skevinp Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I love Crown, but sometimes I feel like there shows can be interpreted as making them better than everyone.07-- Winning the Horse race 08-- Having the best endings, being the Finale 09-- Start Crown, go Cavaliers (green...some hyperbole of bent leg technique, rainbow), but realize Crown is better 10-- Second chance at winning Not saying that this is what their shows are about, but they can be interpreted that way. Don't forget 96, when they won the chess game. And 99, which suggested that beneath their non-threatening Dr. Jekyll like demeanor lurked a Mr. Hide poised to destroy everyone else. Or 03, in which clearly they were saying the bell tolled for all the other corps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skywhopper Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Or 04 when they sang "nothing really matters" what you *couldn't* hear over the applause was the drum major singing "except winning". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skywhopper Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 In Phantom 08, the stabbed drum major represented the Blue Devils. In Madison 95, the boxes the guard was dancing on each had the name of a competing corps engraved on the top. In Cavies 10, the rifle sight set was clearly pointed at the Blue Devils. In SCV 89, the disappearing Phantom represented the hopes and dreams of all the members of competing corps. In Boston 09, the apple being bitten into is actually the heart of Dan Acheson. In Cadets 91, the kid who can't find a girlfriend is a diss at Will Cook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Jekyll (or good) represented our 6th place guard that year, and our Paul Rennick drumline and our slightly improved brass section over the previous 2 seasons. Mr. Hyde (or evil) represented our non-ability to march or clean drill. You guys read way too much into things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarrenE Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I like how everybody trying to debate me on this does nothing but set up straw man arguments and then knock them down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because straw will at least stand up if you lean it on something, whereas your own arguments were as flimsy as noodles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjeffeory Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Or they could open with Nielsen Symphony No. 3... (turn this up LOOOOOUD!) They could morph into whatever they want...but the could (should) come back to this amazing work for a classic old-school cyclic reentry - Sounds good. Could be interesting on the field.
