He locks eyes with the crowd during the first rock and then when everyone takes off to move to the second one, he keeps eye contact with the audience a few extra seconds before turning his head. Carefully considered details like that are why their shows communicate soooooo strongly. #sorrynotsorry But I felt like the brass players communicated and sold the show more than the guard did. TBH I've barely noticed their guard the last two years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same can be said for the Blue Devils as they musically sound the same every year as well. Edited August 5, 2017 by B-Flat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The need someone who can write a show that doesn't sound like every other show they've done for a lot of years. " This sounds like the Blue Devils to me; the same 'ole sound every year. Carolina Crown's brass sounds wonderful and performs at a high level every year. Why must we beat down the competition? It's like saying the Blue Devils march the best every year.... Or, I guess are the cleanest every year. Why so much bashing? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have no weaknesses in any area.... they're gonna be tough to top in Indy, imo. And yet they never peak? How is that ? :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sense they'll decide when to add based on point-spread with SCV next meeting. I sense that SCV will do the same for their next addition.
