Year after year, just a consistently glorious line. it's really too bad that those kids can't go to other venues. it would be fun to take them to a brass band championship (and before you roll your eyes, you should recall what B. Moren had to say -- just sayin') . it's been a long time since corps were "local" so those sorts of off-season things are pretty hard to arrange (ie their trip to Japan). but that brass program really is pretty astounding.

The days of local drum corps have sailed a long time ago. Surprised they don't participate in a Winter WGI program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corpsband Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Very sad that these days are gone. While Nazareth HS is nice and all, staying at Trexler and rehearsing at the park were special. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corpsband Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 So much fun to just listen -- never mind watching the physical demand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The physical demand is there for most of the WC corps at this point. Used to be more of a Cadet thing years ago but demand, multiple responsibilities is pretty significant in DCI.

As to whether "most of the WC corps" do what Crown does...that's a tale for another time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaviesFan17 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Crown still holds the record for being the only brass line to actually make me shed a few tears. E=MC2 ballad (being the first time) and the opening hit of Relentless. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Crown 2013, man the source is just gorgeous.. Edited March 4, 2017 by corpsband 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Dixon Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 ^ thanks for sharing that - I've heard it - but not in many years. They did a great job adapting it, and the original IS fantastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
