Popular Post Jim Schehr Posted July 8, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 8, 2018 10 minutes ago, Jurassic Lancer said: I’m simply not ready to consign Bloo to seventh in percussion on July 7. The drum book is written to capture the feel of the jazz idiom and not your traditional layering of rudiments within the ensemble. Bloo has a lot of environmental and physical demands due to staging and visual design. A traditional written approach with different rudiment signatures would be in direct contrast with the jazz idiom and feel. Many of these percussion judges are expecting rudiment signatures spread across percussion voices, that’s not what Bloo is laying down for an entire production. There are certainly elements of that but it’s not the basis of the writing. I would suggest that the percussion judges listen to the musical phrasing as a cohesive jazz musical idiom and stop wanting to hear a bunch of rim shots and double paradiddle diddles and triplet rolls. Trust me Bloo is plenty clean with their jazz stylization approach. As with most of what Bloo does it’s ahead of the times. 6 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging a singer has been discussed before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forevergreen Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 I see that Bloo had Maximus from Little Big Shots at one of their rehearsals. I am not sure if you remember this little guy, but a few years ago there was a video of him performing the colorguard work on the sideline of a performing HS band (age 30). He is so enthusiastic.
