The crown set is the only recognizable symbol here. That's why you like it so much. You're fully bought in. You know it's coming. Why can't the rest of the show have some element of that, some suspense, some pattern? The truth is that this show is a thematic disaster, with indecipherable drill sets, random action, a huge unworkable black platform, and a strained "word play" theme of transparency and underlying geometry. Unemotional, "push and pose" esoterica played by Broadway quality musicians and dancers. 4th place.
Jesu Spectre no, I’ve been a crown fan since 2015, and I think it’s a good way to end the show. It’s their symbol, just like vanguards shield. To call this show a design failure is pretty close minded. The black platform fulfilled its purpose of being a stage for soloists and features. So what if it’s unworkable, it’s job isn’t to be moved around, the BD’s props for example. Calling this show emotionless is your subjective opinion, not fact. I mean have you even heard the ballad? Did you even see the performers at the end of the show? That’s raw emotion and hype right there, and if you ever marched with a drum corps you would know EXACTLY what I’m talking about. These people put their lives into this.
It feels like something is missing though. This is my favorite group, but parts of the show feel empty. The bread is bringing it as usual. I can't put my finger on what I feel isn't there
@@sgtbob1272 To me, they're saying that the importance of art is that it's interpreted differently by everyone, and that things are scientifically natural, while also being incredibly defined and specific. Hence why there is soooooo much small detailing in this show. Think about the listening environment that these guys are being thrown into? It's absolutely incredible. The syncopation by the percussion section throughout the battery and front ensemble, the angelic horn parts, the ridiculously fast and precise drill moves? It's incredible. Absolutely breathtaking.
nice to watch a show and not even think about the theme, names of tunes, or see a bunch of theater. very good taste for modern music ! very much enjoyed this show !
Carolina Crown is definitely changing the game... They are solid all around every section of this amazing group is respected in my eyes....I’m just amazed how much this drum line has changed the game.... Much respect to all its staff and who ever writes the book... The brass are from another planet dam they sound amazing if that isn’t enough to explain how amazing this group is....I would like to see them groove and dance while playing like this...
I just watched this and my brain and my ears wanted to pull my entire body to attention because of what I was watching and experiencing it was that good
Exactly. I don't understand why I keep seeing so much of the band dancing in these recent shows by BDs & BCs... like wtf? I haven't marched since 2007 but damn did things change that much in 10 years?? And all that new dancing shit is what's winning.
@@drumhead89 doesn’t matter if it’s demanding if they don’t march it cleanly… bd was nearly perfectly clean on a pretty damn hard book. That’s why they won.
@@keananok a medal doesn’t mean 1st place you know that right? He’s saying they deserved a metal because of how clean they played on arguably the hardest book of 2019 I believe they should have placed over Scv even though I am a scv fan
I think it really sucks that your show needs to have a "theme" to have a hope of winning. This show is twice as good as SCV, but their props are bigger and they have "more of a theme." This show is badass.
idk what to tell you, stories affect people ig. I agree w/ you, but it can be argued that theme can add to the general effect of the music and visuals aswell.
Fucking jaw dropping closer, I marched in the 90's, but GE 100% unreal guys, its one of the most amazing performances I've ever seen and that includes Blue Devils '84'85'86'87'88'89'90'91
can someone please explain to me why crown isnt doing better in score and placement? they have the best brass/music and drill. and yes, bdfan4ever, the theme doesnt match the show but there is no denying the quality marching and music. 2019 should be between crown and SCV. I M O.
Christopher Auert for whatever it’s worth, I agree with you about SCV. I really don’t see what’s special about blue coats this year and I LOVED them last year.
@@AndrewBrown-yt1pw Which is weird. They have an awesome theme... what is 'Beneath the Surface' of every performance? The performer. They hint at this toward the end where they forgoe their shako to let the audience see the performer as a whole not one hiding beneath a crown. This show is a contender for the title in all captions except in Guard and GE.
my high school did a show with temen oblak a few years ago and other selections so it was really funny that i heard parts of our show here and i was like "oh THAT'S what that would sound like in DCI"
This was the cleanest show of 2019, but its concept was just too out there. It's literally meant to represent the tight, unforgivingly-rigid technical skill that lies within every single performer. The X-factor that makes a good show great was their ENTIRE show. It's mind-boggling to be honest, but it's just awesome as well.
With respect to the Bluecoats who I have watched but not heard because Beatles is like cockroaches in my ears, this is clearly the best show of the year. I think the judges still have their heads up their rears and still reward hideous props, digital samples and obtuse concepts that bypass the audience altogether. This is not the Met. This is drum corps. It is within the confines of our limitations that we find the infinite possibilities of our creativity.
This isn’t a jab at anyone but why is the dci community so sour when it comes to their favorite group like damn, scores don’t mean anything, they are putting out the best forms of entertainment out there(well for band kids😎) but still you Can ask any group member and they say the scores don’t mean a thing getting first is like a cherry on top it doesn’t define their season I don’t get it sometimes man, people to toxic
Fr everyone is like “I hate the blue devils” or “bluecoats suck” but like damn why cant we all just cheer for everyone and whoever wins it is what it is
Crown should’ve been 2nd behind Bluecoats in 2019. Idk wtf DCI’s obsession is with BD. Must be because System Blue is a DCI corporate sponsor (which is a conflict of interest), because BD really can’t touch Bloo, Crown, or SCV in design quality, difficulty, execution, or entertainment value. I even thought Boston was better than BD. SMH. Every BD placement since 2006 has an asterisk as far as I’m concerned. And I’m not the only one who thinks so.
I keep waiting for this show to morphe into something else but it's nearly the exact same from preview night. The opener pulls you in and then you slowly drift away throughout the remainder of the show. I had such high hopes when they released the musical selections. But another poorly designed crown show with a hidden color guard and pointless props.
Crown is on year number #3 of getting absolutely trounced despite having absolute top shelf hornline and battery performers. It's VERY obvious why their scores are suffering year after year. We're all begging for Crown's design team to get the message, but they seem dead set in their ways.
Wow. Another year, another wasted concept. Great brass, good drill, boring guard, useless props and a theme that does not even make sense with what’s going on the field. Talented group with nothing to work with.
Jetography why shouldn’t I watch? Drum corps is there for appreciation and critique. Same to you, if you don’t like the comment then don’t fucking post.
trap4dafu2k0fit you gonna tell us what was boring about it? What was it, the opening hit, the amazing drill, the incredible ballad, now tell me where this show is boring

I wish I could see Crown's brass, Vanguard's percussion, and Boston Crusader's guard collaborate on a supershow.
Ben Huffman that was basically Crown 2016
The judges still had them in 2nd lol
Adam Voegele lol not drums

The irony is Paul Rennick (SCV) and the color guard staff at Boston was at Crown previously.
I swear to god, there is nothing more exciting than the crown set at the end of each show

My high school just two months ago bought 5 Mellophones from Crown. They marched them for a year, and now I get to play it.
Crown techs: "Alright, today in visual block we're gonna be running 2:25-2:40."
My dude on the 35: *takes a nap*
haha, I know they HAD to have a inside joke about those few sets lol
I've been in that situation before, where I stayed in the same set, they rehearsed it for like 15 min. You just work on visuals for other parts.

Hey percussion in my band class and they showed us this now I'm waching it AGAIN it's sooooo good

Anyone in the crowd at San Antonio knows crown won that night
i wasnt even there an i knew bro
The Crown brass is beyond amazing. Their Mellos alone will blow away any brass section in any corps right now.
The fact that I've performed on the same field as Carolina crown is amazing

GE exists for a reason. There's gotta be a purpose for what happens on the field unfortunately.
@@ChiptuneDCI I think I was misinterpreted a little. By "purpose" I mean that it has to connect with the audience. It has to tell some sort of story.
lets not forget how hard SCV's book was
I've watched this show so many times, but every time it gets to the company front I just get chills... every single time
12:43 still gets me and I knew it was coming each time I backed it up to listen to it... four times in a row.

Underrated show
Thid might be my favorite version of this show
Oooh my god. That brass feature gave me chills
That brass tho, and clean drills.. Nice
I KNOW ITS BEAUTIFUL
the chord at 1:34 is crazy
Bb Major?
7:13 Gabriel's Oboe 😍😍
Carolina show was better than BD’s jus sayin
Crown can have the better show. As long as BD is DCI World Champions.
Idk bout that one chief
I dont know why, but in every other recording, their show sounds normal, but in this one, the whole brass sounds more raspy, and I love it.
Are we not gonna talk about the Mello line or what?
mellos on the g that was awesome
Their Mellos alone blow away anyone else’s entire brass ensemble. They are not flashy, but oh so consistent.
This is the reason I love DCI ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This show has grown on me.
My percussion teacher was in the FE this show, Calamas.
So not gonna lie I'm kinda crying while watching the ballad
Anyone notice the soloists kind of rushing in the ballad? They recovered and then they got off from eachother again.
It's still really good I thought though
MaRynne Robertson it still is yeah. Never said it was bad it’s just not as clean as some other runs
