Carolina Crown 2018


Recommended Posts

Other than for a few moments here and there, the preview didn't really excite me as much as some other leaked corps shows. I won't list why, it's still June. I'm sure it'll become one of my favorites in due time like they've done in the past.

The guard is definitely back to what they were pre 2017.  Wow - I'm glad last year was a one off.  This show will be amazing and I'm super happy to see "Crown Guard" back to form !!!!

 

Later,

Some June kinks, but yeah; so far my favorite bare-bones start from them in years. Guard work is fast and actually noticeable this year, percussion is savage, and most of all I can really see Sacktig's stamp on things more this time around.

That was YouTube taking it down

No, I posted a google drive link to the preview that is still working.... it's not the one that was on YouTube and taken down this morning.  But Oh well, I still have it and it's still viewable.

So I watched the clip a couple of times prior to its removal and had the following observations:

1. Brass - I believe the horn-line is in good shape and playing a very difficult book.  I would rate what I heard as good for June 17th.  Prospectively, I look forward to the cleaning that the Harloff's will do which should straighten out any rough areas. Overall I think this group is solid and will land in the top 3.

2. Percussion - The battery is killer and by far the best line Crown has fielded in recent years.  Obviously its early and I have no clue how they will score, but I could easily see them top 3 come finals.  They are very impressive and honestly killing it as of June 17th.  Overall I think this group is solid and will land in the top 3.

3. Guard - This group wins the most improved award of the corps (year over year), as they have a lot of demand and are executing their book pretty good.  It really felt like the quality guard Crown is use too is back, of which will have a significant impact on overall scoring for the corps as the season progresses.  I did see several rifle drops / dirt in general, but all I can say is job well done.  They brought a lot of energy to the show.  Overall I think this group is solid and will land in the top 3.

4. Overall - I think this is one of the stronger pre-season shows that Crown has produced since 2013.  I look forward to the ending being added and all of the other layers/changes that will be added as the season continues.  I also thought the visual package (drill and body) was pretty well done, as Jeff Sacktig is doing an excellent job for Crown.  To me, Crown's drill/visual is on the rise.  Overall I believe this show will be top 3 and I am with the other person who stated I could use another 12 minutes of that closer as that was fun/exciting.

I wish them the best of luck this season and on Thursday.
