GamingWithFun15 me neither. Traditional wool uniforms that are meant for more rigorous classic marching style over visual would definitely now work. Blue devils even uses a spandex kind of material with their unis. I think it would be cool to have a modern traditional uni. Made from the same breatheable fabric with more of a traditional look. Blue devils seem to be one of the only corps they do that
She’s really dialing in to the DCI magic and intensity. When COVID is over we need to get her to a show in 2021. Maybe a VIP seat here in my hometown of Indy!
AGREED!!!!! I said the same thing on one of the other vids. Experiencing DCI in person where you get hit w/ those balls to the walls sound and see the guard bring the visual elegance is priceless! I exposed my family to it when I marched and now they’re hooked too.
Bro the crowds reaction to the wink was incredible! There is like a story behind it, but I don't remember it 😅. I love this show so much. Please react to more shows that are relatively newer.
Shayne O'Brien, (the soloist), did it during Prelims, which was nationally shown in Movie theaters and sent the marching world internet in a frenzy, but did not do it during Semis. So everyone was hoping that it would come back in Finals, and the reaction is from that buildup.
Something that not a lot of people know is that the camera man was holding up a sign that said "wink" on it finals night. That's why Shane laughs about it after in this finals recording.
@@AndThereWasHobbyman yeah, exactly. the unexpected prelims wink got a good reaction and some definite buzz in the theater/post-theater online responses, and then when he DIDN'T do it on semis, you could kinda hear the crowd 'awww' in a way, with shayne seemingly noticing it. so going into finals, he knew that a fair amount of people in the crowd and around the country were expecting it, so when he did it, after that brief delay after his high note....the crowd having their anticipation finally resolved (especially during such an emotionally potent moment in the corps/show history/great gig in the sky itself) became a celebrated, cathartic, iconic, transcendent moment. as an alum (05-07 mello), it's extra special because it's beautifully in line with who we are, what we're about, and our crowd-friendly, relatively whimsical approach to the activity. (a very small part of me wishes the anticipation for the wink didn't distract from the music moment at 9:49, but the wink is way too iconic to regret. i'm glad shayne waited how he did, so that the crowd's roar didn't cover up that glorious descrecendo.) i had no idea about the camera man though!!
As a current member, the design staff told us the story of it. One of the heads of show design actually got a little upset at the shayne and told him not to do it. At semis they heard the crowd’s disappointment when he didn’t wink, and then told him to do it on finals night and it turned into the DCI iconic moment it’s known as today
You know Courtney, at this point in time we’d be nearing the end of the 2020 season. But we all know why that isn’t happening this year. Thank you for the genuine reactions and excitement from past shows to help make up for it.
Fun Fact: The guy walking to his set at 3:19 was my tech and he actually ended up falling/tripping on the way down because they had just gotten new vinyl on the ramps so he couldn't slide down as easy but man managed to play it off like a champ
The creativity behind this is simply mind-blowing. That intro was EPIC. And the trumpet soloist winking at the camera after some good screams was a nice touch!
I saw this live in Atlanta, and four hours later when I got home my ears were still ringing it was so loud. It didn't hurt that Carolina Crown had gone on before them (Their 2016 Relentless would be a good show for you to watch as well). My ears were already ringing from their show. By now you're familiar with their horn line. I rarely expect another corps to be louder, but that night the Bluecoats were. It was a truly unforgettable performance. As for "the wink..." The DCI world championships have three rounds of competition. Two nights before this performance, the first round of the championships was broadcast live to theaters all over the country. He winked at the camera then, so when this night came, everyone in the stands was watching for it. He didn't do it right away like at the theaters so it became almost a "wait for it," moment.
8:39 I’m the blonde on the right next to Ben 🥰 this was my age out year and I still get teary eyed watching this performance. So full of heart and energy. Thank you for bringing this back into my life. I miss this so much
aww you you always looked so content and fulfilled during that solo, haha. the world was living vicariously through you and your emotions there! six words :) (mello 05-07) a friend who marched this year sent me a vid of the final practice runthrough a few months ago, for each other/family/alums in that fieldhouse, and i watched it during a fierce thunderstorm.....and before i knew it i was baaawwwwllllinnnngggg, out of sheer joy and gratitude. you guys fuckin DID THAT THING
Nothing like a wailing Brassline to get the blood to percolate, then screaming Trumpets to set things to boil. Courtney, if you ever get the chance to go to a DCI Championship here in Indianapolis you need to do whatever to get here. Sitting in the Stadium hearing, seeing and feeling these performances live will blow your mind. It's almost an entire week of awesomeness. You will not regret it. I'm spoiled....I live about 25 miles from the stadium.
I was at one of their first shows in FL that season watching the drum major at the goal line with that smug ass look on his face like they were gonna win. I was like, "Bitch, you think you're gonna win!?" A minute and a half into the show I was like "FUCK, they're gonna win....and the game has changed forever."
@@ThereaalSP Its true. Everyone else is chatting waiting for the show to start, Frank Williams is 2 rows behind me not giving a shit, and I'm the only one standing up eyeballing this MFin drum major that had the balls to approach the goal line like they had already won DCI Finals in early June. Couldn't believe it till I saw it.
I'm so happy you were able to experience this performance! I marched Bluecoats from 1995-1997 and drove for them from 2015-2017. I was one of the lucky ones who got to see these amazing performers put on this show every night for over 6 weeks! I was in the crowd during this video and was crying by the end of the show! I knew it was their year to win it all! To this day, I get full-body goosebumps throughout the entire show. Tonight would have been the first night of the World Championships, but unfortunately the 2020 season was cancelled. Hopefully we'll get back to business next summer.
i don't disagree, and i'm glad you love it, but for me, that section mostly just builds the anticipation up for that flamenco gloriousness at 6:54. (her reaction to noticing the new melody/style that dropped during that section was perfect.) during the 2016 season when i was frequently watching videos as the year went on, the two parts i would always check out first, to hear how they sounded on a given night, were the hit in great gig in the sky, and that fat tasty dissonant chord at 7:02.
@@jared0111 I think a big reason I love that part so much is just because the music allows the groove to set in and develop for a while. So much of marching music is written in a way to be kind of schizophrenic, wild changing in style and content every few seconds. It's a symptom of how judging in the activity works, I think. Anything that lasts more than a few seconds and the judges start commenting on "oh, well you've been doing this for too long". It's one of my only dislikes about the activity, and one I'm slowly working to kind of change. There's nothing wrong with a little minimalism, letting a melody, groove, or feeling settle and anchor for a bit. Just my opinion.
Without a doubt, one of the strongest DCI wins/shows of all time! It didn’t let up...kept moving and building and it was mind blowing. I saw it live 3 times that summer and finals was completely off the chain! That build up to the “Wink” was a deafening roar from the audience. Those 4 lead trumpet soloists were such quality musicians. Loved this show. And their 2014 TILT show is truly what made me a Bloo fan for life. Incredible!
👍👍👍👍👍👍 This was an incredibly moving performance. This performance would make you a fan if you weren't already one. I personally have never seen these types of performance except at football🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈 games and believe me they aren't nearly as sophisticated and well rehearsed as the types on you channel. Just a thing of beauty. The performers deserve a big spotlight and stage so that they can be viewed by a much larger audience. The work that goes into these performances must be staggering. What legends....⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So glad that you introduced me to these great works of performing art. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
It's good to know that you've become fan of DCI as well! Dci has been kind of dying out as of late, and it's in desperate need of revival. Not enough people are aware of the talent and skill that is showcased in Drum Corps!
the guy at 3:18 still cracks me up. I think he got his foot stuck in the prop and couldn't climb up it with everyone else, so just joined there. But hey, be confident and it'll look right
This was actually the first show i ever saw and also what inspired me to start my own adventure in drum corps and helped lead me to where i am today. It was super cool to see someone else see this show for the first time again and brought back the memories of the first time i ever saw it. I think that’s why i love these videos, it brings back that feeling of seeing something for the first time and being amazed. Also one of the drummers in this video is also a youtuber (Kyle Tsuchiya)
@@samsignorelli apparently the 2017 ramp wound up being wayyyyyy more of a hassle from what i understand. i'm so glad none of the tubas wiped out during that final dynamite sprint, haha. ($0.02 to bd '05 for that reference)
Finally, l've been waiting for this one. This is the first DCI show I ever saw and why I joined marching band in high school. It was a great introduction for me even though I thought their uniforms were weird.
I remember being there on Finals night and being in tears because of how beautiful that ballad was. I'll never forget how insane the crowd went when they won
here is kind of long fun fact for you. The song they played at 8:35 was "Great Gig In The Sky" from the great Pink Floyd album "Dark Side of the Moon'. That song featured the vocal talent of Clare Torry who was only sixteen years old at the time. That (at the time)young woman has an amazing voice. Give it a listen if you can. She was amazing at sixteen.
I still love knowing that Courtney's reaction to the last 30 seconds of this show was everyone's reaction that night, because no one had seen that ending before then.
I saw this live in Nashville that year. That was the 2nd show they performed their new closer in (the 1st being the Little Rock show just a day or two earlier). It blew my mind when they pulled something completely different than what I was expecting. I have a video somewhere on my old phone where you can hear me scream "WHAT?????" when they change it up
I know the guy who did the wink. Knew him before he was famous... Shane's a nice guy. Moved from Ireland to Texas to be with his girlfriend who he met at the Cadets. I think they're married now? I can't recall. I haven't seen him in like 6 years. lol.
This really makes me realize how amazing that show was. Just everything about it was phenomenal and watching you react for the first time was like me watching it for the first time again! Amazing!
At the June theater broadcast, by the time the opening hit at 4:35 finished, I turned to the guy next to me and said, "That's it, that's the 2016 champs right there!" Crown hadn't even played yet. This show was so different and executed so well already, I was convinced that nobody was going to touch it. Reminded me of what Wayne Downey once said about getting to see Garfield '83 from the press box for the first time, "We can't beat this, this is new, this is different, this is exciting."
i got to meet the 5th bass drum, Zach, super nice and humble guy. met him by sheer chance in my gym at ucf. he was in some of my favorite shows ever, 2015, -2017 bluecoats.
@Courtney Coulston I was hoping you would notice that @7:10 there is a point where you hear music from the brassline, but none of them have the instrument on their face at that time. Chew on that for a bit. lol
That was a great show. I am really enjoying your reactions to DCI. I'm sure you know that there is a lot of corps out there. I think what I enjoy about your reactions is that you just can't fake that level of emotion or appreciation for what these kids are doing. Thank you for another great video, Ms. Coulston.
When a "down under" girl says "y'all - you KNOW it is a good show! Seeing it live - in person was so very moving! The Blue Coats so richly deserved to win it all that year!!! They followed it up the next season very narrowly losing to the Blue Devils. GREAT SHOW!!!!!
6:32 they didnt show it in this recording but I'm pretty sure that this was the performance where some dude tripped over the first ramp. F to pay respects
That was semis. They had many issues in semis, ie mics not working, people tripping. It was a hot mess. Then again BD had much the same in semis as well. Only Crown killed it in semis
I've seen a LOT of great shows in my life, but seeing this in person was on a whole different level. Best writing to date in DCI, the staff did amazing with this and as hard as it was the kids really pulled it off. NOT easy to sync all these moving pieces.
There’s still a part of me that’s hanging on to the “old way” with Drum Corps. One change I do like is how more and more corps are going without shakos. It really lets the corps members’ personalities shine. I’m slowly embracing the changes. It’s still something I love to follow, and hope it makes a triumphant return next year.
One thing I think you should try and pay attention to in your next DCI video is the sight difference in marching technique between the horn lines and the drum lines. Specifically with when they are marching to the side. The horn line will do something called a slide where they turn their hips and basically march forward. Alternatively The drum line will do something called Crabbing which is more of the drum line marchers keeping their hips pointing forward (for their drums) and instead of marching forward they just cross their legs to move to the aide
This show was a game changer in some ways. The uniforms, the use of the props, and of course it led to their first DCI Championship.
Unfortunately the uniforms are worse because of it. But other than that this show opened many different doors. I was lucky enough to witness it live.
@@ryanmele8159 I remember when I first saw those uniforms I thought it looked like they just got back from working out at the gym.
Edmund Eberhart yeah BD is still proving that more traditional uniforms score better especially visually
@@edmundeberhart5503 I cant imagine running up and down those ramps in a traditional uniform
GamingWithFun15 me neither. Traditional wool uniforms that are meant for more rigorous classic marching style over visual would definitely now work. Blue devils even uses a spandex kind of material with their unis. I think it would be cool to have a modern traditional uni. Made from the same breatheable fabric with more of a traditional look. Blue devils seem to be one of the only corps they do that
He made the wink famous. No one will ever be able to recreate the wink.

"And they aren't even the colorguards." 😄 love it
*gasp* the color guards are here! *clapping*
It is great hearing your knowledge of the activity evolve as you react to more videos. Thanks again for the great vids.
My pleasure!
I've experienced this with a few people I've exposed to DCI and 20th century/modern classical. That is a joy.

I literally can't describe how loud this show was in person. It's insane the amount of volume they're able to put out.
10:37, the trombone girl, second from the left, that’s Celia Colter. She was on music staff for the corps I marched last year :)
Lol nice i love how lots of the people who leave drum corps go on to be techs and staff for us.
I do like this show lol, but what I love most about it is hearing boomers complain about how it’s not “real drum corps” and stuff haha

This was the first time they had props that large and it was hard to get them on to the field. They went on the have one big ramp the year after.

seeing your genuine reaction to my literal favorite show of all time literally made me cry bro this is such a sweet video
I love how bluecoats use bass trombone in their shows lately
here is kind of long fun fact for you. The song they played at 8:35 was "Great Gig In The Sky" from the great Pink Floyd album "Dark Side of the Moon'. That song featured the vocal talent of Clare Torry who was only sixteen years old at the time. That (at the time)young woman has an amazing voice. Give it a listen if you can.

This show made me proud that we had a professional grade Drum Corps from my home state of Ohio. The Trumpet soloist's wink made everyone cheer.
6:36 haha I like how she woooed in tune at the perfect time lol
Also you’ll probably see folks talking about ben gunnerson, he has a headcam out but I believe he was the first trumpet solo near the beginning
You should watch their next year’s show 2017 :)))
yeeeeeees
the trombone solo is a big bop
sofia the music selection is just a bop I love it
sofia whole show is a bop imo
Kenneth Schechter I agree but I can't find their competition video with good views and everything :(
6:36 when she says "whoooo" it's the same note as the next trumpet soloist...
i got to meet the 5th bass drum, Zach, super nice and humble guy. met him by sheer chance in my gym at ucf. he was in some of my favorite shows ever, 2015, -2017 bluecoats.
Yayyy it’s here!!!
My all time favorite show. I watch or almost everyday in the summer. Everything about this show is rope
@Courtney Coulston I was hoping you would notice that @7:10 there is a point where you hear music from the brassline, but none of them have the instrument on their face at that time.
Chew on that for a bit. lol
Bluecoats are my favorite because they’re innovative. Love this show!
it's bluecoats*
I never knew this existed! Thanks so much for exposing me to this it's so amazing😍
That was a great show. I am really enjoying your reactions to DCI. I'm sure you know that there is a lot of corps out there. I think what I enjoy about your reactions is that you just can't fake that level of emotion or appreciation for what these kids are doing. Thank you for another great video, Ms. Coulston.
It was insane how that first group that entered all moved like dancers but they were not the color guard. I was shocked as much as you Courtney!
Love this show! It was absolutely game changing!
This show is my favorite one of theirs. I watch this show often since that year. Their Beatles show is pretty awesome also.
I requested this but it wasn’t guaranteed, so thank you to whoever did this guaranteed request!😁
woop woop!!😊
Only DCI finals I’ve ever been to, what an amazing performance to see live. The crowd was deafening after their show.
Brooo this was nuts to see live
"Loved the wink" yes, so did absolutely everyone :D at one semi finals he didn't just to build up anticipation lmaooo
When a "down under" girl says "y'all - you KNOW it is a good show! Seeing it live - in person was so very moving! The Blue Coats so richly deserved to win it all that year!!! They followed it up the next season very narrowly losing to the Blue Devils. GREAT SHOW!!!!!
My favorite show!! 😍😍
6:32 they didnt show it in this recording but I'm pretty sure that this was the performance where some dude tripped over the first ramp. F to pay respects
That was semis. They had many issues in semis, ie mics not working, people tripping. It was a hot mess. Then again BD had much the same in semis as well. Only Crown killed it in semis
I love this show so much so glad they got 1st place
You should also check out Bluecoats 2019
in my top five forever shows. I will never ever ;stop enjoying it. Blooooooooooo
Fun fact, coats sold those ramps after the show, you could buy them for about $1000 usd a piece
My high schools band bought those slides for our show back in 2017!!!!! They are awesome!!!!! Cabell Midland High School
I've seen a LOT of great shows in my life, but seeing this in person was on a whole different level. Best writing to date in DCI, the staff did amazing with this and as hard as it was the kids really pulled it off. NOT easy to sync all these moving pieces.
YOOOOO the drum major is Samuel Crawford hes now my marching band director at my high school lmao
There’s still a part of me that’s hanging on to the “old way” with Drum Corps. One change I do like is how more and more corps are going without shakos. It really lets the corps members’ personalities shine. I’m slowly embracing the changes. It’s still something I love to follow, and hope it makes a triumphant return next year.
All of these hits that wasn't freaking given to me in my feed I'm gonna sue youtube ok.
Love this, thank you again Courtney
I had been waiting for this video yay!!🙂
That wink is iconic
We really need a Bluecoats 2010 reaction. The first time the corps medaled in history and such a great use of electronics 2 years into their usage
Love your DCI reactions!!!!
One of my all time favorite closers!
This is the show you wanna have those chills
She has no idea how famous that wink is in the band world lol
Flo Marching - meet your next studio analyst!
One thing I think you should try and pay attention to in your next DCI video is the sight difference in marching technique between the horn lines and the drum lines. Specifically with when they are marching to the side. The horn line will do something called a slide where they turn their hips and basically march forward. Alternatively The drum line will do something called Crabbing which is more of the drum line marchers keeping their hips pointing forward (for their drums) and instead of marching forward they just cross their legs to move to the aide
The rifle drop at the end hurts my soul.
THAT'S MY BAND DIRECTOR YESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aw yeah, one of my favorite shows of all time!
SO happy they finally changed the rules to allow trombones in. They add so much to the color of the sound!
Gotta do the Carolina Crown 2013 show where they won their first gold. That place went about as nuts as the Bluecoats winning finally.
That's was so beautiful and I almost cried
The crowd is yelling "BLUUUUUUUUUUUE"" when the Blue Coats are announced or when they do something spectacularly !!!
If you haven't already, Bluecoats 2014 is a must watch and 2015 is another amazing one too
Bruh 2016 finals was my first time seeing DCI and bruh loved it ever since
I enjoyed crown and scv the most that year but I liked all the shows at finals that year.
Hunter Braun Crown was so freakin good I honestly thought that they should’ve gotten 3rd that year
@@AlexWells02 crown did get bronze and scv got 4th
Hunter Braun oh wait i actually meant 2nd place sorry about that 😅
My high school did their opener as our closer for last year's closer
