Absolutely splendid blending of the visual with the music there, with all the visual elements in perfect balance for great aesthetic effect. Performing the hell out of it right now, too. Way to go!

I'm with @nicksipich1024....early-ish season, east vs. west judging going on here. I was at Ft. Collins for the BD show last Sat night. Great energy from BD. Brass blew it out of the stadium. Scores just don't compare yet. BD drumline even with Crown? Bluecoats brass that far ahead? C'mon folks. Having said that - I LOVE THIS BLUECOATS SHOW! They've been second more times than I can remember save Phantom back in the day. May just be Bluecoats year, which wouldn't suck. I'm a total Blue Devils fan but the "Tilt" year the 'coats got robbed. I'd love to see them win one.

I don’t like to compare shows to other corps’ show but this show compared to itself from previous Bloo shows, seems to work less is more, and originality with great songs and audio accompaniment. This is more than a really good entertaining Bloo show but one that evokes emotion. It is not same ole; same ole like other shows. This is new, different, innovative, and should be rewarded accordingly.

I really believe this year is Bluecoats' to lose. Boston could sneak in there, though. I don't know about BD, they're still awfully dirty compared to Bloo and BAC. I wouldn't underestimate BD though, and I really also like their show as well so this year it's a win/win for me. If Bluecoats win it, my favorite show won. If BD wins it, a show I really like won. If BAC wins it, a show I like for the most part won.

[@orangedoorsbooking1361]

I don not understand the hype for this show. Yes they are clean, but like ten quarter notes at the beginning? Could it be any more basic? I don’t care if the pit person on computer adds echo and delay to the mic’ed horns. They’re still literally playing quarter notes. As an opening statement. At the end of their opener. And at the end of their entire show. Like who couldn’t do that? Super lame

[@fredhoppe5906]

Boring!

[@BluesClues2s]

So you're just ignoring all the not-quarter notes happening between the quarter notes you are apparently so mad about? Such as the almost wall-to-wall 1/8 note triplets at 172bpm while on the move, for most of the opener? Btw the echoey repeated Bb chord is their motif from Change is Everything by Son Lux. They are pretty up front about what pieces of music they're using in the show and you can go listen to them. If you watch the show more than 2 minutes they display tons of musical lexicon and move between lots of different styles of music that is all quite difficult. Simultaneous responsibilities, wide field timing collaboration, polyrhthyms, there's a lot going on for the performers. Nothing wrong with a couple quarter notes sprinkled in there as a way to ground the show in simple musical motifs

[@orangedoorsbooking1361]

Triplets at 172 for most of the opener? Lol most of the opener is Foreplay by Boston. Everything you listed is basically what makes marching band..marching band haha. Wide field timing collaboration? Polyrhythms? Simultaneous responsibilities? Those are literally done in every drum core show like ever..? There is always a lot for the performers to do. None of that takes away from the decision to start and end a piece with quarter notes, and then your entire show. It’s boring and easy plain and simple. I don’t know a highschool band that couldn’t have that clean in a day or two.

If the judges judge honestly we could see many things. If BAC or Crown drop the ball, BD will get higher than 4th. Idk why people think that BD can't actually outperform other groups. If Bloo wins it'll be because they earnt it, not because the judges were honest, or lying.
