MBo1974 Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Couple of things: The singing ... is it from a specific text? It fits really well into the fabric of the show. And I kinda feel like something is coming in between parts 4 and 5 for some continuity. It almost feels like both parts could be a big coda for the entire production.

He was watching purely for entertainment value, and after Crown performed, he said, "Now that show made sense, and they sounded great - best of the night." I think we often get caught up in details and it was refreshing to hear the wider perspective. This is a great product on the field for Crown - it's everything you expect from Crown and more and some new angles. I cannot wait to take him to NightBEAT with me and let him experience the face-melting first hand! It’s a show that is great listening to on stream, and will translate seamlessly with the live, in-person experience I’m imagining. Gonna be going to a show in a few weeks! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drumcorpsfever Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 1 hour ago, Sensioto said: Still trying to reconcile the words spoken too. I know in the opener it is lyrics from Björk's "Bachelorette": "I'm a tree that grows hearts One for each that you take You're the intruder hand I'm the branch that you break" And then in the ballad, it is lyrics from Björk's "All is Full of Love": "You'll be given love You'll be taken care of You'll be given love You have to trust it" I agree it sounds haunting and dramatic. Nice overlay. Wish it was a teensy bit clearer what is being said though, for poigniancy and the effect to stick. And I also agree on the transition between parts four and five. I know transitions often change the most throughout the season, but the building in part four is great, you have the huge brass and guard moment, and then a gentle descent into "Dido's Lament," and "Lacrimosa," but I feel like so much potential lies within! Not a fan of the voice-over before the ballad. Sounds off key to me. Too bad because the ballad is so beautiful. Also, the clarity of the voice-overs could be better. Still trying to understand what it all means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBugler Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 It's early, and it's dirty. I know it will clean up quickly. I should probably wait to say anything until it gets to that point, but I won't. Not that anyone gives a frog's fat ### about anything I have to say, but this show doesn't give me the feeling that it can be truly special, like other recent Crown shows have. There is a lot going on, and in the end I don't know that it can all be reconciled in a way that makes a lot of sense. This is one of the problems I have with "modern" drum corps. There's just too much happening at any given moment. It's electronically enhanced sensory overload, with no cohesive visual element to help tie things together. The purest moments of the production seemingly struggle to break free from the rest of the trappings and acrobatics, to the detriment of the audience. I get that I'm seemingly in the minority when it comes to opinions on modern show design. As a Crown charter member and former instructor, however, I can't help feeling more and more removed from what this thing has become. I know that every generation has felt the same, or similar, sentiments but it's just odd, experiencing that feeling for myself. I hope that I'm wrong and that it all comes together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerBaritone19 Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Not really sure what to expect from tonight, but if anything, I hope the scores are close and that Crown's subcaptions continue to be high. I would not be surprised with any placement from 1-3. It is just so hard to tell at this point. Have a great show tonight Crown! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crownisking Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Since I always let scores, placements and spreads stress me out, I’m going to try my very best to ignore all that tonight and just enjoy the show. I’m going to do my very best not to panic if Crown comes in 3rd tonight. Wishing the home team all the luck. First big show of the season! Get it Crown! 💜👑 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t anticipate anyone to dominate, 1’s across the board, that’s the only thing I can be certain of, I’m curious to see what the gaps are for each group though in between captions/subcaptions etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
