But my god what a start. Oh, absolutely - such a great kickoff! it's still in my rotation. The first half of the show through Danzon is awesome - for me it lost steam in the back half, and they never could quite nail the ending. Can't deny the brass talent they had though.

I nearly ran over Sandra when I was in 27. I had to scream so she got out of the way. I think she ticked me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two are necessary, three are good, four are great. As for BD doing it best … *wink.* Edited April 22, 2022 by Jurassic Lancer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They fought brass timing errors due to ridiculous staging the entire season. They never did get everything fixed. And the fixes that were put in were more like small bandaids. The potential of that show early season was frightening. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crownisking Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 There are ten snares at Crown’s camp this weekend. I sure hope that doesn’t come back to bite them like it did with Boston a few years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reduction to 9 snares was one of the better moves corps made years ago. It's amazing how much easier it is to listen center with one less snare. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sholeo Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Did anybody go to April Camp and is willing to tell us their thoughts? I also saw that they switched to Evans heads... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show-wise this seems like an entirely new approach for Crown. We'll see if they can pull it off. Will NOT be an easy task. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a fair number that left before full ensemble to catch flights but there were still several out the entire weekend apparently. I think they have a handful of open positions too - maybe a half dozen or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
