jwillis35 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Just saw another video of Crown. I am starting to really like this program. As before, I love the first 2 minutes. Fantastic power and staging, and you gotta love a strong Bach opening. I remain somewhat confused by the transition from Bach and then what sounds like William Walton (not sure) to the musical theater style ballad. However, I really love the ballad and the singing is wonderful. The brass is playing some nice stuff behind the singer and it's balanced well. The second half of the show feels more musical theater to me, but at times the singer also reminds me of Bjork with her vocal inflections and contemporary style. Crown is really cleaning and polishing, so as they add and layer new ideas onto this show they should be in a good position to score well. Definitely starting to think it has top 3 potential. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brassdude6171 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Easily my favorite uniform that I've seen from Crown and all of DCI in 2017 (with eyes out still for Stars, Cadets, SCV, BD, and Bloo). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortAndFast Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I really like the uniforms. They kind of have a BD vibe to them, but definitely still Crown and still a uniform rather than a costume. The show itself ... seems a few steps back from where Crown started the past few years. It's much harder to see the overall storyline/shape to the show, and it seems to want for much more GE. I don't object to the vocalist per-se, but they need to re-think how much she is used. She's fine as a singer, but not nearly compelling enough to be featured for like 5 minutes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeN Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Had no idea the jackets were purple until I saw the pics in the light - on the videos, it looks like black and silver. Very nice! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris7997 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Ok, what do people think? Does Crown have a chance to win this year with this show? If it's light on GE, is that going to hurt them (esp. going up against hyper-GE Bluecoats?) Let's get real here...what is this show likely to place?

Can’t say, too early They look to be cleaner at this point than others I’ve seen, including BD so that bodes well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
