Crown with a 75.00!

It would be difficult to do. 1. The source material is so diverse and much of it is from genres that Crown really hasn’t explored in the past. I think it will pay off for them! 2. The percussion / electronic / brass integration is on a level we have never seen from Crown. The brass is amazing - but all the sections are performing at the brass line level and the book was written to feature this. It is a very cohesive musical design. 3. The show has a well defined story arc. It’s not a concept anyone is going to struggle to grasp. That is a good thing. If you liked “Inferno” you will be very happy with the vibe of this show - which is going to be on a whole new level in every aspect.

Saw the run through last night of parts 1-4. I don’t want to give too much detail but I can say that this is the show that Crown was destined to put on the field! It’s epic story telling - dark and powerful. I am really liking the integration of all elements. Yes there are props - still a work in progress but I think they will be the best use of props that crown has ever had. It would be pointless to make competitive speculation so I won’t even try. I just know that I am really going to enjoy watching this show mature over the summer!

.05 difference over the 3 night average in brass!

Crown’s 3 zillion yards of fabric + rain = no bueno.

I loved the #64 rubber band holding the water key closed on the Marine’s Baritone soloist horn!

Flo, Your audio still sucks.

Dear Flo, Your sound is no bueno. That is all. Thanks.

North Carolina Bandmasters Association will not sanction any marching contests this fall.

If woodwinds are allowed, will there be a woodwind caption award? Who would the trophy be named after? 😄

Snarky Puppy. I’m in...

For a second there I thought you were talking about brass lines...

"Interstellar" in the opening?

The question on everyone’s mind is which corps is losing their executive chef?

I expect this to get back on track after next weekend. 😉

More Snarky Puppy, please.

Was that Sponge Bob’s eye’s on that opener silk?

Love Blue Knights Percussion! They’re just doing their own unique thing. So musical.

Flo is not “Flo”ing very well tonight. 😞

Why does only one tenor have a visible harness?

Drum Corps could use a little more Snarky Puppy. Thank you Spartans!

Crown - that was legit!

Caught between the Scylla and Charybdis.
