Bluecoats 2023 - Show Music

Bluecoats Playing through their book in the lot on 07/22/23

[@ehhhhwassupdoc]

Idk what happened during Covid, but year after year, Rarick has been writing some of the freshest stuff. Still feels/sounds Rarick, but also really refreshing.

[@ayytism8857]

Rarick hasn’t been missing since 2015 bro wym

[@mel-px7hl]

*2009. Bro’s always been on one 😮‍💨

[@yungtwiz]

Rarick has had this sauce since 2014 lol

[@shadowkille8r99]

And still loses…

[@ayytism8857]

@@shadowkille8r99 Imagine devaluing such a beautiful art form to nothing more than numbers on a sheet

🌻🌺🌼For The Bloomcoats Algorithm!🌸💮🏵

[@domwil8547]

Hell yeah

[@Marty_Theory]

I was watching blue devils lot during this and man the coats here sound much cleaner than the bd snare line 🤯🔥🔥

[@marklower007]

Much easier book imo

[@shadowkille8r99]

And yet they lost…

[@musicdev]

What an interesting book. Love the beginning especially

[@jhilbertdrums]

I doubted these guys at first but they are throwing down. The best San Antonio lot in my opinion. Well done.

[@thenelsonbruhs722]

I originally thought they wouldn’t even be top 4 this year but I was so wrong

[@shadowkille8r99]

They lost…

[@jhilbertdrums]

@@shadowkille8r99 That’s true man, you March?

[@davidcotham1939]

At 1:58 and 3:57 you can hear a clear D(5) ringing with perfect sine wave intonation. The tuning is really satisfying.

[@fugandhi6870]

ROCKIN’ it, dudes!👏✊😎

[@shazampanda]

I keep making space for Boston and BD in my head for the agility and difficulty of their books as the barrier to their cleaning up, but having been following this stuff for the past month, Coats are just sounding like they're gelling so well right now.
One other piece that has been really standing out is how well the layering with Coats book is at letting the sections speak. There is some bass stuff going on with all of the top three lines that is RIDICULOUS, but I think it lands the best (from only seeing lot videos) here with BlooBass.
So excited to see how well all the lines push through finals, this is a really exciting year looking at the Sanford.

[@BluieBeth]

Saw them last night...absolutely incredible!!! WOW!

[@michaelhamilton3778]

Love it 🫵🏼👍🏻

[@RishiJalukar]

They MAD 😳

[@davidcotham1939]

Indeed

[@jacksonschriver3115]

mannn those drums look gooooood

[@jake_thomass]

Are u gonna do another overlay video after finals with the brass and pit?

[@willro4189]

i run on the tread mill to those lmao

[@fugandhi6870]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@CoenWilson1]

I was at this lot and my friend who’s in bluecoats showed me the center snare and center marimba. The bass five and I got along too i my was really cool

[@cavi_mw8229]

Little love tap there❤ 5:01

[@NicDunn]

Clean

[@thenelsonbruhs722]

Those TAMA drums sound great

[@danjordan2625]

Must've left just before these runs. Roger was still jamming when I was there

[@moobysnaxx6086]

Did stick deals get better? I've seen so many lines w/out tape lately

[@jordantyler148]

Clear stick tape

[@Allison_Chaynes]

Damn, that's nice.

[@mcgrud]

For the algorithm. 🤙

[@marklower007]

So cool broooo never heard that comment before 😒

[@mcgrud]

5:00 "boop-boop"

[@J.J.Stokes]

Lead stick getting violated at 5:00 😯 🤣

[@jakegreene4313]

SO proud Rarick is an IUP alum

[@daskrete]

Hate to admit it but when I saw they were doing some super colorful show again i checked out completely but damn did I sleep on this book

[@deansprankle6579]

👏👏👏🏆🏆🏆Sanford

[@AznAfroMan513]

does the snareline still use Jim Casellas?

[@mrnicknick02]

Nope. Since 2019 they have used Tom Raricks

[@CarloBarlo69]

This Quadline is fucking goood

No way would I wear a pair of brand-new Maxes out in dirt and grass.

[@marklower007]

Am I the only 1 underwhelmed with this year's book compared to years past ? They usually play way more beef. They got a few cool phrases but lots of triplet rolls, tap fives, tap drag basic licks filling up the rest
