Tone Quality Matters

Great show Crossmen. Thank You!

Glad to see Bones make an appearance

Im for looking at both. That's just me. I feel the smaller corps in Open Class would be better suited with a third division. I do realize logistics and limitations are very real though

Wow. What can one say. BDB deserves their placement. That being said, time to rethink the size and scope of Open Class

Stepping into the Blue Knights thread to say thank you BK for what I believe to be one of the finest shows on the field this summer! I love your show. I feel your emotion and you sell it! Good for you!! Bravo

Stepping into the Troopers thread to say that I love your show TROOP! Keep doing what you are doing. One of the finest shows on the field this summer, period. Thanks to each member for a great show!

Crown's trumpet feature was indeed clean., both from an articulation and intonation perspective. BD's feature had clean articulations but inotnation fluctuations. Both teams have fabulous brass. It could have gone either way last night. Crown had moments that lacked some clarity last night. That being said, this is a fantastic year for hornlines. From top to bottom!

Actually, compared to previous history I thought she was relatively tame last night

I have to hand it to you Blue Knights, I love to your show. Well done!

No it's ok, you can say it. It is safe to presume

Nothing to apologize for. Crown had a strong run tonight. Some other teams had a better run than them. The kids and staff were pleased with the energy and performance level. They will work through any issues that popped up from tonights show as they always do. This has been a tough show to perform and they are breaking through now. This is a great year with fabulous shows throughout The top 12. Every year Crown is counted out, done, finished. Every year we prove the critics wrong. This next week will be no different. You clearly have no care or considerate thought for the young people performing the show. The only apology that needs to be made is from you for how you described the kids performance of their show tonight.

Lol! Ok Junior. Time to go play with your toys now. Come back when you grow up.

I will take the opinion of those that performed it over your arm chair quarterbacking.

What in the hell are you talking about?? That was a great run. Kids are happy. Staff is happy. Oh wait, I just read your handle. Nevermind....

BD is not 2 points better than Cadets. These scores are nutts. There is no way you can justify such large separations with two reads on the same show for some of the corps in the GE captions tonight. Shame it is a forgone conclusion who the champion is nine days before finals. Guess we will see modifications to the scoring this coming week for a BOX 6? BD scoring 99.6? 99.9?

Indeed. We at Crown know this all too well

Wow! It is time for this thread to be put out to pasture

Cavaliers field the hardest visual programs year after year? That could be said for them in various decades, but not recently

Well then we certainly aren't talking about Crown, because their sound doesn't suffer

The numbers aren't indicating any "flatlining" for Crown. I don't dispute Cavi's being the comeback team of distinction however. Glad to see it too.I will stand by my previous post. Show continues to clean nicely. Higher demand, big hearts and momentum help Crown surge

Cavi's may catch up with SCV but they won't touch Crown the rest of the summer. Crown surges to 3rd in score in Allentown this weekend as they continue to improve endurance and clean a show with much higher demand and exposure to error

Crown is getting stronger scores in the visual caption and starting to win over some judges in GE and guard score was much stronger. They continue to clean and will max this show out

I literally pulled a muscle from laughter. Your source deceives you.

Crown wins Brass. BD wins GE, and Maybe Visual. SCV wins percussion, Guard a toss up.

You are allowed to be completely wrong as well
