I know this has been discussed and sorry for the repeat but I don’t remember the answer. Does Bloo have an open rehearsal policy? Yes, but you have to bring Sam (the drum major) a bag of swedish fish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome stuff. As Gru would say, "Light. Bulb." It just clicked for me, watching this video. For those of us that still have that "You have been to zero rehearsals and have no idea what you are doing, but you are being thrown into the drill for your first show" dream -- this Bloo show is a jazz singer's version of that dream! It all makes perfect sense now. (I now need to go through the SCV and Mandarins threads to see if there are similar insights). 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandarins is "that dream" as well, only after a night of spicy Mexican food and heavy tequila drinking. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome stuff. This is a great explanation of the show and seems so easy to see. The great thing about this show is that you don’t even need to know the storyline to enjoy it ... but it does give that extra dimension. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfrontz47 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Was it just me- or was that a really rough run?? Tonight the energy just seemed off- maybe it was Flo but the dynamics weren't as nuanced especially in the louder sections, several soloist issues (brass related), some disconnect with the bass drums and front ensemble at the beginning... Just one performance but still curious to see what others thought (watching DCI Midwest) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldbandguy Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 I thought it was out best run of the year actually. Hard to complain when you win GE1, GE2, Vis Proficiency, Music Analysis 2 and BRASS!!! FIVE of the nine. BD won 2 and Crown won 2. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
