Late season, early afternoon, indoor long warm-ups are the best. Easy on the body, everything's too loud to tell if it's clean, just enjoying the atmosphere. Awesome video.
It's crazy, cause when I was younger I watched and enjoyed the drums(snares, tenors) the most. But, I love watching the pit now. It's amazing how good these marimba players are these days.
Gotta say, I played snare for years. marched DCA, attempted to try out for crown and bluecoats barely didn’t make the cut with Crown and then couldn’t afford Bluecoats at the time(I’m 25 now), and haven’t played in 2 years. Videos like these that you’ve made has inspired me to get going again. I miss it so much! Thank you!⚒🙏🏻
This whole video helps me really appreciate this activity and the amount of time, skill and aptitude it takes to play this fast and clean. I really look up to these guys, and all the other dci lines. I'm working right now to get to this point with a dci line and I'm looking forward to taking part one day.
@@bread_girl_jane Never did. I ended up auditioning twice for the Cavies but felt my life leading me in a different direction. I still drum and enjoy following DCI but it's def a thing of the past!
THANK YOU SO MUCH GRID BOOK SERIES FOR MAKING SUCH A BEAUTIFUL VIDEO! I've literally been waiting for someone to create a video like this for the bluecoats my whole life
You are so welcome!! This means so much! We worked really hard putting this together and comments like this make all the time invested worth it! Thank youuuu! :)
Im always so impressed with the mallets players. Just crazy how they can know the music so well that it’s just muscle memory and they don’t even need to look down to see where they’re playing.
Nice! My dream is do part of BlueCoats, The Instrument that i play is snare, i'm teacher of percussion in my band, Sorry my terrible english LOL I speak basic english why i'm brazilian and have 15 year old...!!!
43:05 I remember going down the slide when I was a kid only to hear that noise and realize that I destroyed my legs and also my mans at 1:27:24 just full on tisms out lmao
DatK9 lol yeah, we have a stick toss later in the show, and there were a few run-throughs (including this one) where I forgot to give him a stick to throw to me
My dreams to be in the bluecoats, and I’m currently an upcoming sophomore from Gphs. A lot of my friends have told me that I have potential, so I’m gonna do my best to join!
That is awesome! It takes a lot of hard work, patience, and learning from mistakes, but the reward of marching is worth it! If you ever wanted some professional help we have an online school of percussion where we help people join DCI. You can even learn from and work with a Bluecoats Drumline staff member John Lluvera who is Co-Founder of the school. Learn more and enroll here: www.gridbookpercussion.com/ Good luck and remember to always have fun on your journey!
1:34, yeah dude in the Michigan shirt! Go Blue, plus I want to become a Bluecoat too! Oh, one more thing, my dad used to be a Bluecoat and he saw your post about driving with you guys on tour and he signed up for some dates, so I'm going on tour with you guys this summer!
Thanks so much! It was fun making this! We are a percussion education company so our main focus is percussion, but in the future it would be cool to expand and showcase the other sections! Thanks for the suggestion!
44:56 Do you still have the full footage from this camera angle? I'm trying to transcribe the front ensemble music, and this is the only good angle of the Xylophone & Crotales that I've found.
If you never marched in a drum line in high school or college then you can’t have a true respect for what these guys do. It’s unbelievable. Especially the bass line. Sometimes I think they have the hardest job.
this is like 98% percussion just a fore warning. I was hoping for brass warm ups and stuff. I don't want anyone to waste their time if that's what they wanted.
We have considered adding brass and color guard to our videos! We are a percussion education company, so we make these videos with a percussion focus. But we do enjoy the other sections and would love to add them to the video! However, the videos usually run about 1 - 1.5 hours, so we might make one of these separate but for each section. Once we have a bigger team, this is the goal! Stay tuned and thanks for watching!
1. Any other folks watching in 2020 during Corona? 2. Are there any female band leaders/instructors in these elite ensembles? It seems like I never see them. 3. Bass splits always blow my damn mind!!!
Unfortunately we did not get the opportunity to record the 2017 Bluecoats. We were only able to record the Boston Crusaders for the 2017 season. We hope to have that video out in the next few months. Stay Tuned!
Maybe check your connection? Watched on a few different devices and different internet connections and there are no sync issues! Thanks for the heads up!
*Friend "yo what movie ya wanna watch?" *
*me gives friend mischievous smile*
YASSS! Love this comment! Watching this with friends who enjoy the activity as much as you do is magical :)
I know, right?!! I love the quality and inspiration these videos offer. You'll never cease to amaze me!
When the Front Ensemble did their run-through, who else heard the rest of the show in their heads?
Eren's Lost Arm especially at 31:40 lol
Alex Hernandez of course there lol
Yep from a former marching band member i have always heard it
They may not be the cleanest line out there, but they're definitely one of the most expressive and fun to listen to. No shortage of creative ideas.
Casey Hodgin Who is the cleanest?
Kamahari Ma scv, Blue Devils, recently Carolina Crown
As of this year, the cleanest lines were SCV, Blue Devils, Boston Crusaders, the Cadets, and the Coats
BD was def not the cleanest line or close to it
Gavin Blackshear crown was fucking clean
Nice thumb roll Max. 1:05
Nate Klump don't you know who Kyle is?
Aww Kyle why you got be so mean to Max? And why aren't you at rehearsal?
Lmao Kyle (RIP Max)
Whoops
Nice plus one Kyle lol. 39:34
"you know what Napoleon? you can leave" best ending ever lol

After almost a full day of exporting this video,We finally have this gem.
I bet they appreciate a comment from the known drum corps fan, lil uzi vert XD
Lil Uzi Vert sumthin tell me this ain’t actually uzi
@@liveuntouchable9239 nah he's real
34:00 Random passerby is just like "who the hell are these people?!"
You'd be surprised how many people do that, sometimes they think corps are the area marching band.
If they are anything like I was, they didn’t know front existed in a marching band or drum corp setting
SO to the fly at 40:57, perfect timing
Looks like they gave a fly a contract
Nailed the ending phrase!

That's my dream. To have the skill, time, and money simply for one season as long as i'm eligible.
same, ima stry out for stryke percussion next season andd im 14 lol
did you ever make it?
@@bread_girl_jane Never did. I ended up auditioning twice for the Cavies but felt my life leading me in a different direction. I still drum and enjoy following DCI but it's def a thing of the past!
People have NO idea the incredible amount of time , practice AND talent these individuals devote to their art.

?
That was the fastest 1.5 hours of my life xD
Did anyone else catch the sick stick toss between the snares in the beginning of the run through ???
jojo puppet studio saw that. I wonder how they knew they were gonna do that
time though?
1:26:10 "OMG ITS SO MOIST! "
thank you for finding this
The Atlanta lot is so freaking excited 😂
I'm a brass instructor, how did I end up here? I just watched the whole thing.
Lol, Right! The process alone is pretty cool to watch! Hoping we can add brass to the mix in these videos soon! Thanks for watching!
Watched that ending cutscene like it was a marvel movie lol
Killer video guys! Thank you for creating such awesome content for the drum corps community!
Thanks Nathan!!
i remember Roger telling someone to shut the fuck up in this lot lol.
XD
Lol what was that person saying?
He was just being a loud drunk idiot
He was just being silly and got carried away. He wanted to finally hear the "Book" story time is all he wanted heh heh.
is it bad i was trying to guess who he said stfu to during the lot portion of the video. lmao
The ending was my favorite part, how they all came in one at a time was pretty funny. The troll faces was a very nice touch and funny!
Who else was watching the live stream?
This show was absolutely wonderful. So moving and unique.
When you saw this a year ago, because you were actually there watching it live when they were recording🤔😂
OMG I LOVE CALL ME CARSON XD

Jaqwillin J underrated comment
It cracks me up how he taps the snare rhythms on her shoulder like " yeah this'll get her. some dirty shoulder rhythms.
@@nicholasthames14 Over a year later, and I still appreciate that mans hustle.

Thanks for creating this. Loved watching and found it fascinating. Wish we could have seen what's involved in the wind sectionals and warmups.
Thanks so much! It was fun making this! We are a percussion education company so our main focus is percussion, but in the future it would be cool to expand and showcase the other sections! Thanks for the suggestion!

Head (and only) Quad player at my school and my dream is to be apart of a drumcorps.
Practice and persistence in the right direction will get you there!
Finally 😩 I've been waiting for something like this for such a long time, great job on this video and thank you!
Thank you!! :)

Thank you!!

2. Are there any female band leaders/instructors in these elite ensembles? It seems like I never see them.
3. Bass splits always blow my damn mind!!!
Can you another bluecoats movie this year
Unfortunately we did not get the opportunity to record the 2017 Bluecoats. We were only able to record the Boston Crusaders for the 2017 season. We hope to have that video out in the next few months. Stay Tuned!
Jesus this drumline has the highest taps in the history of 1st place show drumlines 😂 still love them though
YYYEEEESSS
Get it!
1:26:11
1:05 look at the snare drummer (max)
Is the guy behind the drum kit trying to screw them up??
1:04 look at the snare from the back to the left
just exelent!
Was there one for the 2017 show filmed?
that's my school at the beginning!
Tyler Denning McGavock?
I watched it at DCI
Their colorguard is MASSIVE 😳
I love youuuuuuuuu
Just an FYI but the sync is pretty off about halfway through and it never recovers. Audio to Video
Maybe check your connection? Watched on a few different devices and different internet connections and there are no sync issues! Thanks for the heads up!
TheGridBookSeries no problem m8. I'll see if I can figure it out
5:00 why does the end snare drummer look like @Sabeel Kuhram?
What 2017 cores were you able to film this past year?
We were able to film A Day With Boston Crusaders 2017, but unfortunately we weren't able to capture any more due to lack of funding.
Could you guys please do 2018 bluecoats if possible?
Going to really try! Stay tuned!!
TheGridBookSeries thanks!
Yessssss
