I think a lyrical dancer may have had a little too much say. May have some juice on the conductor.
Reminds me of 2014. The bluecoats had an absolutely breathtaking, extremely entertaining show but were once again overshadowed by the sheer perfection of the blue devils
Ghostlight was not better than The Bluecoats, Filiniesque was better than TILT
Mikethedude22 well said good sir. Although I still think tilt was more entertaining than Felliniesque. It was a good show (definitely better than the shit show of ghost light) but it’s just a different type of show. I prefer tilt imo just because it was intense musically. Felliniesque was def a better show however
Mikethedude22 in all honestly tilt is prolly my favorite dci show of all time. Entertaining from start to finish. And by god the pitch bend still puts chills up my spine... but felliniesque was so perfect from a technical standpoint. nobody was beating it
If Blue Devils didn’t happen to win percussion on finals night then I think there would have been a different outcome. I don’t wanna say “ the blue devils show sucks cause blah blah blah” but I personally didn’t enjoy ghostlight too much. Take it with a grain of salt cause I’m a diehard Bloo fan but I’ve tried to love it and I just can’t.
@@calvinswaney3452 I feel kind of the same here. Ghostlight is hard to like but what I can appreciate about it is how tight they can play everything. I tried to learn the trumpet part and had to lookup scores online because it was to complicated for me to understand by ear.
It's complicated and they play it well!
5:27 Just casually teleporting.
:P some hickups happen on the camera... It's rare but it happens :/
Dont worry its part of the show
This show has improved leaps and bounds all season and the polished (too perfection!!) final result couldn't be denied. Personally, I was pulling for Bluecoats, and that show was beautifully designed (hence GE win), but just came up a little short. Two great shows! But BD just had this one.
Not a single ad, thank you very much.
7:03 the sousaphone player is just straight vibing
This is the first show in YEARS where I felt that 12 minutes felt like 2! This show is like a feast for all the senses. I also loved the Bluecoats show but definitely could do without some parts here and there. I definitely think the right corps won on finals night.
EXACTLY RIGHT ON!!!!!!!!
I hate how much Ghostlight gets laid on by everyone. I think it was a unique and different style of music, bringing in the dramatic feel, especially with the violin. I think the props and backtrack was used incredibly well. The Colorguard, Dance, and Choreography was much different than the past BD shows I’ve seen, and really brought the theatre feeling to life. The Pit and Violin were incredible and I think were the most overshadowed of all the groups. The High Brass definitely overshadowed The Pit and Low Brass. The Low Brass was cleverly used, especially with the throwback to 2017 with the Trombones, and in the first part after the Violin and Before High Brass, and the Euphonium solo and Sousaphone solo were very good, but I think the Sousaphone should’ve had more time. My only problem were the Battery Percussion. I think the Battery were under used, but when used, the parts they played in, they were completely unnecessary, like the Snares in the Trombone part. I really liked the idea of using tap shoes on the props, so kudos to them for that.
What's up with winning shows from 2019 and 2016 both starting with airplane rushing the field of the corps?
If you havn't noticed, the Blue Devils are about 10% innovation and 90% reusing the past 10 years material.
Mikethedude22 VERY true. They’ve been doing it for so long and yet only NOW people are figuring it out
True but consider that this show is about Ghosts and elements of the past.
@@dompling yeah but like every year they recycle a million things from past shows
This thread is so full of armchair judges and salty salty people. LOL! The best show won and that's all there is to it. Now, one could make an argument on entertainment value since it's subjective. BUT a lot of people liked Ghostlight (even usual haters of BD - just go to the forums) and if you guys put your biases aside, I think it would be in your guys' best interest as a DCI fan to see why.
Bluecoats were great but the blue devils were just that much more crisp and its really hard to match that level of excellence. Congrats to both corps. Blue Devils were just that bit better when they had to have it
5:26
They even teleported in time! Such coordination!
Hahaha. The camera couldn't handle such good content. I think that's what happened. :P
It is part of the show
underrated comment
Typically when I watch dci shows, I always watch the opening hit and a little bit after, then it gets boring so I skip to the ballad hit which is always good then skip to the ending. I know it's a damn good show when I can't skip ahead because it's so good. This is one of those shows. The bluecoats have the best hits but there are parts that aren't that interesting. Whenever I revisit these videos I skip to the awesome hits because that's the part of the show that's cool.
2:37 why do i get lego ninjago vibes 🤭😔
9:40 Everybody misses the absolute power play that Everett makes by stopping and turn around to the crowd at that chord
Yes... I missed it! :O
Nothing can ever beat metamorph for me sorry guysssss
I prefered metamorph as well ;)
Me too but I think this closer was better
Awesome recording! I was sitting right next to you!
Thanks for the comment man! :)
You saw me record from my phone?
@@dompling yeah, you got a really good recording!
Are you the guy "screaming" on the left? ;P
@@dompling oh yeah! I love this stuff!
@@karloswald1943 I loved you screaming!
Thanks for pumping us up! ;)
I'm a sucker for that violin man
I have to say the guard was soooooooooooooooooooooooo great in this show! Hats off to you guys and gals I LOVED it every minute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
What a good show! I personally like it. 🤷♀️💙😈
I like it as well. It is super clean musically and the drill/dance is on point!
D. Paré yup!!
download it before flow takes it down
That is the *_Encore_* and I was told it is OK to upload it here. It is considered an exhibition or something.
Anyways I have the original files and the exported video. ;)
@@dompling Yeah, Encores don't usually get taken down by DCI or the corps. If anything, Britney Spears' people might have it taken down. LOL!
Man... 7:02 gives me the chills and goosebumps every time. I love it.
We watched this on the night of our final day of band camp and it was amazing! So proud of them! Especially those from our visuals team who performed! Can’t wait to see next year’s show and I hope it’s as phenomenal as this one! 😊
I remember how the show first began when they performed in Clovis at MidCal DCI. Thank you for posting this. My, how they improved to very end and up to the finals. GO BLUE DEVILS!!!
As much as I love the Bluecoats, I really want Blue Devils to win their 20th champion in 2020.
DCI 2020? I've never heard of such a thing...
ps: Sarcasm
Yeah I heard the new Corp.. corona from California won this year... score of 100
F
This aged well.
8:10 to 9:45 I could fall asleep to. It sounds sooooo beautiful.
that “19” still gets to me
Congrats to both Blues and all the corps for all the Hard work to get to this level. You will remember this night for the rest of your life the work, the long practices, but most of all friendship you have make. The love of Music brings us all together. I was in a corp in the 1960's and it still brings the greatest joy to my heart. Hold on to the dreams. 😎🥁🇺🇸🇨🇦
What an amazing show. Hat's off to Blue Devils 2019. They provided goosebumps, chills and tears. Never stop funding the arts!
saw this live in mesquite (drumline camp field trip), and it was INSANE. bluecoats were great too but the blue devils win was well deserved.
Thank you for uploading this :)
*It's my pleasure!* I have the gear, I must put it to good use. *_;)_*
9:03 “19!” Thanks for keeping this up and allowing me to relive some memories!
It's a pleasure. I am glad you could enjoy so much!
now i have to learn a brass instrument
Well done BD!
I enjoyed the heck out of this show.
I will say, however, that they are not as loud as Madison.
That is true.
I believe it goes something like "BYBO"
Sherlock Holmes theme at the beginning who’s with me 👏🏼
The beginning is right out of the woodlands 2013
Thank-You Concord Blue Devils! Now do #20 in 2020!!!!!!
Not in my lifetime
DrumsGTH stay salty😂
@@Ebidle Nineteen championships I would say the odds are high that they could repeat lol!!!! But I want too see the show that beats them because it would have to be special!!!!!
Janea Bray Bluecoats was special but see what happened. Plus this show was so bad. I can’t believe it won
Anybody know the cord at 3:34
It's a Bb Major with a 9th added. Notes are Bb-D-F-C
"Bb9" ua-cam.com/video/Qz57mDzsCmM/v-deo.html
I play the trumpet and it goes C-E-G-D ;)
D. Paré Ayyy trumpet gang! 🎺
Congratulations to the Blue Devils! In memory of Ch. F.
My colorguard coach was in this 😭😭 love him he’s amazing! ♥️
Basically my early birthday gift, thank you
Happy birthday early!
Glad I could gift you with that. :)
this show definitely deserved a win
no matter who would've won this year, the blue really showed this year
When I was in high school marching band 1974-1977, I couldn't imagine a marching band execute such complicated maneuvers while playing some of the most difficult music. I am in awe of the most amazing talent from around the country. Others who are not familiar with this high powered performance, should see it just once. They would be hooked forever. It dazzles the mind!!
5:17
How is this video still up?
Encores dont usually get taken down.
9:02 NINETEEN!
Oh that's what they say!!!
I’m proud of the blue coats and they were absolutely stunning, but the Blue Devils deserves this one ❤️
It was an amazing show I was there
I love your energy so much! It makes me feel so personally excited to reach my goal of joining a corp and becomkng part of a family that loves and pours their heart out into what they do, and this is why I feel really bad about what Im about to say. I watched a lot of cams and sadly, it felt really boring, especially the mellophone part. It would be really cool while they played and then it stopped...for a really long time. I understand choreography is a vital part to any marching arts show, but the music just felt so lacking, and for a 13 minute show? I don't know, but it just really disheartened me. I'm not going to be the kind of person to say that 'dRuM cOrP iSnT wHat iT uSeD tO bE' but for a champion corp, the show was really musically bleak. It probably is just me plus I got a lot of this feeling after watching the mello cam so maybe thats why.
I watched the trumpet cam and I found it exciting! The trumpet features seem challenging.
I did not see CCrown's cams but those must be really cool as well.
BTW I am not the one who screams. I am more the type of guy that lets a little tear out ;)
The guys besides me where really pumping us up and I looved it. He commented on the video.
I Can’t Believe This Show Was 5 Years Ago already
That ballad tho.....
bru i thought the bluecoats would win
6:28
Oh. Look at the blue devils 2004. They got 2nd place and their show was the best. I was upset just like y'all are about the bluecoats. So the same thing has happened to the blue devils
The trumpet soloist hang over at the end was perfect. They should have allowed that in the finals performance and the judges should have lauded it instead of denigrating the hang over as an asynchronous release. It just sounds better this way, when done right, and this was done right, synced with the final drum hit on one.
There's something so mystifying about how loud and silent the recording makes the hit at 13:04 It's the final phrase of the encore, a culmination of two and a half months of brothers in arms perfecting their craft. and we watch from a distance as they celebrate all that they have achieved. its beautiful.
One issue that I have with the Blue Devils is that most of their shows, whilst EXTREMELY well executed, don't really have a show "arc" to follow. I just don't "get" their show concepts compared to other corps. If someone can explain what certain things in this mean, I'd appreciate it.
i wanna be on the blue devils
Can somebody PLEASE tell me what they say in the opening, I can't find a script anywhere
Announcer:
-They made it 19 [wins] in [20]'19. Ladies and gentlemens please welcome to the field from Canton California the Blue Devils.
For the rest I am not sure. Audio is clearer here : ua-cam.com/video/nZFfXIxF4mw/v-deo.html
I think it says something like "Zeus! Welcome the voice our Zeus. What do you bring? My heart terror. Terror shakes my heart. Hollow healer of demons [...] what now. What is your price [sopium] sacrifice? Some ancient rite from the past? [...] to die. To see or must we pretend [...]"
Here is the Blue Devils website about their show bluedevils.org/programs/a-corps/seasons/?programID=1&season=2019&module=info
@@dompling thanks for the info, that’s really helpful. I loved the poetic opening and really wanted to know the lines. This definitely helps
I'm a sucker for ballads and this one did not disappoint.
The only time i can do the trumpet part is when i have a kazoo.
I feel like 7:46 was originally a closer or something
bruh is no one gonna talk about how is said blue coats
That Everett Kim dude taught at my marching band/indoor percussion for about a year and took us to Open Class and both Division and State Champions. Thank you Everett!
I hope they release a go-pro video for this 😭😭
Frank Veliz here yah go lmao ua-cam.com/video/oU18MVdYv_U/v-deo.html
There are a bunch already.
The official one from Bluedevils' channel is really good too.
TrumpetGoat 2.0 just saw this,but thank you I appreciate it!!!!!🖤
Hey, Nineteen, what can I say about the best drum corps in history?? Hey, Nineteen!!! I am absolutely drenched with cascades of my own sweaty joy and gonadinal drippings after three different Blue Devils expulsions of generosity and of adulation throughout the mind-blowing climaxes in both power and utterly tye sweetest of all
WOW. Amazing comment! Haha :P
2:12 its the YESSIRs that got me
13:01 after 3 years, i just found out that it said "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players"
7:20 is favvvv arggghhhhh 🥵
11:14
Indeed ;)
AYO 4K
Oh WOWWWWWW
What is the title of the ballad? Anyone?
the pabebebeks channel A True Passion Genius: Picasso
I wish this could have been recorded more centered. I could not appreciate the performance like the rest here could.
I wish I had enough money to have more centered seats ;)
People were leaving at the awards ceremony (right before that encore performance) and I was even more on the side during the show. I was able to pick empty seats more towards the center to film that wonderfull show.
@@dompling I'm sorry to be a winer. I just like the bd and I haven't seen them play in person in 20 years
@@bonespiel don't be sorry! This is not an official video by any means. I did what I could with what I had and I know you know it ;)
7:30
I was there!!!
Me too! ;)
It was awesome!!!

(I'm talking about the part with the tap shoes)
4:25
This just seems so disjointed to me and a bit boring
This is like the single blue devils show I like
honestly don’t like this show. bluecoats deserved it. and i think carolina crown should’ve been ranked higher
Bluecoats might have deserved it, but BD EARNED IT. And the least you could do is capitalize Bluecoats.........SMH.
Thank you for this video now i'm very proud to be part of Drum & Lyre
Just the game of thrones in the beginning

Ballad title anyone?
Might just be the acoustics.... Or the angle and distance this video was filmed from, but lacks in comparison to other winning performances I've seen.
It was filmed on my Sony XZ2 Compact. It does not have the best microphones (it is a phone afterall) but at least they are stereo.
Look at my other videos for amazing sound and video quality. They are mostly filmed with my Canon SL2 and a Zoom H1 audio-recorder.
The phone audio is not great but not bad imo ;) .
Is that Brandon more kid still In this band?
This was his last year I think
Brandon Olander. Yes. He aged out this year though. He will be missed.
@@quintenmoshy7798 oh damg
Brandon aged out....will probably be a snare tech next summer for BD
it's not a band it's A DRUM and BUGLE CORPS got it now
I wish they would stop cheering, I want to hear the music 😍😍😍😍
Headcams are starting to be uploaded on UA-cam. You should be able to hear the music really well on those!
Go see *_6am Films_* and *_ThatWasLoud_* channels. They make good ones.
@@dompling I already know that, but thanks for being kind! 😊
This show was perfection. There was truly a breathtaking magical experience atmosphere at every aspect that was possible to feel again through this 2019 Ghostlight show. Way to go Blue Devils Victorious run!
8:00
Okay I don’t mean to sound like a hater but what is this show supposed to be, like a circus? Or a ghost town? Or something I don’t know please tell me
Edit: Thanks for telling me what it is, it now gives me more of an understanding of this show and makes it better now I know what it’s about
It's basically about what happens when the Ghostlight turns on (a Ghostlight is a light that is turned on after a theatre closes so the staff can clean, but there are myths about ghosts appearing during that time) and it goes through the different forms of theatrics- I hope this helps!! If I'm wrong or missing something, someone, please add :)
Kyla Stivers it’s also the “ghosts” of past BD shows and other stolen elements from other corps show. Hence the airplane rushing in the beginning like BC Downside Up
DrumsGTH What’s up with you hating on BD, I’m guessing you’re another salty bloo fan but that’s ok
okay this show is instantly 100x cooler now that I know what it’s about lmao
@@xXEpicMehXx I mean. If you listen to the narration, it quotes theatrical productions and shakespearean quotes. So, if people didn't get it... they really had to try to not to. Also you should watch BD360, it goes in depth about the production and clears up a lot of confusion :)
Dude you know what would be cool?? If the Blue Devils added a marching woodwind section!!!! Dude that would be so innovative and cool!!! I’ve NEVER seen a marching woodwind line!! That would be so cool!!!!
Wait really I didnt think they are rare my school matches every instrument literally except like soprano sax cause it doesn't have parts we got piccolos flutes bari sax tenor sax alto sax clarinet bass clarinet all you want anything
Marches*
Go see some japanese marching band! I don't recal the name but there is one that is really popular and they are really impressive.
They jump while playing!
Dude I’ve seen you comment like 6 times on this video. Even if you didn’t like their show, you can’t deny the level of excellence they preformed it at. Sure the bluecoats also had a fantastic show that also could have won, but you can’t say the devils didn’t put the work in to win the title.
Would be cool if they added woodwind elements to the shows in the coming years, but adding a full woodwind section breaks the tradition of these groups being “drum and bugle corps”
I must be old fashioned, but if half your drum line is playing stationary instruments...how does that make this a marching competition?
The stationary instruments in front are not judged as part of the drumline.
From the standpoint of overall visual effect, these prop-laden shows are designed from a bird's eye view that treats the people and the props as potentially equal contributors. So the people are essentially a movable, shape-changing prop, and of course they're tasked with moving the actual props. And the designer considers not only how the props will enhance the contribution of the people, but vice versa: how can the people make the props look and work better? Lots and lots of people playing off props. I don't like it. Another word for prop is crutch.
Clarinet should be in blues show next year 😎
No.
No.
Let's face it, Bluecoats lost because of 2 judges that were not consistent with the others, just look at the score sheet and you will see who it is. However Blue Devils are a good drum corps.
Interesting!
I don't really pay attention to these things.
@@dompling I was in a drum corps for 8 yrs, that's why I might pay a little attention to it.
@@gilleslabelle7409 That's why there are 4 GE judges because GE is somewhat subjective. The GE judges were equally split the night before on prelims so it's not out of the question for them to not all agree on finals. Also, Jeff Prosperie for percussion is one of the most upstanding and credible judges in the circuit. If he saw that BD was better on finals night, then they were better....simple as that. If you were in drum corps for 8 years, then you'd know it'd be better to be rational in these situation than to start conspiracy theories. It doesn't help the activity.
@@rygregory Why get so defensive, I only said that it is possible that some judges prefer some corps more than others. Besides I am not talking about the judge you are mentioning. Just like you said, if they saw BD being better that night there is not much we can do but take it. It's like the Olympics. Thanks for your comment. I still like DB, it's a very strong and deep organization.
The same openers as 2014 and 2016, same odd audio clips that lead into a drum break, literally the SAME Trombone feature. It seems the only reason they win is because half their Corps has marched this show in years past.
I mean they did say that some of things in this show are "ghosts" of past shows, so you are gonna hear some of that
You're right, half the corps is definitely left over from five seasons ago. That's the only reason they won, not because this show is a literal masterclass in visual design and execution.
@@RedSoxSousa if I paid for that masterclass, I'd want my money back.
@@brianjungen4059 Alright tot, keep being salty I guess. Fundamentals win championships, you cant throw your entire budget into GE and expect to win.
Ooh this is way past salt. This is bitter now. lol
