I'm at Crown's ensemble right now. They sound fantastic with some expected early roughness. All I can say is they have a prop that is...SIGNIFICANT. Significant like Carmel 2018 or Cadets 2019? It is large, like 20+ feet tall, and they have nicknamed it Stanley.

Pacific Crest... very intriguing. Something about Kahlo's injury and lifelong struggles with pain and mobility? Heavy stuff for the field, but my interest is definitely piqued.

Although I really don't know what Michael gray was thinking with that one. But I will give Crown credit for giving us the storyboard, if they had one in 2022 it was pathetic

A percussive show from Phantom. I kind wish phantom would go esoteric like CTJ a decade ago vs what they’re doing now…
Their last few shows just haven’t been that memorable musically.

Meanwhile I to this day find myself humming parts of last year’s show lol. Best brass book they’ve had in years, imo.

Honestly staging reminds me of Nafo from this past year, large stage then some other props. Idk why Jeff is so much better at writing drill for Vandegrift than Crown, there is just nothing really that memorable from a visual standpoint - kinda like last year. Infact, they seem to have pulled a BD where they do a very similar feeling show as Camelot just under a different theme/ name, except they don’t have the high brow concept BD has from Scott Chandler. I hope they inpliment some cool voice overs or something because that could really help.

I think Rick does not the best job at concepts for them, I think take any vandegrift show for example is better than these productions which are trying to be deep but it just doesn’t show

The beginning before that first big impact feels a little bit thin on the music side so it may have been written with voiceovers in mind.

I struggle to think of any marching band or drum corps show ever that was better for having prerecorded narration. My stomach turns to see people calling for a group to add that.

I can think of several, mostly on the band side. Quite a few Tarpon productions, for instance. That one Blue Knights show. To be fair, I can also think of several where it was unnecessary or detrimental. It's a tool like any other that can be used well, or used poorly.

In general, what prerecorded narration says to me is that the corps or band doesn't trust the music. That is very much the feeling I got as I watched one of the corps in the tour premiere event this evening. The songs kept getting interrupted or covered up by narration and I struggled not to shout "Shut up!" at my computer. Sure, there can be exceptions, but they are rare, and I absolutely would throw those babies out with the putrid bathwater. And with that, I'll stop belaboring the point in this thread.

It's like I'm watching old black and white westerns with my dad. I feel like it's not talked about enough how different crown is post the mass exodus of Keith Potter, Michael Townsend, Leon May and whoever else left for Boston. Those guys really do put together good drum corp products. Crown was in it's bag from like 2008 - 2016. A lot of memorable shows and moments. Even with only winning once in that stretch, I bet that drum corps fans left with crown being their favorite of the night more times than not. Since the departure though I feel like Boston has been awesome in the design lane while crown has just kind of been. Crown? NO DISRESPECT! THEY ARE CLEARLY STILL AMAZING!

If you praise Crown in this era you risk the wrath of several forum denizens - as I have learned the hard way! I can hear Dan Balash seething in the distance...But in all seriousness, yes! Those folks bailing - and taking a big chunk of the color guard at the time - had a huge impact. Some of my favorite shows in all the marching arts were in this era of Crown, and since then... well, not so much.

There’s a bit of Hebron 2014, Flower Mound 2018 in Boston! I love the show. Even the end of it feels very Leander 2016.
