Loving the  Changes

Carolina Crown
- fantastic intro, so metered and slow growing
- brass is so full of control and the build to the first big hit is perfection
- visual program is really cleaning up. from the high cam the intervals look much much better
- love those vocal effects they present with some excellent front ensemble writing
- brass is really playing one touch book and I find the music very melodic with fantastic builds and development. It's impeccable scoring. 
- what can you say about Carolina playing Tristan und Isolde in the middle of their program? Perfection, daring, gorgeous? All of the above. So much control. 
- This brass line is beginning to clean a really good book
- again, I think the visual program is cleaning nicely. Most things are really well staged. 
- like some of the new vocal audio that only cuts in for a few seconds but really works with the majestic nature of Camelot. 
- Closer still needs the most cleaning but I still have goosebumps from watching it
- the whole show is fabulous, top to bottom. How far can it go? I think that is entirely up to Crown and their staff. There is plenty of meat and musicality and nuance to make this thing fly come Finals. Keep cleaning the visual. I heard some new music in spots, mostly just tweaks, but I am in love with this show musically and I don't think visual is that far behind.

Why did they censor "GRAIL"?

That’s the obligatory criteria this year, having a female vocal at the beginning of a show how many corps have it 20 30?  😊

I don't mind the vocals in the beginning and during the transitions, but that one addition over the horn line doesn't work,.

did I miss it posted earlier...but where was the upper table that splits into two at the ballad?

I still say that they’re setting up the ending to use the pizza slices as the points on the crown.

Can we please stop calling them a pizza it makes me hungry every time 😭 Although with the yellow guard uniforms I’m getting a pineapple vibe and I don’t want that

I’m speculating here but I think it’s been removed from the show. I’m actually not mad about it, if I’m being honest.

What is the illness that is wreaking havoc on corps this summer???? And has anyone seen the witch from that BAC show lately? This feels like her handiwork. 

Well, Phantom Regiment has seemed suspiciously healthy, and their 2013 witch has a lot of payback to dole out for what people said about her that summer.
