Carolina Crown 2015
Nachfolger Christi replied to Crown Phan's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
reducing the difficulty of the percussion book, should have been done a month ago. It's too late. -

Agreed, Zerix. I'm just down that Crown's percussion just can't seem to get any love. -

Percussion, Zerix, is something they need to improve as well. -
"Championship" design vs. performance
Nachfolger Christi replied to t-mac's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
I am thinking about shows like Cadets 2010, Cadets 2012. In my opinion, there were definite design issues with both shows, but the performers did the best they could with what they were given. I will add Crown 2010, 2011, and 2014 as shows where design was never championship caliber. -

Yes, it would be fantastic, as an alumni, to experience Crown win this year. This, however, is what is more exciting to me, namely the members have been given a championship caliber show. Win a title or not. The designers have not let the members down this year, and, because, the show is a championship show, the members have a design that they can perform to their upmost potential. No staff can expect their members to perform a show to its peak when the design doesn't work. Design and performance have a symbiotic relationship. Very rarely, if ever, can you have one without the other. Please Crown designers and staff, give the members a championship caliber show year after year and no one will be disappointed year in and year out. -

Maybe I just need perspective. Am I just imagining it, or does D. Torchia, the judge, particularly not like Crown this year? -

Oh...I would like Crown to stay dark all the way through the show and play something other than Ode to Joy. -

I have little complaint about this year's show, because, compared to last year's, the 2015 show is 10 times better design wise than 2014, and the members know it because they are performing this show to its peak every night. -

I have waited YEARS to see Crown's percussion give the brass a run for their money! I am so proud of the battery performers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -
Murfreesboro, TN: Tour of Champions (7/24/15)
Nachfolger Christi replied to cube's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
I'm sorry to the people in this thread, but I didn't want to start a brand new topic just for a one sentence answer and I knew that people would be monitoring this forum through the day and into the night. I noticed that Crossmen last year at finals scored an 86 and change. Is this the highest 12th place scoring in the activity so far? Thank you. -

Thank you, Crownfan33 for the heads up about volume. -

I am so impressed by the members this year. They put out a stellar performance every night!!!! -
Actually, grammie. There is some truth to the situation with Phantom. It is a staffing problem. It is not a member problem. People make it sound like one of the ordinary folk can just walk in and make the organization change. It doesn't work this way with the much more business (e.g., money) focused aspects of corps. If Phantom can spend the money for top staff in all aspects, then they need to do so in order to compete at a championship level. If they cannot or do not want to do so, and the powers that be are satisfied with placing in the top 12 with an occasional appearance in the top five and a championship every decade or so, this is ultimately a business choice.

San Antonio Lineup
Nachfolger Christi replied to jameseuph's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
I don't understand what point it serves to punish Pioneer performers for something that was completely out of their control. What message does it send? It's pointless. -

Please Crown...go darker with the ending. I love Ode to Joy, but it just doesn't seem to fit well. Thank you members for out performing the design staff at this point. -

Hopefully, the new closing of the show will push them into medal position, but the designers don't always do the work for championship contention.
