If Crown had a stronger show design, the corps AND THEIR PERCUSSION would have benefitted...you can't answer every design question with "needs more fabric." That stated...I don't think they would have replaced any of the top 3 this year. I agree that this is a weird year to make a change. A change could've been argued for several of the seasons in the last decade, but not necessarily 2022. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old skool drmmr Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 According to my sources, the impetus here was that Hannum decided to retire. And rather than promote Travis and his guys, they apparently decided to move on entirely. Probably to get someone with more of a big name. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see any corps show design being that drastically different since then. They left the same time Bluecoats changed the activity. I don't see how you dont see show design changes since then. Electronic, movement based, choregraphed body, and less militaristic uniforms being done more than marching and playing. I dont have a problem with either but since 2016 we have definitely changed.

Compared to the caption heads and arrangers in corps ahead of Crown, Travis is young. Someday, I expect he will be the next Rennick or McNutt. I hope he gets that chance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is from a non Facebook person. Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong. I think they had the people in mind, just hammering out details, though until the ink is signed things can always fall through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluecoats yes. They found their niche and unique voice. Boston changed their programming when they brought in a whole new staff. Otherwise musical design and composition seems pretty similar for most groups, just more costumes and less band uniforms. To me, theatrical presentation is a visual change but groups still present their music packages the same way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kids in PR liked the PC "Into the void" show. I gave a few of the kids Pacific Crest show shirts and they were highly desired by their friends. I think the most of the kids in the Regiment would be thrilled to see that show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They never surpassed 4th in Indy and this is the first year they’ve ever reached that echelon. I’d like to see more consistency before declaring them in that bubble. Their front ensemble writing remains a weakness holding them back edit: I should add weakness is relative. All of the top 6 or so corps in percussion are very strong in general Edited September 9, 2022 by Cappybara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
