skaynekurtis I am Sad no Drum Core this season and Cadets will never be that clean any time soon

Honestly my favorite part of this show

Wasted Rep 🍪

Where you WBA? Because I remember a band who played this as their closer and remember being jealous lol

Probably. However due to the copyrighted material used, this has been the only full show recording that has survived the last 5 years. It’s probably from finals week, which is good enough for me because it’s not getting taken down :)

Battery..... that’s how. They weren’t clean.

becuase DCI is fixed for BD to win

@@Lacheddar1990 ummm, ok. 🤣

Because if BD doesn't win the world stops turning.

Michael Reimer They are really emotional.

Not to mention the things we don’t get to hear in CD cuts because of red tape. I dig me some Beatles!

"hey guys welcome to ensemble let's start out with a full run"

What an important thing for people to understand that have never marched DCI or WGI. There is a competition and you want to win. But having an amazing performance, especially on finals, and to connect with your audience and everyone in your marching ensemble. Man. There is no trophy for that feeling or that effort. It transforms you. Thank you for an amazing performance

I always thought it was kinda shitty of them to make you stop playing and pick up the banner. I would wanted to keep playing personally.

They were clearly chearing for the giant tarp, not you.

@@drummersnare6276 jokes on you I was one of the banner runners

@@drummersnare6276 Don’t be butt hurt that you’ll never experience something like this.

You're comment makes almost no sense at all.

+karmew32 Not sure if it was true, but I heard Crown had quite a bit of rookie brass members. I'm sure they will return.

+karmew32 Um. Please tell me you're joking...no offense to Crown, they had a solid line this year, but their percussion was nowhere near the same level as BD/SCV/Bluecoats/Cadets. It wasn't one snare that screwed it up, either.

Not even close to the biggest upset ever.

@@cairnman100 what was the biggest upset?

+Jack Brainard You know I've heard this a few times, but I'm not sure how you figure this is the "home crowd" for Carolina Crown. Their home is over 500 miles away, and several other top 12 corps are much closer, including Phantom Regiment, Bluecoats, Madison Scouts, The Cavaliers, and the Blue Stars. If you mean it's simply closer than Concord California for the Blue Devils, you're correct, but this did not factor in the judge's decisions. The Bluecoats show this year was a huge crowd pleaser, and their home is among the shortest drives to the Indy competition. They performed fantastically, and nearly topped Crown, but still the crowd favorite this year was Inferno. This is nothing new in DCI. The crowd often favors someone other than the victor. It's a rare treat when the two are the same winner. I have great respect for all of these kids that work so hard, and the true winners are the fans who gets to reap the benefits of the blood, sweat, and tears put forth by the amazing musicians.

Jack I'll tell you something right now, for the amount of money people pay to go see these kids perform, DCI better pay attention to what's happening or they are seriously going to lose their fan base period. The best Corp doesn't always win, just go ask The 1993 Star of Indiana corp, who was undefeated all year long until the very last night of finals when the cadets beat them by a tenth of a point....

@@johnasher7510 Honestly Crown losing this year is what made that happen for me. The battery was barely worse than BD during their run, and Crown was basically leading the entire season until finals. It wasn't like 2013 where Crown was leagues above everyone else though, so they knew they could force BD to win again. The judges are biased no matter what toward them and will pull out any excuse to make them win despite their shows being boring and the fans starting to hate them.

Jeffery Bybee Nope. Sloppy drums kept that from happening.

Rogers Dynasonic yea drums! the only thing that matters! kill drum corps!!

actually they're just people who don't like them

brian head It's subjective. Did their drumline suck? Absolutely not, but they needed to be top 3 or higher to get it done this year. It's amazing they ever won a title with a 6th place drumline a few years back.

+brian head *visual analysis, not cg. CG was awesome.

+brian head Crown's drumline has consistently been their main weakness over the past several years. Finals night was no exception :/ And their guard had been 1st most of the season; I'm shocked that they didn't win best color guard

+Rogers Dynasonic I'm pretty sure judging is not subjective. But even if they would've received a perfect percussion score they wouldn't have surpassed the Blue Devils. And to be honest, I have enjoyed a CrownDRUMS book this much since 2009. THAT was an amazing year for percussion. Crown percussion was just great

+brian head Yes but this line was far superior to that of 13 or 14 (IMO)

I first saw the white fabric at Big, loud and live. They had an interview with one of the guy who took care of visual before the performance. He hinted that there will be a new fabric to the show. I freaked out, then I saw that. I was completely speechless.

+FAULT LINE Oh yeah he was in shock. he said it was one the best books he had ever heard in his life.
