CrownMom081112 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 At the 11:30 mark, a horn player comes out and balances the metal cube on their forehead. Ouch! He is good at this! My son showed me a pic of him balancing an 8 ft ladder on his chin. Must be some Superhuman strength in that chin! :) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be some Superhuman strength in that chin! :) Is he one of the three soloists in the opening movement? At the beginning of the season, before the trumpet soloist up front started catching the rifle toss, he was balancing the rifle on his chin.

JamMan Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Its actually on his chin, not his forehead. So it's a circus show now? Thank you Mr. Dixon. Nothing Crown will do to this show means ANYTHING unless they are able to get it clean by finals. It doesn't matter how hard it is or what the potential is when you get to finals week. It only matters how clean the show is and is it performed well. BD and Cadets are masters at this. We'll see in the coming weeks. If Crown's score doesn't increase at the same rate, they've written the show too hard. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin. Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Not a bad score for Crown tonight despite the transition to a new closer. Great job guys! Looking forward to tomorrow! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to tell on the video sometimes but it seemed it might have been a somewhat flat performance. Very excited to see what happens tomorrow night in the dome !

Cron Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Hard to tell on the video sometimes but it seemed it might have been a somewhat flat performance. Very excited to see what happens tomorrow night in the dome ! Yeah, I noticed as well. The energy seemed a little low and the new closer is not yet up to snuff. You could almost feel a certain level of uncertainty from the members with the changes. It will get better for sure. Learning and cleaning simultaneously is possible to a degree, but the drill needs to be on complete autopilot before the cleaning really happens. The dome should be a nice change for all corps tonight. A chance to perform in climate control amidst the crazy hot Texas rehearsals.

Highwaydude Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 NEW opener flags look much better ... good job all the way around last night! Noticed that too! Love the pop in color. Now they just need to concentrate on cleaning the changes to the ending. I also noticed a few added chords here and there thru out the show. Can't wait till next weekend in Atlanta! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just keep working the show and good things are gonna happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
