They then switched it up in 2018 to the design style they have right now which isn’t my cup of tea at all. Fingers crossed they change things up again next year Yes agreed. The sort of techo vibe should have been explored more before we started channeling the 60s and 70s lol. I thought session was an extremely effective show and deserved 3rd, but the beatles show was kind of like this, more staging and aesthetic and less about drill. Well, less drill 😛 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. It’s the fact that they keep pushing that makes me love them, as opposed to other corps *cough cough* who keep flooding the judges with the same content Edited July 22, 2022 by fanman 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Visually, they have gotten increasingly sophisticated, but if it doesn’t hit you right it eould not be enjoyable. This show is not nearly as melodic as any of those shows. In terms of the mood it’s creating, I think I agree with you 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't only take so much of it. lol That’s exactly what the original ‘Nautilus’ is trying to make you feel, IMO — it’s like you’re experiencing a bad trip. (Doesn’t mean you have to like Bloo’s version, obviously) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jwillis35 Posted July 22, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 22, 2022 Oh yeah, BLOO! Such showmanship! The Bluecoats are such a creative corps. I marvel at the sheer guts to stage this production. Some may not like it but I just LOVE this show. I suspect as they clean and get the corps healthy to fill those holes that this will be a serious contender for a medal as well. This is one show that potentially could give BD a run if things fall into place. Narration did not bother me. I feel it is needed. It adds an element of cool to the show. The props are wonderful. Well used. The caption strength is strong here. Brass are playing way better now. Percussion is so tasteful. The guard totally sells the show. There are so many things to love about this show and the energy in that 3rd segment with the keytar and all those wonderful grooves is really beginning to amp up. That section with a little more energy at the end should have the crowd on its feet and Finals. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of the mood it’s creating, I think I agree with you I’ll have to go back and review those shows’ music - which will be a pleasure. I remember some gorgeous ballads but some other music more rhythmically driven. Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
