The OP question is WHAT influences your pick. BD, electric violin notwithstanding, presents an intelligent and fascinating blend of progress and tradition in this show. The Bluecoats are leaning too heavily on accessibility for me. There's too much setup to recorded music for my taste. It's more of a "Beatles on Ice" show and not so much a drum and bugle corps show.

And I'm saying that when I saw that show live, I exclaimed "Good lord that synth is too loud." and tonight watching it on Flo, I exclaimed "Good lord that synth is too loud."

I'll give the Flo multi cam this bit of propers...it's so nice to see the kids having a freaking BALL on the field.

You're saying you can't hear it live? What is the point of playing it if you can't hear it live? I saw them live and I heard it.

If you can hear it dominating on Flo, you can hear it live.

That Bluecoats show is aging fast for me.

I saw it in Pasadena and it was too #### much then, too.

Good lord that synth is too freaking much.

Wow. Devils not even off the field and the crowd is bloooing.

Fantastic show BD. The soloists were nails tonite!

Show should really be called "David"...

Love that nasty chord when Goliath shows up.

Darn it, Boston. Too much synthetic low register.

Barry Manilow.

I may be an old curmudgeon but I loved that Scouts show. And I've been wanting a good One Voice closer since 1986.

And the synth is too loud.

Ugh that violin.

Is that SpongeBob's face on those flags?

Yech, the violin.

I like Bluecoats color scheme. Thats about it. Hate the slow start. Hate the pre-records and the singing. Cold on the Beatles. It's just "ok' to me.

That was P H A T !

Meh.

Luscious brass tones there, Cadets. That "Do Better" thing is...awful.

Blue Stars. Liked that they used so much of the field. Sassy brass. Lost the thread of the story halfway through though.
