DCI Southwestern Championship (San Antonio) - Saturday, July 20, 2019


Recommended Posts

Carolina Crown

 
I’m so bummed that I’ve got tickets for finals in the front and on side 1 and Crown Brass has that opening impact on side 2! 😞
 
So glad to hear the improvements in their brass sound from last year. I feel like last year was a huge oof from a show design standpoint and this year, they just missed the mark. That’s an improvement to me! I’m usually not a Crown fan in the slightest, but there are a lot of things to like about this show. The music is enjoyable and played at such a high caliber. I enjoy that the majority of this show doesn’t sound like a Crown show and they got a bit more out of their realm. I’d love to see that continue!
 
I honestly feel like this show is ahead of last year in every way (except maybe percussion). I can’t imagine being a Crown fan and losing that design team. I couldn’t be as patient as them for everything to click, after being a medalist corps for so long. I am continually impressed with their technical ability. They’re ready to medal, they just need the right show package. I’m sure they’ll hit gold soon (but I don’t think they will this year).
 
Kudos to these performers. While they aren’t going to compete for a title without a different show, these performers do an incredible job performing their show. Their cleanliness deserves to be rewarded a little more than it is, in my opinion. I also love the variety that this show gives us throughout. I feel like they were a little bit limited visually with the front ensemble all but eliminating side 1, but they did a good job with that in mind.

Did Crown get rid of the see through tops? I missed the first half of their show

They remove headgear and jackets during the ballad.

Alright, someone suggested a Crown to Crown drill for the closer.  I'd agree, that'd work wonderfully. 

Been saying it since the beginning!

They take them off in the ballad.

Crown shows that yes you can do demanding drill and demanding music at the same time.
