Truly. Just, so, jeeze. Sooo much control and intonation. Operatic….

Nice to get an up-close & personal with Anna. She was such a integral member in ‘17. With a few exceptions, she was nails that whole season, and a truly talented vocalist👑👍

[Mostly] quilty as charged. Mea culpa to all CrownFAMILY. I don’t care where we stand going into Indy, I’ll be honking early & often, ‘til the last CrownSET of 2023👑🎺🥁🗡📢

All this Inferno chatter inspired me to go back for a long overdue rewatch. Had forgotten the sheer, overwhelming power of the opener. Just a sonic wall of drum corps bliss. Maybe 2nd place in ‘15, but forever #1 in this Crownie’s heart ♥️👑 Here’s to a monster run this evening. Off tomorrow, so I’m going the distance tonight!!

This. Gawd yes, this. I, too, was in attendance in ‘15 @ WFU (1st season of NightBEAT venue relocation from ALMS/Charlotte), and as Dennis DeLucia was famous for saying “ The crowd is [was] electric!!” Crown was nipped by BD that night, but BB&T stadium—as was named then—collectively lost it’s mind that Sunday night👑🎺🥁

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” – George Santayana, The Life of Reason, 1905. From the series Great Ideas of Western Man ….but I definitely like where you’re goin’ with that👍

We’ve talked about this before, pal. Don’t flake on us down the stretch. We need CrownATTACKDAWG! Besides, we’d miss ya bruh🙁

Notice the date & location. Closet event I could find to tonight. Got’tem right where we want’em folks😉

Okay. Backing away from the precipice…

Seen this movie, hate how it ends. Yes, I hold out hope, but d@mn, it sure gets challenging to stay positive every season. Regardless. Love what they’re doing, and no placement’s gonna change that. Livin’ for the live show in 12👑👑👑!!!

Nobody that spends any time on this thread…

As a high school trumpet player in the mid ‘70’s, I worshipped at the alter of Maynard Ferguson. So it goes without saying that I’m awestruck year in and out by DCI screamers. But, jeeze, the control, intonation and luscious tone of that soloist in the ballad is equally brilliant. In the running for one of Crown’s finest ballads. And after ‘13, thought that’d be impossible.

Off topic but begs the question: BOA date this season?

Of course I hope for a stellar run for Crown tonight, but this day scores a “W” at my place. CrownSTORE delivered, and the the official countdown for my attendance at NightBEAT has commenced. Again, killer run in BA….GO CROWN!!!!

Yep. Been a lot o’ bangin’ re CrownPERC. Shock. Frankly, compared to last year, probably not quite making our quota. Yet. Regardless of how Crown trends in the next couple of week, it’ll increase exponentially. All good though. CrownTHREAD likely to repeat as No. 1 by season end🥇🏆

All this talk of arcane percussion placement is stressing me out. Can’t do #### about it except honk or beef☹️ How ‘bout a Monday, blast from the past👑 Got an email from the fine folks at our fav drum corps today, that credentials for NightBEAT are enroute! BTW, three of the spots on my Crown Rushmore🎺🥁👑👍

Can I get an AMEN to that?!?!!

Yes. Maybe…

So power was out when I woke this a.m. Reduced to my obsolete, bug riddled phone, I see one thing: Crown passed by Bloo. Returning after church, I’ve been able to read the autopsy in more depth, and I’m a bit more sanguine about the situation. Eerily, this has the early vestiges of a bad movie, that we’ve had to sit through for too many seasons now. As always though, I remain hopeful for continued success as we enter the truly competitive part of the season. Lot of drum corps left to “be played”… GO CROWN!!👑👑

WildcatMello is on scene this evening, but he’s under contract to provide only CrownHYPE analysis. Actually he’s proven to be fairly knowledgeable observer and has promised some commentary, though don’t know if it’ll be real time or a synopsis post performance.

See what ya did there…we’ll played🎬🎥😁

Underrated movie. Grossed $150MM on a $50MM budget. Plus, original Hans Zimmer score.

Made my post before I read yours. Venmo or paypal?

Okay, we need boots/heels/sneakers/flip-flops, whatever, on the ground here! $50 to whomever will provide on site, CrownBIASED field analysis tonight in ArKan$a$💸💸💸 Kidding, of course. Can’t imagine how brutal the heat & humidity is going to be out there for the spectators. For mm’s, well, at least they’ve got youth on their sides.

It’s a show day…GO CROWN!!!
