When FloMarching is taking down all the DCI videos, so the corps post their own shows

I freakin' melt every time I hear that opening hit. So gorgeous.

This show is the LoFi Hip Hop Beats to Study to of Drum Corps Shows

the props look like end rods in minecraft don’t @ me

Listen, I'm not exactly a BD fan, but I don't think anyone can disagree that this show was absolutely fantastic. Bravo.

we need more of these closers in dci. closers that are a reprise of the opener, it just makes the closer sound more grand than a different closer.

6:37 trumpet left side going absolute ham and grooving our man I wish I was him

“So when is your ballad?” Blue Devils: “ *yes* “

RIP Burt Bacharach who passed away yesterday. One of the greatest modern composers 💙

6:42 the front ensemble going ham

6:36 my man on the left having the time of his life

Whenever I hear someone say "Why is that marching band on the football field?" I show them this video. We should all be asking "Why is that football team on the marching field?" lmao

First DCI show I ever watched live. Will never forget the song from 5:58 to 7:00 , it will always be my first impression of Drum Corps.

1:55 has some spicy disney chords

My dad introduced me to the music of Burt Bacharach as a little kid. My dad passed in 2011 (I just realized the same year as this show), and when I saw this, I couldn't stop playing it, and I couldn't stop crying. Oh, I wish I had 12 more minutes with my Dad so we could hear this together.

One of the few years where the DCI community actually liked the production Blue Devils had.

TAKE THAT FLOMARCHING

This video is gonna blow up. Somebody reply in a few days to remind me Edit: It only doubled in views :/ Edit 2: nevermind the algorithm has given a second chance

6:42 they pass the vibe check

The last closing trumpet solo was everything. The best moment ever. Whoever hit that solo that year oh man you really brought it for everyone no joke dude

What really blows my mind is how this show didn't really get a huge pop from the crowd like I would be screaming cuz of how great this is.

there’s just so much heart and soul throughout, but especially at 10:53 to the end. so beautiful with the soloist

It’s almost been 10 years since this performance. I still remember seeing it like it was yesterday. A lot of memories were made watching Blue Devils😌

Ok look, im a diehard SCV fan. I dont even really like Felliniesque that much. But this show actually resonates with me. This is a BD show i actually like and it didnt even win. Although the Cadets show was killer.

2011 was the best overall year for DCI. So many good shows.

May all who have never seen this show before be blessed with its brilliance

Holy crap my heart skipped so many beats! This is by far the best DCI show ever in my opinion.

When they announced this show early on I'm like "Seriously" Burt Bacharach show? Then come finals in August and yeah...Seriously...kicked ass. This show I listen to all the time.

this is literally my favorite show ever made lol, i love it so much

BD tends to do aggressively artsy shows, so i appreciate how approachable this one was. i also feel grateful for their tasteful use of props - it seems BD takes care not to allow props to take up too much visual space, which i first thought about while watching their 2010 show.

I love it when drum corp openers get straight to the point

Cant stop replaying 0:45

You know what's wild about this song? If you play it to almost any American today, they will know it but won't know where they know it from. It's one of the great unifiers of the world, music. Someone can, without knowing it's name, who created it, anyone who played in it, where it came from, or have to know a single note of it, know the song and feel something when they hear it. This is one of those songs. It's just a beautiful piece and every bar is like a wave of emotion hitting you. I can't imagine what it must feel like to be anywhere near a live performance of it but I imagine it's pure bliss.

This should have won... so smooth, so cool SO Blue Devils. Cadets were great and also worthy of the championship, but this show had the feels that Angels and Demons just did not have. This was natural.

That closer tho. It's so dreamy and melty.

I know this may be a very controversial statement, but this is the first Blue Devils show that I’ve truly loved so much. Absolutely beautiful.

I love this production so much, I feel like metamorph was just to show off their capability as a group and solos, nothing fit together properly except for drum line and they were doing crazy shit the whole time, but this one is just amazing, the horns are amazing together and this production flows, their retuning of the drums also really helps, especially the snares, another thing is how drum line wasn’t just showing off this year so it fit well

Favorite BD show hands down!

Xylophone breaks are freaking RIDICULOUS.

This show was so technical and I LOVE IT.

Was this vid recommended for you guys too?

THANK YOU B.D.

When I was a kid in the 70's, my dad bought a kick ass stereo from Radio Shack. He played Burt Bacharach albums and other jazz and orchestrated stuff all the time on the High-Fi. Fast forward, I became a professional musician and band director. I am a school administrator now, but still play semi-professionally. Burt Bacharach schooled me on all types of rhythm, style, and harmony. The Blue Devils take on this is sublime. Love the extended chords and mixed meter. If you don't look for it, it is beautiful. Wayne Downey of course captures all the best.

This the best show out there, no one can change my mind, beginning to end.

I’m so in love with this show. This show has officially inspired me to learn a brass instrument and one day be a Blue Devil. I promise I am going to work my ass off from this day forward until i get into this program

You all put your heart and soul into this song. The emotion in this performance shows how dedicated you all are. You all are the embodiment of what it means to be in a drum core, and I'm thankful that I found you all.

This show randomly appeared in my Facebook feed months ago, and I've been obsessed with it - the sounds, the chords!!! - and other DCI Drum & Bugle Corps performances ever since. This really opened up a new world for me. I am so glad to know that there are others like me - who are really into this. I'm going to my first ever DCI competitions this year!

0:47 Replay for the opening hit, thank me later.

at 7:10 u can hear the faint “dut dut dut” lol

5:35 that dub C tho lol

i would give ANYTHING to hear the opener again for the first time

Just getting into listening to DCI and learning all my favorites and this is my favorite show. Absolutely love it especially the solos and the chords right after! Hopefully I’ll be a BD one day!

This start and end of this show never ceases to make me happy

I loved every second of this show, best blue devils show by far

I play trumpet at Hewitt trussville and our show this year was very similar to this one and I really loved it for my first year of marching. Can’t wait for next year (also I have ptsd from the trumpet feature at 5:30)

DCI is back for 2022 and I still look back to this performance. I’ll see you guys in DCI West 💙

That beginning is what falling in love sounds like.

Inspiring to hear and see such passion and musicianship. Keep bringing us more.!! Bravo.!!

Always gives me shivers and tears of emotion! Thanks you!!!

The snare break is still the sickest thing ever

I have been a fan of DCI since about 1972-73 and have been following the development of DCI and the corps since that time. When I hear the opener and closer of the BD 2011 show, I immediately begin to reminisce and my mind travels back to the 1970s. My high school marching band included a lot of BD music in our half time shows during the mid and late 70s. I had some incredible experiences during those years and some of the best experiences of my life. I was captain of the low brass section and was fortunate enough to play a number of solos during our shows. My senior year, I was drum major which was the pinnacle of my music experience. My introduction to DCI at a young age and my experience with music when I was in high school changed my life and I know it made me a better person...thanks to DCI, the Blue Devils, my high school marching band and my high school band director who molded my small high school marching band into a "drum corps" with award winning performances.

What a spirit-moving production! ... and so perfectly calibrated. Wonderful!

Shocking, I am from Bolivia and the truth I feel that the Blue Devils must have won that year, magnificent historical and legendary presentation, keep going Blue Devils Greetings from Bolivia

An Incredible Performance! Thank you to all performers, coaches, and the whole production team.

There have been few comments about the music itself, most of which was written by Burt Bacharach. An amazingly brilliant choice of material for this corps and this performance. I watch it often and weep every time at its awesome power and sheer beauty. The Blue Devils are incomparable imho. Just listen to the sound from 6:37 through 6:59--twelve seconds of such beautiful and intense sound that it will knock you off your feet.

this is becoming one of my favorite Blue Devil shows...

This is amazing, I shed a tear when I heard the entrance of the horns.

My heart didn’t miss just one beat. Beautiful!

Ok tbh I love every show all drum Corps put out as long as they put every ounce of sweat and every tear and all of their effort into their show, I think it is amazing regardless, yet there are only a few shows that can be called amazing. The ones that you listen to every day that you wish you were there. The shows that you put on replay over and over again because it was truly amazing. This show is that and more to me and I hope it is the same to you.

i feel like there would be a minimal amount of people who would agree with me, but personally, i think the blue devils deserved the win.

God, that opening hit gets me everytime. This show always makes me feel better after a long day

I can't think of a single word to describe this show other than "great"

seems like this show had a lot of amazing moments that insipired future shows, i got some bd 2014 and 2019 and scv 2018 vibes from this

Always my favorite 👏👏

This is one of my Blue Devil favorites . . . I have followed them since the late 70's. My first employment location out of the military was within one mile of the MARS practice field. I used to drive right behind MARS on a daily basis. Great memories following such champions!

I usually say my favourite BD show is the one that I'm watching, but the more I watch this one, the more I think it could be my fav. IMO it def deserves to be up there as one of their best.

This show is beautiful!!

I have this opener on my mind and it’s so satisfying to listen to

This was my first BD show, got into DCI 2010-11, loved them since

The hit at the beginning is absolutely spectacular…

I bet I have listened to this over 25 times it never gets old

I don't know, I love the percussion feature but it seems kinda underrated? I'm amazed at how the ensemble blended so well.

I love the Blue Devils!!!! 💙💙💙

the beginning is legendary

Garrett Faccone absolutely killing it at the end! Bravo my man!!!

I had no idea this show existed until this week. WOW it's good!

I think I'm crying.... OMGOODNESS so good!

The guy at 3:55 is thirsting on the girl on piano 😂

Every single one in time. Beautiful.

this and 2017 are arguably one of the best shows of the recent years

Drum set was movinnnn on this one

The world is more beautiful with this show in it.

Never gets old 🔥

Single on Valentine's Day check:

Man, glad I finally got to learn to make delicious blueberry muffins from this cooking tutorial! 👌

favorite bd show by far.

25th time listening to this and its still amazing

I’m sorry metamorph fans but this show doesn’t have shit on any other BD show period.

May you Rest in Peace, Burt Bacharach

Wow! Just freaking WOW!
