My first year of high school this show motivated me and helped mold me into who I am today! I was a freshman and the snareline consisted of three seniors and I. We used their floor in 2016, flipped it over and painted on it. It was rewarding feeling as if we were paying homage to the ‘man in the arena’ every time we folded the floor. Being so young, watching this show pushed me to put out maximum effort and fully focus every run. That year Escambia placed 5th in Open Class Finals with a 93.988 and a top 3 finish in hands! Cleanliness is forever!
that one guy that was center snare...in one of the performances got hit in face in the fight scene for real...and he was so bloody and it got on the tarp so they kept it for effect.
I remember when you guys were practicing that insane bass split between first and second bass at the Bluecoats auditions this year and thought dang that is amazing. I never thought that would be in a show. Great job guys you all deserved the win this year.
Everytime I watch Bluecoats or RX, Tom always looks like he could kick someone's ass, but then, seeing him in this video, he's like the coolest dude ever.
The drum set guy is a magician! Watch him just groovin' along at 6:25, then effortlessly remove his shirt in an instant at 6:31, followed by a mystical reappearance at 6:39, just in time for his big fill! What a legend. :)
man, i got emotional listening to the people who aged out. I just finished my senior year of my high school drumline. We medaled for the first time ever in TIA. I hope to god I'll be able to be a part of another line while i'm in college.
+TheSweatynipples i know this is all late and you probably got an answer already but i will answer anyways lol. the reason it looks like they have shirts one second and then none later is because since they were only rehearsing, those were takes from several different run-throughs put together in post-edit. in cases where they maybe wanted to change out a part where a screw up was caught on camera or they only had one camera to record so several takes were taken to get the many different angles. one of the two but i hope i made things clear enough lol
It’s been 10yrs and I still get the goose bumps
Every great thing about WGI and this activity is in this video.

Two years later, this is still inspiring
Kevin Huynh 7 years later and it’s still inspiring
Bob Daniels 7 years and 6 months later and this is still inspiring
I was 6 when this happened, now I’m 16 lol
Over 10 years later it’s still inspiring
Came back to this 9 years from my comment, still a banger
I can't help but cry when I see this. I love you guys. Best age-out ever.
Gaspirini's little speech towards the end "I'm agin out I'm done I'm just done" had me weak
Center marimba is so fun to watch. Amazing video
I wasn't in the mood to practice today. Then I watched this. My hands are burning.
This was the best part of high school, being able to rehearse with these guys and see them every week for five months. Awesome group of people! :)
This is now my favourite video I have ever watched on this website. Tear-jerking presentation.

Watching the best drumline in the world!!! Incredible guys!!!
Almost forgot to watch this today.
This is also a damn good video to show anybody. Props to you who put it together!
I've watched this a million times. It's perfect.
God. Being in WGI finals watching this show was absolutely indescribable.
Dude wow. we're 100% friends right now
He hurt his left wrist really bad. He tried to tough it out but he couldn't. This was his ageout season at Bluecoats too, it sucked really bad.
Bluecoats. Bluecoats everywhere!
0:42 Looks for dirt
0:48 Leaves empty handed
So inspiring. I hope to join this group some day.
Loved this. Nice work X...in, and out of the arena.
I love watching up close WGI videos. You can see every microexpression on the performers faces
the fighter plus loose equals one hell of a song.
still love this show. get's me everytime :')
indoor drumline combines my two favorite things: drumming and DANCING!!! Yipee.....

That "OOOWWW" at 4:06 will now forever be apart of this show for me. I mean, it just fit in so perfectly lol.
Best thing you ever can see love this
Watching this made it 20 degrees colder in class
I felt like i was on a spaceship.
This video is truly inspirational.
deeeeyyuummm! That Bassline!...and snareline!...and quadline!.... and Cymbal line!... and Front ensemble! Congrats guys!
For real man? My apologies for being one of the few battery people that even acknowledges front ensembles.
I couldn't help buy get choked up near the end there. I am so glad I got to learn for some of these amazing people. I can't wait until next year X. :)

Such a beast show the shirts from the guys in the pit melted off by the time the closer came in.

Anyone notice the marimbas sometimes have shirts and sometimes don't? Hahaha.
This is an amazing video! RX wasn't too shabby either. 98.2
didn't know there is an age limit in WGI....these kids ( kids?) are much too talented to just be "done"....
Two of the snares marched center snare for Bluecoats. Nooooo wonder

7:13 Bass 3 broke his mallet at the end

Awesome show guys! Muse would be proud!
Can anyone tell me what name song on mov. 3?
Do you want it? Do you want it? ;)

He broke his foot during finals week. So I guess they didn't have him rehearse so he could bare the pain for the prelims and finals runs.
1:30 7 snares
1:36 8 snares
