snare_guy_83 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Just went to their ensemble rehearsal and there are some insane listening environment demands. So amazing to see them put it together. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't get any Bluecoats show out of my mind and that's why they're my favorite. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bird Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Bluecoats shared this on their YouTube today. The Keytar soloist talks about how this came to be. I had no idea that he wrote his own part and has the freedom to improv. Would explain why it sounds different at every show I’ve seen. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KVG_DC Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Oh that's great. He's a Berklee College of Music student. Yeah. I roomed with a grad of that school who was in a band when I lived up in Boston so I got to be around a fair few of those folks over time. They cultivate a lot of good musical creativity. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was right in front of him at ensemble this afternoon and as he says in the video, the listening environment is crazy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NakedEye Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 It’s so fitting that, in one of the most creative parts of the most creative show of the year, he gets to create the part a bit each time he performs it. What a great experience for him (and us!) 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish they would do one for the voice talent person, too. He needs some credit, because the narration is very well done. Like, perfect inflections and timing. (I can't believe I'm saying that about a DCI show's narration.) My favorite lines are "...but I wasn't the one driving," and "...and remember, words are actions too." Flawless voice work. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashontheinternet Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 (edited) Bluecoats woke up noticed they needed to change stuff to stay competitive with Crown and SCV. Bloo is now putting up a fight and is gonna fight tooth and nail to stay in the top 3. i think they can pull it off.
