Oh, come on everybody, don't over-react. Crown's percussion is fine. I mean, why do they need to compete with the top battery lines? I mean, there are corps that would be thrilled to be in the top 6. Percussion is soo competitive. Crown even brought in new people this year and they have turned a corner in percussion, haven't they? With the new people the percussion has brought in, no one should expect a turn around in the section for three years or so. Consequently, no one should be concerned in the least, right?

Dude, How many people bother me? If these people take my statement wrong, there is an easy solution, don't read them. I have many people, whose comments (e.g., yours), that bother me, but generally do not address them publically in this public forum. I just don't seem to get the same respect that I attempt to get other individual readers and posters. Oh, and this is just an aside, do you think I care if I "bother" people on this board???? See, ladies and gentlemen, it is easy to attempt to embarrass people in on a public board (e.g., caliswift and Dash fieldpaint) than it is send me a private message which I've offered to both of them.

I never said it was, caliswift. Never. Can people that disagree with me do so in message and let other readers and responders enjoy the board? I'll give you the opportunity to air your grievance against me there once. So, make the best of it. Again, I'm sorry that people are spending time trying to keep me from offering an opinion by using the Crown 2015 board to do it.

I'm allowed to caliswift. It's called opinion. If you have a problem with my opinion, don't read it. Again, to all the readers and responders of the forum, I apologize for people, who dislike my comments, now making Crown 2015 about me.

Hey Cappy...can you see the difference in Crown Lead Sop's replay and Dash Fieldpaint's. It's night and day. One is a genuine inquiry (Crown Lead). One is pointless and seems designed to get me to shut up (Dash). I apologize to all readers of this forum for the personal aside from Dash and my need to respond. Back to the relevant discussion.

We have some history, Cappy. There is back story. Sorry, I know from Dash's isolated comment, it doesn't seem that way.

Dash...If you have a problem with me I will unblock you from messenger. Don't bring your issues with me on the board, please. I will take your post directly to a mod. If you don't like my opinion, don't read it! In case you were unaware, every opinion is one' own and I don't need to represent Crown or its alumni to have an opinion.

Is Crown done making significant changes to the show?

Tekk, unlike Crown (e. g., percussion), the Cadets do not typically allow staff that perform worse that the members stay around long, it seems.

One can also hope that Torchia is not on a finals panel. Sorry, but the bias seems very clear. I did not say this because I want Crown to win, but because this judge is not necessarily fair to many drum corps.

One can hope corpsband.

Crown should be proud, they will likely place second with a fantastic show. But, the percussion again, is the Achilles heel as it was in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014.

True, cf144, but in 2013, percussion was the only weakness. This year visual is a problem as well as percussion.

Sorry, Tobias, I disagree. This would be the case if BD was weaker in guard, but they are not.

Sorry, Plan 9, Crown's percussion score is an anomaly that does not yet represent consistency of performance or instruction. It should not surprise anyone on the forum if their percussion score stays the same from Allentown through finals.
