  1. Thank you, btown50, for posting the link. I appreciate the thoughtfulness.

    Upon 3 viewings:

    * As everyone has pointed out, extremely proficient and technically impressive brass line. That being said, I still would take the Star 1990 - 1993 brass lines any day of the week -- and yes, twice on Sunday. As impressive as Crown's line is -- I believe there can come a point where "perfect" or "near perfect" technical execution runs the risk of being "cold"...almost impersonal. There is something about the music that, once I get past the initial awe over technical performance, there is not enough content to continue holding my interest. That commentary is directed about the music itself -- NOT the performing members.

    * I didn't find the ballad choice to be particularly riveting. I would have loved to hear the slow section of "Jupiter" (I Vow To Thee My Country) programmed here; it would have lent a more human touch (not to mention a more emotional build) to the impersonal void that is space. But that is most probably just the raving of an idiot...

    * Trampolines? Meh...

    * During the "auto parts" percussion feature: did anyone notice the one kid on the left that appears to be all of about 15? Pretty impressive if he IS anywhere near that young.

    * As for design: I won't speak on that, since I'm sure that there will be innumerable changes throughout the summer.

    In general, I can appreciate that there is a lot of proficiency exhibited in those 11 minutes. Personally, however...it just doesn't grab me. JMVHO.

    Hit the nail right on the head. I can appreciate how technically challenging the show is all day and how well they are executing it, but it doesn't reach out and grab me like last years did. I don't care too much at all for the percussion feature played on props, or all the clutter on the field. I'm sure there will be significant changes throughout the summer, but this show is just ehhh for me. BD FTW.
