What I meant was their 2013 show had the personnel to be a 4th or even 3rd place show but the show itself wasn't challenging enough. I could be wrong but that's my take posted from the DrumScorps app This is exactly my concern for the Bluecoats as soon as I found out they were doing the Beatles. Terrible parallel here but I played a lot of Rock Band in college and played the Beatles edition on expert drums in one pass. I guess my point is- it's hard to both stay true to Beatles music and have difficult content musically. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still shocked to see bluecoats vis prof down so low as I’ve thought of them as a visually clean corps when it comes down to individual work. Brass is tight as can be and guard is exactly as expected lol. Glad to see how tight these top 3 are and you can actually see from the recaps the corps strengths that most everyone agrees on when you actually watch the show (Boston guard is top, Crown brass is top, Blue has the GE) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjeffeory Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Gotta agree with the caption scores for tonight, but man, I was impressed by the corps' shows! Good job 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of all the captions, don’t base all your opinions on percussion off one show. More so than any other caption, maybe just because I was a percussionist and think this, but the percussion judges always seemed to call it how it is more so than any other judges. A judge like prosperie won’t hesitate to drop you if you have a rough run. String together multiple wins and you know you got the goods. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Bloo to win drums against Crown Boston and Cadets is a good thing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poppycock Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 20 minutes ago, George Dixon said: Me too the use of color and scale and shape Bloo was just incredible brass line = WOW The consensus of those in the theater was Bluecoats is definitely going to be a medal contender. Boston has a far better designed show than Crown and the BAC guard is simply fabulous. Crowns brass is the diamond in their production, but there are no visual WOW moments to be found. Guard is blah. Tammy Faye was the talk of the town around us between performances. Loved her nails. 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
