for the dr um corps idiom....obviously for an elite drum & bugle corps. Seems there is no doubt primarily intended for the amazing establishers &/or coordinators of the epitome of DCI... the cous de gras talents involved with The Blue Devils are the consummate choice for this carefully depicted craftsmanship and showmanship, well-defined and imaginatively extravagant of all outdoor pageantry; complete and true to the composers' artistry with meter and rhythmic and key changes which should, live & in technicolor, tantalize even the most enthused drum and bugle corps fanatics. Or at least this is my imagination and would enjoy any of those familiar with Rush's "Hemispheres".....any idea or input or refusal or possibility that would be constructive in the remotest of feedback is invited.. .?..., Please!!..... This has been at least a twenty-year dream of mine to see intelligently & dynamically performed by non other than the absolute best in original drill constructors & writers in today's drum & bugle corps. Thanks so very much for your approval or disapproval of any of my proposal(s). Email: [e-mail]. or phone [phone]. Living in San Diego County currently.

Folks who troll this and hate on BD... I just shake my head. As a loooooong time Phantom lover, Crown Supporter, and Cadets appreciate -er, I can't not love BD. The passion, the power, the recognizable style, this show undeniably won. Granted, I wish it was Crown or Cadets won this year, BD pulled out that magic - amazing brass (per usual) perfect percussion - as always - and a disgustingly on-point guard. Congrats, again, BD.

[@hturt4]

Awesome performance by an awesome BD corps. This year any of the to 4 could have taken the title because they all were that good. My personal favorite was The Cadets. But kudos to BD for bringing such variety, color, detail, quality, and emotion to the field.

[@nakitastar3000]

This straight out gave me chills, so cool! :DD

At a competition recently, one of the BD staff members who works with the brass was at our clinic. I feel honored

[@530captaincrunch]

Excellent! Reminds me of the old days, Lakeland Lancer Marching Band back in the 70s, Monarchs Wayne, NJ 1970s. Exciting just being there but no other feeling then when you win it!

I tell you what. You guys did yet another AMAZING show. I'm big on DCI (literally the BIGGEST Band Geek in my school) and I absolutely loved those final moments of this show (if not the entire thing). It was really heartwarming to see Clara enjoying herself with probably the best Drum Corps out there. Thanks for another great show.

around 5 minutes the second they start playing shivers and goosebumps just from the chord. tiny phone speaker at 50%. sometimes it's not about the loudness. it's about those 2 cents on the fifth and 14 on the third.

Beautiful performance by the blue devils. Brought tears to my eyes it ranks up there with the beat my heart skips and ghostlight and felliniesque

[@paisius1977]

I will say. Since 2009 I've pretty much hated every BD production. So much so I normally won't even watch the show. This year that was a mistake. I did connect with this show emotionally. The end definitely brought a tear to my eye. Very nice job.

[@keyowilson5695]

The first time I saw BD was in Clifton, July 6th, I think. I was less than impressed....until I saw them at Chester at the end of July and was blown down by the improvement. This was the most improved corps in the top 4, both design and performance. This was not my favorite show like Felliniesque or Cabaret, but I did enjoy this show a lot. Very creative. And yes, they played and marched the hell out of it.

[@trevorkingrey]

ok, let's clear some things up on band competitions in general... what is a band competition to me? a band competition isn't a real competiton to me, yeah, there is first place, best area awards (like best music or visuals) but that's only what those judges think. I think my band is as good as the blue devils, not in how we (my band) and they are into comparison in music or color guard, but in how they express their feelings toward the music. my band is the Monett cub pride band of Missouri and I am fucking proud to be in that band... we got 3rd place 2 times and 2nd 2 times also, made finals once (out of 3 competitions, only 2 had finals, we didn't make the 2nd one) with best music all of those times and recently winning best visuals. those, I'm proud of, but what I'm really proud of, is being able to be in a clique that can provide what I strive for, happiness. a band competition is not a competitive sport in which only the "best" really deserve to be in, a band competition is a place to make friends, express love, and show what real talent you have. don't say that a band with 69 students in it cannot have the exact same love for music as a group of 100+ students in it. don't hate on others just because you think only of what your band does well. love everyone!
