It's just a bit more internal to whatever corps / guard / drumline they're marching with. Plenty of people checking ranking sites to see where they stack up.

As for Crown 2013, man the source is just gorgeous.. It was indeed. That whole soundtrack is beautiful. Silvestri is good at touching heartstrings. Great movie, too, except for the last 10 minutes.

Maybe there's a director's cut that I've never seen, but the theater version ended with them all getting raised to the surface by the alients, and the main guy hugging the main girl. That's it. It was really lame after everything else, which I thought was pretty spectacular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway -- the giant ship coming up -- no one has decompression sickness. Navy ships all sitting on the ship. Agree -- after all that great setup it was kind of a lame ending. No closure Having now looked to see if there was a directors cut, apparently there was one that extended the ending. Guess I'll have to go find that.

Lance Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 yeah, i was wondering if you were thinking of contact. i actually liked that ending. anyway, gotta admit that i'm getting a little antsy about crown. one of the few corps that i can listen to source music and get an idea of what the brass book will actually sound like nowadays.

corpsband Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 (edited) another great arrangement of a ballad. Klesch gets every bit of emotion that you hear in the original. Edited March 6, 2017 by corpsband 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ibexpercussion Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Everybody always talks about Crown's brass, for obvious reasons, but I feel like the percussion, battery especially, took a step in the right direction lat year. Not that they had been terrible, but closing the gap a bit more between them, and the upper echelon lines (BD, Coats, SCV, Cadets). The front started to sound better last year as well, as I believe the departure of Andrew Markworth to Crossmen hurt them in both composition and performance in regards to the front. that being said, I think last year was a positive year in starting to close that gap.

Lots of vets back in all sections of the percussion (especially battery) and from the sounds of the first 3 camps, seem very strong for this time of year.
