    I don’t have an inside knowledge of what is being planned, but I know there are plans to add some additional layers to the show, and make a few sweeping changes. My guess, is that the design team has been waiting to implement big changes until they got to Memphis for the second time. 

    This is a very solid show but it is missing something. It’s kind of following the same pattern as the other Crown shows in recent years… you see the additional pieces of the package when the the corps gets to Atlanta.

    A few things that I would love to see:

    1. Change out the props - it was clear to me last night that the props Crown is using look like something that was pulled out of the Goodwill waste bin and add ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to this show at all. There is time to rebuild and execute in a new design that adds to the show... or just get rid of them. Put Crown’s props next to the other corps and they look pathetic and out of place.

    2. The plexiglass guard things do absolutely nothing but distract. They’re just walking tics (young people ask the old people what “tics” are). Lose em.

    3. The ballad soloist at the end was going an octave higher in the final note in training camp and for whatever reason they ditched it the day before preview. Let the girl sing for heavens sake - hit that beautiful note! 

    4. The closer needs screamers at the end. The crowd wants to jump up on their feet before the show is over... but they stopping short of allowing them to do that by not giving them what they want. Michael, Matt, c’mon fellas, feed the crowd!! Take two or three of your top trumpet soloists and let them whale in the last 30 seconds of the show. It was MADE FOR IT!!! Do it!!!!!

    #1...I've been saying that all season (to myself)..they serve no purpose...and you can't even really see them from up top...and #2 also...get rid of the wierd "equipment"....that should raise your guard score a tenth or 2...

    DCI On-Demand Question

    Just curious...more times than not, when I try to watch a show on DCI On-Demand, I get the message... "your account does not include access to this content"....but DCI did confirm that I have a valid DCI On Demand account... I would say 90% of the time that I go in, I get this message. I always get into my account, but the shows just don't play. The other 10% it seems to work ok. Has any body else had this problem, and do you have any suggestions? DCI told me that they were aware of a "bug" that prohibits you from seeing the first show you click, but if you click another show then go back to the first one...it should work....nope.....

    This has always been on the same computer...using Internet Explorer..

    Thanks!

    That's what my dealer told me...So I think my best option at this point is to somehow get the CDs I currently have, put them on a thumb drive and listen to that in the car via the USB port. I assumed, to get the audio files on a thumb drive, that I would need to rip the CDs onto my computer first? I haven't done this alot, so I'm looking for the best way to do it...
