JohnD Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I just got the word that Blue Devils have released their pre-season recording of their 2011 show - "The Beat My Heart Skipped". You'll find it on the BD Mediabox. I'm listening now .... and REALLY liking what I hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_devil_fan9903 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Yeah, it sounds like a mix of old and new. Not a bad show, not sure if it'll be my favorite. Hornline sounds great as always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CUDAKITE Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Any other impressions? Should I drop 10 bucks for a subscription? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noname Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Listening to the opener. Sounds amazing. I think people are really going to like their show this year. This year's looking good. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BozzlyB Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 So here's a clip of the show, in June, well, for you suckers dumb enough to drop 4.99 on a preseason audio clip..... For Christ's sake don't throw any tidbits to the fans or anything, I mean, I realize fan friendliness hasn't been on your radar in recent years but wow. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I won't lie, I was expecting 2-3 dollars. Edited June 7, 2011 by Noname Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgg80 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Just listened 3 times to let it soak in. Impressions: - No abstract jazz here! Very musical, very melodic - Horn line sounds amazing - Opener (Home is Where the Heart Is) is beautiful, lush - Summer of 77 very strong. Can't wait to see this number with BD visual, guard - Say a Little Prayer ... predict a LOT of standing O's - Not clear how the show will close (has there ever been a year in the past 20 when it was clear?) Summary: Music is fun, melodic, open, and .. for all of those critics ... I'd say awfully ACCESSIBLE. Can't wait to see on the field! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Tanji Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 (edited) FYI, the "clip" is 10:23 long. And the quality is top notch in both performance and recording. The horn line has a beautiful warm sound, appropriate for the source material. Keyboard licks are off the charts. BD '88 fans are going to love this.

bawker Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 This is a big, big step in the right direction. Solo work, big hits . . . "Say a Little Prayer" is going to rock. If you complain that this years show isn't melodic, well . . .I pity you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Measton Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Sooooo excited for this show. From all of this hype, this season overall is gearing up to be a very good year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
