bluesman Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I've been a huge Crown wonk since 2002, but this years show is a swing and a miss. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quijeros Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Two things I never noticed about Crown's ballad: All the high brass up front are females Everyone else that's not a contra is on trombone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordsterr Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 This horn line is just remarkable. And that ballad with all the women up front is the highlight of the season for me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRacer Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Is the all female/all long hair small ensemble up front intentional? Soothing the savage beast? Just asking! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally don’t think Jeff drill approach fits them as well, they are more theatrical and he is more symphonic and percussive. The props are probably the biggest issue imo with the program. I really like is musically ballad onward The props do nothing for the show at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just the usual suspects. I ignore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Field is split between Male horns and guard and female horns and guard. I'd say it's about a mating ritual by the beast showing a soft side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I don't think his drill suits the style and attitude of this year's show. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
