Was it just me or were there a few awkward edits? 

The program was designed to be edited for the Indy Broadcast.  I'm assuming there's material we did NOT see that serves to connect the pieces.  The live program was the content without any editing.   Also the breaks served as a convenient time to get an "ask" in for the fundraising.

The show was designed in segments to: a) place interviews between movements and b) allow for significant changes in setup between movements.  Someone also mentioned to allow for breaks due to physical conditioning but unless that statement is from a member or staff, I don’t think it’s correct.  Conditioning may have been a little lacking at the beginning but they certainly could have handled the show straight at this point.  The breaks probably actually made it harder- at least that’s the vibe I got from a couple members.

Updated thoughts on the show after being there in person and watching the film:

  • They fixed their soft spots (visual design and color guard)
  • There strengths are just as good if not better than before (brass / percussion)
  • They have an incredible educational staff
  • They positioned themselves very strongly for the 2022 season.  Auditions start August 1st (well before the others)
  • They have what it takes to design a show that will medal or win it all
  • They made the alumni very proud of the organization
  • They re-introduced the world to DCI masterfully 
  • They have room to grow on what they did this year in the future

All in all, I loved the performance and am happy the members had a fantastic experience. 

-Go Crown!

I was blown away with the whole performance. The design is wonderful, the music is uplifting, and it's just nice to see a live drum corps performing even if I was not there. Top flight in my book. Bravo to everyone with Crown on what should be an excellent, fun, and spirited show that I believe most people will enjoy. Brass and percussion were pretty sweet, and wow did I love the guard.

Loving any kind of a drum corps season we can get for 2021 and Carolina "kicked" it off with style and precision.

For those who missed the FLO stream of Crown on Saturday, it was recorded and posted by DCI Garage Band and was posted in links from his post on youtube;

The video "crown2021.mov (1.4G)" is superb HD quality and very close to the original FLO live stream.

My overall reaction to the show as a drum corps fan was;
1) I loved the use of minimal tarps up front where they should be and the corps proper using simple low key props.
2) Totally loved a 60 member guard, their uniforms, their routine; all added to the visual presentation. (IMO) the "Guard" is the section that creates Movement, Color & Special Effects for the entire performance.
3) Music book was challenging and if you look at the youtube: the Carolina Crown 2021 | In My Mind | BRASS TRANSCRIPTION | PARTS 1&2 by Ian Bruns Music at:

Carolina Crown's Hornline is in the midst of a Dynasty - not placing lower than 2nd place in DCI Finals between 2011 - 2019.

How did they do it?  
In 2003, Carolina Crown hired both Michael Klesch (brass aranger) and Matt Harloff (brass caption head). 
In the video, all scores are out of 20 points.  All scores are from DCI finals only.
