What's getting under Brasso's skin here is that anyone might say a word less than complimentary about the departed staff.  If he actually read what other's posted,  he wouldn't be so shocked to hear that there were those who took issue with some design choices made during their stay at Crown.   But reading what other actually write has never been his strong point.

P-M-T  put together some great shows.  But expectations at Crown are very high.  There's a very strong feeling of "don't let the performers down".  Look at '14 -- PMT clearly admitted they were going to "figure out" the tramps as the season wore on.  That's fine if you can make it happen.  But if you invest all that time and treasure in those props and they end up being perceived a fatal flaw,  well it's not a good thing.  Same can be said of last year and the stagecoach.  PMT decided to make that thing one-sided (at $10k an expensive prop)) and it forced awkward staging moments into the show that just didn't need to be there (and because of the coach design,  couldn't readily be fixed). 

Now sure -- you can sit back and say "Crown has been doing extremely well!  How can anyone possibly complain?"  The fact is when you move into those lofty heights, your expectations do change.   Starting a season with a big design flaw goes from "hey we'll figure it out" to "hey you didn't do your homework".  

Brasso wants to crow about BAC's new staff.  In fact not only does he crow about Boston, he's crowing about Pride (who he's never mentioned in the past  but now is somehow worthy of his crow-age).    And if anyone dare say something less than glorious about his new shiny staff,  he's apparently going to go full on G.I. Joe on them.  OTOH he doesn't want to crow too much -- because they all want to keep their expectations super secret.  So he's going a little off his golf cart.  It's fine.  We all understand, ol' can of polish.

Brasso is excited about the potential Boston has this season. Let him enjoy. You've had many seasons of Crown success and I had that glorious 2011 Cadet season and parts of 2013-15 to be happy about.

With that logic Tobias, Blue Devils have won so many let someone else win. Or the top 6 from last season has had at least one win let someone else win. Lol. No thanks.

Disagree. Beside everything else that the activity is about, wining is a big part of that. If you can win why not win, if any corps win it should be that its hard worked and fought for hens well deserved, and not because another corps let you win. Its called a COMPETITION.

I agree. It can get boring with the same winner year after year to some, but if they're better in design and performance, they should win. 

There's enough places in society where people can get their ego stroked and be told that they're the best, it doesn't need to be handed out to everyone if they haven't earned it.

As a lifelong Cubs fan, it wasn't fun always being out of contention, but it also wouldn't have been fun to just be handed a World Series, it needed to be earned, and it was. 

Competition is part of the activity, so it should be that, a competition.

 Crown has had an upgrade in staff over the ones that left we are hearing here on DCP, and so Corpsband is naturally optimistic about Carolina Crown's chances of improving THIS summer on what some on DCP have called " very stale " productions from Carolina Crown of late. So he's excited about the staff upgrade, and what it potentially could mean this summer for Carolina Crown's chances of moving up in placement, and as well he should be, imo. Let him enjoy the hightened expectations for Carolina Crown this season. A potentially improved Carolina Crown Corps over recent seasons has everybody intrigued and excited for Carolina Crown this season. So its all good at this stage, for both Crown fans, and for Drum Corps fans in general.

Corpsband and Brasso, if you two don't stop it I'm going to make you sit on the couch and hold hands.

I hope D&BC stays Old School and not become Snowflakes.
