gottalovit Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I don't see alot of people talking about Blue Knights, but I just have to say, I absolutely love their music selections of the last 6 years. I think their arrangements are fantastic, and I just love the way they bring out the power of the selections. Fear and Trembling in 02 just absolutely blew me away. Definitely in my top 3 musical performances of that year. And I loved the Shostakovich pieces from this year as well. And while I have always enjoyed their performances since the early 90's, the last 6 years have just really drawn me in more than ever. I think they may have some of the best musical arrangements of any of the corps. I am not sure who picks out their musical selections, but whoever it is I really want to thank them, and let you know BK shows are some of the most listened to selections of the last 6 years in my CD player. I also like some of the risks they take with their colorguard. I love the unique styles of dance they bring to the field every year(I know alot of people don't care for it, but I really like how it stands out) Can't wait to see what they bring to the field this next year.

cowtown Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 BK has won me over the last few years, it took a long time to shake off that star trek show. I really enjoyed their show last year, might be my fav from them Great music and a unique approach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 2000, 2001, and 2005 are my top picks. Amazing color guards (although 2002, 2006, 2007 are nothing to sneeze at either!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAMystreaux Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 They tend to have my favorite musical shows, at least in the past 6-7 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DKracing Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Yay Blue Knights! I loved every warm-up at shows we had with them this year, because usually we got to hear them play segments of their show while we were doing visual, or just starting arc.

Jared_mello Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 true. loved their show this year. great music writing, and i love the driving, aggressive closer. ideal for me, programming-wise....instead of being built around a theme and featuring aspects that bring attention to the cohesive concept, attention was on the performance itself the whole time. innovation was featured in the visual program instead of developments with the rules of dci. they were cutting edge without going against what the activity had previously stood for, and i appreciate that.
