Our color guard instructor marched blue coats. And our summer guy for batter was the section leader tenor. And our other battery guy is center snare for glassmen. And our head percussion guy is rob ferguson. I feel blessed.
4:52 to 5:11 is where it's at. on the move, too. really feeling the lead trumpets in this one, especially there and at the press at 6:23. i still remember that entire day vividly, even four years later.
One of my friends got one of the retractable red dog leashes they used for the "laser" beams from one of the snares at the bus lot after finals....regrets that he didn't think to get it autographed! Awesome show.
They kind of had a mid-season "lull" which prevented their scores from progressing like they had hoped. This can happen for several reasons- Everything from the kids getting bored with the show to the instructors having problems finding the right direction to take a show.
Another reason was 2007 was a ridiculously competitive year. Only very small differences in performance level separated the top 7 or 8 corps from one another.
omg i was just watching on of centervilles performances from 08 and btw that one is my fav but i absoultly love the blue coats too and n i am pretty sure that they stayed at my school once!! western brown high school but idk that was like 4 to 5 years ago lol
Our schools Marching Band is playing this for a show for this year. Bought from the BlueCoats for the critics who say we stole it. And the best part, I'm playing French Horn 5 so I get to load many parts in the marching.
This show finally made me a believer in the Bluecoats as a future contender for the DCI Championship. I don't understand why the judges failed to reward you guys in the end, but this was my favorite overall show of 2007 (though Crown was really close).
On august 4th right before the DCI thing that day, i get to go to a bluecoats rehearsal. its part of our band camp :D i am sooo excited because Bluecoats are my favorite drum corps, being from ohio myself. My life long goal is to be in the bluecoats :]
i wouldnt count it as a life goal because you age out in your thirties i think cant remember the age limit right off hand at the moment but as a young adult goal in life i want to be in the bluecoats myself
i LOVED THIS SHOW!! you guys were robbed ( score wise) and i think you did much better then you were scored. i am now and will forever be a blue coats fan. i was there in pasadena and i think you guys were amazing
ohhhhhhhhh how unbearably sorry i am for you if you never got to see their full championships performance! [i'm NOT being sarcastic...] this was one of my very favourite shows from last year! i got to see it in an iMAX theatre, not in real life, but... WOW!
im not part of the coats contra section but i can give u some advice. Relax wen playing runs period. If u tense up u'll constrict the air passage and the quality will not be so good. As for learning the music, start slow, speed it up, then take it faster than it needs to be so it will be easier at the written tempo....just a music majors advice
is there any bluecoat contras out there that could mabey help me with a couple of things. My director just bought this show for 2008 and my section might could use some help.

The show in Centerville made me try out for this amazing corp. They took down the Cavies and Blue Devils that night, and got EVERYONE screaming BLOOOO!
I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU!!! I go to a band camp called Smith Walbridge Clinics and they practice there and put on a show for us each year. This show was so awesome. when I heard they got 7th place, I was wondering why they got such a low score
bluecoats totally got screwed by their visual scores even though the beginning was amazing with the lazers. they got 3rd overall for music and thats amazing. they should have gotten so much higher
not to be weightist or anything but would it be suprising to see a fat guy make drum corp cause from what i can see all the people in drum corps are all skinny.

Ok all of you saying this hornline is fantastic are just wrong... I know this is an early season video, but really... pretty sloppy. They don't play as an ensemble it sounds like 100 individuals not one ensemble. This coming from someone who won dci I&E and The Corps Championship. Yuck.
Funny, they managed a high brass score in half the shows this season beating devils and cavies even. But I guess the judges standing in front of the horn players can hear? Every corps sounded like this in early July, especially the cadets and devils. The new B flat horns ruined blending and its tough to make them sound clean anymore. Even as clean as the devils were this year I heards lots of balance ensemble issues!
Have you ever even played a G bugle? They are much harder to get in tune... Balance and ensemble issues decreased dramatically when Bb horns were introduced. I marched with both.
I actually own an old G bugle. They produce a different sound frequency even when you play the same notes as a B flat horn. I agree newer horns are easier to tune but what I dont like is how all the hornlines sound sloppy now. You can hear each instrument uch clearer than before. The sopranos and mellos stand out WAY more. So you dont get as smooth of a blend of sound. In some ways this is easier for juding since you stick out more. I just dont like the sound they produce.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Not flaunting my awards, just wanted to make the point that I am knowledgeable. The fact is that the hornline in this show is sloppy. I'm not saying they are bad, I'm not saying or that the bluecoats suck, I'm just saying that they don't play like an ensemble in this performance... Thats it. Don't take things so personally.
If you didn't want people to take it so personally then why would you directly say that everyone else is wrong. you made it pretty personal...and your pretty full of yourself too...try to be more humble then people might listen to you.
this is just excellent...and it never gets old...I have watched it over 6 times and I could just keep watching it...great job guys...can't wait till I get my spot on the line.
It's a shame the judges stopped scoring them after mid season. They were a leader in the pack and all the sudden their score dropped. Personally I feel phantom won this year followed by the cadets and bluecoats and crown. Bluecoats made Ohio proud this year!!
This was on of my favorite next to Crown and the Blue Devils. I saw them at the DCI finals at the rose bowl. it was amazing. Blue devils won BTW. W00T!
get it bluecoats!!! i had a chance to see them in allentown, pa. they're amazing. i loved their show this year. my friend marched in the colorguard this year and she loved it.
i love this show..but its just not directed toward dci judges lol. its directed towards the fans and has that special sort of overconfident attitude to it. its also a tad trashy for those old fashioned judges. i still love it though really creative!
I loved this show just as much as the next person, home cookin', I'm from Cincinnati, so the Coats have always been my favorite... I thought this show was amazing, especially "Criminal" by Fiona Apple... I had the privelege to see this show twice, and it was different the second time around, (first time was in Fairfield, and the second was when they took out the Devils and Cavies in Centerville) but I can tell you that the show was way to dirty to win the championship
I saw them at a DCI show yesterday and it looks WAY better with their costumes. I'm SO mad i didn't record the one from the show. Although i did get some of the blue devils (which became second place) and the cadets (first place)...
I loved this show. I saw them at the DCI competition in Denver just recently. pretty awesome. They have a really creative show. Carolina Crown is still my favorite. Cadets one that night tho...ew. I hated their show, way too corny, and i just didnt like the music.
After watching, Its a good thing they have a great brass, percussion line and Color Guard. Who ever designed their drill and who ever is teaching them how to march need fired. This show visual wise is anticlimactic, and how much easier can the drill be, they should be the cleanest corp out there. BUT THEIR NOT. That's why were seeing the Cadets, Cavies and Devils leave the Coats in their dust. You talk about the Cadets having stupid narration, the Bluecoats narration is pretty lame as well.
No, the reason the Cadets have stupid narration is because they talk through-out the show while the corps is playing. The Coats use it sparingly, when the corps his either hardly playing or not playing at all. And watch at 1:11, when the front horns do a sprint across the camera. I think the ending is fantastic. The sting at the end is one of my favorite moments in the show!
Umm, the Bluecoats narration isn't lame... if you're smart. Their show is called "Criminal"... the story told is of that between... a cop... and a criminal. So what part of "You have the right to remain silent" do you find lame... when it goes so well with the show. Pay attention to detail, and think before you comment buddy.
This was an amazing show! i was on the 50 top row for most of it but not for the clinic around the one minute mark i was walking up to the stadium and could hear everything...and btw this is the show Coats beat BD and Cavies in case anyone was wondering
definitly top 5 this year, i hope it goes 1. Bluecoats 2. Phantom Regiment 3. Blue Devils 4. The Cadets 5. The Cavaliers.....but its more than likely gonna be like this 1. Blue Devils 2. The Cavaliers 3. The Cadets 4. Bluecoats 5. Phantom Regiment 6. Carolina or Scv
i agree but ever since the 05 show the cadets had, iv never liked them. but i help volunteer in the bluecoats food truck and i think they should definitely be getting better ratings than they are.
oh awesome! i really appreciate what ou do. i marched bluecoats in 99. i agree about the cadets, im not really diggin their stuff anymore. i mean, theyre the freakin cadets man! not the bergen county community theater! ya know?
I'm a snare player, very hard fan of the bluedevils, but Bluecoats definitely stepped-up this year. i think they definitely will make it to top 5, Good job contras, i luv the spin ups, beastly. still a few marching issues (1st bass seems to be a little afraid of 2nd) but ya . i think the standings will go Bluedevils, cavaliers, cadets, phantom, then Bluecoats i don't knwo what's happening with vanguard this year. but they seem to be slowly going downhill. GO BLUEDEVILS
i agree with you vanguard has been doin kinda crappy, i mean goin from 3rd in 2004 to like what 8th the next year thats not very good, that just shows anything can happen each year, i have to say 2006 vanguard had a cool show though, anyways yea i think BD is gonna win this year
bluecoats have been beating dev's in drums. phantom is almost untouchable. phantom is looking like 6th place, bluecoats perhaps 4 or 5. cavies is a disapointment, especially their line. dev's have the worst drum book.
5:40, that's the reason I wanted to become a Bluecoat. 5 years later, i finally am!

I saw them at a DCI show yesterday and it looks WAY better with their costumes. I'm SO mad i didn't record the one from the show. Although i did get some of the blue devils (which became second place) and the cadets (first place)...

I loved this show. I saw them at the DCI competition in Denver just recently. pretty awesome. They have a really creative show. Carolina Crown is still my favorite. Cadets one that night tho...ew. I hated their show, way too corny, and i just didnt like the music.

After watching, Its a good thing they have a great brass, percussion line and Color Guard. Who ever designed their drill and who ever is teaching them how to march need fired. This show visual wise is anticlimactic, and how much easier can the drill be, they should be the cleanest corp out there. BUT THEIR NOT. That's why were seeing the Cadets, Cavies and Devils leave the Coats in their dust. You talk about the Cadets having stupid narration, the Bluecoats narration is pretty lame as well.

No, the reason the Cadets have stupid narration is because they talk through-out the show while the corps is playing. The Coats use it sparingly, when the corps his either hardly playing or not playing at all. And watch at 1:11, when the front horns do a sprint across the camera. I think the ending is fantastic. The sting at the end is one of my favorite moments in the show!

Umm, the Bluecoats narration isn't lame... if you're smart. Their show is called "Criminal"... the story told is of that between... a cop... and a criminal. So what part of "You have the right to remain silent" do you find lame... when it goes so well with the show. Pay attention to detail, and think before you comment buddy.

yea, this show kicks some serious ass. should have beaten cadets at san antonio. cadets show is SO gay. talk about cheesy vocals. yea.
chuchugada 4 years ago
i agree but ever since the 05 show the cadets had, iv never liked them. but i help volunteer in the bluecoats food truck and i think they should definitely be getting better ratings than they are.
badrummer10 4 years ago

I'm a snare player, very hard fan of the bluedevils, but Bluecoats definitely stepped-up this year. i think they definitely will make it to top 5, Good job contras, i luv the spin ups, beastly. still a few marching issues (1st bass seems to be a little afraid of 2nd) but ya . i think the standings will go Bluedevils, cavaliers, cadets, phantom, then Bluecoats i don't knwo what's happening with vanguard this year. but they seem to be slowly going downhill. GO BLUEDEVILS

i agree with you vanguard has been doin kinda crappy, i mean goin from 3rd in 2004 to like what 8th the next year thats not very good, that just shows anything can happen each year, i have to say 2006 vanguard had a cool show though, anyways yea i think BD is gonna win this year

bluecoats have been beating dev's in drums. phantom is almost untouchable. phantom is looking like 6th place, bluecoats perhaps 4 or 5. cavies is a disapointment, especially their line. dev's have the worst drum book.

sweet show! could do without the cheesy vocals and the drum set in the pit though.

I enjoy the way that the 'Coats are using the vocals this year, it fits nicely.
