Which is BS .. DCI even states Allentown is judged as one event. Let’s get Crown and BAC into Gold and Silver… or vice versa. But that would be an epic throw the baby moment. Given the scoring lately who the heck knows.  I’m expecting big numbers for Bloo and BAC tonight .. 🤡 Edited August 7, 2023 by BWise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe 3-4 days of dedicated rehearsal is exactly what they need to tighten everything up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drumcorpsfever Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 I may be late to the party, but congrats to Crown for having the 2nd highest percussion score over the 2 days at Allentown. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s weird .. the closer .. just isn’t clean .. and it’s not getting cleaner. I’ve seen it since Atlanta .. and perc.  ?!? Guard is inconsistent. I’m not beating up on them they are undefeated .. but they’re getting chased pretty hard. Again atypical. Usually this is when they put the Blue Devil into high gear and sprint to gold. I don’t see that this year.  of course I’d prefer Crown 👑 take it all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeRapp Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Is there anything like the Crown set? In anything? So iconic, doesn’t matter if you know it’s coming, if you’ve already seen it a hundred times…it always always makes me cheer! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwillis35 Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 I was at the Pittsburgh show last night and Carolina Crown was in top form. We were wowed with the show. It is so much cleaner now from a visual perspective. The percussion line is really sounding good and their music is well written. Brass was so amazing...almost darn perfect to my ears. My girlfriend was dropping her jaw through most of the show. She is a choral educator. It's a real dogfight this year. Crown, BD, Bloo, and Boston could all win. Maybe we get a 4-way tie. Who knows, but seeing Crown live is so different from the streams. My heart was so happy to see Carolina in person (and BD too...they were spectacular as well). Crown's music book may be my favorite this summer. That is saying a lot too because I love BD's book, love Boston, and Cadets are thrilling. I wish I could go to Finals. This would be the year to go. I hope we get a repeat of this kind of competitive year next summer. Anyway, congrats Carolina Crown. You blew that crowd away last night. It was state-of-the art and I loved every second. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering we essentially have a four-horse race going into Indianapolis this weekend. Certainly seems we will have a "photo finish!"Â That ballad was, and still is, exquisite in my opinion! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denverjohn Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 OK. I have a typical cultural understanding of Camelot, Excalibur, etc. and I can enjoy a show based on casual references to Knights of the Round Table. However, Crown has intentionally introduced specific characters and I am still having trouble resolving their story line. I get King Arthur and the Sword in the Stone. I get Sir Lancelot and the hanky-panky with Queen Gweneviere. I am guessing about a Mordred character stabbing King Arthur. But after that the show seems to be about herald trumpets, battle imagery, power chords, and then King Arthur seems to recover and run back to his throne. I don't get it. Am I the only one? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
