Lower Suites :)

I recommend this section for semis and quarters BUT finals night the closer you are to the 50 and the field is where it’s at. There’s nothing like it. The energy and the emotion consume you.

They DID have to push the pramalot....

I think so too

@ThisisourYear-wt3md no they don’t.

Could not agree more. We were aware of the fact that we were gonna get second at Champion of Champions since Blue Springs was gonna be there, but most of us were just excited to get so see them and perform against such a high level group. I was quite sad when I heard that they dropped. Us winning by four points for the second year in a row was a nice side effect though. Hypotheticals don’t diminish the experience of the players in the band, it stimulates interest and excitement in the activity. Also, how did you know that my band when to champion of champions? Did your band go as well? If so, which band are you in? I wonder if I saw you guys.

@ThisisourYear-wt3md no I wouldn’t. I don’t think anyone would. But that’s not what I’m arguing here. First of all, I, and I would imagine most others, mean no disrespect to any of the groups that actually did win when you complement another group. When I make a comment such as this one above, im saying it to build up the group im talking to, not tear down the other successful groups. And honestly, on a broader scale, I think it’s good for marching band as a whole to discuss who everyone thinks would do the best and thing like that. That’s why sites like HornRank exist. It can a: expose people to more excellent shows beyond the 12 grand nats finalists, and b: it can help show designers and directors to make their programs better either by talking about what makes top groups great, and what slight differences there are that make certain groups slightly better, or if they direct those top groups, they can hear what the general community thinks about their group/show and how they can improve in the future. While yes, some feelings may be hurt, that is unfortunately something that inevitably comes with anything that has a competitive aspect to it. Where one group wins, another has to lose. When someone theorizes that one group would have won, that also means that they think another group wouldn’t have. I understand your point, I really do, but I don’t think that we should ignore the people on the receiving end of the complement, as they deserve to hear what the populace thinks of their show.

No question they would have been in serious contention had they went. Incredible demand and really clean at this point in the season.

It’s Lacrimosa by Mozart, and I’m glad you liked it! One of my favorite parts from the show

The rush from Australia (2008 movie) it switches to lacrimosa at 5:05

I don't agree, the winning group did not have more exciting drill

Cope, they tell a story in a beautiful and musical way, watch military bands if it pisses you off that bad

Effeminate how? This was epic as fuck

Voice overs/effects are more commonly used in shows now for GE. However, some corps still create great shows without them!

They might have taken it down a notch. The only reason might be for the watered down double tonguing at the end but that’s all I can think of rn

This was their first year having one!

The opening hit from 2005 would like a word.@@christopherhelm5454

Stress fracture. He did only the solos and ensembles.

WHAT

Cadets 2012

I don't, sorry!

@@MollyKFavret no worries :)

Drum corps are a package, crown has the phenomenal music, but only great visuals. While their main competition have the lead in visuals

Visuals and percussion have always pulled their score down come finals time. If they can work on those two, they can easily be a Top 3 corps year after year.

​@@Ganon136 their percussion has been worked on with the new staff, best percussion writing in years and placed 3rd in finals. It's really just visual that needs work

@@iainoam2565we must be watching different shows if you think crown was cleaner visually than bd

@@Ryan-dz7mg no once did I say crown was cleaner in visuals over BD. I said drum corps is a package deal, where Crown has "phenomenal music, but only great visuals" meanwhile their competition (bd) has the lead in visuals.

Yes! Interesting choice. One of my favorite war movie scenes of all time.

Crown loves a good run and gun.

This was literally me! Probably my favorite sets to rehearse over and over....

@@kaylastanz5828got your cardio in for the entire offseason

@@kaylastanz5828it was you??

@@kaylastanz5828couldn’t have been you cuz it was literally me and I hated those rehearsals.

crowds are not judges**

@@Ace_v120 Considering 85 to 90% in that Crowd has marched either DCI, DCA or another contest so they know what they are talking about. In addition to that, take any crowd reaction against this reaction from that same evening. Here's your real winner.

@@excidium8729I just don't agree. Crowd favorite shouldn't mean winner. Not because the crowd is unqualified as musicians but just because the most enjoyable show doesn't mean the best performed show. I think this show deserved second but the brass is not the only caption and the Blue Devils were insanely good

Yeah we had a sick bass

@@swagman3879 you actually did!

As one of the sousas in this I 100% agree

Sousa are always sharp and a bit to bright. Contras give a more mature sound
