The thing people have to realize is that just because it's not difficult per se doesn't mean that it's not great. They play the book insanely well, and most importantly, it's what the music calls for. the book for the winds matches the drumline book. They perfectly compliment each other, which is why they got first this year.
The tenor feature was definitely my favorite part. The only good thing about their show in my opinion was the pit, their choice of having "Flight of the Bumblebee" in it, and the snare and tenor feature in the show.
Ya, SCV maybe be cleaner but you have to realize the devs book is a lot harder, plus they add a lot of body movement SCV doesn’t usually do and to top it off the system blue drums are a work in progress so you can’t really argue with that, especially if you don’t have any marching experience
they really are ying and yang SCV plays the logical stuff and BD says hold my beer. part of the activity is to play the cleanest but also part is to show what you got. Crusaders invented Ghost Flams in the old days which turned into "ghost note" which is actually a grace note but the tap or accent has been ghosted.
Also the 4 tenor players actually start the show off as snare players. You can see a body cam of the snare/tenor footage from miles kennobie. Legendary video
sumbooodeeee Well, he gave Vanguard a higher overall score (19.70 to BD's 19.65) and gave both corps 99s; Vanguard in continuity, BD in achievement. Not sure where you heard him say they "played cleaner than Vanguard finals night"; that would be a highly unprofessional thing to say on a judges tape and not like JP at all, plus the numbers and the Sanford speak for themselves, even though BD was great this year and deserved the GE win and thus the championship.
I agree that SCV constantly kills BLUE DEVILS. However, the BD snare break and tenor break this year was very nice! I like Bluecoats all around writing much more. But SCV is like a robot gang. Very rarely do they have trashy parts due to bad playing.
BD's book seemed so lacking this year. Which is weird because people said that about last years book! But just watch a GoPro of 2016 BD Snares and 2017 and they hardly play the entire show!
They axed a ton of the book last year because the drums barely projected. I would primarily blame Evans because they sound less lively to me tonally than Remo, but it was revealed to be the construction of the drums and their muting techniques which have been obsolete for years.
@@ryanjohnson9650 bro where’s your vid playing through all this this stuff? Didn’t you say you could play through it? I wouldn’t put yourself up on that pedestal. Just saying.
Those Natal drums sound like they're straight out of a pipe band competition. Wow, that's cool. Having said that, while I appreciate the artistry and extremely hard work it takes to get to this level, the dancing, squatting, leaning, tipping choreography is getting really, really old. The BDs don't take it to the depths of the Blue Knights or Bluecoats, thankfully, but it's past time to put the WGI shit to rest. And no, I'm not old -- just a DCI fan that would love to see and hear some dynamics again and watch drumlines acting like drumlines instead of like an extension of the color guard.
To me, the movement adds to the performance. There is a level, though. Especially when it gets to the point that they're sacrificing slamming notes for body movements. It looks great in the first movement though, especially when they're with the full corps.
back in the early 70s guys in the drumline wore Boston Crusaders shirts because they pioneered that style. SCV got Fred from Troopers which is a different style one is cleaner the other is flashier and if they pull it off they win. the big championship is the title to BD. SCV is the eppitome of ensemble . Going to shows here is the best cuz you get to see both. I always wear a little SCV with my BD jacket. it's all about Family here. we don't boo at shows like those entitled one hit wonders do when they come here. that is why West dominates. We hype each other.
BD may have come cloe to SCV on Finals night, but SCV was clearly the dominant linethis year. For you to say BD "had a more challenging program...definitely a better written program" just goes to show 1) you know nothing of what you speak and 2) your bias.
Inspadave I agree. BDs book really disappointed me this year. Nothing difficult about it really. Tap rolls and flams the whole time. Compare that to SCV, Blue Coats or Cadets where they're playing really really difficult stuff. Just ramming notes the entire show, and it's clean. BDs were clean, but really boring. Still love them, I just wish the writing would improve.
BD's entire opener is a bunch of snares playing extremely basic stuff? also, SCV's drumline is running around the field practically the entire time, while BD has numerous standstills for most of their biggest moments.
Mark Miller have you ever seen a good drumline before in your life? Not to mention your very obvious bias, as you said that SCV wasn't lightyears ahead, but then immediately turned around and said BD "whipped" SCV. BD played their easiest book in several years and were standing still a lot more often (they just ran to their sets, rarely marched), and still only scored barely higher than SCV on achievement. Meanwhile SCV was playing one of the hardest drumline books in recent memory and marching huge steps around the field while doing it. Your comment is dumb AND biased, which is a very dangerous combination on the internet
The thing about the BD battery books, to me, is that they do exist outside of the bigger picture. Instead of being being a part of the brass and FE books in the case of the Rennicks, or Mapes/Grom, BD's battery parts exist alongside the brass/FE. Maybe in a couple of instances the roads cross, but they never merge. That is not to disparage what or how they play. They have some cool licks, and I have hell of a time figuring them out, but that is what a lot of their stuff sounds like to me; licks, and not a cohesive and integrated part of the bigger musical picture.
It was a throwback to early Blue Devils. That's actually a part from a very early show from the 70's. That's why the 16 snares were there. Paying homage.
Ok unpopular opinion but the bass line show beats are unbelievably disappointing, like they have some pretty dope runs ill give them that and ill sure as hell never be able to do what they can but these incredible musicians work so stupidly hard to get into a top corps and especially the Blue Devils but the beats they're playing just really don't seem to show of their ridiculous and incredible talents in my opinion.
I KNOW THE DANCING WHILE PLAYING THING IS WICKED DEMANDING, ITS JUST ssssoooooooooooooo OVERDONE. iT DOESNT HAVE ANY EFFECT AT ALL, BECAUSE EVERYBODY IS DOING IT. also, DID I HEAR A LOT OF EEEKKKKKKK COMING OUT OF THE SNARELINE?

hi. ༼ʘ̚ل͜ʘ̚༽
Why weren’t you in BD 2017?
bd's book was so much better this past year and people still continue to diss them for some reason
I saw you weren’t in 2017 how come? And what year do you age out?
Luke Cullen His last show was last years show.
I been on a dci/wgi binge lately.. this 17 line is insane

Looks like all 4 are 2016 vets and age-outs.🤩
Quads playing sounds amazing but it can’t just be me who doesn’t like the sound of system blue quads at least the old ones in this video
Really cool lot sound design with the riser at 5:36. Super innovative and really builds into that next phrase.

The groove is strong with these ones
Got that Bill Bachman tenor tuning.

Right as the full brass plays at the start of the show.
In the opener about 1-2 minutes in
Like 1-2 minutes into the show. Sounds insane with the brass
Does anyone know why Brandon Olander didn’t march this year?
He marched four years of corps prior to 2017 and marched the two years after. I’d need a year off too if I were him.
@@DrumlineArchives ahh ok that makes a lot more sense
school
Hold up, if that is a 16 snare opener, and there is 18 people in the drumline then where did the other 2 people go
Basses 4 and 5 just chilled behind the stair cases in the right side of the field.

Each of these books are equally hard in their own way, it's almost impossible to compare unless you're a trained judge.
