Popular Post Newseditor44 Posted June 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 21, 2022 (edited) Went to GW tonight for the final time this season, and experienced something I’ve never experienced before in drum corps. Crown is adding a special “something” that will allow everyone in the stadium to participate in the show. I won’t spoil the surprise, but I assume you’ll get to hear about it this weekend. Hint, be sure to have your phone on you. I was blown away when I saw what they were going to do! People will be talking about the 4th movement of this show for a very long time. The build up to the end will have people on their feet. This show might not win, but it sure is going to be a lot of fun to watch! In the past there have been suggestions that Crown left a lot to be desired in terms of adding color to the field. That won’t be the case this season. By the time you get to the fourth movement, the field will explode in color. Color guard - I watched them specifically tonight and it’s by far Crown’s best guard in ages. 50 guard members on the field is absolutely amazing! And the talent level is greatly improved. They have the potential to be a top 3 unit! The corps is still only halfway through the last (5th) movement but I was told they’re learning the last few sets tomorrow and Wednesday. Still no Crown set this season, but honestly I don’t think they need one. But I wouldn’t be surprised to see it at the end of the show. The staff is taking their time teaching the show, which feels different than years past. There are far more layers to this show than in the past five or six seasons. And the hornlike is going to need to build up some stamina because the closer is one of those pieces that just keeps building, and building, and building some more. That’s it for ST for me. Next time I see them will be in a few weeks in Columbia. Thanks again for another great ST Crown! Enjoy the preview this weekend y’all! PS - don’t read into the fact that they are just now reaching the last few sets. They’re not behind by any stretch - this show is intricate and layered that this is most likely the best approach.

It’s my understanding they were all contracted by January camp and so have been able to work on stuff all winter. I think I read about 80% also did WGI so that helped develop their skills too. There’s at least a couple really difficult guard moments in there for sure! 6 hours ago, Newseditor44 said: And the hornlike is going to need to build up some stamina because the closer is one of those pieces that just keeps building, and building, and building some more. It’s balls-to-the-wall! The drumline needs some real chops too to maintain tempo through that movement. As you mentioned, there’s a whole lot happening on the field. You have to watch several times to catch everything going on. Hope that doesn’t become a detriment. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmurrey74 Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Just watched the video. Definitely a lot going on and still rough (It's June) in areas, but wow. If they can clean it up, this could contend again. Love the closer so far! No shortage of notes in this show! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
