Let's be honest, we all pretty much knew this was the part they'd upload.

I've watched this a ton of times and it hasn't gotten old yet. The pitch-bend is great, but that trumpet player diving into/onto a bunch of color guard to end the show never fails to elicit a smile and chuckle.

10% of the chat: literally anything 90% of the chat: THAT DUTCH ANGLE

1:11 I see your dutch angle dci cameraman, I appreciate your film training

1:25 The helmet check is just so badass idk why

Fun fact, the little man that sprints at the end and jumps off the ledge was my middle school band director, Mr.Noriega

Fun fact, at finals night, when the ending power chord hit with synth backing it, you couldn't hear the electronics being amplified over the crowd cheering and screaming. We willed this show into second place and greatness

1:09 - 1:12 = Best camera shot. Ever.

This was beyond powerful that year, it made my mom cry tears of POWER. No it’s not a typo. Not tears of joy. Tears of POWER.

If a genie granted me three wishes, one of them would be to go back in time and see this show live. I have watched this like 100 times lol

My section leader said i shouldnt watch this show until i had a tv with surround sound and he ended up deciding that he would just have us all go to his house so we could see the greatest show ever asap lmao

I was there on finals 50 yard line with my cousin and we were just blow away....the video and audio can't even begin to describe what it was like to be there live.......such an explosive energy.....so proud of those kids and can't wait until next season.

Anyone else love how at 1:09 the camera angle is tilted?

I hate that the edited version takes away from how loud the crowd was blooing at the end of their performance!

I probably watch this once a week.

Whoever operated the camera for this really needs an academy award

Chills every time I hear that, it's so freaking good!

I agree that BD deserved that win but this show was just a lot more exciting to watch and listen to than any other show I've seen this year. These guys had my soul melting throughout the whole show. Never got to see them live but hearing them in IMAX was still pretty damn amazing.

2 years later and world champions

Ryan stella killed this

Still chills to this day

saw the Bluecoats alumni corps play this last night live and absolutely lost my mind

Can we PLEASE get these uniforms back

Genius! Year after year The Bluecoats continue to amaze. (LOVED the 2022 production) The program director of this corps is the best in the business! Rock on rock stars! Keep on keeping on!

I still get chills. Especially the whole show. Why they didn’t win is beyond me. This is a win in my eyes and ears.

Never fails. That release is PERFECTION!! Goosebumps everytime

this is one of a few shows that I enjoyed the opener, ballad and closer.

Blue devils has much more technical shows, built to win the championship, however they will never entertain a crowd as much as the coats.

Audio Remastering, while making the corps players sound much more clear and defined, also managed to take away the incredible crowd reaction, and toned down the actual frequency range balance during the pitch bend and the other electronic effects at the end in order to make it cleaner sounding. The live broadcast version felt a lot more natural, and like you were actually there. The crowd reaction was amazing in person.

i love when they tilt and the pitch goes down because they named it tilt

I busted when that tilt happened

I have followed drum corps almost 50 years. This is one of my favorite closers!

The first time I saw this ending 2 years ago, it literally took my breath away!

the end was my favorite part of that entire show last year.

The greatest Drum Corps show never to win a gold medal.

this show still gives my stomach a ride, It's the reason why I love Bloo :3 Although Downside Up is SO tasty and lick-a-liscious

I want to hear the camera call for that "tilt", like the cavaliers 2004 and crown 2006 vids that are up

Great Show! I can't help but love how the group involved in the "bowling pins" at the end of the show are laughing their butts off after the catch. Hilarious!

The greatest end to any band show ever!!!

These uniforms >>>

This part is incredibly awesome, but personally I think they should have uploaded the end of the ballad. It made me cry every time.

Best ending to a show ever! So much happiness.

I always watch this video while I'm pooping so I don't end up shitting my pants.

This show deserved first sorry blue devils I still love you

i love how in the end the whole drumline was just bopping to it cause this show is just a GEM. its so good :)

God I love this, the euphoric guard members at the end on the turf, especially the one who is like YEEEEEESSSSS!

Never gets old!

This is the one. Right here.

This show gives me goosebumps!!!

Chills every time I swear

Utterly fantastic!

Love this closer

That hit DIFFERENT

This was ten years ago

Chills. Every. Time.

Never noticed til I got some nice headphones and really started listening deeply into this, on the last note there is a baritone who is just really gross and playing over the entire hornline, now I can’t unhear it even without headphones I still hear that low bari just blast over top.

I LOVE this!!!!!

Of all the endings I have ever seen from a drum and bugle corps competition, this was the best ever.

Honestly great choice for this video.

Iconic moment in a powerful performance

1:02 OMG THAT CHORD IS GODLY

My marching show this year was based off of this show ending, and when I saw it for the first time, that’s when I realized I want to do drum corp, it’s so special.

Such a sick show

I love this thanks so much to my drumline friend Luke for introducing the bluecoats to me!!

The amount of courage it takes to take that leap is astounding! It inspires the ones who wish to get off this planet :)

Awesome

Dude haulin tail down field kills me every time 😂

That was cool!!

Wow these guys are good, they might one day make it to the championship!!

Ok but the actual tilt was so sick I’m in tears

I miss actual uniforms with dci corps...

that ending felt like old drum corps...the electricity

i love thx

The horns at 0:30 ... omfg I don't know what it is about that sound but its just sooo cool

BLOOOOO!

1:29 NAILED that landing. WOW. Right on time.

Ice cold to this day 💯

i always think they're booing and then i remember BLOOOOOO

My new Marching Band Director is in this I believe and I am honestly amazed.

should’ve won fight me

1:03 shivers down my whole body

Camera man is goated

BLOOOOOO

0:52 to end so many times

Quick little thing I noticed, and I'm pretty sure it's not just me because I checked a few different uploads of this same performance...Did anyone hear a trumpet jump an octave higher at the very end while the runner was making his way to the final leap?

I wish i could laugh at the end of my show :P

literally anytime I'm writing choreo for dance/vocal performance I'm like "hey can we add this"

I still don't understand how this didn't WIN!!

Rudy Noriega was supposed to be the guy that jumps off the end. He always complains a lot when we bring it up with him about how jealous he was of zak when him and director realized his drill didn’t end up fitting quite right with that visual

I'm sorry....but am I the only one disappointed in the sound of the pitch bend with the hornline? Because hearing it live has no words to describe....even seeing it in the theaters it sounded like there was no break, and that's what made it effective. Just not the same on this quality. :(

BLOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I think the score should’ve been closer to the blue devils show. Even if the technical skill was lower than the BD’s, this show was the most enjoyable of the year.

BLOOOOOOO

BLOOOOOOOOO!

Go blue

Go BLOO

BLOO!!!

My mom: if your friends jump off a cliff, do you??? Me: 1:24

What’s the announcer at the opener

Great show, great part, but there is a prevailing baritone in the end that just looses a little effect for me, I was in the nosebleed section watching this so I didn't hear it, either because of the crowd or the stadium.
