Horn-for-horn, Crown is loud enough (and was loudest in 2016 in opinion) - contrary to your statement above. Take the electronic boosts away from the other 2 corps you mention and the sound would have been much different on a recording. Crown’s brass is unique with that signature sound that balances volume with utter lushness. Pound for pound, as loud as any corps of the there. yeah....I relistened to the 2016 recordings again and actually isolated the different elements and it the graphics show Crown is louder than the other too...like you said...take out the boosts and there it is. Crown became my corps the moment I heard them from a youtube video in 2012....tbh...I had drifted away from dci for a few years because of work but since I listened to them again I fell back in love with the activity....and Crown's 2012 brass line just sold it right off the bat. I listened to them a lot...that summer I lost my mom to cancer and it was such a relief to listen to Crown while I was working...took my mind off the horrible events and sounds of the hospital room. No other corps could really move me like Crown did and still does. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karuna Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Guessing they'll have 3 camps again. MFA / Muncie, somewhere between Mason and CrownBeat, and then at Kennesaw after Statesboro. Would not surprise me to see three days in Dayton 8/7-8/9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s also smart that they are once again doing all three Dallas area shows and the Houston show. Texas is a goldmine for talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCIFan2022 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Hello! Has anyone been to the December camp? I've seen that many got their 2023 contracts there!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crownisking Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Speaking of December Camp: do they even still play show music at camps this early? It’s been so long since I’ve been to one, I wouldn’t be too surprised if the format has changed over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the groups were given & played through the first 1-2 minutes of their horn book. The percussion are still working on fundamentals. (Variations of "8 on a hand" anyone?) 😂 Edited December 21, 2022 by keystone3ply cx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the players are talented from wherever they come from. They just need to learn to play the same way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
