I can't remember what I said except "Maybe if you put as much effort on the field as you do making fun of your soon to be national champion your a**** wouldn't be sitting down tonight." 😅😅😅 Stuff like that would have never happened at my high school. I remember a specific time where we were all in the stands and one of freshmen just started laughing out loud in the middle of a performance. I was one of the drum majors that year and just a couple rows down from him. Before I even had a chance to turn around and act on it, both people next to him had their hands over his mouth and the section leader behind him was whispering in his ear with the most ###### off look I’ve ever seen out of her. After the performance, he got up and apologized to the parents around us for laughing during a performance. We might not win every contest (though we did win a lot lol) but we were never going to be THAT band in the stands. So bravo for speaking up! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised at basic guard work at this level. Props not integrated but pushed all over the field with little effect. Musically outstanding for sure, however easy to understand why this show won’t be medaling. I look at it quite differently .. well established CrownGuard is rebuilding .. well established the design/visual team is finding their way .. AND despite all the challenges they are still competing at a very solid 4th place .. to me says something pretty incredible about the corps.. Edited July 29, 2019 by BWise 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much pride seeing the Marine Drum and Bugle Corps. This Chief has a tear in his eye. What an honor!! One of the unique things about the ensemble (vs the other military ensembles): these guys have all been through basic AND advanced weapons. They are bad ### Marines -- not just professional musicians in uniform!  There are actually quite a few Crown guys in the unit.  6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your simultaneous marching and playing is more than DOUBLE the nearest corps tonight!!!!!!! 🤣 While I absolutely applaud Marines simultaneous responsibilities, Crown is definitely a runnin' and a gunnin'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
