Gorgo Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Congrats to Crown on an abso-tively superb show - Finis was one of two shows that elicited tears (good thing, not bad) from me - the other being Phantom - from the emotion and sheer beauty of the performance - this is my all-time favorite Crown show!

contrajedi8 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Big props to Crown. My only wish for them is to continue the momentum and not go the way of 2006 Bluecoats of 2000 Boston Crusaders or Blue Knights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guardguy89 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 (edited) A curious observation: Regiment gained fame for "I march with Phantom 'cause I like 4th place...." sung to the tune of 1812 Overture. Crown plays that tune this year, and guess what happens? I hadn't even thought of that - but wow - that is certainly a funny coincidence! I guess Crown will be playing Spartacus next year And a huge congrats to Crown - even though I still think you guys should have won guard!!!!!!

ContraFart Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 actually Crown was my favorite show this year. I have not had goosebumps like that since star 93. This activity needs new blood at the top, and crown has all the right people in the right places to maybe have them contending for a championship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doogiempt Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I believe that a 96.8 is the highest score any 4th place corps has gotten at finals, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megadrive Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I believe that a 96.8 is the highest score any 4th place corps has gotten at finals, no? As a matter of fact, it is! Big ol' props to Crown! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slabbit Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Thank you Crown! I have frankly been ambivalent about DCI and the direction of the corps for the most part since 1993. Over the last two years and especially this year, you have single-handedly made me a fan again. I get chills like I used to back in high school hearing Star hit one of their beautiful chords and instead of just hearing "loud" I hear "notes" which happen to be louder than anyone else. How in the hell any judge gave you 5th (FIFTH?!?!?!) in brass is a shame, but is typical for what drew me away from drum corps. Keep it up and I hope for a Jim Ott and maybe more next year. Thanks again Crown and congratulations! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Indeed, big congrats to Crown. I would've liked to have seen them catch the Cavs, but Crown still put out one of the few shows that I'll be able to listen to alone on CDs this year, so I'm happy. Cant wait to see what they pull out next year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayman Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I too congratulate Carolina Crown. Fantastic show that really set the bar for them, that brass section was truly amazing! So LOUD and Beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
