This is my favorite drum corps show of all time.
My favorite show of all time is Coats 16 😅😅
Ben Gunnarson watches the Funliner podcast 😳
Agree, I don't think there's been a stronger line in terms of power in modern era. Sheesh
I understand now why you think so, thanks Ben
mine too. second is bloo 2015
People truly do not understand how difficult this show was to pull off
- a ‘12-‘13 drumline vet
Crown 2012 mello section leader here! I'm going to attempt to clarify a few things you mentioned as well as adding a few more fun facts from personal experience. This show always gets my blood pumping (and makes me tired!)
•The source music was originally written for Eb horns, and when the brass team was writing the music, they toyed with the idea of working with Yamaha to make custom Eb mellophones for the season.
•The mello theme that happens twice was something that we "watched the drum major" (HEAVY QUOTES) but basically we ended up practicing it over and over and over again with our eyes closed until we could feel each other consistently. The drum major was there to check in for us at the end to realign with the rest of the ensemble.
•We used to do "pop quizzes" during brass block which meant full runs of the opener. We'd be working on any other part of the show and we'd hear "pop quiz for water" from the box.
•At finals, there was a phone ringing sound during the announcement which people thought was a fun addition, but it turns out Michael Boo's phone wasn't silenced and it happened to go off at the wrong time!
•The end of the front ensemble feature that lines up with the rifle tosses was not planned by the staff. The front ensemble section leader planned it out with the guard and just... did it one day, and the staff kept it.
•I can STILL you every single note from Fanfare for the Common Man, including where I was in the chord, how many cents I had to adjust my pitch to be in tune, and alternate fingerings we used.
•The design team rewrote the drill going into the 3D rotating cube so that all of us had to learn new spots for the same move, but because the drill didn't look different, we spent an entire block practicing it OVER and OVER and OVER so that it looked just as clean as the night before, even though it was all new.
Any tips for preparing for Crown? I know they aren't the exact same organization as they were a decdade ago but still, any advice helps. I marched trumpet at Surf in 19 and that was a blast, was contracted for 20 but sadly we all know what happened in 20. I was in the audition process on trumpet 3 for Crown this season but I was so unprepared because it had been since early spring of 20 since I actually marched, especially because I was drum major at my high school in 20-21. I had I had to drop the audition and focus on school, going from a virtual junior and senior year made freshman year of college a bit of a rough transition. I want to audition again either this upcoming season or next (I'm a horn player so im thinking of making the switch to mello btw) .2012 is one of the best productions ever put on the field, if not the best, and my favorite show. The style of show that Crown had from 08 to 17 was unmatched in entertainment value imo.
as a concert musician i have always felt that crown was heavy on chordal tuning, especially through alternate fingerings. greatness doesn't just happen people!! that corps really does do it better than anyone else, year in and year out.
Just found this show, you all are incredible 🫶
This was the year I realized I needed to march Crown 👑 🔥
This was the year I marched Crown, so we’ve kinda got that in common 😂
"Common" Good? No? Okay I'll stop-
@@the1aj39 bruh...
My knees still hurt from this show 😂 But y’all were right - we worked forEVER on the exact shape of accents, singing pitches on Fanfare, and drilling the minute details - all while running. This was my first and only year marching drum corps - my body has yet to recover 😂
It was an absolute honor to march in this show. Really cool to hear that people consider it their favorite show!
I've watched this show a countless number of times. I even bought the DCI 2012 dvd just because of this show. No matter what, I will tear up and/or get goosebumps watching it. It is... so freaking cool. I would have given anything to see it live.
I marched 12 Regiment and Ioved seeing you all throw down throughout the season!
When I saw this show in San Antonio that year, it literally changed me as a person. I remember actually telling the instructor that was doing my audition in early 2013 how I saw Crown, and decided in an instant that I wanted to play brass because of the impact it had on me.
So thanks for one of the top shows of the decade!
defo one of the best. brass-wise, probably #1 :)
I love this show so much!!!!
Lead trumpet from this show. Really do appreciate the value of you "APPRECIATING" for how hard this repertoire was. There were multiple times leading up to finals where it would be uncomfortable, but we had to keep pushing. Your commentary and reactions were amazing. I hope this show stays in memories for a lifetime.
Their timing is impeccable. If you consider the fact that they are a hundred yards apart from each other and a lot of the times as they're playing the tubas are looking at the drum major from their bad side oh, they are giving us nothing but clean attacks and full playing. Carolina crown's brass is nothing but a clinic
I feel old if 2012 is considered old. Being introduced to DCI in 2000 as a teen i guess I'm old. Jeez. Check out 2007 Cadets, they were running like crazy.
Cadets 2007 is honestly one of the greatest shows of all time. I truly believe that the incessant narration is the only thing that held them back from first place. That show fires on every single cylinder
1992 for me. And I thought '88 was ancient history at the time.
And then there’s those of us who grew up watching drum corps in the 70s and 80s for whom pre-DCI shows are “ancient”.
@@KevinGamin 70s and 80s i admire. I can watch those shows and be so excited.
My band director marched that show he was the I hate basics dude
Love the show... also, you can't say you haven't seen the entire show.... and then hum and conduct almost every part down to each phrase. lol You've seen it all the way through fam.
Correction- hes watched it at least 20 times, just like the rest of us have
You can tell how this show led in to 2013 - the things that were pretty clean in this show, like the chromatic runs and the 3D rotating block, were immaculate in 2013. I don't think any show has ever beat this one in terms of visual difficulty.
scv 2016 is a really underrated show
Facts
AGREED
Scv 2016 is my favorite show. The arrangement was very good and the brass, percussion, and color guard were amazing. Those mellos are insane.
So is SCV 2013, I still think it deserved a medal.
Never seen this show all the way through??? MY BUTT
Cavaliers 2019 would be cool to see yall react to.
I agree with this statement.
@@mrfryboy101 WOW lmao it is an honor to have you of all people agree with me.
Luke Barnes yes. Cavaliers 2019 was one of my favorites. It’d be cool to see them react to an early 2000’s cavaliers show as well
With Adam Zapf as a guest
this has to happen pls
You guys talk about "Going into the vault" and watching 2012, but you guys should really do a video on Star 1993
Luis Gonzalez 👍👍👍
madison 1995 OR bd 1994
I think these guys are recent age outs. Like 2019. So to them, 2012 is the vault.
BrothaNBlue lmao so am I. Don’t get me wrong, I feel old talking about 2012 too, but most kids these days as they get introduced to DCI don’t care for much before 2014
@@LuisGonzalez-zr7cq fair enough
Kim: I have never seen this show all the way through
Also Kim: *conducts the entire show*
This is the kind of drill that DCI is missing these days. They were MOVING, while playing their butts off
11:41 The triangle formation landing from an incredible build up is a homage to the 1993 Star of Indiana. You can even see the uniform show a similar resemblance to 1993. Not to mention Matt Harloff was a drum major for 1993 Star. It was almost like they made a statement with that resolution that Crown is carrying the legacy of Star.
Thank you, had that thought many times with the feel of this show.
2016 Crown would be dope to see yalls input on, hope you guys at some point react to it. You guys are awesome
Phantom Regiment 2008, Spartacus! It was the year I discovered drum corps and I was blown away by it.
11:40 LITERALLY HAS MADE ME CRY
I DON’T KNOW WHY
OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT IT’S SUCH AN INCREDIBLE HIT
That hit is also part of what made me become hellbent on learning and marching mello, along with all of Bluecoats 2018, that mello line was fucking incredible
This is forever going to be one of my all-time favorite shows, not only because the performance was incredible, but because of the sentimental value it holds for me. This was the first year I ever got to go to a live show, and I think this show single-handedly got me into the activity. I was invited along with a couple of friends for their one of their birthdays to go to world championships (since I only live a couple of hours from Indy), and I reluctantly agreed to go along. I had pretty much no interest in the marching arts beforehand despite being in marching band, but these guys came on and just...completely blew the roof off of the stadium. They lit that crowd on fire.
And then Cabaret Voltaire came on right afterwards. I, along with my friends and literally 90% of the crowd, utterly hated it. It left us so confused and weirded out. I've since come to appreciate that show more, but there's a childish part of me that's still a little disgruntled and bitter about it. This is one of those years that people talk about when they say "The second place corps should have won." I don't know if I can agree quite as wholeheartedly with that sentiment anymore, but it certainly was the most awe-inspiring show that year in my eyes and ears.
Y’all should react to bluecoats 2015
This show should've won. I watched a rehearsal of this show early season in June and getting the concert bass drums together in the ballad was a difficult endeavor. I saw a rehearsal again before NightBeat and still have an audio recording of the opener and it just sounds.....so....good.
2019 Crown were also running the field like chickens with their heads cut off triple tonguing everything.
I'm honestly in love with the era of dci that was drill heavy. But then also I'm super interested in understanding better the appeal to the more modern style of dci
I think the best shows in DCI come when the two eras and styles converge. Having simultaneous demand while also having props and telling a story. I love fast paced drill but I also love the useage of props and verticality.
@@dre6582 I guess agree to disagree then. I do love different shows for different reasons, whether it's the music, or the crazy drill, or i suppose the choreo, im lookin at you cavaliers 2010. I guess I've just generally disliked shows with huge props more than ive liked them.
David DeSalvo I like the shows where the huge props are out of the way mostly so they can still have traditional drill along with having something like that. Boston 17 and Blue stars 19 are good examples of that. They have props that are used to visualize a story while also having fantastic drill writing
This show and Cadets '93 top my list of shows that I love to watch but would never want to march. The tempos in both are nuts and the performers have almost no recovery time to catch their breath.
(Also, Crown should have won for this show).
That's funny you say that. I marched Cadets '93, and when I think of a show I'd like to test a 21 year old version of my body with, Crown '12 is the one that comes to mind. I can only imagine a season with many moments of physical agony with pure joy right along side it. Just a tremendous feat of human achievement.
Mello c's will never get old
From a brass and overall music standpoint Crown 2012 is one of the best ever. Percussion held them back some but my God was that brass line AMAZING!
This is the hardest show I've ever seen put onto the field
BAC 2014 was on another goddamn level. As was Cavies 2011, Crown 2019 is hard as fuck, Star 1993 (if ya wanna get old-school with it)
Watching this in 2024. This show was ahead of its time. It would have won in modern DCI.
I marched blue knights in 2012 and remember seeing this live and still to this day think this is my all time favorite
And i think its crowns best brass of all time that year (imo)
I marched Boston Crusaders this year and remember how epic Crown's show was. One of my personal favorites to see all season.
Crown's Hornline gives me goosebumps every time I hear them, they are absolutely incredible. Too bad I can never be a part of that since I play woodwind and I'm not even good enough at my first instrument to be on their level, much less learning another instrument.
Pick up a brass instrument and work your butt off
I’m time one of those old school drum corps fans he was talking about....I go back to when DCI first started, and yes,this is my all time favorite, I have been a competitor and a fan for all of DCI existence....damn, I’m getting old.....
The environmental demand is off the charts for this show.
2016 crown?
Full show is not on TH-cam.
Not the Finals run, but there is a different Multicam performance
Sam Green yep. That multicam was with the old ending which was amazing.
Aaron Copland’s Fanfare for the Common Man is such a brilliant piece, and crown did it so good
Fanfare for the Common Man was one of the first works that made me realize how epic brass features could be. It is only fitting for the corps with the best hornline to tackle and feature such an epic piece so heavily
The writing for this show literally blew my entire mind when I watched it wayy back then and even to this day Crown and most other corps haven’t really hit the nail on the head like this show does. AND IT DIDNT EVEN WIN 1ST 😭😓
loudest tubas ive ever heard in dci at 10:24 - 10:40
if you listen closely at 10:26 you can hear the E that the tubas play echo for a bit after they release
if we’re talking semi-underrated shows 2015 Bluecoats was a banger
Honestly that show was WAY better than their championship show.
Absolute bop
We need more of these videos, it's cool getting a perspective from people that actually did drum corps.
When a drum corps can do a better job playing this fanfare than some professionals, that says a lot about what we just watched. For the life of me I can't figure out why they didn't win that year., this was crisp it was clean., and oh my God it was loud in the best way possible.!!
This was one of the first shows I ever saw. I saw them early in the season at Michigan City and they absolutely stole the show.
2012 was the best year for drum corps no cap
The DMs are conducting at different tempos at the beginning. One for the accel, the other to keep the FFTCM line in time
Jagged line or wrong side of the tracks would be really cool to see your reactions of.
Blue Knights 2015 Amazing show please react !!!!!
Y’all have my respect. As members of DCI to give appreciation like this. Mad Respect!
Feels like the entire corps is booking it the ENTIRE show
Keep doing what ur doing guys! Some great content out here...........
I suggest BD 2011
Bijan Levinson
Yes!
Compare the crowd between Carolina and blue devil and there is no comparison. It was a perfect storm of design, talent and execution. Second to none. Historic to have played with that group but also to have witnessed it live.
Some of my favorites: 2008 Crown, 1999 SCV, 2000 Cadets, 1995 Cavis, 2017 Crown, 2019 Crown, 2013 SCV, 2017 Cavis, 2018 Boston, 2014 Coats
This channel is what’s keeping me sane in the marching world.
Fun Fact: 2 of my highschool band directors marched this show
Love the reaction vid!! This show is def on of my all time fav Crown shows 💞 this guy I went to HS with was in this iconic show too!!
This show proved that Crown is the new Star of Indiana. Always awesome, almost NEVER winning.
The closer section (including the climax) looks and sounds like an hommage to Star of Indiana.
You guys should react to open class!!! Maybe like a BDB show you haven't seen or a show from last year
Yes!!!! BDB would be so special to watch! I’ve commented it each time lol
Give BDB ‘16 a watch
Watch Crown 2016 or a Boston Crusaders show.
One of my old band directors actually marched Baritone in this show,
I need to see your reaction to SCV 2016. This show and Crown 12 are some of the best shows out there and criminally underrated too.
Would love to see Phantom 2003, my favorite show of all time.
Ya'll should do Cadets 2013. Best overall musical package of all time IMO. These videos are fresh.
Samuel Barber!
It’s definitely one of the hardest brass/percussion packages.
To take it back a little , cavies 1992, 1995, 2000 or scv 1999 would be dope
facts
This show was like Star 93 and Cadets 93 combined.
The closing section of this has you both in astonishment and in tears..... Nothing more has to be said. This is why Carolina Crown will always be in the hunt
My favorite show went from Carolina crown relentless to Carolina crown 2012. dang....
Crown 2008 would be a cool show to see them react to
Incredible show. 2008 was the year I got into DCI and the opening hit from Finis gets me everytime.
I hope y’all do more crown videos. There hornline is so beastly!
First time watching. What did you 3 play and which Drum Corp
In case you didn’t find out yet. They all marched trumpet for BD. The one on the left marched bloo in 2015 and in 2016 and 17 with the one in the middle before they both went to BD for 18 and 19. The one on the right marched BD 16 and 17 and then was drum major for 18 and 19
That drill is REALLY insane
Yeah both BD and CC tied for the John Brazale visual caption trophy
Here is the one caption that crown won, breaking BD’s perfect streak.
th-cam.com/video/xAmTXlYADtM/w-d-xo.html
“Correction, we have a correction” shook the entire stadium up that night!
Cavies 2011 would be a dope show to watch
Ok but how did you guys get videos of these shows... is there a new Google Drive out there?
Bdb19🥺!!! Open class love! Also how about a show from 19 you didn’t get to watch!!
Can y'all do a reaction video to Crown 2019?!
Love you guys reaction! This is one of my favs!
I’d love to see them react to Mad World...But that’s just my opinion 🤷♀️
Full stop, the hardest crown show of all time.
Have these in your back pocket 06, 10 and 11 Cavie; 09 BD, Crown; 07 and 08 Phantom; 11 Crown, BD; 12 and 13 BD
This should have been their 2nd Championship.
Could you guys please react to "12.25" by The Cadets? Probably one of my favorite shows Pre-2015
Actually BD and Crown tied for the visual caption, but Crown won visual on finals night and that was the tie breaker. So Crown took brass and visual.
Well, like you said the visual caption title was a tie and the John Brazale award went to BOTH the Blue Devils and Carolina Crown.There was no "tie breaker" and actually, on finals night the Blue Devils took the Visual caption by 0.5 points. Carolina Crown only won the sub-caption of Visual Proficiency. Both corps had an insanely good visual program that year so its a good thing both of them were recognized for it!
I feel like the drill early was so hard that some spacing and timing errors can be forgiven
Need to do Crown 2009, Crown 2013, and Bluecoats 2014!
Great review gentlemen
Where do they find the full length shows to react to??
Holy crap I’ve finally found a solid DCI reaction channel! Shall subscribe.
Would love to hear your thoughts on 2015 bluecoats
Gotta Say my favorite show right now Is Cadets 2020
if you’ve seen the audience reactions at the end my assistant band director is the short one jumping 😭
My band director marched this show
Please do more Carolina crown
I'm a massive Blue Devils fan, but there is NO WAY on Gods green earth that this show should have lost out to Devs.
Unfortunately there’s diminishing returns that comes with having a more difficult show. Crown 2012 is definitely touched way more hearts (it’s my favorite show of all time) but by DCI scoring standards BD deserved that win. They’re just too clean across the board.
Blue devils had a slight edge in visuals and percussion. As much as I hate it, going through the judge sheets it makes sense where they could win over Crown.
Dude with hat, aren't you one of the drum majors for Ghost Light
Right after it ends “Dang”.....what more is there to say?
Crown 2016 please and thank you.
Everyone loves crown
You guys are great
