oldbandguy Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 I watched the rehearsal of the 50th Anniversary Bluecoats Alumni Corps tonight. I'm not going to give out any of the show secrets, although most will be known tomorrow night after their performance in Akron. All I'm saying is a NEW STANDARD is being set for Alumni Corps performances at DCI semifinals Friday night. 425 members doing it the Bluecoats way. If you can come out and see them live tomorrow night you will NOT regret it!!! ps the 2022 version of the Bluecoats did a full run tonight for the Alumni Corps. It was indeed their best run of the year. Tomorrow night is going to be FUN! 8 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orwellian Wiress Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Not a big fan of alumni corps here, but it's the freaking Bluecoats. My favorite group in all of music history. There's no way I can walk away from a Bluecoats performance and not be completely wonderstruck and amazed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brassboy Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 (edited) DCI released a video feature today about the Bloo Alumni Corps and they sounded INCREDIBLE! Definitely made me excited to watch them. Edited August 8, 2022 by brassboy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drum Corps history is important despite what “some” people think. And who cares what they think anyway?

If Flo indeed stays on through the announcement of scores then that would include showing Bloo Alumni. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSnareDrummer Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 425 members divided by what...48,000 SF of space on a football field. That's about a small bedroom size of space per MM to move around. Better leave the props at home, Bloo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bold statement looking back at what alumni corps like 27, Star and others have given us in the past, but boy am I hoping you're right. 425. Holy hell. When they get to the big hit in The Boxer you may have frightened neighbors calling 9-1-1. Edited August 8, 2022 by Super Don-O 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
