[@cjlorenz3498]

They didn't win because of how cool the show is...or how clean or difficult it was, it was because of Bass 1's beautiful mustache!!!!

[@CBW_MT]

nothing could ever be more correct

[@davidavery7718]

Thank you Bluecoats for your amazing drummers

[@DDrumber12]

isn't there just one?

[@klmsdrummer]

DDrumber12 yep

[@ARZiehm]

*Blue Stars

[@DDrumber12]

yeah thats better

[@davidavery7718]

No there's also a bassist from bluecoats playing bass 2. And that other snare bluecoats guy is center snare so..... where's this blue star?

[@jadenmccallum17]

Top bass is into it bigtime.

[@homierubikscubedude5]

I'm really loving bass 1's faces

[@SDNateDawg]

His name is Julio and I've been friends with him for a long time. He went to San Diego State University

[@dynamicoranges]

xllCHAOSllx He still goes there haha I'm friends with him too

[@JosePerez-yx8in]

The first bass freaking nailed the facial expressions haha.

[@DrumSolVanIsle]

Astonishing discipline & musicianship, with a healthy supplement of theatrics. A superb promotion for percussion! 'Well done' is a mere understatement ...

[@cod4surfer]

2:10 for a second it looked like the tenor on the right is lowering his drums with his mind

[@DatGuyWithNoName]

+Morgan Gutierrez It does! Haha

[@cameronthomas1729]

Every time I watch this it gets better and better

[@jcreech190]

Solid performance guys, really good stuff! Thoroughly enjoyed it, from all sections! Really neat bass feature, never seen before. Great mallet chemistry. Drum set spot on. Good snares and tenors. Two thumbs up!!

[@bilalsmith362]

that second base is freakishly tall

[@mezajv]

I just love 4:10 to 4:20

[@rimenuir910]

Their ballad is awesome!

[@ilikepeace132]

Love this

[@julianbanks9568]

Such a good show! Well deserved 1st!

[@goo37]

Julian Banks You must be a battery person.

[@julianbanks9568]

+Goo I am 😂

[@jmpiper11]

Bass 1 is kinda scaring me...

[@bobduck4351]

You guys have the best drummer from the Bluecoats!!

[@Pickleccine]

Wow. That snare switching was pretty cool.

[@knowbuddy6139]

Awesome, that must take an insane amount of work to put together...

[@genovevahernandez4207]

Amazing, drummers and pit to. #1

[@JakeXLS]

who knew ryan higa marched snare?

[@SHOOTWESTER21]

+JakeXLS are you talking about the one on the far right during the beginning?

[@JakeXLS]

if you mean their left and our right then yes

[@SHOOTWESTER21]

lol hes my schools snare tech

[@SHOOTWESTER21]

i do see the resemblance though

[@JakeXLS]

lmao that's awesome. and yeah. It's whenever they do the head tilt and large smile is when I see Ryan Higa.

[@glitcheurmoneygammer8547]

Letgo

[@klmsdrummer]

The pit and drumset feature after the bass feature at 6:00 is so badass..

[@Sean_McNulty]

6:45 to the end is DOPE

[@claypowell1328]

Not going to lie. I wasn't expecting to ever see Moonlight Sonata in a Wgi show

[@lukebrinks7553]

I'm a tenor and always will be. Upper battery for life. But that moonlight sonata part was absolutely amazing. Can't stop watching it.

[@MrSifkis]

that was amazing holy crap

[@SnareForever]

4:30 awesome xd

[@sureshot1997]

Holy base!!!!!

[@trevorthompson9222]

That awesome when three of the front estimable are your marching band teachers

[@dantaylor7416]

So far, this decade belongs to the Bluecoats. They even change their name and dominate in the winter! The boxed-in bass feature was, arguably, the coolest thing done on vinyl.

[@Xtrovid]

You do know that this organization actually has nothing to do with the Bluecoats right? Add to that the 0 championships of the Bluecoats and an overrated 2014 show, and I don't really get any of your statement.

[@dantaylor7416]

Thank you. Many of the players also marched with the BC's this past summer. Check out the BC parking lot crowd. They are the favorite/most interesting drumline to watch. The writing/style/composition is very similar b/t these two groups. WGI always has an affiliation to DCI, naturally. Whether in direct or direct, they are helping keep chops warm and developed in the winter. Thanks!

[@Xtrovid]

I agree that Bluecoats are certainly a fan favorite! I personally, along with many others, find the technical skill of the Blue Devils more interesting, but I certainly understand the BC love. Sorry for sounding like such a dick in the first comment!

[@yutsi_e]

Dan Taylor Only two people from Bluecoats are in this line. It's mostly people from Blue Stars.

[@BZDrummer1]

DarthYutsi actually 2 quads, 3 snares, and a bass in this line are from Coats.

[@cameronthomas1729]

Anyone else notice bass 3 limping? 4 years after this came out and countless times watching and I'm just now noticing it?!

[@dougswetman6177]

cool

[@lucianomartinez3784]

Fodasticamente foda!!!!massa

[@JeremyJerk]

VERY RIGHTEOUS!! :D

[@joshsotero4354]

6:23 for the snare break

[@Lo0se369]

WoW

[@soccerbballer1710]

the moonlight sonata was unreal wow

[@sonicgem007]

Does anyone know if there might be a transcription of the closer for snare

[@isasireyes2257]

OMFG!!! Moonlight *o*

[@caelan506]

They were on master chef

[@magikalhobo7357]

snare on the right (Kyle) is our snare tech

[@fenechDRUM]

[@datgamerulike4239]

[@dogado4255]

[@brycejohnson8486]

Bass 2 is so tall

[@j_dobb13]

2:27 cymbal player is over there like seizing

[@Kwaspo]

The basses definitely were not the strongest in WGI this year. But still a force to reckon with. Though I give Infinity the crown for bass lines.

[@TheKyleealy]

I'm torn between infinity and x bass

[@Xtrovid]

Definitely X bass.

[@neilcrocker945]

Xtrovid Infinity's bass this year

[@devincrenshaw4865]

What do indoor lines do with old uniforms?

[@cassieballard6204]

They probably get to keep them... I have the past 2 uniforms from my high school indoor

[@putthatida_ap4682]

What's song? 0:02

[@sumbooodeeee]

There are six bluecoats in there now

[@rogueseven]

So both Terry and Ramos were in Pulse? Never knew! :D

[@alexgaeckle1540]

+DrazCraft Ramos, two other snares, one snare (2015), both tenors (one for both 2014-2015) bass 2 is a coat.

[@rogueseven]

Alex Gaeckle Oh, I completely forgot the 2 other snares names, but I didn't even see Mando and TJ on tenors. Forgot about the bass 2 coat as well.

[@michae12320734]

Terry, Richard, Connor, Tyler, have been in pulse since 2013 Richard might have been longer but I'm not sure

[@terry7649]

+MICHAEL SANCHEZ Actually Rich, Tyler, and I all made Pulse in 2012. Connor the year after

[@michae12320734]

+Terry Li true I meant 2012 coming and going

[@theirishasian9473]

Woah, Richard Ramos with Pulse Percussion? I never knew that!

[@AznAfroMan513]

The Irish Asian9 yezzur, he started out with Pulse Open in 2011, made Pulse in 2012 and stayed with Pulse until this year (2015) aging out as center snare.

[@cooldaniel101]

He is a drum tech at my school

[@sumbooodeeee]

I mean 7 bluecoats my bad

[@animeprincess98]

[@jakermac]

[@michae12320734]

Little boxes, it's sung by an older lady but box six alters it

[@BuddergodProductions]

the marimba with the sun glasses (Vince) is my instructor!!

[@michae12320734]

He was mine too!

[@BuddergodProductions]

+MICHAEL SANCHEZ what school?

[@michae12320734]

+MCProd Covina but he stopped with us at the end of 2013

[@chocokat8963]

[@glitcheurmoneygammer8547]

Go mone click

[@shakeedixon4526]

I see Bluecoats..... interesting..lol

[@birdie1812]

the guy on the smallest bass drum looks like such a creep

[@LivingTuBig]

That's his character in the show. It's acting, he just happens to have an awesome sense of theater.

[@Kistang1000]

I want to know who tuned those basses. They sound awful!

[@agitation-free]

why are they wearing matching outfits and being super fake? i dont get it

[@agitation-free]

+Tyler Phillips is this supposed to be like winter guard or something?

[@punishable8340]

+Sindhu are you being serious?

[@agitation-free]

+Punishable Yeah I don't get it, why would they, My girlfriend was in color guard and it was just like his

[@punishable8340]

well, it can be considered similar to winter guard, but instead its only percussion

[@punishable8340]

Every show has a theme/story and they need to portray it through expressions to engage the audience. This show is very inspired by Tim Burton's style which is why they are acting the way they do, this show earned them a Gold medal in World Class finals :)

[@stephensmith6790]

Get over it 1st bass...its ridiculous.
