@@the1aj39 not really as of now they are planning a three day event in Indy in August but a lot of corps aren’t going through the trouble this year. But if everything in back to normal in 2022 the season should be amazing because they are working on program ideas they’ve had for over a year now so a lot of thought is going into these upcoming shows
If you look closely, you’ll realize that the whole brass choir (orange costumes) in the ballad is made up of women. From what I know, that is the first time it’s happened in DCI, and was a really powerful moment.
@@andrewholifield2405 You're right. There used to be an All Girls Division. I think the OP is mentioning the fact that an all female brass choir hasn't been done in Modern DCI.
I just got my contract to March Crown in the hornline this summer and I cannot be more excited. I love your reactions to these videos because this was what I watched all through high school and it gave me a purpose and something to work towards. Really appreciate your love for this activity 🙏🏼 it treats many of us well and it is seriously one of the best things on this earth.
I'm lead baritone at my high school and I'm trying out for Crown after I graduate HS. Crown has been my dream drum corp ever since I saw Relentless live in Houston in 2016. Since you're a bari like me, is there any tips you would give me in the audition process? Thanks!
I've only seen a few of your reactions, but I love how much of a fan you are of what these performers do, even though I don't think you've ever done this activity yourself. Most outsiders just don't get how amazing this is.
Its crazy how i had to find out about them on my own a whole 2 years into hs. My band was all about the bluecoats when i joined so when i saw my first crown (2016) vid i just subconsciously assumed they were from NC instead of SC since nobody ever said anything about them at my school lmao.
The moment you get to see a crown show live is the moment you truly understand the pure power behind the brass and percussion can’t wait for you to see a live show!
@@nathanaylesbury3695 I guess opinions vary. In my view 2017 was the least favorite of all crown shows. I have to exempt the ballad performed by that angel of a voice which I really loved. But overall I had a hard time watching that show and no traditional Crown set in that one either. I KNOW people would say that is not true and point to a set near the end, and I stopped the video to study it. Bottom line... if I cant recognize a Crown set, it isnt a Crown set and I look forward to them every year. 2019 was the best yet if it had been in the middle of the field and not so hidden by flags and other activities around it.
@@dennissmathers898 I agree wholeheartedly. Crown is my favorite corps but 2017 was honestly a pretty bad show. It was really incoherent and disconnected. The beginning was really lackluster. The ballad was fine but I'm never a fan of vocals over the hornline so it was just really distracting. That and the vocals were a main feature from the ballad onward so that really ruined the latter half of the entire show for me. The closer was really weird and boring... I took my boyfriend to DCI for the first time that year and he said Crown's show was the only one he didn't really remember. Overall, it was more like a Blue Knights show than a Crown's show.
That'll be so cool, good luck in your ambitions and passions! I'm more of a classical piano player myself but I wouldn't mind being in a marching band, looks really cool. Of course it'll probably have to be Ohio State for me lmao
The most forgiving part about this show is the Hornlines incredibly deep and rich tone quality. Especially once the Trombones come out, the last chord of the Ballad is just sooooooo rich
Beatles. Intentionally misspelled as a double entendre ( "Beat" for rock band, Beetles instead of Crickets (Buddy Holly & the Crickets). PS: Chubby Checker from Fats Domino.
looking forward to the day you come back from a DCI championship and express the "feel". You havn't really experienced DCI until you feel the music live. Some of it is breath taking.
Not my personal favorite Crown show but there simply is nothing else on the planet like Crown Brass!!! My favorite Crown show is Relentless, I know you reacted to it already but you should really watch this finals version. The one you watched was earlier in the season and not as good imo, the finals ending makes my tear up everytime!
Courtney. We have the DCI Eastern Classic here in Allentown, PA. Its 2 nights (Friday and Saturday). Its pretty much their big show before championships in Indy. Carolina Crown has started using my High School to do their practices before they take a 20 min trip over to Allentown at J. Birney Crum Stadium. If you look up that stadium. Its a High School Football Stadium meant for High School Marching Band and Drum Corp Shows. The Cadets are based in Allentown, PA just a heads up.
ironically, DCI had some say in the design of Lucas Oil Stadium from an acoustics standpoint as it was their decision to move DCI world headquarters to Indy that allowed them to secure funding and permits for the stadium. Crown did the unveiling of the plan to move from Orlando for them in 06. We got to do a rehearsal day in the RCA dome that culminated in a televised broadcast of our show with the headline that DCI was moving their headquarters there.
4:45...damn! This is the most in-tune and tightest hornline I've ever heard on the field. _Beyond satisfying._ Love how they didn't use their props as a crutch. Music and marching, _Baby;_ that's all drum corps needs. Hmm, the timpani perfectly playing an entire half step sharp at the end almost sounds intentional.
This performance was more enjoyable seeing it live. Granted, that could be said about any performance, but Crown shows like 2012, 2014 and 2015 seem to be amazing on film and live. Many of the low tones and beast noises had a much greater effect in the stadium. Still a great show, particular from the battery and front ensemble.
My video watching is going together tonight, just got done watching your inferno video again then this pops up lol. My favorite trumpet feature ever in this show.
Now don't get me wrong, it's still a phenomenal performance, it's just not one of the more memorable shows from Crown for me. I have that same problem with Blue Devils though too. Can't deny that their performances are insanely good, but when I think of BD shows, there's not many that i can really recall watching even though they have so many championship winning shows.
I agree. Great show, but something is missing. I had the pleasure of watching it live and it was in your face, but like I said b4 something is missing. Now as a BD fan. It takes a minute for me to get into their shows, and alot aren't memorable the past 10- 15 years. I prefer 90s , early 00s..
@@duncanchestnut5583 Since 2014, BD has gotten more love, but lets be real, the reason BD isn't entertaining isn't because of their shows, it's cause they win too much. BD has dominated for so long that they can come out with the ultimate fan friendly show and the majority will still hate it if they win with it. ABBD (Anyone But Blue Devils) rules the DCI fan base.
@@gunner-qf9eh i actually really liked their 2019 show, and was happy to see them win with it. I try not to go into the seasons with that ABBD mentality but it's also hard not to be rooting for someone else. I really just like an entertaining show no matter which corp it is. Lately I've been jealous that i'm not young enough to march a Bluecoat show and i barely even remembered they existed before Tilt blew my mind.
@@aubreyricher9827 I hear you and I appreciate the honesty. I remember back in 2014 at the Glendora CA show, this guy was sitting behind me, he had flown in from I believe Pennsylvania where he saw Tilt the night before. He was raving about Tilt and how that will win, until BD took the field a few hours later. Fellini blew us all away and got a huge ovation. That same guy stood up and said it's over, no one will beat BD and cause of that he hates Felliniesque. He grabbed his jacket and left. What's crazy is BD didnt perform last, SCV did. He didnt stay for Vanguard he was so upset lol.
I saw this one live, late in the season. It was my first time seeing Crown live. Man, that brass sound is incredible live. I really hope that you get to hear them live. Oh and hi the new hair is nice dude! :) I'd recommend Cadets 2000 or 2005.
Wanted to post and say how much I really enjoy watching you react to some of my favorite DCI shows. Your enthusiasm and apprecation for the activity is the attitude I wish I saw more of! Some shows i'd reccomend for the future: Phantom Regiment 2010, Star of Indiana 1991, Santa Clara Vanguard 1999, Cavaliers 1992, The Cadets 2000. Thanks again for what you are doing and I wish you the best in the future! Looking forward to more reaction videos!
So just curious - Do you ever go back and watch these again just because you enjoyed it so much? 😀 Sometimes it's hard for me to stop listening LOL We need to get you to Indianapolis for world championships in 2022
I got a reaction for ya Courtney. Something you'd never imagine you'd see. It blew my mind when I seen it CRAZY COOL!! Look up "Wintergatan - Marble Machine (music instrument using 2000 marbles)"
This is my favorite DCI show that ive gotten to see in person! Glad to see you like it as well! Lol
The best trombone feature ever.
waaaaaaaaaaaaa
-every trombone player
That ballad moment is just godly
Gotta love my bones
Favorite Trombone Features
1. SCV 2014 opener
2. Crown 2018
3. Cadets 2016 opener
Ugh
I hadn't seen this show and had no idea they used Blow It Up, Start Again.
I should've known: it's perfect for Crown.
Crown 2016 is a must watch
She did a video of that one already.
The all girls section halfway through the show is very creative. Courtney your running out of Crown shows:( can’t wait for the 2022 season
Wait, is there a 2021 season or...?

Also, all of the male high brass swaps to trombones for the ballad. They swap back afterwards.

Watch the Carolina Crown Drops The Hammer video. Just practicing in a parking lot, lasts about 2 minutes, awesome.
I live 45 minutes from where they are based and I never heard of them, until I started watching your videos.
I'm a similar distance, if they allow it in 2022 they have their preview show at Gardner Webb University in early June after spring training

Crown 2019 next?!?!?
Please!!!!!
That was actually one of her first videos. She did their rehearsal show that year.
@@markalusss I’ll go searching then
Clearly, one of the best ever - certainly top 3 of any that I have seen. Thanks for sharing!
I don't know if you noticed but that was an all-female mello feature in the ballad with those orange drapes
@Adrian T what
Those weren't just mellos. Every female member in the brass section was in that feature.
You should watch Jubal 2018 The beauty of madness (I know, not a American corps but definitely worth it)
15:41 that’s all I needed to hear. Crown for life!!!
Amazing talent all around.
Tom Brady - Seven Rings by Joseph Vincent PLEASE!!!
2nd favorite trombone feature after 2017 Devils
USE ME TO VOTE FOR COURTNEY REVIEWING 1994 BLUE DEVILS.
Drumline killed it 👌
I wonder how many people gloss over the ALL FEMALE horn segment during the Beatles ballad.
this needs to be the most popular comment on this video
Beatles. Intentionally misspelled as a double entendre ( "Beat" for rock band, Beetles instead of Crickets (Buddy Holly & the Crickets). PS: Chubby Checker from Fats Domino.
9:14 Same girl, same.
seeing this live at dci finals just...*chef’s kiss*. the amount of energy they can make a crowd feel never fails to amaze me. favorite corps for SURE
The all female ensemble part melts my heart :) I love this show. Especially the closer. and your face at 9:13 is about right. Amazing brass sounds :)
Women feature slaps
Anyone else get more hype by her reaction than the actual video? It’s like I’m always watching to see if she gets excited at the same time as I do!
band slang?
beginning = opening hit?
slow part = ballad
ending = closer
You should react to the cavaliers show men are from Mars
You should react to the rescue of captain Phillips
OK This was AWESOME!
Great reaction, Courtney! Thank you.
You should watch some BOA ( bands of America) high schools like Hebron hs 2021 and Brocken arrow high school
looking forward to the day you come back from a DCI championship and express the "feel". You havn't really experienced DCI until you feel the music live. Some of it is breath taking.
Another example of why Crown has the best hornline of all Drum Corps.
someone please guarantee request carolina crown 2009!
i’m a simple man. i see Courtney, i see crown. i hit like
Not my personal favorite Crown show but there simply is nothing else on the planet like Crown Brass!!!

2018 was definitely one of the best seasons of DCI I've experienced from the stands. 😊
It's pretty to awesome to have seen you go from "Is this a thing?" to Carolina Crown! "This is one of my favorite corps to watch!" one of mine too!
yeah boi
4:45...damn!

Hmm, the timpani perfectly playing an entire half step sharp at the end almost sounds intentional.
I was there that year on the 45 for all finals week.
my prediction Is that crown will invite her for the 2022 season to hop on tour for finals week
There's a "crown" in this show also. Can you guess where it is? Hint, it's a "Beast" crown.
Yeah...it ain’t where they normally put it.
Courtney needs some Blooo 18 action now. That had the best ballad I've heard, just me personally.
Let us get rid of the fairies, woodnymphs, dragons, spirit beings, and tights. Lets get back to precision drum and bugle corps.
Best Sprite ad I've ever seen. 🤣👍
