corpsband Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 (edited) Regarding the soda talk, Sundrop is the beverage of choice in NC along with Cheerwine. ugh. cheerewine tried and failed. sundrop is good for mountain dew fans. more flavor actually. if you're gonna go for regional beverages, try Vernor's Ginger Ale or Birch Beer. both far superior (IMHO of course). (and no idea why i am perpetuating this OT tangent) Edited August 23, 2016 by corpsband 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobias Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 As long as the Harloff brothers and Michael Kleich remain at Crown, sa la vie to those leaving. Fresh design blood can be a positive change. But it's all about design not brass. Crown would be better off if brass team left and design/guard team remained (from a competitive standpoint). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKSuperman Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Just thought of another show Crown should do. In following suit with their darker shows the last few years... The Water Faye(Goblin) by Dvorak Based on the poem Kytice by Karel Jaromír Erben. From Wikipedia: A story in four parts of a mischievous water goblin who traps drowning souls in upturned teacups. A water goblin is sitting on a poplar by the lake, singing to the moon and sewing a green coat and red boots for his wedding soon to come. A mother tells her daughter of a dream she had about clothing her daughter in white robes swirling like foaming water and with pearls of tears hiding deep distress around her neck. She feels this dream was a presentiment and warns her daughter not to go to the lake. Despite the mother's warnings, the daughter is drawn to the lake as if possessed and leaves for the lake to do her laundry. The moment she hands down her first garment into the water, the bridge on which she was sitting collapses. As the water engulfs her she is abducted by the malevolent water goblin who lives there. He takes her to his underwater castle and marries her with black crayfish for the groomsmen and fishes for her bridesmaids. After the birth of their first child, the abducted wife sings it a lullaby, which enrages the water goblin. She tries to calm him down and pleads to be allowed ashore to visit her mother once. He gives in on three conditions: She is not to embrace a single soul, not even her mother; she has to leave the baby behind as a hostage; and she will return by the bells of the evening vespers. The reunion of mother and daughter is very sad but full of love. When evening falls the distraught mother keeps her daughter and forbids her to go even when the bells are ringing. The water goblin becomes angry, forsakes his lair in the lake and thumps on the door ordering the girl to go with him because his dinner has to be made. When the mother tells him to go away and eat whatever he has for dinner in his lair, he knocks again, saying his bed needs to be made. Again the mother tells him to leave them alone, after which the goblin says their child is hungry and crying. To this plea the mother tells him to bring the child to them. In a furious rage the goblin returns to the lake and through the shrieking storm screams that pierce the soul are heard. The storm ends with a loud crash that stirs up the mother and her daughter. When opening the door the mother finds a tiny head without a body and a tiny body without a head lying in their blood on the doorstep of her hut. Granted, the ending would probably have to be changed, but I think the music would make for a killer show! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumManTx Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I'm down for the Water Goblin, a high school here in Texas did it this past fall and I REALLY enjoyed it. Was mainly just the music, but that was very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
