  1. I've was wondering the same thing recently. What if we counted posts from notable BD and Crown "honks" (do we use that term anymore) on both threads and rate the posts positive, neutral, negative. I wonder how the counts would fall?
  2. I still have ALL my old vinyl -- even the albums my college roommate's kittens used as scratching posts. My tech problem is very few consumer-level amps include an input for turntables these days and I'm just too lazy to order a preamp/converter. And I still have a bookcase of CDs. They still play on the either BluRay player or the LaserDisc player. Have you tried eBay? (Hello, my name is CrownBariDad and I'm a hoarder.)
  3. I'm ok with digital/streaming media as long as anything I purchase can be downloaded and played totally offline. I don't want to buy something that only plays online and then later the lawyers cut off access for some reason or another.
  4. It used to be that you could load CDs into your phone using iTunes (I know -- talking only Apple here), but I haven't tried that in a long time. And of course, using physical CDs means not using up storage space on your phone. The Wife, too, had her case of travel music. There was a huge section on Christmas songs if we were on a road trip for the holidays.
  5. Then pls disregard my previous response. Bad memory strikes again. I edited it to avoid confusion.
  6. I figured. The Wife's 2018 CRV doesn't have one, but does let you connect your phone to the display screen and use apps from the phone -- maps, music, text, etc.
  7. EDIT: Folks on another thread say scores are announced each night.
  8. So the short version -- CrownLAND is where the Drum Corps elite hang their hats OR We are adept at feeding the trolls.
  9. Old Chinese curse -- May you live on interesting threads. 🙂
  10. Sadly, I think you are correct. How do other Corps threads keep the drama from running rampant?
  11. Just eyeballed some of this season's thread stats. What is it about the Crown thread that attracts so much attention? Most views, most replies, most pages. Only a few show threads can keep up. One would think BD's thread (heading to another undefeated season and another championship) and BAC's thread (on an historic run this year) would be getting all the attention. Just seems strange to me.
  12. But only sea stories about music. Gotta keep it a little topical.
  13. Yep. I think NTC Orlando is now some sort of commercial development now. I was in boot camp in Orlando in Jan 1973 and stationed there 1974-76.
  14. After my Med Cruise I was transferred to NTC Orlando which also included RTC (Recruit Training Center). If we weren't on tour, we'd split ceremonial band duties at boot camp graduation every Friday with the other band units. I don't recall ever having an indoor graduation due to heat or rain, but it might have happened. It did snow in Tampa one time while I was there.
  15. I'm seeing other folks adding what they played, so I updated my original post.
  16. Don't get out much, do you. 🙂 The Wife used the app but really wanted to watch the performance as it was her first viewing of Crown live. As we've seen, the app flashes the phone light during the count down. She said it also prompts you to clap in rhythm and to do finger snaps (she said it's supposed to be a rain sound). There were also some swirly colored lights from time to time -- probably escaped from Bloo's show.
  17. My Ignore list grows every day. I've even taken some folks off the list as a trial run, but it's hardly any time at all before they're back in limbo.
