In this new era of staged musicians, Knights taking real risks visually, by moving and playing so much, and with such effective drill. Unfortunately, they are dirty as all get out.

Ok, confession time. I didn't like the dark Blue Knights before this latest incarnation.  I love the last many years of Blue Knights shows!  They just have the most fresh musical ideas in both the brass and percussion.

Thanks, Blue Knights!

Do get back to a little more aggressive stuff next year though. No complaints, but want that side of you too.

I agree.  It’s very engaging and emotional. Last night, the hair stood on my arms during their show. 

But I agree the viz needs a good scrub.

Agreed on the visual, it’s completely saved by the amazing musical moments from start to finish. One of, if not the only show where I can just listen and don’t need to see anything.

BK delivers old school DCI and keeps it current without make it so much WGI.

Actually. It’s very much like a Broken City show with amazing brass woven in.

I want more from BK's show as a drum corps show....but the music is so hauntingly gorgeous, that I just give myself up to it and let it be enough.

I agree with you, which is interesting since a few years a common critique for BK was that they were one of the more WGI corps in DCI.

Its where DCI is at right now IMHO. WGI (Perc/CG) with Brass.
