Performing their 2024 program, GLITCH.

My dearest Glitch! This show was the first BAC show that I remember clear as day. I don't remember much about White Whale (other than it's existance, and the fact that I saw it) as of this writing. This was a really good introduction to the corps, though, as they're now my dream corps.

Shaker Loops	Jon Anderson / John Adams
G-Spot Tornado	Frank Zappa
Orchestral Suite No. 2	JS Bach
Take Five	Dave Brubeck
True Colors	Tom Kelly, Billy Steinberg & Sander Choi
Worm Hole	Ryan George, Colin McNutt, Gaian Moyer & Mike Zellers

I don't have all too much to say about this repertoire, honestly! I think the pieces really fit the show. I do have my opinions on the vocal splices / sound effects! I know that sound effects are somewhat looked down upon by many DCI fans, but I absolutely adore Glitch's use of them! The glitch sound effects & the announcer's voice in specific are really powerful when used right. In a way it reminds me of how Blue Stars used their announcer, but way more creative!

Music

Easily the best brass of 2024, in my opinion. Especially about 4-5 minutes into the performance, whenever they switch their pieces so quickly. To be able to switch your style completely in a moment like that is such a goddamn feat! However they're running BAC, I need to be trained like that on my mello. Not to mention that screamer- they had me and my friend's jaw DROPPED when we first heard it. No lie, at finals we just started texting our high brass group chat "THE TRUMPEEETTTT.... THE TRUMPPEETTTTT...". It was fantastic.

Visuals

The best use of uniforms I've ever seen. Not only are the uniforms themselves pretty, but the color sorting ? I started tearing up just for my love of this art form. The hoops used by brass/color guard were sick, though I do wish they had some sort of larger props. I think if tasteful it could've added so much to the show! I did lose my mind whenever their shakos lit up, I just love use of light in shows. It should be so much more commonplace!! audio aquired from ... youtube (unofficial upload)! please support the original corps
