Blue Springs is my favorite Midwestern program! Visually they are basically an open class DCI program. Vento is amazing! Not trying to be critical but they (maybe it’s a midwestern thing) lack brass, demand prowess and power that I’ve been accustomed too in the South (BA, Tarpon and All Texas Elites). Similar arguments with Avon and Carmel for as much as I love them too.
I personally love the brass feature at around 2:47. Keep in mind this was their first time playing the entire piece together in front of an audience :)
@@stephaniemccullough1407 nice I absolutely get it. Trust me I’m not trying to be critical. I’ve just noticed that the Midwest as a whole in terms of musical risk and demands and execution is a few steps behind the South. Carmel probably has the smartest marchers in the country yet they play music that most junior high feeder schools in suburban DFW can master within a few days. Wonderful design, stellar visuals is the BOA recipe it seems. Blue Springs will do amazingly at St Louis!!
