DrumManTx Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 OK just watched Bloo on FN. WOW, they seriously have one of the coolest shows I've seen. The music is pretty sick, the drill is fantastic! The color scheme just POPS right out at you. I kind of got the same feeling I had when I first started watching drum corps---particularly similar to SCV's 2003 show Pathways, one of my favorite shows ever. Almost nostalgic because it reminds me of my "innocence" to DCI so-to-speak. Both Pathways and Tilt are both simple concepts and complex at the same time. No need for talking (at least I don't remember Tilt having narration after 2 viewings), just pure conceptual art and music. As you can see, I'm having difficulty articulating just how much I love this show! This is exactly how I felt tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecamburn Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Sustained chord that seamlessly morphs between horns and detuned synth is genius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmc5682 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Great show for Bluecoats. I predict a 4th place finish behind BD, Cadets and SCV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeutralNovice Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 This may be a stretch but even SCV loves Bloo... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burgerbob Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Great show for Bluecoats. I predict a 4th place finish behind BD, Cadets and SCV. I think Crown would like to have some words with you! Personally I don't see SCV beating this. They are good this year but wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT76 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Of course haven't seen it live yet, but I think I might be completely falling in love with the music of this show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guardguy89 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 This show is really, really good - and has a sense of "something new" - which is always exciting. Love the design and the music. I'm not sure the guard is contributing enough though. If it wasn't for the orange costuming I think they'd get lost. At this point - they're not adding enough to the overall effect (for me). Case in point - That little "V" pole in the ballad doesn't add anything. I'm hoping they start layering on the guard work and add impact and color as the season progreses. But - wow - what a show!!!!! later, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slingerland Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I think Crown would like to have some words with you! Personally I don't see SCV beating this. They are good this year but wow. Ditto. I actually see Vanguard fighting with Cavaliers for 5th this year. The top four are pretty much set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
