Marvelous Minneapolis Matchup


Recommended Posts

The tune they play before the 2nd marching sequence- and maybe the ballad- that groove

sorry - Bluecoats-

That may be my favorite part of this season- Geeze!!!!!!

Anyone know what I'm talking about??

BAC percussion:

Early 60's-first use of multi-keyed mallet instruments in competition

1967- first use of double bass in competition

1977- first use of "isosnares" in competition

1985- first use of electronics in competition (KORG synthesizer)

late 80's- only corps to use 40 inch bass drum on the field (bass 6) in competition, AKA "WALDO"

2002- 15 man snare line during the drum solo

2013- this year, featuring the "invisible snares"--black shells, black hardware, black pants

(that's all I've got off the top of my head)

....and I was only a hornplayer~ smile.gif

thanks for the breakdown! I grew up hearing stories about how awesome they were by my instructor.

Much better performance from Bloo this evening! Thursday sort of scared me, but this stream of the show was leaps and bounds better!

GO SCV!!!

I love the Bluecoats preshow, and opener.. very creative, a retro throwback.

Then the show sort of meanders in too many directions for my tastes, imo.

Then when I'm about to nod off they bring me back for a nice closer, visually, musically.

So all in all, its got its moments. ( Bluecoats are by no means unique in this )
