The original design they derided as "cluttered" was superior IMO IMHO they planned on "figuring out" how to make the tramps work and never really found it. Great musical concept with a not so great visual design. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nsxanax Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Really glad you posted this. Since ‘13, this was the only Crown show I didn’t have the opportunity to see in person. We bought the Memphis PPV event, watched it live, and I’ve listened to a recording of it many times, on an mp3 I made. Sandwiched between ‘13 and ‘15, I believe OOTW has always gotten short shrift among Crown faithful. That show told a great story and the technical challenges of the brass book still blow me away. While an unabashed Crown honk, I must admit “Tilt” was my fave in ‘14 and I’ll concede that the Fellini thing probably rated gold. But Crown put on a heck of a show that season, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OOTW is one of my favorite "modern" Crown brass books. They did a great job creating music that was greater than the sum of its parts.

What a wonderful life lesson to impart as part of the drum corps experience. It's good to see the initiative continuing to grow! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hornline is sounding great for November. Bet it will sound even better in December with people practicing at home for spots; myself included! Saw great things from perc and guard too! The new visual staff: Wow. I know all I've got to compare is Music City experience, but dang. The instruction was concise, and VERY efficient. I've never been taught how to march straight leg so easily and relaxed. Same can be said on posture. Excited for December camp! Edit: I've made the line! I'm incredibly excited and will tell y'all now you guys are in for an awesome year from Crown. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
