I have seen both on the interweb but that's not the same. SCV seems to have incredible member talent and a good music book but Bloo has very good member talent and a more entertaining show. The simple truth is that you don’t want to perform before or right after Bluecoats. Bluecoats are playing accessible music. You can recognize every musical passage. These tunes are burned into your consciousness. Aside from the music, those electric blue and the day glow guard costumes really POP. Visually, they are such a huge contrast to every other corps. Those busy intricate costumes or muted colors are like camouflage in comparison. SCV fits in the muted colors camp. Nobody won the best props of the night competition. Bluecoats looked a bit like a cluttered house. SCV looked like a skyscraper skeleton construction site. It was a tie. Cavaliers have a very strong musical book to listen to. It compares well against Bluecoats. Cadets have a lot of balance in their show design. Once again Blue Stars march their @55es off and their bass drum book is freaking awesome. Colts guard has a highly exposed guard book with LOTS of unison work. Colts have a really mature show design and are on their way to becoming a major powerhouse. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These tunes are burned into your consciousness. That’s the beef I have with this show right now, though. They’re “kind of” playing accessible music. Only playing a couple measures of each Beatles song leaves me wanting a lot. But then I feel even less when listening to Vanguard, so 🤷🏻♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
