Going on my 30th year as a fan and a participant, it is this corps and Madison, to which I always have looked forward to seeing the most every year. 1988 Bloo was the first show I ever saw live. Later I learned about what fans discovered about them in 87- (so many cool stories on how that corps earned its following). I was in the crowds and saw reactions from 93, 94, and especially 95-which had a very strong emotional connection to the crowd. Not to digress, but I feel this organization has arguably been one of the the most entertaining over many decades. What they have done in this decade is extraordinary . But to really understand the corps, its worth us "older" fans to note the corps history to younger fans who are into Tilt, Kinetic Noise, "the wink" etc, and let them know about C Jam Blues, The WWII tribute, Seasons of Jazz, My Funny Valentine, etc. and all things in between. This said, seeing them in the theater Thursday night was the continuation of so many years for me in being entertained. Thanks Bluecoats for always being that corps thrilling crowds year after year. I was just thinking that Bluecoats seem better than most at being very competitive and entertaining as well.

I think of it as more of a tribute myself. I don’t think they could do the show without trying to emulate them in every way. I can see that. Was just a thought!

Now, the crowds freaked out every time they performed, especially during the "OOOOO"s during When I Saw Her Standing There, or any of the other multiple songs they put those in for that effect, but I don't think Bluecoats expect us to lose our minds over this. I think they used it because their show is self titled, and works with how Ed Sullivan announced The Beatles. Gotcha, maybe I misconstrued the idea. I tend to overthink things in drum corps 🤯 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you watch the Field Pass interview with Dean, he explains that the design team has always been obsessed with the Beatles, and many of the concepts Bluecoats are now known for came from the Beatles. It's not meant to compare Bluecoats to the Beatles, but rather to show the inspiration they received from them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
