lifeisaround Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Trying to figure out how crowns staff is great with people like John Howell, Dereck, Jacquelin, Kate, and what not. An organization that SHOULD be competitive for a title does hires like these .... just comfusend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds a bit mushy, but I am so grateful for my high school band directors (of course I also had them in grade school too ). They gave me a love for music that I am not sure I could have gotten anywhere else- let alone what the idea of how hard work and dedication can impact your life.

BrassTeacher Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 On 10/6/2018 at 12:51 PM, HornTeacher said: Alternatively, I have seen groups being led by staffs who were relative unknowns...yet have enjoyed tremendous success due to the fact that they functioned cohesively and uniformly supportive to a very high level. Maybe a situation of "greater than the sum of its' parts." What is important is that each staff member knows his and/or her place in the organization, and fully trusts that each of the other staff members trusts all the others to be and act in the same manner. For the "collective good," I guess (how TERRIBLY COMMUNISTIC of me, I know!!). Sorry for the mini-lecture. Just my take on things... I think this describes the original staff of the Carolina Crown very well. Most of us were still there when the corps won the Div. II DCI World Championship in 1993, And a large portion of us were still there when the corps made DCI Finals the first time in 1995. If I remember correctly, the corps started out in 33rd place in 1990, then went 25, 25, 21, 17, 11. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ediker Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 On 10/6/2018 at 10:36 PM, Cadevilina Crown said: The last two shows have been on complete opposite sides of the spectrum. "It Is" was too deep and left me very confused, while "Beast" I felt was too one-dimensional and I got tired of the concept quickly. I hope the design team strikes a good balance between the two sides next year. A lot was right with both of those shows. Musically they were top notch. Coordinating the strong sections into a unified total package is what can put them back on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetiredMusTeach Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Finally starting to get some news from my home corps about staff. This looks exciting for the 2019 percussion people! https://musiccitydrumcorps.org/news/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corps8294 Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Any word from the Oregon Crusaders? That corps sounded like it was ready to completely fall apart after the season ended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
