2019 Bloooooooooooooocoats


Recommended Posts

Nice win yesterday Bloo!!  Love this show - can’t wait to see how the rest of the season unfolds!!

Forgive me if this has been posted before and I haven’t seen it.  Does anyone know (or can point me to a list) of ALL of the Beatles’ song references in the show?  Dean Westman mentioned in the Tour Premiere in the theaters that there were 19 total songs referenced.  Their website only seems to list the “major” songs used.

Thanks in advance!

"The title is simply just a nod to their eponymous 1968 album, 'The White Album,'" explains Westman".


The corps also unveiled the show on their own website filled with drafts of their uniforms, a full setlist, and an explanation of the inspiration for their 2019 program.

I've read complaints in the show thread about how much amplification Bluecoats have in their show.  Well, from my seat about 20 rows up in section 126c last night, Bloo's show seemed a lot more...shall we say... acoustic than the corps right before them. I mean, on the last big musical hit, that prior corps had as much horn sound coming from the speaker as it did from the field. Bloo's volume seemed like half of what came before them, but it was all coming from the field.

I thought the same thing.  The two that sandwiched Bloo were as boomy as hell.   I was in 127c row 4.

The last few years the Blue Devils crank the heck out of the Goo. To the point that they should take a hit in Music Analysis scores.

BD is also adding artificial reverb and a ton of goo to their ballad hits, which I think is hilarious compared to say Crown, which is pristine brass.

It sounds awful and it sounds like they are using it as a crutch this year.

Have you ever noticed those moments in the older accoustic shows when you can hear a horn or a section stick out as they hit your 'line of sight'?

So it goes with amps... They have a line of projection that can make certain seats unbalanced.

Oh, for sure. That's why I was careful to word it as "from my seat."

Just came from their rehearsal in Winston-Salem. This show is 10x better in person than any video. Absolutely amazing.

Also, they cut the silence between "She's So Heavy" and the pitch bend into "Hey Jude". Flow is much better.
