I don’t like the way this is written. The press release makes it sound like the Cadets are the victims. Sad.

No doom and gloom here. Looking forward to another amazing year by Crown.

Slick uni’s!

Right there!

Agreed. But the tragic shooting at the Pulse Nightclub in June of that year necessitated the change.

And, great timing of the video. I’d much rather enjoy the hype in February instead of the day before the first show. Also, it’s not the same old boring, canned sound track we often get. I hope more corps follow Surf’s lead in this regard. Nice!

Absolutely love the show announcement video! Finally someone gets it!

Mackey is hip and so is Crown. Look out because the hipster meter is about to TILT in Crown’s favor!

Super excited about John Mackey working with Crown creative for the upcoming season. He’s had a huge influence with drum corps with his incredible music. Check this out:https://dcxmuseum.org/index.cfm?view=search&Composer=Mackey%2C John Wow, Crown is sure to be off the charts again this year!

BINGO!

Woodwinds!

I still got it!

You’re better off where you’re at now. Not only does drum corps not pay well - for the few paying positions they have - I’d be concerned about job security as the longevity of the activity - and many corps - seems to be an ongoing thing.

Agreed. DCI is one major corps collapse closer to extinction. Heaven forbid BD, Bluecoats, or Crown going dark. That would be the end. Something drastically good needs to come out of this. DCI is officially on life support.

This has happened so many times before. Last year it was Vanguard. Before them, it was (fill in the blanks). Members have been stranded in the middle of the season, corps running out of food…. It’s bad news. This stuff all adds up. As a niche activity with declining scale, all hands need to be placed on deck to avoid a death spiral. As I’ve mentioned elsewhere, I hope the new director is up for the challenge.
