All due respect to Mr. Crocker, imo he's making too many mistakes, fumbling the timing, etc... I would love to see Dan Potter Fran Haring take the reins. He does just as enthusiastic a job, but he's on time and very clear. Why, thank you!!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moist emoting would just be awful. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also won the Sanford that year, so they set the bar very high for future corps that would do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I contradict myself by saying it but it would be strange if he wasn't announcing! It just always is weird for me hearing "presenting their 2016 program, confusing existentialism, THE AHAHAKAFZJAVZJAHAUA" then it turns into some serious deep show. No offense to Mr. Crocker, there's a reason he's had that role for a while. Just my two cents :o) I'll be brave and back you up on this. Brandt didn't always bust out the gravel voice. And I too find it cringe worthy. Phantaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam RRRRRRegiment!!!!!!!! Okay I get it. But, Brandt, it's not about you, just sayin'. Just announce the corps straight up, as you used to do. This is why I like how Bluecoats do their own introduction. I suppose I just poked the stick into the hornet nest but.... I've been thinking this for years.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
