Jeff Ream Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Agreed; but that's why I boldfaced your claim the "everyone" did it. "Many" isn't "everyone." EVERYONE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Ream Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Pre-Judging can do that. And the Jim Ott is only awarded on one night. Olive so was it prejudging for Phantoms percussion in 2010? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCISuperfan Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Actually the lack of visual demand in Crown's show this year was probably one of the largest reasons I didnt enjoy their show that much. The music was alright, I dunno.. Crown seemed off this year. Maybe it was the arrangements? Maybe the heavy emphasis on dance/pit involvement? I dunno it just didnt feel like drum corps to me. It felt like a completely different corps from last year or 2009. I just didnt like the direction Crown took this year. Not to say that they werent good, or didnt perform at a high level, I just didnt enjoy the direction that the corps headed in. I really hope they can go back to what they were in 2008, excellent drill with even more excellent brass sound. Finis was SUCH an amazing program... I get chills to this day every time I watch it on FN. Here's to hoping they take a few steps back and do what crown does best next year! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is so much more to visual demand than just running around the field at 200 bpm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SACMellos2010 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I personally enjoyed Crown's show and, in my opinion, that was the best hornline in DCI history. I felt their visual demand was very adequate and part of the visual that raised the demand on the hornline was how spread out they were. I do accept that they stood during the triple tonguing but please tell me of another line that had a triple tonguing passage much less to the degree Crown pulled it off. Anyways, I said it was just my opinion:) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways, I said it was just my opinion:) Seeing as how you're a star alum, i feel as though there is a great deal of bias in your opinion and i do agree that them standing still while playing it was a good idea. If they tried it on the move it probably wouldn't of been as clean. Which could've separated them from winning the Jim Ott, or receiving 2nd place.

Yes I do understand that, but dancing is not harder than running around a field at 200 BPM while playing unless you are doing some SERIOUS dancing at a professional level. I was refering to the dancing more as a u-turn from where the corps has been in the past more than it wasnt difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
