Those worried about the drum set, don't worry anymore. It is not overpowering, and with the drum line on fire already, I was too caught up in what they were doing to even look at the drum set. As for the brass, it was apparent it was just the December camp with some early entrances and some cracks, but overall I could see this being another Ott year. One thing is certain, they are loud this year. Very loud. They did play two parts of their show today. Not sure at all what the concept is, but it seems they have something interesting and new up their sleeves with a little bit of 2011 in there. Not Rach Star 2.0, but I heard some undertones of 2011 in there. Other than that, I have nothing else to report. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday everyone! And as always, go Crown! Based on what I’ve seen and heard, Crown is venturing into new waters this year, but not too far away from the concept of previous shows. The drum set fits with the direction of the show and at least two pieces of the source music. This will NOT be anything like Rach Star, but I can see where the comparison might be made. If anything, this show will follow the general direction of the past several seasons, however, I do think it will be much more fan friendly with some very recognizable and less than recognizable music. I don’t know all the details, but I think audiences will like this show. My hope for Crown in 2020 - please add more color to the field and if you’re going to use props, let’s spend a little on the design and development so they’re better integrated into the overall package. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already loving their new channel! Hopefully it doesn’t go quiet during marching season but I would totally understand if it did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadisonBandMan1 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Really wish Crown would do this piece- an original written by Seth E. Brown and performed by Cristopher Bill. It’s AMAZING. https://youtu.be/3A9m2wvFSMU 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure hope it finds its way to the field by some corps or elite HS band at some point in time👍 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadisonBandMan1 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 I know! It’s a special piece and I think it would be perfect for the field. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
