The Story Behind The Wink (Bluecoats 2016)

This is a reupload with slight edits to appease the higher powers!
Hope you enjoy a little behind the scenes story about how the Wink of 2016 came to be

[@MrLancealot]

I love how the alumni corps this year did the wink too, that was golden!!

[@MicahtheDrumCorpsPseudoboomer]

Cool fact: That was not the first time a drum corps member had winked on camera. A member of the 2001 Cadets' pit section winked at the camera in Moondance, but it generated nowhere near the amount of buzz as the Bluecoats wink.

The Bluecoats had dci social media on their side.

Academy blew a kiss in 2016, i think that tops both

[@jadynjc]

@@MiraDaWulf yeah but i think that was due to the pressure from this wink 2 nights before at prelims. I guess I haven't seen any videos of academy other than finals, but it seemed like they wanted to ride the trend

[@williamsanborn9195]

And then one of the color guard in the Cavaliers in 2002 winked during Frameworks.

I saw this performance live in the theater and the theater exploded. That was the highlight of the 2016 season! Way to go Shane!

What story? It's just a wink. Does there have to be a story behind it?

[@Sforzando_DCI]

Why not? Some people like a behind the scenes look at one of the iconic moments of the 2010s

[@ResetDoitAgain]

I’m glad they posted this because I wondered why it didn’t show up in the finals video. Turns out it was in prelims.
