I think I agree with you on Crown on this years show (side note: Diego's Goodbye is the reason I decided to march with them in 2002). It's obvious they've got the talent this year, but I'm still not getting the right vibes with this show. It took a while for me to get with last year's program, but once I understood it, I absolutely loved it. I just hope the same thing happens this year. I don't think they're trying to be weird for the sake of being weird though. The "Second Chance" theme is becoming more apparent to me in every part of the show. With the exception of all the body movements, and those gold horns.... But I guess with the sound they put out, the horns can be any color they want!

DCI Finals - and the season - in Review
NCSU_Crown replied to TexasPRfan's topic in DCI (All) Corps Show & Event Reviews
Awesome review, thanks!! Also concerning Crown's show, I can definitely see the Wizard of Oz theme, but technically they were going more for Jack and the Beanstalk, just FYI. And I too really liked Phantom's show this year...I hope we see them back at least in the top six in 2010. -
Some Season ending thoughts.
NCSU_Crown replied to scarolina's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Crown has proven that they are a top 3 corps - for 2009. Based on how they've been climbing the ranks consistently since 2003 goes to show that they have their act together and most likely will stay at least in the top 4-5. Then again, as many corps know first-hand (Phantom this year, even 2002 Crown), it only takes one show to change all that. Here's hoping they continue their trend!! GOLD in 2010!! -

You fell asleep during Boston's show?? Man, that takes talent! -
Who gives the best encore?
NCSU_Crown replied to wilme861's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
I've loved Crown's encores the last few years. They show off a lot of personality and just have fun. Like last year, starting out with Jump, then Earth, Wind and Fire, followed later by Deck the Halls - in 7/8. Very entertaining! -

As am I! Thanks for the update! -

I dont think any changes to the staff (faculty ) need to be made at Crown. And I wouldn't exactly say that their visual program is "struggling." While its not perfect, its still pretty freakin' good! The more difficulty the program has, the harder it will be to march clean (sound familiar HNC fans?), and therefore more dirt. Drum corps 101. I'm just excited that they're in medal contention this year! No matter what happens tonight, all eyes will be on Crown next year to continue their climb in DCI.

Its only a matter of time before DCI will start producing the Finals for Blue-ray (then eventually 3-D ). Can't wait!! -
Quarterfinals on The Big Screen

Music in Motion-New Jersey
NCSU_Crown replied to thatpitkid's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
It happens from time to time. Corps can have an off performance, but the main thing is a different judging panel. There are several factors. It is common for all corps. I love the Blue Knight's score page, it shows you a great graph of how each corps has done over a given period (including when they have dipped and shot back up again). Check it out: http://www.bknights.org/bknights.org/scores/standings.asp. -
Carolina Crown's Colorguard
NCSU_Crown replied to Dylan Ford's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
I talked with Mark Whitfield (Crown's DM) on Thursday, and he hinted at a change like this...he didn't seem to mind it though. As a former DM myself, I would love to conduct this show - ESPECIALLY the end of Puck. -
I thought SCV's show was nice, played well, but nothing too exciting. That all changed for the last minute or two. The end of the show was absolutely amazing, and got me on my feet real quick.

Best of the Decade - Carolina Crown
NCSU_Crown replied to DCImonkey's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
1. 2009 - The Grass Is Always Greener 2. 2007 - Triple Crown 3. 2008 - Finis 4. 2004 - Bohemia 5. 2005 - Angelus 6. 2006 - In.Trance.It 7. 2003 - Bell-isimo 8. 2000 - The Mask of Zorro (this was the show that made me want to march Crown) 9. 2001 - Industry 10. 2002 - Greek Mythology. It obviously wasn't the best Crown show, but perhaps one of the most important for the organization. It was still fun to march, too. -
Definitely voted Crown for #1, but followed closely by HNC and then Cavies.
-
I agree with that - for the most part. I was actually a bit bored with SCV's show, that is until they started up Lord of the Dance. That ending was goosebump city!! And I'm pretty sure Crown had all 5 basses tonight.
