2008 Seattle Seahawks' BLUE THUNDER Drum Line

The Seattle Seahawks drumline (I'm not re-editing the video to make it say "Drumline", although I do stand corrected on the correct usage), BLUE THUNDER, has a procession up Occidental Ave. and then performs on the north steps of Qwest Field before every game. This is a bit of their performance from August 16, 2008 before the preseason game against the Chicago Bears.

You can always find them pregame about 45 mins or so before the game on the north staircase at Qwest. Small pieces of the line also go around the local watering holes earlier than that and then they all hook up just north of Safeco and proceed north up Occidental before playing on the staircase.

The drum line got me all pumped up before the Redskin game this year. And this is by far my favorite. Keep it up.

@dbgurl0109 ... There are about 35 of us, and we do over 100 shows a year outside of game days. We perform all year long, not just during football season.About a dozen gigs require that we all be there, but most of the time we go with about a 8-10 piece, for a couple reasons; 1) we all have normal jobs and we all can't get away that often 2) most all events have to pay for us to perform, just like the cheerleaders. (except charities & schools) and it costs more to pay for a larger group

I like how I know at least 6 people in the drumline through Snowflake Lane

@optical76 The audio is captured just fine. Sounds good from my speakers. :)

@dbgurl0109 yep hes, right. all teams have a line about this big, but they kinda split up and play for the fans in a few smaller groups. then regroup for the field performance. check out my bears tailgate drumline vid. not as good as this one but its neat to see other teams if you like drumlines. hard to capture the audio of these drums, iphone can't do it any justice.
