One of my top Bluecoats shows and shows in general. Not sure why more people don't talk about it more, it's not underrated, but not brought up nearly enough!
I feel like Kinetic Noise is one of the best examples of how electronics can be used in Drum Corps. Creating a massive soundscape like they did is just so unique.
History lesson. The Bluecoats first made finals in 1987. Throughout that season some started yelling Bloooo and it grew though out the season. By finals it had caught on. Bloooo has been the signature cheer every since.
I love this show so much, one of my top 5, and I've been a fan since 1977... Thank you to whoever sent her this video, it is the best I've seen of this performance. AMAZING!!! Goosebumps and tears every single time!
This should've been Bloo's first win. Even with as good as Inferno was, this was the best show of 2015 and they honestly had the best run of the top 4 finals night! Crown had their best run on semis and no one came close to matching the energy this show had and still has through every viewing I've had of that years top 3. But alas the judges saw differently.
2015 was kinda an insane year. BD was just stupidly hard and stupidly clean, Crown had the audience drawn into the story, Bluecoats had such a unique energy, and Cadets brass was insane. Honestly, any of the top 4 could've won and I would've been fine with it.
The creativity of these bands never fails to amaze me. What a great performance. The amount of practice needed to achieve this level of precision of marching and music must be astounding. All I can say is bravo BLUE COATS.................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They ended up in third place! Second place was Carolina Crown "Inferno", First was Blue Devils "Ink". There is a bit of contestation between who should have won that year. You should definitely check out the second place and first place performances and tell us what you think!!! I personally think Crown should have won!!!!
Well Ya know. Three GREAT SHOWS But Ink out did them. Sworn inferno was going to win, but between semi and final night, inferno was better on semi final night. The energy and performance level wasn't the same on final night, Ink rose from the ashes and out performed inferno. There ya go
Crown deserved second. That’s what a dirty drumline will do to a show with higher GE. Fact of the matter is Devs rose to the occasion while crown didn’t yet again. You want a championship your best show HAS to be the last one. Devils do that consistently. Personally I like inferno more but crowds aren’t the judges.
I remember seeing that show for the first time. It still gives me chills. I love the "Holey Moley" reaction! Side note, I attend a number of performances throughout the season and I can't tell you how many people turn to me and ask why we are "boooooing" the band. I don't mind explaining to them that no, we aren't boooing them. We are BLUEOOOOOOOOOOOOOING them. Thank you for reacting to this show Ms. Coulston.
I remember seeing this show live in San Antonio. It was my first time ever seeing drum corps live and this show just almost brought tears to my eyes. Bluecoats 2015 will forever have a place in my heart 😤💙
Having been there that night, this was by the far the most electric show put on by anyone. Personally, my favorite musical rep of any 2015 finalist! It's a shame that this night is more remembered for Crown finishing 2nd (a deserved 2nd by the way, but that continues to be an unpopular opinion I've held since that night). My biggest takeaway from that is that this corps was going to win a championship next year, especially considering they had rallied through the middle of the season onward to come within 0.715 of a championship on this night! And wouldn't you know it, I was right :) Keep the great content coming, Courtney! I absolutely love seeing the joy radiate from you watching all these great performances!
This and Crown were my favorites that year. That opener was gold...and overall, the solid ensemble time and just the overall execution of that difficult material (as an ensemble) was awesome.
So as always love the dci reactions they make my day and also the saying BLOOOOO not BOO lol but you were close. And again it's always a pleasure to watch these videos.
I am fairly tight with a few older Bluecoats alumni, and the rumor is that they nearly went bankrupt this year. I really hope you are able to see this live in person, but to be honest there are no guarantees. And the Bluecoats are probably one of the most financially stable organizations in DCI. Beyond worried am I.
Boston Crusaders 2017, 2018, and/or 2019. All really good. Bluecoats 2018 is a lot of fun. Also you would really enjoy WGI as well. Look at Pride of Cincinnati " Summer of Love". I think you'll be hooked.
I love this show. I remember seeing them when they came to drums along the rockies in denver. One of my favorites in 2015. Love your reaction hope to see more. I did send you some general recommendations I hope you get around to those.
Top 5 favorite DCI shows: 5. "Downside up" Bluecoats 2016 4. "Ink" Blue Devils 2015 3. "Kinetic Noise" Bluecoats 2015 2. "Babylon" SCV 2018 1. "Tilt" Bluecoats 2014 I started marching band in 2014 and Tilt was the first DCI show I absolutely fell in love with and after that, I was obsessed. The amount of work these people put into these shows is insane
This show is worth multiple listens. Especially with good headphones. “Kinetic noise” means sound in motion. Every phrase you will hear measures bouncing between left and right ears. On the field they would space out and alternate which groups were playing certain measures at a time. It takes place the entire show. It is represented in headphones as well as it was live. It’s like if there were 2 people, each standing on a different side of you and they read the sentence “I went to school” together but the one on the left read the 1st and 3rd words and the one on the right the other. Your left ear would hear “I... to...” your right ear would hear “...went...school” but your brain would stitch it all together in a weird way. The best example is with the tubas in the opener in my opinion.
This show is the greatest show to listen to with headphones, sure they didn’t win that year, but they made an amazing piece of music that is infinitely replayable.
One of my favorite shows! Haven't heard it in a while! I would love to see a corp make a show with this same energy next season! I personally feel like this past year lacked that energy and even then, some of the shows were still jaw dropping. Especially Boston Crusaders and Santa Clara Vanguard in 2019
I have to bring back this oldie but a goodie. I haven't heard "they're not booing, they're bloo-ing" in a minute. But yeah Court you had it right the first time. It's "Blooooo" not "booo" 😆
Best thing about 2015 was my beloved Devils coming from 4th in quarters to win it all finals night. It was BDs first come from behind victory. The little girl in that show, ten year old Clara (now 15 years old), i personally believe she carried BD to that championship. She brought the whole show together. And of course we can't forget all the BD haters who gave me alot of salt for my french fries that night lol. Loved it. Cause regarding BD winning it all, there isn't a damn thing they can do about it! DO IT UP DEVILS!!!!
Thank you for watching the show! I love all the corps, but year after year, the Bluecoats bring by far the most innovative and emotional shows. Every year they push drum corps to a new creative dimension. I just love watching your reactions. And I’m sure the performers and staff from all the corps value your appreciation. You absolutely must experience it live at some point!
I love your reactions to these so much!! There are a lot of AMAZING high school band programs you should check out to! Look for Leander Highschool band 2019 and 2016 at the grand nationals competition! It’s the highest level competition in the states! You’d be surprised what these kids can do!
Love me some Bluecoats!!!!!! I think Crown that year was hosed and the Bluecoats as well. I wouldnt have placed the BD higher than 5th, but I grade much higher for better general effect. Never a BD strong point although their shows are clean and near perfect.
A suggestion for halloween: The Cavaliers -Immortal ruclips.net/video/0o0ZaUjHcRE/видео.html or The Academy- Drum Corpse Bride ruclips.net/video/WY0D9MpIa3s/видео.html
Video 2 of asking her to react to WGI especially Pulse Percussion 2017 "The Uninvited" (which has a haunted house theme. Fit for Halloween. Also Courtney if you see this, disgard that last comment on the other dci video about Broken City 2017. That was the wrong show.)
I was there finals night in Indianapolis, I saw this show 3 times during the season. A recording doesnt do justice to this show. Have you ever seen those 360 degree videos? They did that with sound. In the stadium they where making sounds come out different parts of the fields, they used live recordings to warp sound and live looping to double the size of their sound.
There was a point during the performance that one of the color guard members had to kinda get out of the way of one of the field judges. I don't know how it works in DCI (I was only a member of a marching band as a high school freshman), but I would think that it would be similar to football or other sports where if an official gets in the way, you just plow right thru them, because it's supposed to be their job to stay out of your way and not the other way around.
Courtney you're amazing *hahahaha* it's "BLOOO" not "BOOO". Please don't hate us, we are just a weird sect of society this is what we do. lol And the moment before the show starts is only nerve racking for the unprepared. One of the major points of this activity is learning to pursue something so doggedly, and so passionately, that you've practiced it into oblivion and you are INCAPABLE of getting it wrong. That's where the confidence comes from, going through hell to get to heaven.
she straight up bood them LMAOUHEIFUHDG protect her
Lol ha ha.. I was laughing so hard when she did it, in good spirit cheering for them.
Anyone else love how she says “Booo!” Versus “BLOOOOOO!”???? 😂😂😂 I love how cute it is
Anyone else think she looks like the bloo 2019 drum major in this video? Like the hair and outfit is spot on
I was thinking that too she looks just like Peyton grunzke.
She really does look like Peyton like the resemblance is uncanny.
Hahahahaha
Looks just like Peyton
Also her nail polish is neon green like some of the field props
One of my top Bluecoats shows and shows in general. Not sure why more people don't talk about it more, it's not underrated, but not brought up nearly enough!
Agreed. The ingenuity in this show is ridiculous.
Defo a championship show that year.
It's because it's wedged in between Tilt and Down Side Up. If it wasn't there it would definitely be an all timer
I feel like Kinetic Noise is one of the best examples of how electronics can be used in Drum Corps. Creating a massive soundscape like they did is just so unique.
hey uh, it isn't "BOOOOOO" lmao, that's not supporting the bluecoats, its "BLOOOOOOOO." basically just blue.
The thought is there at least haha 😄
Lmao!!!! Booooooo
She a little mixed up, but she got the spirit
@@prismatic3695 mhm, i thought it was booooooo at first too
History lesson. The Bluecoats first made finals in 1987. Throughout that season some started yelling Bloooo and it grew though out the season. By finals it had caught on. Bloooo has been the signature cheer every since.
i couldn't stop laughing at you "booing" lol, it's bloo with an L hahaha. That was still kinda cute though.
I love this show so much, one of my top 5, and I've been a fan since 1977... Thank you to whoever sent her this video, it is the best I've seen of this performance. AMAZING!!! Goosebumps and tears every single time!
Watch the Bluecoats 2016 soloist, Ben Gunnarson, headcam
This should've been Bloo's first win. Even with as good as Inferno was, this was the best show of 2015 and they honestly had the best run of the top 4 finals night! Crown had their best run on semis and no one came close to matching the energy this show had and still has through every viewing I've had of that years top 3. But alas the judges saw differently.

It kind of comes down to captions. Barring Crown’s percussion that year, they’re better at brass and guard.
I.......agree 🤧
@@jeffgray7922 both shows have aged so well
Never forget watching this show in theaters for the first time, it was by far my favorite show of 2015 🥺
"Bloooo" ;) as in Bloocoats!
@joejaxson got the joke, it is really funny.
The creativity of these bands never fails to amaze me. What a great performance. The amount of practice needed to achieve this level of precision of marching and music must be astounding. All I can say is bravo BLUE COATS.................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Carolina Crown 2015 got second place this year and it is hands down one of the most epic shows in DCI history. You have to watch it soon.
Kinetic Noise is such an incredible show! This show, along with Tilt, their 2014 production, are the 2 shows that really got me into DCI.
Still LOVING these! I think the fact that you're not talking as much through these shows how engaged you are while watching. I think. :)
Yuhhhh, one of the first headcams I watched. Ben the OG.
honestly!
React to 2015 cadets "The Power Of Ten" or 2015 Blue Knights "Because"
Seconded for 2015 Blue Knights "Because"

This is my favorite DCI show of all time, absolutely fantastic
also it's impossible to not cry listening to the ballad, i dont make the rules
Yay a while ago i sent a request for this and you’re actually doing it!!! Great video as always!!!
"They must have won"
In third place, with a score of 96.925....
Rip
It’s always a good day when Courtney puts out a DCI reaction video
When she uses the word “hype” gooood gooood!
The guy on the ball at the end goes hard
Edit: I love how hyped you get for these shows 😂
I remember seeing that show for the first time. It still gives me chills. I love the "Holey Moley" reaction!

Courtney normally the beginning section of the show is referred to as the opener and the end is the closer. Great as always 👍🏻
BLOOOOO Courtney! I told you! As in the color, which is my favorite.
I remember seeing this show live in San Antonio. It was my first time ever seeing drum corps live and this show just almost brought tears to my eyes. Bluecoats 2015 will forever have a place in my heart 😤💙

Ranks in my all time top 3. And I've been a member of and followed DCI since 1977. You had to have seen this show live to get the full effect. Amazing
Please react to the Boston Crusaders 2019, 2018, and 2017! You haven’t seen a Boston show yet!
So as always love the dci reactions they make my day and also the saying BLOOOOO not BOO lol but you were close. And again it's always a pleasure to watch these videos.
Stunning performance. Once again THANK YOU for introducing New Zealand and the whole world to the wonderful, amazing world of DCI. Illinois, USA here.
I am fairly tight with a few older Bluecoats alumni, and the rumor is that they nearly went bankrupt this year. I really hope you are able to see this live in person, but to be honest there are no guarantees. And the Bluecoats are probably one of the most financially stable organizations in DCI. Beyond worried am I.
Covid might make drum Corp as a whole go down the drain sadly 🥺
INFERNO HAS TO HAPPEN!!!! Let me go request that again. I believe I have a zip file I can include.
Yes, inferno is special.
Boston Crusaders 2017, 2018, and/or 2019. All really good. Bluecoats 2018 is a lot of fun. Also you would really enjoy WGI as well. Look at Pride of Cincinnati " Summer of Love". I think you'll be hooked.
You have your wish.
Anyone want her to react to It Is?
Personal fav, Blue Stars 2014 "Where the heart is"
YES YES YES YES YES IM SO GLAD YOU REACTED TO THIS
I like how she's wearing something similar to the 2019 bluecoats DM's
They got first place that year. Blue Devils won that year. With their show called “Ink”!
Unfortunately they got 3rd place that year but it is still my favorite show if you want to see the winning show that year watch blue devils 2015 INK
Literally my favorite show
This to me this is Bloo’s best show. It typifies their sound. That ballad is so lush and quite simply beautiful.
Your reaction to this one gives me life! You are almost speechless! Love it!
That's BLOOO, my love, not Booo!!!!! Nice to see you back again with DCI, Courtney!!!!! 🎶🎵🎼🎺
Loved your reaction. Proud parent as my son was in that horn line.
Great video Courtney, I love watching you react to videos.
She should definitely watch bluecoats 2017! Even though they got 5th that year, it was still a super fun show
I love it when the crowd yells BLOOO!
I got goosebumps listening to the opener.
Those massive, explosive, powerful blasts made me cry
contra/quad feature really hits...
I love this show. I remember seeing them when they came to drums along the rockies in denver. One of my favorites in 2015. Love your reaction hope to see more. I did send you some general recommendations I hope you get around to those.
Top 5 favorite DCI shows:

4. "Ink" Blue Devils 2015
3. "Kinetic Noise" Bluecoats 2015
2. "Babylon" SCV 2018

I started marching band in 2014 and Tilt was the first DCI show I absolutely fell in love with and after that, I was obsessed. The amount of work these people put into these shows is insane
Courtney: "They must have won!"
GIRL BELIEVE IT THEY GOT THIRD PLACE THIS YEAR.
(love from Australia)
The trumpet soloist is my band director at Belton High School in Texas, Kevin Kwaku

I think you would like santa clara Vanguard's "new era metropolis" show from 2001, but I can't find a link :(
You need to react to Santa Clara Vanguard 1999. They are 1st in that year. The music is crazy
You should react to a high school like Vandergrift Band 2019. They're so good it's crazy.
