Cappybara Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 They're definitely impressing me in the music caption this year! Both Crown and Bloo have really stepped up in percussion and Bloo has brought their brass up to the level of the usual BD, Cadets, and Crown 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jast45 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Here is a great review by MikeRapp--he posted it in the Nashville show thread--really great review of not only the Bluecoats but all thise that performed--check it out--a very thorough and balanced review of each shows strengths and areas of weakness. BLUECOATS All I can say is, HOLY SH**! I have never seen a crowd that electric! It was so cool to have that many people in the stands seeing this show for the very first time, and boy did they ever get it! That was the shortest 11 minute show in history! It never stops, it just grabs you by the throat and chases you to the finish. There were several times where half the crowd broke out in applause in the middle of the program. The good: This is a gold medal show. Period. I mean, really, you can pick apart things you don't like, but when this corps played as a whole corps, it was a rush of power. The way they fill the field for big corps moments was only matched by Vanguard and BD. And their lines were dead on. Everywhere. And I knew where to look. All of their company fronts were almost dead on perfect. And the audio hits were a blast to your face. The solo moments were mostly dead on, but I think there was a small miss in the ballad. The first big company front formation at the end of the opener was amazing. It was like the whole crowd just moved to the edge of their seats in total awe and blew up in excitement. The best three minutes of show design I've seen in a long time. What surprised me was how electric the section was where the guard traded turns going up and down the small ramps. The crowd started laughing with glee, and then it just built to a crescendo of applause! Surprised me. I heard people yelling in approval during that segment, something I only heard during the opening part of BD. They mashed a ton of stuff into that segment of the show and the crowd got all of it. The new ending really worked in Nashville, fwiw. The crowd cheered during the entire thing. And at the end, 20,000 people jumped to their feet and cheered. And I mean, cheered! It was truly electric. I cannot imagine this show not getting gold after watching this live. I only wish I could see it live in Indy, because it will bring the house down in a dome. I should add, I have never seen a larger pit. Holy moly, it stretched from one 20 to the other! It made the entire presentation even more impressive and overwhelming. The bad: there were three ramp slide timing misses that I saw, where someone was a little late. But the crowd didn't see any of that, they were just mesmerized by how much was happening at once. Not sure the ballad solo was immediately identifiable. They may need to have him be more identified somehow, even though I knew where he was I couldn't find him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
