skywhopper Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Saw the show for the first time live tonight. Looking great with lots of wonderful Blue Stars touches. Great strides on cleaning the music so far. I think this will sound great by August. Looking forward to seeing you again in Metamora. Thanks for a great show!

Narrow Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Anyone seen any good youtube videos of the Blue Stars playing? The best I've found is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsIZh7zD61A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
contrajedi8 Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I met a guy tonight at the Medford Airport who marched 1979 Blue Stars. Timpani. That is all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumManTx Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I'm excited to see what these three rehearsal days do to the show! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyRyder_FMM Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 It feels like a harder demand on a less experienced corps. A lot lot lot of rookies this year, most of whom have never marched. Hopefully there are rewrites in the future to make it more do-able. Houdini was one of my favorite shows by them, but Bourne felt a bit panicked comparatively. This has some of the kids looking frantic and does not play out strongly for them. Not sure where you got your information, but the vet percentage in brass is higher than last year, percussion is about the same as last year, and the guard vet rate is very high. There are also quite a few kids with prior drum corps experience - about the same as the past three years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdstar Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Gotta love Frank's ballad arrangements! For those who haven't seen: Pretty nice new corps song arrangement, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BozzlyB Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I met a guy tonight at the Medford Airport who marched 1979 Blue Stars. Timpani. That is all. Awesome. Meeting a drum corps marching timpanist is like meeting a WW2 Vet. Aint too many around anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roark1 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I finally had the opportunity to see the Blue Stars show in Minneapolis. They have a very nice show this year and did a great job. As others have mentioned, the drill is very demanding. There is a lot of top end available as they continue to clean it. I am so glad to see the Blue Stars having continued success in World Class. Go Wisconsin Drum Corps! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
