Electrical static opened "Kinetic Noise," leading into an acoustic-electronic world of wonder that pulsated across one’s brainpan. The profound emotional and physical effect akin to riding a pogo stick to work. The last minute of this production—with its stunning color guard tosses, blazing final drill moves, and landmark advances in sound engineering—left many wondering in awe what they had just heard, seen, and experienced.

when the trumpets come in right after the contra feature, it feels so badass like you know shit's about to go down
-
Underrated BC show. Everyone's all about T/LT but I goddamn love Kinetic Noise.

-
I've learned throughout listening to Bluecoats shows that when the trumpets or Mellos have a little run, that something badass is about to go down.
-
Best summer I ever had.

Here's something amazing... Bluecoats have never been closer to the gold last year. They were only .725 from winning. The year before that, they were 2.475 from the gold. Who knows what they will do to close the gap in 2016...

Favorite 2 minutes of drum corps ever. Just phenomenal in every way. The overall mood and vibe they create with the minimalist music is incredible, it should be boring but it is not in ANY way, it's almost ethereal. What they're doing with electronics and types of music they're using will be game changing, and this clip showcases that perfectly. When they turn around at 1:00 gives me the biggest goosebumps every time. Brass and drums are phenomenal as always, but I don't think the guard from 2015 got enough credit, they really stepped up their game from being a scoring weakness as recently as 2013 to being top 3 this year where they contributed HUGELY to the visual package through their psychedelic color scheme, shimmering metals and motion, and incredible clarity in their work. They deserve some love too. Absolutely cannot wait to see what they do in 2016.

Most underrated show ever

Probably my favorite show of all time. This clip really shows off just how cool and creative this show was. I love all of the music and visuals and every transition gives me goosebumps because it's so well orchestrated, and so cool.

The ballad was so good, you should have had that in the video
-
Favorite show of all time
-
I absolutely love the percussion and drum parts to this!! And the toss at 1:08 is incredibly satisfying, with how it's all together and in sync.
-
Am I the only one mad that they focused on the trumpets marching and doing nothing when there is this really sick snare feature going on?
-
By far my favorite trumpet feature in ALL of DCI, such an innovative show. They really nailed electronics in this show.
-
This and bd 2014 are probably my all time favorite shows
-
Arguably the best Bluecoats show in my opinion
-
From around :23 to the end of the video is probably my favorite minute and a half of drum corps ever. LOVE it.
