Vandegrift High School from Austin, TX marched in the parade today as well. They were the BOA Grand National champs in 2019.

This is from the Crown instagram page. Assisting Visual Designer, Jeff Sacktig and Artistic Director, Rick Subel will be a newly created Choreography & Visual Production team under the leadership of Andy Ebert (Production Supervisor) and Tyler Edrington (Choreography Supervisor). We are also excited to welcome our latest additions to the choreography team; Mike Jackson, John Escalante and Kassie Gonzalez! carolinacrown.org/staff

I can’t wait to see what kind of brass line they field this year. They are always amazing, but each one tends to have its own flavor, it’s own tone quality, and own personality. I am curious which one we get this time around. It seems the hornlike talent has been skyrocketing the last few years again. Wonder if they choose a more aggressive flavor or a more sultry flavor. I guess it depends on the show design of course. Also intrigued by the staff changes. Wonder if there will be more.

Welcome to the 2023 Carolina Crown thread! Thought I would start this already, first thing I have to say is I am really curious how this design team does next season. A lot to be learned from this year. All of the performance captions are doing amazing. Percussion getting a lot better, guard picking it up too. I really want to see these performers get handed a show design that knocks it out of the park and see how it comes out in the end.

But what they play is soooooooo clean.

I definitely think the lack in dynamic variability is hurting crowns show a LOT this year.

That show has definitely grown on me a lot since first viewing but definitely not my favorite.

I definitely think both crown and boston had a cleaner run tonight than bd though.

I have been trying to give some critique and credit to all of the corps I have commented on tonight.

This is a cool movement.

Trombone having some trouble with the slurs and interval jumps tonight.

Rough music run for BD but drill is pretty clean.

That show holds the same kind of emotional value to me as a Sparticus or inferno did. Absolutely incredible. Awesome dynamic range throughout the entire show that added soooooo much to the GE for me.

Man boston has come such a long way in the last ten years. This is incredible to watch.

That drill is squeaky C L E A N Boston
