Agreed. I can think of a few west coast cities that gave me a very similar vibe to what I just saw.

Yeah, there's really a flavor going on there that makes me SUPER curious if this is a 'one off' production or if they're signaling for the future.

Frankly, it makes me excited for Blue Devils.  You know whatever they do, it's gonna be good.  SCV's approach to the video production had more of their "Force of Nature" show feel to how they conceived it.  BD's was all in with when they did the K-Pop bit in Ink.

I can see them turning the activity on its head next year…and I’m honestly not mad about it at all. Like you said, I too was wondering how long it would be before BD decided to throw the old formula away and do something radically different.

And there was NO crowd reaction to that video. None.

The reaction around me was indifference. “You aren’t here”

Who cares. A video means nothing.

Yah, we saw SCV shift gears with Babylon and just soar.  Next year could be BD's year for that sort of transition.

I think we're gonna see a big diversity of styles to shows next year. And that's a good thing.

I love the fact that Blue Devils do what they do fearlessly! You let people catch up to what you do best.

SCV’s video was visually a mash-up of the end of “40 Year Old Virgin”, “Midsommer”, and the opening of “Jesus Christ Superstar”. And I loved it.

 

BD’s video was a rave fever dream with occasional cameos by brass and percussion. And I am still processing it. Maybe a heroic dose of recreational pharmaceuticals will help.

IMO, the shift happen the year before with Ouroboros. Complete 180 from the 2016 show.
