The low brass was a MACHINE this year. The sound quality was what won them the ott, my .02. Buttery smooth chords throughout the show that blended nearly perfect. Other groups had stronger and harder books but the sound quality and technique is what won. Congrats to the Bloo crew.
Their articulation is incredibly defined and consistent. Their intonation and ensemble tone is phenomenal. I am a very proud alumnus, they should be so proud of what they've done this season. It's not about winning; it's about being fucking great and putting an artistic package on the field.
Agreed... Not everyone wins, but if you lay it all out there giving 101+%.. you've got to be proud of what you've done. Personally, I think this year should have been a three-peat for Bluecoats, but I am a bit biased just because my son marched this and the two years prior. This year, they were so clean out of the gates, that there was little hope of anyone catching up to them. Scott & crew have done a phenomenal job of recruiting/developing the talent/attitude that portrays a Bluecoat. Hats off to them for these past and future years to come. Let's Go BLOO!
I love listening to this on full volume with my headphones. Its the closest thing I can get to real life. Sadly I wasnt able to see them live this year 😢
@@dci_fan0345 yup! Glad Blue Stars Brass is getting some of the recognition they deserve after being one of the most consistent hornlines even across staff changes within their scoring area! For the past 4 seasons Travis Larson and staff have been doing great things. Crazy to think it’s already been that long since my age out at Blue Stars was his first year.
I gotta say, putting the camera quality aside, THIS is the best type of audio recording that is amazing for brass lots! It's the type of sound that floods your ears and has bright full tones where you can hear dynamics and individual players, and if it is too loud it HURTS to listen to. All these other videos that claim to have "HD Audio" and "High Quality Audio" always have that same muffled, unclear, closed off sound in their videos and it just never hits the same. This video is one of the examples that makes you FEEL like you are there with the absolute impact of the brass and the way it can literally make a wall of sound that covers everything else! Maybe I'm overthinking it but these "poor camera quality" videos always have the BEST audio as the name implies lol
Just show up, they're all warming up within walking distance of the stadium. The tough part is that a) they are in the lots at least 2hrs before their performance time, b) all the groups overlap with each other so you kinda need to decide in advance who you wanna see, and c) they are usually pretty far apart from each other so you can't just simply bounce around on a whim
@@BluesClues2s wait so like is it early enough to not miss any performances or..? sorry for asking dumb questions i just want to see them in the lot and know nothing about it
@@soberbananaswhat he’s saying is one corp might be on the field in performance while another is in a warm up arc like this around the stadium so you have to be willing to miss some performances if you want to catch warm up. Generally they are in warm up arc 1.5-2 hours prior to show time then they rest until show while talking and mentally preparing. just go to your next show an hour before start time and walk around!
Who’s idea was it for these costumes that they’re wearing. When I marched back in the 50’s & 60’s,we wore uniforms not costumes. Many on here will surely disagree with me and that’s ok. Different eras,I get it. For the few old timers here,these costumes are in the mold of the Jolly Jesters Senior Drum Corps. Maybe not as bad,but the first corps that came to mind.
@@brettlacroix-durocher6088 yeah and they’re achieving all of those things at an extremely high level with a good full sound. BD is leading in the brass caption but I am confident they won’t be top 2 (maybe even top 3) in brass by Finals night with this Coats book, Boston’s book, and knowing the level of improvement that Crown’s brass will make by then. Had somebody tell me with a straight face that Boston’s brass is not all that great this year…
My one hope is a "change" to the ending to get the crowd on their feet instead of left in their seats. The last big phrase is so good but then they just stop and the ending is disappointing
@@kbrichmo8547 True that from a strictly viceral perspective it doesn't slap in the most exciting way, but from an intellectual and thematic perspective, it is an absolutely stellar ending.
The ending is perhaps my favorite DCI ending ever and I wake up each day worried that they'll change it before finals. To open with the B-flat major chords, then end *each movement* with a B-flat major chord despite different keys, and then close out the entire thing with one, single, fully-resolved B-flat major chord, is perfect.
dymaxion is the hardest thing on the field this summer 💀 the listening environment throughout the entire show is insanely difficult. it's simultaneous demand, they're actually doing multiple things at once instead of sitting on their ass and playing sixteenth notes for five seconds at a time
@@kevinjohnson5210 no but bluecoats are actually writing difficult music that's musical-- all of their stuff you can jam out to, whereas someone like crown this summer sounds like they're playing arban's articulation exercises and clarke studies the whole time
@@kevinjohnson5210dog u have no idea how much of a bitch it is to clean shit like this. It may not be ultra technically impressive (they still have some decent technical excerpts), but ensemble wise they are doing very good.
What do people really enjoy about this show? Not asking to be mean but this is one of my least favorite champion shows. I’ve tried and I just can’t seem to get into it.
Music and overall execution of the show is phenomenal, while it might not be the most incredibly designed shows, it has a beautiful book, incredible soundscapes, and moments.
@ThinkHarderPlz the reason I like this show so much personally is the fact that it's a concept show. It doesn't tell a story, as much as it showcases a single concept through its visual and musical program. That Concept being Entropy. The movement from Order to Disorder; the idea that everything has an end. Everything falls apart. Everything dies. I just feel like they explored this idea incredibly effectively this season. Easily my favorite Bloo show since Downside Up
What in the world are they playing? There is no "recognizable" music....just a series of sounds. The "entertainment" caption is not what it used to be. The crowd doesn't get excited just hearing obscure sounds. If you played something patriotic, it would bring the house down.🎼🎺
I think this more of a you problem... It's okay if you don't like their musical selections but this definitely a strong musical program which they are playing interesting and exciting arrangements of. They're playing music written by established composers and artists, it's okay if you haven't heard it before but I highly recommend checking out the source pieces. Bloo has a great track record of introducing audiences to new and interesting music
lmfao unrecognizable = something i haven't heard. give me a break, what a ridiculous thing to say, especially about a show like this -- even my 60+ year old dad who does not give two shits about drum corps perked up when he heard the bluecoats play foreplay
this really is just a problem on your end. you're lacking basic musical literacy. sorry the only tunes you know are lee greenwood's proud to be an american and the fox news intro theme.
@@echo2121 The group has lots of talent! They can perform more than just sounds, backed up by the drums and the marimbas in the "pit". There is no pit on a football field....only a concert hall. The instruments on the sidelines are generally placed on the back risers of the band or orchestra. There is minimal crowd appeal. Play something Patriotic and you will bring the audience to their feet. And then you wonder why the contest season doesn't draw crowds.

It’s getting too real in here 😭💀
chappell roan playing in the back is so funny
H O T T O G O ‼️
"who the fuck is playing music over this?! oh its chappell roan? nevermind carry on" was my thought process

I still think they sounded better with 16 tubas in years past but yes they were certainly clean and lovely tone
This is an absolutely unreal hornline

Yes it is about winning; and it is about entertaining the audiences.....and judges as well. Sad to see the end of drum corps activity.
it kinda is about winning tho

Consistent articulation is the difference between great groups and just okay groups. I will say this until I'm dead.
8:33 might be the cleanest post-tuning sequence entrance I’ve ever heard
Literally a perfect attack 🥲
the fucking tubas are such a great sound holy shit
actual synthesizers
good lord the bass trombone at 5:38 is so crunchy
I was in fact not ready. That doesn’t come through in the broadcasts. So good.
@@Phicksusmc yeah same! it suprised me for sure
That’s me
@@ianellis9349 what’s your primary instrument for the rest of the show?
it's just one guy too
Man they are amazing this year. Balance, space, fast runs, they do it all so well
Haven't heard the word "ENTERTAINMENT"
I wish there was a show recording with audio this good
One day I hope to be part of a hornline like this
8:35 was actually soooooo beautiful omg
bluecoats really deserve first, amazing and unique show like ALWAYS
Last 30 seconds are CRAZY beautiful
best use of trombones in DCI maybe ever
I love listening to this on full volume with my headphones. Its the closest thing I can get to real life. Sadly I wasnt able to see them live this year 😢
The sustains in the tuning sequence are fantastic. Props to this brass crew, y'all are absolutely crushing it! Best brass on the field no question.
Glad to see you back posting some drum corps! Hopefully you have the opportunity to record some Blue Stars this season. Their brass is on fire! FCO
Crazily enough stars beat vanguard in brass at the southwestern championship

I don’t know what it is, but a top-tier brass line just hits like nothing else I’ve experienced.
I'm gonna touch you
THEIR BRASS IS ON FIRE THIS YEAR!!! That sound is incredible!
It's a great sound....attach it to great music please!
I haven’t enjoyed a lot video this much since SCV 18. Coats really have something magical this year
What a great hornline!

Great recording!
so excited to see you post again, let alone post bloo! love your audio quality, keep it up. :)
Dci is my reason I pick up my instrument and practice each day tbh
Holy bass trombone 5:34 🥴🥴😫😫
We have a new God's hornline. CC has been slacking as of late
THE LOW VOICES😍😍
Full volume goes crazy
1:27 rest ye merry gentlemen he’s born on Christmas dayyy
I noticed that top before, I was listening and I just got off listening to god rest ye merry gentlemen all that stuff
So crisp!

All of the random music played in the background is pissing me off, like I’m not tryna hear that

What???

@@jimmyjay6497 that sucks go back to 1989 I guess HAHAHAHA
Not the most challenging music on its own. But it sounds beautiful in many places. Other corps have more difficult music this year for sure.
