Carolina Crown 2022 Brass (hammer drop)

[@brown55061]

One of the best teachers in all of DCI. He gets the most out of the kids every year. It's all about the FOCUS!!

[@bradenlockett5683]

Not a teacher

Not dci either

[@JS-hu7pv]

@@Mrtellitlikeitis I’m curious as to your background, what you do for a living, who you marched with, what instruments you play, if you’ve ever interacted with the Harloffs, etc.? Anyone with that much hatred for a person or group must have a reason.

My God! Does any other Hammer Drops like Carolina Crown? I got goose bumps.

[@Mrtellitlikeitis]

I threw up

[@ko-g7392]

That release at 2:44!

[@ThatIsJustCrazyTalk]

With such a powerful and great playing horn line it makes one wonder why they screw up the sound with all the electronics and voice overs. SMH

[@hittle_ethan]

This will never not be amazing

[@tangomangotiff]

i was in the battery that year, and i literally shedded a tear at the impact

[@RobertMacCready]

Think I've played every recording on stinktube and they all are amazing!!!

[@RussellKasem]

That sounds a heck of a lot like Cavaliers 2002 ballad.

[@KiranSundarkdog97]

Yeah, the progressions are similar!

Cannot hear the brass when people in the stands are yelling. Too bad

That's why they need amps. G lines overwhelmed crowd noise.

[@shadowbanned2596]

Ah the whirring of amplifiers. Am I getting ready to see a punk band? Nope, this is what dci has become. Most shows use the horn line as an accompanist to the spit coming out of the speakers.

[@pgagne1]

What you are hearing is the sound of the stadium lights at Gardner-Webb University, not the amplifiers. I was there a year before and they are annoying.

[@Lacheddar1990]

Just play the rest of the Carolina on my mind tag. It’s a tease to start with it and then throw the hammer down with random high brass and chord progression. I never understood this about crown. Their lots are too technical and not fun. Play your corps song, play the promise of living, play the chandelier tag, play something to loosen up, instead you drop the hammer with a weird chord progression every year. I love crown but never enjoyed their horn lots because so uptight.

[@goldfishkaden1539]

Homie it’s gods hornline for a reason they are without fail the best hornline each and every year. You can’t not enjoy this it’s literally their staple

[@goldfishkaden1539]

also this is more valuable than their corps song to a lot of the people. I can’t tell you the corps song for any corps except blue devils. But I know for a fact almost ever dci fan knows crowns hammer drop

​@@goldfishkaden1539 really? you don't know cavies' rainbow? or spirit's georgia? or madison's may you never walk alone? those are iconic, historic songs played by those corps, most people who follow the activity are familiar with them

[@BluesClues2s]

@mark lacheta it is fine to have this opinion but I am not ever going to criticize Matt Harloff's process for making this hornline what it is. The hammer drops are always specific chord progressions from the show to perfect the tuning

[@raypeery6317]

It's nice, but G lines blew that away with fewer horns.

[@jameseuph642]

They certainly did not.

[@raypeery6317]

Yes, they did. Why else did they need to expand the numbers AND add amps? Because it's not powerful enough. Simple.
