Quite persuasive lol I'm not the one calling Crown, a corps that hasn't had any reason to worry yet, a design disaster. Realistically, they will be fine and not the dumpster fire all of you pretend they are right now. Yes, you are an idiot if you think that the show should be criticized this heavily at this stage of the game. Come back to me in August when they're in the top 2 and you'll probably still be whining about how horrible it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I stated in the post you quoted that they're performing the book really well. It's a technically proficient and difficult book (that's exactly what im arguing) they've been given but to me, it's demand for the sake of demand and has sacrificed all musical phrasing and flow because of it. It's a difficult and boring book that loses me. Very much agree! Overall, I find 2017 music arrangements MUCH less pleasing than during 2016. There does seem to be a move to "out-technique" everyone. It all comes at the expense of flow, as you say. It's bit and pieces for the sake of complexity, I guess. Some of this will appeal JUST to trained audience ears. Some of the books have every number sounding too much the same. Very little to "latch on to" in an enduring way. Just random, well-played, but incohesive, measures. Not a favorite music year for me. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, I think there's something out there for everyone, even within the shows with some technical spots. Lots of diversity and lots to enjoy. Edited July 1, 2017 by Kevin.

I swear I could hear space between the sixteenth notes, they were that clean. Next year, I still enjoyed the arpeggios. Now, four years after their championship, the brass runs come and I just sort of roll my eyes. It just doesn't have that new and shiny impact with me anymore. I am not anti Crown, BTW. I went nuts when they won in 2013. I was pulling for them to win with Inferno. But, I am not buying what they are selling this year (although I do love jevtge Bach opener). I wish I was and maybe that will come, but not so far. I understand. And the season is still new -- who knows what will happen? (DCP knows and sees all. LOL!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theyre talking about their personal enjoyment of the show not necessarily its competitive value. You can't force people to like a show they don't but its fine if you do. I quite enjoy what Crown has this year. You can't get in a fuss every time the world doesn't agree with you. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
