This actually ended up being a little tough to edit because I used in-ears to hear the keytar on the field (it doesn't have any onboard speakers). I layered in some audio from Bluecoats' high cams that we use to record our runs so hopefully you can hear the solo a little better. Thanks again to everyone for all the love and support this season!! 6W💙🍁
What model of in ears do you use? Shure? Ety? I'd imagine clear shures would be a popular choice in this application, or maybe clear CIEMs with a UltraBAX T2 cable EDIT: Oh, it sorta looks to be a wireless set up. Did you have a wireless in ear mix as well?
Ryan, you were amazing all season! Love the hype and loved the entire show! I am a Trooper alum from the 70's and am an "old schooler" that LOVES "new school" drum corps! Also, just an FYI, Josh Hubbard (baritone/trombone) march with the high school I teach drums at and he did winter-line for 4 years with us. :-)
Ryan should honestly be in bloo's hall of fame, this is honestly as equal to how iconic metamorphs trumpet solo was, this was so amazing to listen to i swear 😭😭😭
He kinda is, since he is on one of the prop walls on the back of the field from the bluecoats 50th anniversary alumni corps. Its the very right one on the back sideline.
@@augustr.4193 the thing that sucks about that is that is probably one of the only memorable moments in any blue devils show I’ve watched (my opinion doesn’t have to be anyone else’s it’s my own opinion I could really care less if you don’t think it’s a good one) I really do like the fact that the performers of the blue devils are absolutely insanely talented, but the shows they create are just so forgettable
i had a piece in my drill where i had to moonwalk so i started saying "I am Michael Jackson" also late comment but i just got recommended this show and its the best piece of art i've ever seen, my fav dci show.
Ryan you easily became the most iconic soloist this season. Your energy and talent are hard to match and I love being inspired by your performances. Hopefully I’ll see you soon. 6W💙💙
This solo will be featured in any "Best DCI moments" videos for at least the next 10 years. And I am here for every second of it. Great work this season!
Hey man. I was at DCI Southwestern in San Antonio and was a sideline volunteer who was moving the cones. When you complimented my hat, it completely made my day. Thank you man!
You are a drum corps legend now. Twenty years from now, people will still be talking about the 2022 BC keytar soloist. Not just for the solo itself, but also for the absolute joy you took from performing it which you shared with the audience.
My band went absolutely crazy for this legend 😂 We went to a DCI comp and it rained a ton but Bluecoats still played a standing show and we screamed for Ryan ❤
The beautiful vocals were there. The clean mello playing was there. The clean choreography was there. And the energy was definitely there and unmatched. I can’t thank you enough for not only uploading this cam, but cutting to Akron for your solo to catch all those BEAUTIFUL alumni reacting to what will now go down as another Bloocoars historic moment up there with Boxer, Tilt, Dry Cleaner, Electric Counterpoint etc. I hope you keep those fingers fresh for when you have to bust it out in 50 more years ✌🏼❤️❤️❤️
I just want to pop in here and say I love all the little commentary throughout. I only played in high school and our drill instructor was a little strict so we never really “allowed” to commentate. It’s also sick to see the perspective of a 2nd (mello) player! Usually I only see 1sts and soloists (yes, I know this was made for your solo but it’s still wicked cool to hear the other parts). Sorry for the ramble. Your playing was amazing!
This show was already amazing, and then you brought out the keytar and it was just the icing on top of the cake. I can’t explain how much watching you perform this makes me feel, it’s truly like I can feel the energy and pride pouring out of you while performing so flawlessly in front of these huge crowds. I never saw it in person but I truly wish I did! BLOOOOOO 💙💙💙
Dude your solo lives rent free in my head, I literally can't stop hearing it. You killed it on that key-tar. I'm a saxophone player but this is half the reason i've decided to start learning trumpet because i would love to be a part of a corp someday. It seems like an awesome experience.
I was blown away at how warm and full of a sound that keytar has in person. I saw the Murfreesboro show live and you guys blew me away. Especially when y'all debuted the (initial) new closer and uni change. I have a video of the closer on my channel. I was so excited lol. Anyways, Congrats on Silver!!!
Dude! Just when I thought I couldn’t love you any more, I see this. I’ve been around drum corps a long time; 9 years each of marching, then teaching, then judging and now just a fan for the last 19 years. You were my single most favoritest thing of the whole season. If DCI gave an MVP trophy, it’s all you this year, brother. Thanks for a great season of entertainment.
i remember seeing your keytar solo all over tik tok and absolutely fell in love with it this show is the main reason i’m into DCI incredible solo you did amazing!!
Actually never realised you played mello then switched to keytar, i thought you just stood there a lot of the time doing nothing, this show is awesome!
I’m in a marching band and we had a whole night for the band to come the the band room to watch DCI Finals and I really wanted you guys to win keep up the good work!
Literally inspired me to get myself a good keytar to express myself on. You truly are an inspiration, man. Keep up the good work and good luck on whatever stuff you plan on doing in your future!
you guys were literally amazing this year. I watched dci with my friends in the hs band room. I march also and it's so much fun! loved the keytar solo, it was sick! 🎸
That was a wonderful performance with the keytar, I absolutely love the harmonies for that show, this makes me want to do drum and bugle corps now. Anyway time to practice to get in hopefully in a couple years.
I haven't been in marching band since 2000 and it's things like this that bring back that sparkle in my heart that I felt then. Great show, lad and also your comrades! Love the enthusiasm and energy.
I got goosebumps completely with your interpretation, I saw that you played this keytar with your soul, I am very happy for people like you. so it gives more gas to our soul. what a great presentation
honestly the keytar is what made me watch the full show. at first i though the show was boring but then that keytar came in and i was screaming. good playing!
This was SOOOO amazing. I was lucky enough to watch this from the stands that Friday since I’m apart of Warren Central’s Gold Brigade. This had to be one of THEE best things I got to witness in person and it just makes me appreciate music even more and actually helps me take on music in a different way especially with my current solo. Warren Central Gold Brigade Marching Band love you ❤️❤️❤️❤️⬛️🟨⬛️🟨
A goddamn memer while being an amazing soloist and just plain enjoyable to watch. Definitely showing this vid to my gf. 100% will start learning an instrument during uni. Such a shame I've never really gotten to it Edit: ALSO THAT TRANSITION TO THE OTHER STADIUM AT NIGHTTIME WAS MINT Love from Hungary :D

Got a question what type of keytar is that i want to buy one
@@MichaelMartinez-bn9hx It's a Roland AX Edge keytar, they're around 800
What model of in ears do you use? Shure? Ety?
I'd imagine clear shures would be a popular choice in this application, or maybe clear CIEMs with a UltraBAX T2 cable
EDIT: Oh, it sorta looks to be a wireless set up. Did you have a wireless in ear mix as well?

Didn't realize you were on bluecoats until I saw the tiktok clip of the keytar.

Nah this is great but it doesn’t match up to Javier
Good but definitely out of metamorph’s league

@@bormga3981 metamorph is the only BD show I can watch over and over and not forget it. Ask me about any other show and you'll probably get "huh?"
The vocal commentary has me WEEPING 😭😭😭 I love his character
You should hear some others from other sections they can be so funny man
5:02 “It’s not a phase mom, it’s the real me” Perfectly describes the movements you’re doing before and after you said that line.
Bro that had me dying
@@echo3568 eh
Just gonna keep this at 69 likes
lmao
i had a piece in my drill where i had to moonwalk so i started saying "I am Michael Jackson" also late comment but i just got recommended this show and its the best piece of art i've ever seen, my fav dci show.
This guy is my spirit animal
All of the random little words he says
10/10
yes
yes
Ryan you easily became the most iconic soloist this season. Your energy and talent are hard to match and I love being inspired by your performances. Hopefully I’ll see you soon. 6W💙💙
5:00 “It’s not a phase mom, it’s the real me!” 😂😂
bruh im dying right now. lol
Bacon ravioli
KELP💀💀💀
that's when I lost it 😂😂
I just played part of your solo as a cadenza for a postlude at my church this morning
Do you have a video??? That’s so funny omg
@@ryandavidjacobs ruclips.net/video/Xdz4S6wCWu4/видео.html I play it at 46:21 in the video
Epic
LEGEND. DAIRY!
Well, it literally takes me to church EVERY DAMN TIME, so yeah… that tracks.
Today I learned the keytar soloist marches mello. So so metal.
Gotta love being a mello
This solo will be featured in any "Best DCI moments" videos for at least the next 10 years. And I am here for every second of it. Great work this season!
next ten years? I think of all time
Hey man. I was at DCI Southwestern in San Antonio and was a sideline volunteer who was moving the cones. When you complimented my hat, it completely made my day. Thank you man!
Okay this comment is awesome, makes me realize this guy is just a genuine guy who is out there having fun.
!!!!
You are a drum corps legend now. Twenty years from now, people will still be talking about the 2022 BC keytar soloist. Not just for the solo itself, but also for the absolute joy you took from performing it which you shared with the audience.
I need to re-experience keytar solo in person again for the first time cause BRO
When I went to dci Denton I was half asleep so I didn’t remember it that well
@@slimjimmy5159 I got to sit really close to the sideline for Denton, so lucky
@@slimjimmy5159 how, no literally *how.*
Sent chills down my spine when I heard it😭
Watching this has me tearing up bro it was a pleasure to share the field with you and tear it up. 6W
My band went absolutely crazy for this legend 😂 We went to a DCI comp and it rained a ton but Bluecoats still played a standing show and we screamed for Ryan ❤

This video made me realize that band kids never really change, even after high school

Sorry for the ramble. Your playing was amazing!
I LOVE that you spliced in the solo from Akron with the alumni corps watching! We were so hype in the stands that night!
Not ryan jumping between props with a 12 hundred dollar Keytar like its no one's business. Excellent solo, hope to maybe one day join a corps
Your energy is amazing!!! How could anyone NOT have fun being in a show with you?? Great performance; you were born for this kinda thing!
this was my fav head cam of all time
True. Legitimate. Legend.
At least you had the courage to tell your mom it wasn’t a phase
This show was already amazing, and then you brought out the keytar and it was just the icing on top of the cake.

The amount of fun your having in this video has made me get off my phone and practice more so that one day I can have as much as fun
I’m so glad I got to see you in Indy, this performance is going to inspire people for years to come 💙

“It’s not a phase mom it’s the real me” is my favorite vocal alongside “that vocal was cut”
Loved it man, far out. I marched in the 90’s, great job!!!
definitely in the top 5 bluecoats keytar soloists of 2022
Dude! Just when I thought I couldn’t love you any more, I see this.

Your commentary is perfection, had me straight giddy for half the video. Plus that keytar solo was straight wicked, you fricking legend!
this solo added such an amazing texture to the show. amazing job ryan!!
Was at the show in Tomball Texas and watching the keytar solo was the most breath taking thing I have ever listened to
i remember seeing your keytar solo all over tik tok and absolutely fell in love with it this show is the main reason i’m into DCI incredible solo you did amazing!!

Literally inspired me to get myself a good keytar to express myself on. You truly are an inspiration, man. Keep up the good work and good luck on whatever stuff you plan on doing in your future!
