I hope they recruit her for more shows in the future. I was just wondering in a thread earlier this season if anyone had been at a show with a woman announcer cause I couldn't think of one. I'm enjoying the fellow doing Open Class tonight, plenty of energy and hype. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom56 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Brandt is over 80 years old. I noticed last year at Indy his voice started getting hoarse towards the end of the evenings. Love him-- he is a DCI legend. But time does march on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drumcorpsfever Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Really, that bad? I hope not. I love hearing Brandt Crocker’s voice. It’s drum corps to me. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant to comment on it last night and forgot with the typhoon distracting me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care if he's not perfect. Imagine you're a drum major with a name that gets butchered during your only finals performance as drum major. Imagine you're the Colts whose show title gets "La Meeeer'd" during (potentially) your first finals performance in 15 years. Imagine your corps has a fairly well-timed intro that requires a relatively timely announcement that isn't performed properly and thus throws off some effect (e.g., Bloo director was pretty upset about it in 2019 or 2021, I can't remember which).

Hrothgar15 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Fifty years of announcing is an incredible accomplishment. That’s the only thing we should be focusing on in this thread. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
