You could tell back then the direction this Corps wanted to go in. They were pushing the limits of what drum corps was. Nobody was doing what they were doing. After 2016 though everyone wants to be the Blue Coats. That’s just vision plain and simple.

@@dhdusidjdjso The horn line is faced in such a way that the direction of sound is pretty much exactly aimed at the microphones on the opposite sides of where they are staged. Lows were panned left and highs panned right. It may have been a happy accident, but it read as intentional in the theater as the hornline faced forward and the sound cross panned. It gave the moment this kind of untangling effect. Thematically it falls in line with the show's use of technology.

2010 and 2009 are such strange years in DCI. Synthesizers are played sparingly, even though all the Finalist corps had them; there's a lot of drill; there are few props, and the change-uniforms-every-single-year-for-the-hornline craze hasn't started yet.

So much choreography and so much drill to remember. I remember it being like 10 mins atleast. Anyways that field judge on the drumline reminded me of that one competition I went to and a field judge was following our section around and a different one following drumline, like these judges took their job SERIOUSLY. I think some of us got nervous and rushed a lil too :/ Also reminds me when I was bouta run a field judge over standing IN my dot and standing in someone else’s (which I think they had to run them over.)

Funny story, in our arrangement of Asphalt Cocktail we didn't march in any of the eighth note mixed meters. It was alternating bars of 4, 3, 2, and even one set that was a single quarter note to a bar. The drumline read the music in the mixed meter I believe, but all of the foot technique was done to the quarter note.

The bluecoats had a brass podcast series going last year (2020). There are 2 episodes from may and June where they're going through Bloo's best ballads by fan vote, and they interview Doug, DMac, and Derek Gipson. Doug talked a bit about the 2010 ballad changes from that camp to what we eventually had. Worth a listen IMO.
