The Romantics (Multi-Cam)

[@bradfordwebster3181]

I will never deny the Blue Devils the credit they deserve. This show didnt win but had great ideas, and the performers sold it with a stellar finals run. Excited to see what they create for us next!

[@Diembee]

Kudos to BD for being one of the few corps to actually put out a well shot performance video for us so I don't have to pay Flo Marching breakfast lunch and dinner for two days.

[@cairnman100]

@@Diembee lol. $150 for the entire season, plus all of WGI and fall band competitions, is a drop in the bucket. It’s less than a good ticket to finals.

[@Diembee]

@@cairnman100 yeah… for the whole season. I just want to watch one show. $300 for a massive industrial shipment of chicken nuggets may be a steal, but I just want one piece of chicken.

Excellent work and quick turnaround by the BD media team, and a great showcase of another incredible group of performers from the BD organization.

[@andromedia8453]

I literally cant listen to this in public because the ballad and ending are so beautiful i cry. Sobbing rn. Thank you blue devils

[@exterrorist]

That bass introduction leading into the high brass chord had me in shivers. The Blue Devils have never failed to convert creative writing into someting so fathomable to the audience.

[@hadalzoneee]

as someone who grew up in martinez (15-20 minutes from concord) with the blue devils as my local team, and pokemon black and white being my favorite pokemon games (if that wasn't obvious by my profile picture, lol), this made my absolute LIFE to hear and see. it's so cool.

I am so happy to have the Broken Arrow flugelhorn soloist from 2022 as my cousin, cause he got me in the broken arrow brass circle on performance night. Love BD and they inspire me to keep doing marching band.

[@spectreheavenly]

I would like to add that he was the reason why I pick trumpet. He actually loaned me his own trumpet to use, and it’s still being used after 12 or so years. He is probably the best cousin I could have, and he got callbacks from all the big drum corps, but couldn’t go due to college.

[@KuroShurei]

The opening brass hit is my alarm tone on Wednesdays. I wake up to the beautiful chords of blue devils each and every morning. Monday - Metamorph Trumpet feature. Tuesday - Incident in Jazz from Reflections. Wednesday - This opening hit. Thursday - Tempus blue moon river hit. Friday - To end off the school week, House is not a home from the beat my heart skipped. Saturdays - Opening hit from The Cut outs. Sundays - To start off the week actually not a chord but the snare opening from 2003, the phenomenon of cool.

[@dumbness70]

Who would ever guess howls moving castle, the gen 5 pokemon battle mysic, and oppenheimer would all be in the same presentation about romanticism😭

[@Merlincustom1]

For me, this was the best show. So much majesty and emotion, lovely ballad, the best musical book. I even liked the capes, and if you didn’t, they were gone at 4 minutes.

Just this and drum corp as a whole never gets old. I listen to this and all the old shows when I run and I gotta say that I’ve never enjoyed running as much as I do when I have the blue devils and other corps playing in my ear.

Spectacular performance. Every part done well. Percussion to brass...The flags etc were nicely implemented... Love the uniforms as well. I am an old baritone player from back in the early 80's so I notice the exceptional brass line the most... Lovely job!

[@numarasia]

started at 11.00 I couldn't hold back my tears, i cried so much, The idea and the execution were delivered to a really high level of perfection. You are the gold no matter what. As I mentioned everywhere, the judges seemed to have made up their minds, regardless of how well you've been updated. They didn't seem to notice in order to keep the other band's score higher. All the bands performed significantly well, like Phantom, Vanguard, and Crown.

[@JohnBusinessman]

This is what it felt like for non BD fans during the three peat. BD did have an amazing show but Bluecoats and Boston were just clean. You shouldn’t put down the winning corps just cause they weren’t your favorite. The best thing to do is just support every performer for their excellent work this season

[@numarasia]

@@JohnBusinessman i am so sorry dear, what kind of “cleaner” do u supposed too? Even their guard missed some toss or even flag, the brass even not that clear even in easier chord, the percussion?!!
