Yes! All the nay sayers are killing me! Crown was 2nd and 1st in GE, 2nd in visual, 3rd in guard, 1st in brass, and 2nd in percussion. I'll take that as a season start over the last 2 years.
You're talking to someone who has taught visual, and was in a high school marching band who never lost visual. Do you want one person out of the form and it look like crap, or do you want the form to look good even if it is a step over from where it should be?
