I've had BD ballad transitioning into a reprise of Psychopomp stuck in my head.

I've heard one rumor and I dislike it.

I agree, some technical passages can seem sort of like "we're playing a melody, now here's a bunch of double tonguing and runs, and now back to melody!" However, I do appreciate the technical prowess that Crown flexes and I really do hope they find a way to incorporate it more organically.

To be entertaining.

oh no oh no oh no oh no pls

Aww, I need to do better next year .

Anyway, I reeeeeeally wanna hear more full ensemble brass.

Saw a pic of my friend posing with the Ott. He looks so ####### happy, I love it.

1000 pages of fanaticism, bravo

Hopefully all the staff stays intact with a better, more straightforward design next year that incorporates less electronic reliance.

Also for some reason I can't vote, but I pick a tie between 16 and 17.

Why do you guys not like 2016's ballad??????

Did you watch it? They poke fun at man through the entire middle section. They even told a dumb joke and said "after two million years, that's they best they could come up with." That really sounds like making fun of man to me.

What do you think it is?

It's not about scores as it is the fact that literally everyone cringed when the mic started cutting out, and it drew everyone out of the performance emotionally.

1. Santa Clara Vanguard 2. Blue Devils 3. Carolina Crown 4. Cavaliers 5. Boston Crusaders 6. Bluecoats 7. Blue Knights 8. Cadets 9. Blue Stars 10. Phantom Regiment 11. Mandarins 12. Crossmen

I'm not a percussion guy but I'm still happy at the direction the percussion is going on the sheets. Their percussion was a huge weakness just two years ago.

I think I might just be a fan of drill.

I'm hoping for something a bit more connected musically. I am a big fan of what the Blue Knights put on the field and I hope they can leap over the Cadets next year.

I would really like a demanding visual book please.

One authentic Boston Crusaders noose! (for all you Blue Devils haters!)

Trust me, I love musicality, and would love to see a Crown show full of it. But no one really does technical passages quite like Crown. They are truly unique.
