I believe its around 2:30-ish, as far as I know to my knowledge, I mainly know the Team's practice routine schedule.

The Blue Angels released some video from their photo chase mission back in December. This is all filmed from the back seat of #7 (still a Legacy Hornet at that point) while one of the team photographers shoots photos during maneuvers. Talk about a wild perspective!

Just like to point out that after watching some videos of the Blue Angels' practices on MKBLUES1's Youtube page, the demo routine will be the same as it was since 2017 with one exception. It appears that the left echelon roll will be replaced with the left echelon to diamond roll.

I believe they call that the changeover roll? It's a maneuver they did a long time ago. Also, the opposing split-S's have been a lot more square in some videos.

Another noticeable change is that should the team fly with one solo pilot due to the other having health or mechanical issues, the double tuckover roll is replaced by a banana pass.

Here's a playlist of the team's 2021 show music as played during the radio broadcast of the El Centro performance today. Apparently the maneuvers are the same as last year, which is surprising to me.
The Blue Angels will be visiting over NAS Jacksonville Wedensday through Friday of this week (April 7-9) to perform private practices (not open to the public) as they prepare to start the season.
After seeing the latest live videos, I'm starting to wonder what's going on since just 5 planes are flying

Rumor says that #6 had to step down due to medical issues and they brought in a former 3/4 pilot who was on the transition team to fill the slot. I believe they just flew the Delta for the first time yesterday so it will be interesting to see if it is a 5 or 6 ship flight at Sun n Fun.
