Hi, reading that description really inspired me and I’m happy you had such a great summer. I will be auditioning for Atlanta CV in the fall and I really hope to start my Drum Corps journey there. You’re an amazing player, I really hope that one day I will get to march with the Bluecoats. 💙 :)
I’ve always said that I like blue devils but bluecoats front ensemble writing was better in my opinion and this kind of solidified that. Bump wend CRAZY
I have to know, how did you guys manage meter in the flugelhorn portion of the balad? You’re all playing runs but the DM’s are still sitting and there’s no hands. How’d you determine tempo there?
Back a year later with the same question 😈: what mallets are y’all using Ps: I marched my first year of dci this past season and I have way more respect for the things you guys do so keep going on bro 🤙🏿
This might sound weird but you move like you're in one of those tiktoks that's filmed at half speed and manually sped up. You just put so much effort into the choreo and runs and it SHOWS.
We making it out of the chapel with this one 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
LMAOOOO

REALL!!
Ok marimba
Beautiful
Bloopit never disappoints
BUMP PERSPECTIVE WAS CRAZY
The passages at 5:03-5:38 and 7:40-8:20 are soo beautifully written & played. Killer chops as always!
They are also one of the reasons I am NOT ready for BlooPit this year :(
JP introduced me to you at San Antonio and I've realized how cool it was to meet you. I don't know how you are this good it's crazy.

Looks like IP 3003 Tom Rarick mallets (light gray), IP FS150s (dark gray softer mallet), and IP 1003 Jim Casella Mallets (the hard white ones)
Did Ben Armeni do a good job, he’s the percussion director at my highschool and he does an amazing job!
Ben Armeni is amazing! He did a great job the two years he’s been here.
