Said in the voice of Ted Knight and Bill Woodson of Justice League fame

So as Championship Week begins I wanted to take this opportunity to reflect back and thank the Crown organization for all they have done for our family. My son will age-out after 6 absolutely incredible years. When our son told us he wanted to march Carolina Crown I will admit I didn't know a lot about the corps (my wife and I had been involved pretty heavily in the 70's and 80's, but tapered off until 2005), but boy did he make a great choice! The administration, the faculty and the volunteers are simply incredible people who have become an important part of our family. The care and expertise that this organization takes to ensure a quality experience for the members, in my opinion, is second to none. The opportunity to perform, and entertain countless thousands people, and certainly to the level Crown has achieved, is something he will carry with him forever. One of our favorite pictures is one I took at prelims in the Rose Bowl in 2007, it was a close up on him right before the performance, he is looking up at the crowd in that stadium with the most genuine smile and has his left hand touching his crown on his uniform, the sheer joy of that experience captured in that photograph still brings warmth to our hearts. My son is a champion because of his time with Crown, the leadership skills he has learned from this experience will carry forth to those he comes in contact with everyday, and in that way Crown will touch the lives of so many more people who perhaps do not know about this activity. I will forever be grateful that he had this experience, and that we got to share in it with him. Good luck to all the corps, the members and volunteers this week you all are incredible people and I know you will give the audiences a tremendous performance. To Crown, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you and RACH THE HOUSE!! In.Trance.It Triple Crown Finis The Grass is Always Greener A Second Chance Rach Star

I already see one mandatory move for the Universe Class

That appears to be a little more challenging than Mt. Hope HS in Bristol RI

Sorry couldn't get the reply quote thing right on the phone DCI asked that Firstbeat be moved to accommodate those corps in the Orlando show so they didn't have such a long drive between shows. Firstbeat is normally in June and Crown attends. Schedule didn't allow it thus year. It was a great show with some great performances. Congratulations to all of the performers.

No. Not in the 80's

I'll take one. Oh, and could I have fries with that? "I like french fried taters."

Thanks...that is great.

According to the twitter feed found at #showofshows. Phantom just finished

Excellent. A great audience for all of the corps! :bigsmile:

OH MY MY how could I forget them pulling out all the stops with this one. (with great deference and admiration to Steve Rondinaro) :worthy:
