corpsband Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 (edited) Judging by the reaction of the crowd at the end of the performance, the DCI East audience seemed to think they liked Crown's show (ending and all). Guess they (and the judges who saw fit to have them 0.4 from the lead) might have a thing or two to learn from the never ending font of wisdom that is DCP.

drumcorpsfever Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Anyone complaining about the new ending should have been here a few weeks ago to shut up all the people saying that "some people might be offended by the gun violence". “You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time”. Either way, Crown blows 'em all away with that awesome brass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auldschool Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you cant please all of the people all of the time. Either way, Crown blows 'em all away with that awesome brass! Awesome brass AND percussion. Those guys are playing as clean as anyone...yes including Coats, BD, Cadets and SCV. And the book is musical...not just a bunch of notes written like a WGI book. It's refreshing to hear...they know how to enhance the brass book instead of competing with it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D41145 Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I'm still surprised they couldn't get any higher than 6th. That show should've been competing with Phantom for 4th. Honestly, would've put Phantom higher than 4th. Most underrated show in Regiment's history I do believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTNK Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I want them to do a full-on steampunk show next year. Go big on the props and costumes, take some electronic cues from Bluecoats, take some visual ideas from Metropolis... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cappybara Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 How did Crown fall off the front page? Fans need to be talking up this show. Can I just have a show of hands also of the people who dislike the new ending, yet have only seen it online? If you've seen it live and don't like it then I'll just disagree. Why do folks still want to see revenge? Crown is trying to make a statement here. That you can be relentless in your pursuit yet show compassion and love and be will to throw down your guns and forgive. This ending is brilliant in its profound simplicity. It seems too many folks go by the "eye for an eye" rule. If people aren't understanding what Crown is doing, they're simply trying too hard to not understand it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm simply saying that this is a great show...enjoy it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hah, I was blasted for even acknowledging that some might be offended by the gun violence and that I could see why Crown might want to tone it down.

kdaddy Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Periodically checking Crown's facebook page and various news items, I conclude: - the unis are some of the best in DCI history - the photographer is fantastic - Crown takes social media and marketing seriously, and I applaud them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
