Great to hear that another corps is doing Hymn of Acxiom. http://oregoncrusaders.org/about-oc/2014-show/

Carolina Crown Sneak Peak Of course they'll speed parts of it up, so no one else will be able to play it, and put a life boat in the corner of the field with a CGI tiger in it.

Crown's show is a depiction of Richard Strauss's original vision---having wrinkled old men morph into giant space babies. Meanwhile, in an alternate universe, two lovers are being taught how to count, while playing a game of musical bench. Oh yeah, mass and energy are related (you'll need that for your physics exam), rolling bass drums are cool, and we have purple pants.

What Crown's show really needs...

Not totally accurate Crown snippet aired on Birmingham TV.

Charioteers in '72 and '74.

Not new. Our comrades in the Madison Scouts struck first glorious blow against capitalism in 1973 show.

What's the logic in separating World Class and Open Class corps in the smaller shows? There might be only one or two Open Class corps in competition, so I don't see their scores as being very meaningful. People are always saying you can't compare results from different shows with different panels. In days of yore (the 70s), everyone was just grouped together until Finals (or maybe larger shows like the U.S. Open).
