Crown sometimes overwrites their runs killing the flow of the piece so while I appreciate the effort it can be too much, I feel some of that has crept into BD's book since 2014 You have a very pretty corps BD My post wasn't directed at you.

If it follows, more stagnant, group brass dance wiggle visuals for the brass runs i thought you were talking about Crown 2017 here 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said the same thing in 2013. Maybe I’m biased, but I don’t see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I generally agree with your opinion and would credit Crown, for better or worse, with popularizing body movement All the corps through the ranks influence each other by using stuff they’ve ripped off of bands, WGI, dance troop and bad trips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skevinp Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 This strand of discussion came about with reference to the Ott. Are people saying body movement affects the brass score? I would not have thought so, but I really don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
