Blast!

Summary: Music in Motion
Review: Blast proviedes a new medium for drum and bugle corps to utilize. This amazing marching band spectacle now comes to the concert hall. The performers bring a school-time tradition to adult culture. If you are a fan of the Star of Indiana you will want this. A rainbow of colors and emotions are covered. A wonderful example of quality performance.

Summary: ... dancing, trumpeting pageantry of youthful America
Review: "... a standing ovation every night!" in London and New York for this dancing, trumpeting pageantry of youthful America. It would be destined to be its own The Music Man someday if it had even a thin, yet adaptive, storyline of boy-meets-girl, perhaps starring Kevin Bacon's third nephew and with a newly discovered ingenue a la West Side Story. If filmed in DV QuickTime on location in West Baden (Baden-Baden) it would be an ideal premiere at the Heartland Film Festival...(as a putative Cook/Disney production) celebrating a medley of mostly American music in the classical spirit of Fantasia and Allegro Non Troppo.

Summary: This is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen!
Review: I am a high school student who is very involved in the band and choir. I know what it takes me be a good musician and the amount of work required for putting on a good show (I'm involved in the marching band). The musicians in Blast are some of the most talented people that I have ever seen perform. Their show is perfect in almost every way! Their movements are perfectly together, their musicianship is wonderful and the flag line is spectacular. This cast performs beautifully and the show is amazing. I've seen the movie countless times, and just last night I saw the show in person. I went expecting this to be one of the most wonderful things I had ever seen, and it was everything I expected and more! It absolutely took my breath away! These people are very talented and it is worth every cent you pay. I almost paid [a lot] for the DVD at the show last night, but I knew one of my friends had purchased it through Amazon for less ... This is a magnificent display of their talent and very awe-inspiring. I recommend it 100%.

Summary: Blows you away
Review: I didn't think the DVD could capture the live show as well as it does. A must for any drum corps fan. The performers just look like they are having so much fun you can't help but get pulled into the show. The use of tried and true DCI material (Malaguena, Bolero, Appalachian Spring) blends well with the eccentric material that Star of Indiana relied upon (Medea, Pines of Rome) and with the more original material such as Lemon Techo.

Review: WOW!!!!!!! If you love drum and bugle corp type music this is great! The talent is incredible. The manuevers along with the musicians ablilities will bowl you over. The sheer power of the brass will give you goosebumps. Play it loud on your home stereo with surround sound and you'll swear these people are in your living room. Great work.

Summary: Well worth the price!
Review: I've seen the "teaser" version of BLAST at Disney's CA Adventure in Anahiem, CA. And purchased the DVD at Disney (for quite a bit more, OPPS!) and have enjoyed watching it over and over! What I really wanted to write is that for those of you who can make it to either see the touring version or the Disney CA Adventure version will most certainly be blown away, mainly because there is a lot more going on onstage than the cameras can capture. This DVD is well worth it... particularly if you play a brass instrument!

Summary: WOW!!!!
Review: WOW!!!! I recently went and saw blast live.....It was Amazing!! And now that i have the dvd i can relive hte experiance every day. Although, it is much better to see it live. The show is packed with amazing music, depicted from the old DCI group Star of Indiana. This DVD is fun to watch for everyone, even people who have never been involved in music. Every type of person can be amazed with the color guard, impressive horns, and(my favorite)the drums. Not only do they play good music, the visuals are also fantastic. So, i suggest you give some serious thouhgt to buying this dvd.
