This is a copy of a paragraph from the Crown 2014 registration announcement. "If you have the special talent of being a Choral or Voice enthusiast in addition to playing brass & percussion instruments or participate in guard & dance, we absolutely would like to see you as there will many of these positions to fill." Crown insiders: what does it mean for the theme of the 2014 show?

Information copied from TOC series web page on dci.org: Charlotte, NC Sunday, July 31 Memorial Stadium (downtown Charlotte) Annapolis, MD Sunday, Aug. 7 Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium We plan to attend both of these shows!!

Crown tour information is listed on their web site under Programs. Click on CrownCORPS then click on CrownTour2010. Their Murfreesboro housing site is Forrest High School in Chapel Hill, TN. This school is located west and south of Murfreesboro in the country about 20 minutes from the interstate. They have used this same site for several years. Their rehearsals are open to the public. Ensemble rehearsal usually starts after 3:00.

It is my understanding that many of the OSU fans make the drive to Bloomington on the day of the game and do not stay overnight or eat in the local restaurants. Many IU fans from Indy do the same thing.

Is anyone else curious that the full stadium will be ready for a nationally televised NFL preseason Colts game on 8/24 but half of the stadium will not be ready for DCI on 8/7? Perhaps the DCI event was kicked out so that the construction company would have five more days (1 day for set up, 3 days for the events and 1 day for tear down) to prpare for football. Did DCI negotiate for a bare bones stadium to use? I am familar with Bloomington and IU and they definitely do not have the resources and facilities to host this type of event. Four months notice makes the success of DCI Championship week a major challenge for everyone!
