When you think of the Bluecoats, one word comes to mind.

Different.

In the last 5 years, the Bluecoats have certainly won the fans over again and again.

Why is this? How have the Bluecoats manage to become a corps so different from the others? Mic’s, Props, and plenty synth, all for the sake of pleasing the crowd. Where did this all come from, and when did it all begin?

Right here. This simple, pre recorded, perfectly timed and perfectly effective pitch bend.

Whether you love the Bluecoats OR hate them, there aren’t many moments more widely known and beloved like this moment.

This show, “Tilt” is what started it all for the Bluecoats. Shows of theirs in the past were definitely great and special in their own way. However, this show, this moment, is where the Bluecoats found their niche.

No other corps has been able to capture the attention of young audiences quite like the Bluecoats in the past few years. The Bluecoats know what they do best, and they’ve only become better at it as the years go on.

Sometimes in DCI, you don’t need the cleanest drill, the perfect Hornline, the hardest battery book. Sometimes all you need is for people to enjoy the show.
