This is one of the most brilliantly conceived and designed shows the drum corps activity has ever seen. In Bluecoats' To Look for America, we see a traditional drum corps in parade formation playing to the stands in the 1950's, and then there's a coming of age. People in the stands switch places with the corps-- they become the performers-- the music becomes about them. Instead of the military industrial complex dominating the play space and mandating its content, the people in the stands take over. A little girl gets her balloon popped as she learns lessons of war and loss. A mix of couples redefine the family picnic. By the end, America is reinvented and free from the shackles of a corrupt, dominating culture of militarism.

[alreadytakentherd]

11:47 - Star Spangled Banner in the bass is 100% genius.

[Come.HolySpirit]

Easily the turning point of BC. Great show.

[DrBicsta]

7:30 is the coolest lick in the last decade. Fight me!

[NickOnFire]

People sleep on this show. It's really cool to listen and watch. Also I always forget, this show BOOKS. I swear they're playing while sprinting so much. Like at 2:39, opening impact of the show. You can see some of the euphs sprinting in the back of the horn block, and everyone's marching at 180 BPM!

[FTTPRO]

they should've started the show with the corps chants and all the hype up on the field. It made this video! I was close to tears, Coats thank you for your existence.

[Matthew_Troll]

Am i the only one who felt queasy with the digital image stabalization going on?

[DKTaoNeo]

I'm responsible for at least 1, 000 of these views, keep coming back to this, excellent rehearsal performance to show anyone interested in marching band or corps.

[TheChach]

Watching this drumline makes me miss performing. Well done Bloo

[aidanbrooky]
