In any great work of art there is always a sense of depth. A monument waiting to be explored. The Cut-Outs, the BD 2023 production, is shaping up to be that kind of art for me. Can’t wait to see it this Summer!
This is why I LOVE the Blue Devils I’d say for the past 8 years or so. They let great emotional music drive the effect (as Scott says they can’t replicate 1940s war torn France). But this is the way to tell a story in 10 minutes… you have to use captivating music to fulfill the emotional, intellectual, and aesthetic parts of what we want in a drum corps show.
I like how they also take a rather simple concept easy for ANYONE to understand, and then explore the HECK out it! I’m looking at you bluecoats 2022…
The Blue Devils using their art to expose their audience to other art forms. Before their corresponding productions, I never really knew much about Edward Hopper, Dadaism, Henri Matisse, Federico Fellini, etc. BD’s productions always invites me to do my own research on these amazing people/concepts/movements and gives me the power to see BD’s interpretation of them through my eyes. It’s always fun to do this every season. ❤
LETS GOO BLUE DEVILS!
Scott chandler is the man. His ideas are so creative. Truly a legend in the drum corps community
I feel like the blue devils are an art major's dream drum corps
The best 💙
Beautiful discussion of Matisse and the show this year, thanks Scott!!
BD is quite literally every theatre kid condensed into a DCI corps (and that’s a huge compliment)
Please do a pollack show
Color, as a show element, has no action attached to it, and requires no skill. There's no payoff in a performing arts production when mise en scene or costumes reveal or change color. Color is a motionless, undramatic element that has the lowest audience impact, and requires no skill. Color is the hardest element to bring attention to, because drum corps is a continual explosion of color and color changes in every single show, exhausting the audience's palate and deadening color's effect. Talking about color in a drum corps show is like bringing coals to Newcastle. When a designer talks about "color' as a show catalyst, it's an immediate red flag indicating a weakness in the concept. You don't hear a music video director talk about color as the main focus, even if the primary subject is a painter or a graphic artist or filmmaker. Occasionally a director of photography will bring up color as a frame composition element, but the effect is ancillary and supports a larger theme, and isn't the primary focus or catalyst in the show's action.
