I was a little surprised the gap with BAC increased in the show I was at in KY. As much as I love Crown, BAC has taken their show to a whole new level from the early season. Now, tonight, it's 2.6 and a very strong GE score. The good news, we will all be able to see them on the same field beginning tomorrow and then we can toss much of the conjecture out the window! And what's even more encouraging - their run last night in Arkansas was not that great. Phasing and timing issues, not very strong. Felt like the kids were a bit tired. Let's see if they can pick it up here tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm as big a fan of Crown as anyone (2008, 2009, and 2013 are some of my favorite shows), but I'm also not afraid to call a spade a spade and call out problems when I see them. I'll also call out Spirit of Atlanta and the Bluecoats when they have problems, even though I performed with those groups, because that's what it means to be critical fan instead of a blind fanatic. Here is my criteria: Things I care about: Does the theme, music and visual content connect with me? Do I like the music? Are there moments that make me want to stand up and scream my lungs out? Do I get a lump in my throat and goosebumps? Did the horn line successfully blow my face off Things I could care less about or will turn me off in a second: Art Having to read a three page description of the theme of the show, then having to reflect on said theme prior to watching the show More art Shows with more than three scatter drills Props that look like birthday cakes Artsy fartsy shows 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would just add one: Are the outfits worn by the performers respectful of them as persons or more revealing that the designer has had some drug or drink induced fantasy?

I feel like that "You had one job" meme. If you are a show designer and you have no show concept, why are you designing shows? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
