Here you go:

And the show will end with the drum major yelling "WILMA"! :)

As with everybody at this time of year, I hope to not totally understand the show concept. It's June 17th. I have seen BD, Cavies, and Boston so far along with Crown and don't understand what any of them are doing yet. This activity has become all about the additions as the season goes along. With Crown, the first "real" ending will not be put in until Muncie and then they will add and add and add onto the show and then the real, real ending will not go in until the week between San Antonio and Atlanta when close practices are held. It's all just a work in progress and right now everyone is just trying to get between 11-12 minutes on the field. That's all!

Just over 100 returning I believe!

Very true!

With a kid in the corps, I've seen the uniform and think it's awesome and is very "Crown looking" so I'm really wondering if this "mysterious leak" is not the real uniform at all! I could be wrong but I did not think the new uniform would cause this much of a stir in a negative way.

June 17 at Nation Ford High School in Fort Mill!

This is NOT the uniform!

Ahhhh......NO!

Sorry! No purple and grey this year! As far as I know, they will still be wearing a shako.

How could you not be excited for THE BEAST FROM THE EAST.......CAROLINA CROWN!!!!!

Bruckner will blow everyone’s socks off right out of the gate!

You'll be happy! ZERO singing.

I really don't think you're going to have to worry. Yes, it is going to be on the dark side, but the music they have chosen I think will leave everyone being excited and actually leave the stadium humming to some of the music they heard!

Carolina Crown.........The Best Purple Pants Pep Band In The World!!! I'd listen to it all day long!

Yes!

According to Twitter, DCI has just come out with a statement but the website is down right now!

Still trying to verify if this is show music or not, but it's going to be an incredible year once again with this brass section sounding this good in February!

Musically, I can't see how anyone is going to be disappointed!

I think it's more along the lines of Inferno from 2015 instead of part 1 from last year.

It's true! Just loud and lots and lots of notes for both percussion and brass!

There will be no subtlety! You will know they are there right from the start!

Single night tickets go on sale December 4th.

Disaster??? Placement speaks for itself whether you liked it or not! Taking a strong 3rd should never be considered a disaster! Now, on to 2018! Largest audition camp EVER this past weekend and vet retention rate is very high! Going to be tough to make this corps this year and sounds like the show concept is falling into place very nicely! Can't wait to see how strong they are this upcoming season!

Only 44 ageouts this past year (lowest number in the top 5)! Huge number of vets returning from what I am told!
