    Yeah, this is some high velocity drill for the BD horns this season. 

    Wow, what a spectacular full guard rifle toss to finish Jojo’s!

    All right, who knows French? Anybody know what they’re saying here during the percussion feature? I really like how they wrote the feature around the phrasing of what we’re hearing spoken.

    I want to say it's from a military speech.  I will have to find the video.

    In his last years, in defiance of his deteriorating physical condition, Henri Matisse developed a thrilling new method of making art that allowed him to work with brilliant colours even when he was bed-bound. With scissors as his chief implement, Matisse introduced a radically new operation that came to be called a cut-out. Matisse would cut painted sheets into forms of varying shapes and sizes which he then arranged into lively compositions, striking for their play with color and contrast, their exploitation of decorative strategies, and their economy of means. Matisse called his process “painting with scissors” and he developed the act of “carving into color” with innovative expertise.

    In a whirlwind of inspiration and event, the 2023 Blue Devils imagine the world of Matisse’s final chapter with THE CUT-OUTS. A musical and visual collage that celebrates environmental installation with shape, sound and texture.THE CUT-OUTS mines the tensions that lurk in all the shapes, between finish and process, fine art and decoration, drawing and color. An eclectic soundtrack bridges the past to the present and reflects the circumstance to the vision.

    The 2023 Blue Devils bring THE CUT-OUTS to Drum Corps International’s summer celebration with 165 extraordinary performers. With performances across the United States, THE CUT-OUTS honors the miracle of Matisse with music, motion, excellence, and innovation.

    Music includes:
    • THE RISE — Dave Glyde
    • CAVES — Cody Fry
    • JOJO’S BIZARRE ADVENTURE — Tominaga, Fujibayashi, Tanaka
    • STARDUST CRUSADERS “JOTARO’S THEME" — Yugo Kanno
    • RESISTENCE — Dave Glyde
    • BOTH SIDES NOW — Joni Mitchell

    BLUE DEVILS 2022 The Return

    in DCI World Class Corps Discussions

    Show announcement is here

    “Blue has no dimensions, it is beyond dimensions.” – Yves Klein

    It may seem surprising, but the color blue is a relatively modern invention. The only ancient culture that had a word for it was the Ancient Egyptians, and yet the color BLUE has flourished in a multitude of incarnations reaching far beyond the discovery of Lapis Lazuli.

     

    Dancing on the historical timeline of this mysterious and dynamic color, the 2022 Blue Devils celebrate their 65th Anniversary with TEMPUS BLUE. Lapis lazuli, the Renaissance, Titian, Novalis’s Blue Flower, Picasso, and Yves Klein emerge from the timeline in a collage of music and motion. A universal perspective provides a musical palette of influence and style. A contemporary, modern approach allows TEMPUS BLUE to reflect this emotional, miraculous hue with innovation and vision.

     

    Starting with the rise of civilization around 4500 B.C. and continuing to this day, people have found creative ways to produce colors for artistic expression. This summer 165 extraordinary performers travel the United States as The Blue Devils bring TEMPUS BLUE to Drum Corps International’s 50th Anniversary celebration of excitement and excellence.

     

    “A certain blue enters your soul.” – Henri Matisse
