jwillis35 Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 WOW, WOW, WOW!!! 17 Wins this season. Who the heck saw that coming? The 17 wins has to be a record. I know when they were Div II that they won a boat load of shows during some of their years, but likely not 17; and I know they haven't done that as a world class corps until now. The No. 2 Seed at DCI Finals is maybe even more amazing to think about!!! Way to go Bluecoats!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geneva Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 The Bluecoats are my favorite show for 2010. The show is fresh, creative, macho , and gives off the right vibe of the nitty gritty ethos of the city, for it's theme portrayal. The music and visual work in an integrated, coherent fashion. The show is seemless, with a nice flow throughout. I love the drum parts. The guard is terrific. There is no cheesiness, preachiness, pandering, nor high brow pretentiousness with this show, which I like.There is no obtrusive use of props. The Corps use of body movements in the show is appropriate for the Corps and is consistent with it's theme for 2010. It's macho marching that simply works. The use of the microphone on the baritone solo works, and enhances the audience listening pleasure. The uniforms are classy. The whole ethos and vibe created is one of " Drum Corps ", which this poster prefers. The demand, complexity is all there. The Brass and Percussion playing is superb. Right from the getgo, when I first saw the Corps show in late June, I knew this Corps had the goods to challenge for a Title. I have no idea what the judges will do. ( nor particularly care ). The Bluecoats hit a home run with their 2010 show with this fan, and I thank them for that. I wholeheartedly agree and could not have said it any better!
