GUARDLING Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 6 minutes ago, Tenoris4Jazz said: Same here. The first time I watched Bluecoats last year I despised the uni's. After watching the third time, I understood why they had to do it and enjoyed the show so much I didn't care any more. By Finals, it was just "Yeah, the uniforms are weird, but that show rocks!" I believe after two weeks of tour, the costumes will be a minor thing. I think this is true to some spectators. I know some believe costuming doesn't play a part BUT I think when you do not make uniform a focus is one thing but if you do and make it part of a theme it becomes a very important part of the overall production and does play a very important part. Unfortunately that also opens a corps up to individual interpretation and an understanding or lack of. It's just a chance a corps takes but can be a successful choice if done well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those Gino horn lines... they do have a tendency to rearrange people's dental work. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I give you this year's Academy. The costumes will have a HUGE impact on the show appeal. I think BAC will be very similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShutUpAndPlayYerGuitar Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Opinions won't really matter until the unis (...oops, sorry ... "costumes") are seen in context. That said: they definitely look sharp and appear to fit the stated theme, but I'm not a fan of the piecemeal patchwork stuff ("the sleeves represent iron+blood ... the pants represent a scary forest ... etc"). I prefer simpler designs that don't follow the BD formula of cramming as much clashing fabric in one place as possible. I do like the puritan era elements, and wished they would've ran more with that across the board -- rather than relying on printed fabric of spooky trees. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except it's June 12th, not the 10th. Interesting trivia, though - didn't know that! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim K Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 i would prefer a more traditional uniform, but there have been many uniforms over the years that have not exactly been my favorites, but when the music starts and the show begins, I forget about the uniform if I'm sold on the show. I'll make my decision on Saturday night when I see them live. Hey, I even purchased the foam plate donation this evening when I was at BJ's. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
