Generally +/-1k miles in a day. By comparison, your feat kinda crushes that🏟 BTW, was last @ GN’s in 2001, back in the RCA Dome era. Good chance I’ll make my first return this November. My actuarial clock isn’t likely to allow another 18 year hiatus☹️ I marched in 2003 at the old RCA dome. Place scared me. I was always waiting for the balloon to pop. Lmao. The Oil Can was a whole different ballgame in 2015. I'm hoping to return within the next few years. Last year would've been one hell of a year to go. So many good shows! Also, I grew up on the back of a motorcycle, so maybe that helped. Lol. We would travel all over Kentucky in a day. Can't count how many trips we made around the state every summer. Lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it goes w/o saying that part of your post rather screamed at me. If—and I emphasize, IF—last night was Crown’s last, great run of ‘19, then it came at the perfect moment. But the non-lizard part of my brain knows that anything Crown does, or any other corps on the field for that matter, has absolutely no correlation to what’s buzzing around in my suspect, cerebral cortex. The staff & MM’s have taken a show that has been under fire from pretty much the get-go, and through sheer force of will have managed to sell it. There have been times that it felt very much like an ‘18 redux season: a show that was always just a tweak or small adjustment away from breaking out in a big way, to both non-Crownies & adjudicators. That, unfortunately, never happened. And while their final placement might eventually mirror ‘18, I believe this year’s production will be long remembered fondly in CrownLAND. Although this type of drill might have fallen out of favor for the moment, CC has shown that it is by no means dead. And, as always, Go CROWN! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This show design is leaps and bounds better than last year to me! They're going to be great! Go Crown!!! 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That run last night just convinces me more that the new Crown team will get there and there is still a place for good marching and playing at the same time .... without relying on creating a totally synthetic backdrop (literally)that a little playing and marching is placed in front of (figuratively) .. To all the corps good luck .. I like some shows more than others but .. we shall see. If it ain’t Crown go Devils !! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MusicManNJ Posted August 5, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) Remember that time when everyone was coming onto this thread to talk about how it was too bad that Crown was looking like a sixth place corps... or the time they said what do you want 5th place and Ott or 3rd place... yea? Me too. And guess what. We are not going to have that talk here any more. That is one big fat hairy number tonight. They have forced their way into the conversation not just for a medal... but for ANY medal. Yes... they are a long shot to win but I would not put it past this group (as I have said all year) to rise to the occasion. Bravo Crown... now do it again tomorrow and you have set the table for Championships! Holy Moly! oh and... GO CROWN!!!
