I just think theres a lot of untapped visual and musical potential to come out of this still closer. Its still really really amazing maybe my own expectations might have been too high
@@mjgomez9 not hating. I’ve been on the Crown train since 2004. It’s totally fine to criticize design, concept, music choices. All three are bad. The kids, however, are amazing. Don’t be ridiculous
I will always love Crown's music and of course the brass, but they are going to have to do some serious cleaning to even get past Boston this year. Bloo and the Crusaders came out swinging. Bloo already over 95 points with 1 week left to clean!? I hope the final is an absolute DOOZIE!!
I love that they brought John Mackey in into compose the closer. Before I saw this live last night I listened to the wind ensemble version of this piece. In general, it sounds like a wash of sound. although every member was as accurate as they could’ve been, the composition feels unbalanced. Whenever I heard it live, I had the same reaction. Crown is doing an amazing job playing the piece, but they have to rearrange quite a bit before finals for it to feel cohesive. The horn line is super solid and I’m looking forward to seeing them again finals night
I honestly agree with that, and it feels like just sound and no main melody line. I think they can re-arrange it better but the updated ending is awesome
I, too, agree. Mackey writes some incredible wind ensemble pieces, but that’s what it is… wind ensemble. For the notoriety that crown brass has, there’s lots of potential for musical expansion. It definitely could’ve been arranged better to suit the technicality that crown brass is known for. The brass line is too good for this style of music and there’s a BIG difference from the opener to the closer. Definitely unbalanced.
I absolutely LOVE Carolina Crown,...but this ending is incredibly underwhelming. So much more could have been done visually and it never happened. And why the forced key change? It's not in the original version and shouldn't be in this show. I feel like huge staffing changes are coming for Crown this off season.
@@tredaviousbowser7931Bostons show this year is literally just an early 2010s Crown show. From the uniforms, to the style, to some of the visuals, to some of the guard references. I was at the show last night and felt like I was watching something akin to E=MC2 and Out of this World. In the closer, when Boston reverses their show and they glitch out, it’s just a reference to Crown 2010. There’s also a moment when a guard member runs through the big hoops and jumps into the arms of a Hornline member, and I was like, “this is just Crown 2013”😂 It’s wild
It had so much potential, they just tried TOO hard to force in GE and made the book TOO difficult. The hornline if phenomenal, they’re just working with a book that is impossible to make cohesive, hence the fourth place ranking in brass. One thing that nobody is talking about, which I think is the most crucial shortcoming of this show, is the uninteresting and downright easy drill. I’m sure it’s not easy to perform, but it LOOKS easy, and adds no effect to the show. Crown used to have the absolute best drill, from 2009-2017. I don’t know what happened.
@@wilschulzOMG DUDE THIS SHOWS DRILL IS SO FRICKING BORING. Every time it comes on I’m just looking at it like yea the musics amazing, personally not my favorite of this season coats devils phantom and Boston I think are clear favorites. But it’s just so bland compared to like even the devils.
@jameshartzog1256 I agree with yall. Crowns drill, post 2019, hasn't been really unique or engaging whatsoever from my perspective. Again, not easy to march for sure, but not visually engaging
Their bad shows are finally catching up with their recruiting. Hornline is weakest in 10+ years (still fantastic relative to all corps, but rough for Crown).
@@wilschulzI’m a sophomore that goes to school at Barren Ky and our show last year was the same way we were a good group but our show was so long with mid music and no visuals/body and our score suffered and we never made it to semi finals 😭
**What is really going on with Crown this year!!!??? As a drummer I'm so disappointed in the percussion efforts.... Not even Top 5!!!!! Really???? Blue Coats and Boston Crusaders both have Catchy memorable Moments in their shows....... But Crown got nothing! Not even a Brass moment that really Stands Out, Who's responsible for this MESS???***

Go Crown! Haters will hate and that’s ok, ignore them! Thank you for bringing music to the field.

Interesting
interesting he says... yeah man just release the 19 hr vent about why Crown fell off already 😭
@@AmealYT did you know if you switch to GEICO you can save 15% or more on car insurance?

Do you have the full video?
@@JoySipada I recorded their closer and 2 parts of their opener. I can try to splice those together tonight when I get home from work!
There were people going around stopping people from filming, I wasn’t able to film much
@@noahmullins1885 really? I never encountered any issues
@@JoySipada I didn’t get busted, but plenty of people in the front of 1RR were getting told to cut it out
@noahmullins1885 oh man, I was up in Row 20 kinda in the middle. So maybe I lucked out?

Dare I say Boston looks and sounds more like Crown. I loved that key change though. Mandarins did it last year during the trombone trio
@@tredaviousbowser7931boston does have a lot of Crowns old staff on board. Which is why they look a lot like they did.
Too little, too late imo. Phantom should top them at finals.

Crown needs some design overhauls. Last year was such a step in the right direction, and then this show is SO underwhelming
They are falling off
