    I agree.  But to hear some of the Crown folks talking, it seems as though this year was a huge disappointment them.

    You mean like 6 people on DCP who post the same fetid opinion over and over. Though there are thousands of comments from people on Facebook and YouTube from people who loved the show. But that doesn’t fit the narrative of a “disappointing” year for crown. But don’t let me stop you from carrying on with your version of reality.

    So you've talked to most everyone who has seen Crown live this year? I'm really joking here. I don't think you can say that with certainty, but I would say they probably do. That brass, that guard, that music - of course the reaction is positive. To me, they were clearly the fan favorite tonight. I think that had to do with brass, guard and the music, not the audience interaction. 

    Ah sorry, didn’t mean to speak positive about Crown in the Crown thread my mistake. Gotta be realistic and zero hype zone. Thanks for policing my clearly irrational reaction.

  3. People wondering why a show designed for live performance with audience interaction doesn’t work via broadcast. Most Everyone that watches the show live comes away with a positive impression.

     

    The show feeds off crowd energy more than any other show out there and there is no doubt that the live audience loves Crown even if the arm chair designers watching at home for the 8th time like to say otherwise.

    Exactly. Now I’m seeing it was performance order on the Crown thread. They went on 3rd and got 2nd. San Antonio will be different when they go on later. 

    Looks like another undefeated season for BD.

    Looks like Henry is super duper mad 😡 at people who like to cheer on their favorite corps. Lots of people are mad that Crown has fans that like to HONK every now and then. Don’t be like Henry 😡

    I think the judges are just making #### up at this point.

    Someone please explain GE to us, in English, like we’re all 4th graders, so we can get It. Cause I have no effing clue what constitutes GE anymore.

    GE is actually a check box that says “are you watching the blue devils?” And then it gets checked off or left blank.

    Was thinking the same thing, this is a reincarnation of Cadets, right down to the zipper variation. You can’t fault the effort and talent, I just wish the show design made any sense whatsoever.

    Its about living like tomorrow doesn’t exhist (Chandalier lyrics). Living in the moment. And creating moments that last forever hence infinity looking prop and imagery. That’s all.

    I think Flo is the reason.  I like the fact that the soloist pays through the end. I also notice the they may have had some audio issues with intro to the last movement.  

    Not sure of people realize but Flo receives direct feeds from corps’ sound boards now. It can sometimes be a point of error in the hustle of setting up if Flo plugs things incorrectly or gets the feeds crossed. Also, that means an engineer not associated with the corps is responsible for balancing the corps electronics in the live feed.

    So what you hear on Flo, in spite of their best efforts, is not always indicative of what you hear live in a stadium which is what the corps’ engineers are balancing for.

    I cant concede that crowns brass isnt .5 better.  Best brass in DCI this year, and thats not taking away from Boston who has a great one too.  Crowns big prob is always their percussion, its gonna kill them if they dont clean it up.

    Crown doesn’t have a “percussion” problem. Maybe you haven’t realized that we’re not in 2010 - 2014 anymore. Crown’s percussion is strong. These judges are just so absorbed in their comfort zones they can’t even bother to hear or enjoy anything else other than ram jam band. DCI percussion judging is an embarrassment. there are only 3 good judges and the politics is through the roof.

  9. The existence of Narration is fine. That doesn’t mean that it can’t have pitfalls. I actually prefer Bluecoats use of narration vs Cadets because Cadets are too heady and poetic vs Bluecoats more conversational tone and common word choice. I literally lose track of what Cadets are saying in their longer monologues. But Bluecoats is telling a more clear story (to me) not trying to conveying “abstract emotions” and when what the narrator is saying is portrayed visually that’s a good use of narration.

    Imo this should  still make Crown nervous and doesn’t separate them much from much from the top groups. But hey they’re up there

    Boston didn’t win any sub captions except perc. “Nervous” is the word I’d use. If some do the captions were a bit more back and forth sure but… 98% 1st doesn’t really scream “close” to me.

    I have never been one to the stir the pot, as I try to show love and respect to everyone. 

    But not tonight. This BD honk is praying Bloo smokes Crown tonight. 

    Some of these Crown fans (Not All) acting as if Bloo and BD don't exist, and they are just going to roll to Indy and collect Gold is hilarious. 

    I really like Crown's show this year, Crown performed their butts off last night and salute to them, but some of these Crown fans (Again Not All) and their outlandish takes in the last 48 hours need a serious reality check. 

    And I hope it comes from the fine Men and Women of Canton. 

    DO IT UP BLOO!!

     

    When people say "Drum corps is back!" this is what they really mean. So let the Honks be loud and the Takes be spicy!
