Listening to Crown ... audio has no cuts, as far as I can tell. I’ve also listened to Cavies ... 11:04 seemed a bit short for them, but I could not identify any cuts.

Yup. I see that now. I bought volume 1. I prefer to have the physical product, so I’ll wait for the CDs to get them all.

Looks like just Top 6 and you have to buy all the shows to get even just one.

Seconded. We’re almost at one year since they released the audio downloads from 2018. And we haven’t heard anything about cuts to the audio or video. Seems a bit weird.

[Walks in, notices thread completely quiet, decides to wake everyone up.] DING DING DING!!!! TOP OF MORNING!!!! 😛 This thread has been way too quiet. There's something I've been waiting to see someone bring up in here, but no one has ... so I will. With the announcement that Jeff Sacktig is going to be Visual Consultant for the Cadets in 2020, what does that mean for his involvement with Crown? Obviously, Crown hasn't posted any staff announcements yet. But, he's not the visual Caption Manager or Designer ... so, I assume he could still be working with Crown? Especially since The Cadets are in a different competitive bracket from Crown currently? I'm honestly not sure how that kind of stuff works. Just curious.

Plagal Cadence. Or, perhaps, Plagal Cadet-nce. 😛 Only saying that because it's also called the Amen Cadence ... which is in The Doxology. 😛 (among other things)

Or one bia--Nope. Not going to say it.

I just want Crown to keep going with whatever they did this year. Crown is always my favorite show every year with the exception of last year because Santa Clara was just a once in a lifetime kind of show. But, this is the first time Crown has felt like they are back to what they were before the Great Staff Exodus of 2016. And, everyone noticed. So many people compared this show to 2013 or 2015 ... arguably two of the best shows Crown has ever made. Whatever direction they decided to go with this show ... keep it up, Crown! This show was so special, regardless of the placement!

And only did so because of some questionable numbers from two specific judges. And it's taking everything I have to NOT lash out at one in particular. But, I must remain professional. Plus, then I'd also have to go to Confession for that. I'd rather just control myself. lol

This was Erin's first year, and the guard was on the younger side. I know her, and know her work Ethic. They were great this year and will be even better next year. 🙂

Try .037. Because one GE judge gave them 5th while the others gave them 3rd ... and Good sold Chumley tanked their Vis Analysis score to sixth whilst giving BD a perfect score. I try to always be positive ... but, is it time for Chumley to just retire already? I’m tired of him taking out his bias against Crown.

Different nights, same judges. Counts as the same show.

You are correct, sir. And, since both nights are judged by the same judges, it counts.

Incorrect. Flow always cuts off before Big, Loud, and Live starts. Top 15 will only be in the theatres showing that event. They will not be on stream through Flo. Tomorrow and Saturday WILL be the entire show, though.

Bluecoats/Blue Devils/Santa Clara were not there. Also, when you look at the recap, two of the GE Judges gave Crown 1st and two gave them 3rd. I love this show. This is my absolute favorite show of the season. And I have no clue why the GE scores are not higher. But, I'm just saying ... if Bluecoats/Blue Devils/Santa Clara had been there, sadly, Crown would have have had ant 1st place scores in GE.

Sorry for the double post, but I saw this after I made the previous post. in my opinion, Crown had a VERY strong percussion section that season. In fact, if I remember correctly, they were top 3 one night, top 4 another, and top 6 the last. I think it was 4, 3, 6 ... but I can't remember now. So, I think that shows they had a really great drum caption that year. If that 6th place was on Finals, they either had a bad run (not likely), or the judge tanked them (much more likely, as we saw this from judges a lot more just a few years ago than we do now). Just my opinion about 15 minutes after waking up. lol

Or, as was said in the Victory Run ... "AND THIS IS THE DAY!" The way Kevin delivered that line during the Victory Run is still my favorite version because of the obvious subtext in his delivery calling out anyone who thought it was impossible for Crown to win. LOVED that moment!

That sounds like the DVD they put out after the Theatrical special. The fans voted and the Top 6 shows were shown in theatres around the country. Then, later, DCI released a DVD of the event.

Ummm .... Shaun Gallant is going from Santa Clara ... to Blue Devils ... https://www.scvanguard.org/news-from-vmapa/

Hopefully that will make a difference. I don't know if it will or not, but at least I can say I tried.

Little edit I did yesterday. Thought it was an interesting concept. :)

Right, that was what I was getting at. Doesn't that still go with my hypothesis that there's a chance the score jumped because the panel, while still "full" was not a full regional panel?

It's perfectly okay to get excited. But, cautiously. I was excited about the boost in scores as well, but we have to realize that this was not a full panel like it was at St Louis. This was a smaller panel. When panels are smaller, scores tend to jump. So, while I am excited that Crown scored higher, I realize that cautious optimism is best. If Bluecoats had been at the same show and Crown scored within .05 of them, that would be a different story. Let's just practice cautious optimism and trust the Corps. They know what they're doing. :)
