nsxanax Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 This is more than I usually contribute to “next year’s” thread this early in, but there was question I was itching to pose all during this recent season. Felt it wasn’t right then, but definitely legit for ‘24. Putting aside the monetary component [just for the sake of initiating a discussion], what are CrownLAND’s thoughts on commencing the ‘24 tour on the west coast. Moreover, is their any believe/opinion that strategy contributed to Crown’s success in ‘13? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check this out.......... 2008 Phantom started out west. 2011 Cadets started out west. 2013 Crown started out west. 2016 Bluecoats did NOT start out west. 2018 SCV started out west. But they normally do anyways. So four of the last five to beat BD started their tour in California. Coincidence?? 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting that early read on how you compare against the corps to beat is a really big deal. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KVG_DC Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 I think it's a good move for East corps to do from time to time if only to grow the fan base and such. Cavaliers tour west a few years back was extremely well received by audiences and the MM's probably liked the adventure too 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In many DMs I've discussed this and thought it would be a great move for them to try and pull off. Only if they can survive it financially. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that if they are in the same boat as 22 I would hold off on doing a west coast tour for a little bit. Not saying they are hurting really badly where anyone needs to be worried. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewArpege Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 (edited) Jumping in late on suggestions. Denouement (from The Invisible Man)" by Benjamin Wallfisch is a must consider for Crown. It’s got building chords comparable to Adagio for Strings. Listen from 1:40 forward and you’ll get the vibe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-aH9kDKVBY Edited August 18, 2023 by NewArpege 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
