Another cool show from Crown. I really liked the costumes and the color pallet. The brass was amazing as always and the guard was on point. The percussion played really musically and it was a great show from beginning to end.
I really appreciate all of you watching and supporting this channel. Please make sure you tune into the weekly podcast for 2 old guys talking about stuff!

This show took a while to grow on me. To me, this show gives off the vibes that "Beast" was supposed to. I love it so much. I agree that the show is very synth heavy, unfortunately the live mixing can be lackluster. However, seeing this show in person, everything was mixed so beautifully. Even though the official audio of this show has some issues, A fan went through and fixed it and it sounds a lot better. That has given me a new appreciation for this show, Especially musically. I hope crown continues upward!

[@Connor01]

The synth issues were an issue with flo that night. Sounds great in all other recordings + in person

[@Ovunix]

Great video I always love to see people react to DCI shows because it gives a wider perspective on what others think!

[@MarchingArtsNetworkTV]

Thanks a lot. I appreciate it.

[@bw6480]

Agree with you on the heavy synth - maybe it was picked up more by the recording mics than it was heard live, don't know, I never got to see them live last year. Nice analysis on your part! This show had it all - I thought it was a really great production. Such a culmination of talent, from the designers, techs, and marching/playing members. To me, it was a very memorable show from beginning to end, so kudos to them!

[@deadshotATX]

the synths were definitely way too hot on finals night from flo. the balance was substantially better in person

[@ScrappyNicko]

Gotta Love Crown’s Hornline!!! I felt the same way about the soloist using conventional instruments vs marching instruments. And they’re mic’d up 🤦🏻‍♂️. Regardless Crown does an Excellent job with those intricate Hornline runs!!! Thanks for the video!!! -Nick Giardiello

I, honestly, don't know how judging can be done from the sidelines. I understand why, but as precise and "perfect" as the top 10-12 can be, I believe that being in the mix gives a better perspective of the performance than away, on the sidelines. Great video, thank you!

[@Bryce1218]

Crown actually had a lot of throwbacks in this show like those couple of mello licks in the closer that were a throwback to 2013 and 2015

[@aaronwitten]

I like the special synth effects during the show -- the Bjork overlay, the harp glissando toward the end, the organ in the middle -- all non-traditional instruments for drum corps that gave their show a little more period feel. But, I did agree with you -- you arguably have the best horn line in DCI, why hide any part of it by an overpowering sound system? Love the show more every time I see it. So much harmonic depth. Didn't like it much on first listen, but like it more and more as I repeat as I catch new textures, dissonances, and riffs that I feel only CC can pull off. Looking so forward to CC 2024!

[@MarchingArtsNetworkTV]

Thanks so much. There were a lot of cool things in the show,but the basics (hornline) were covered.

[@jacksondesroches1107]

@@MarchingArtsNetworkTV the synths arent nearly as loud in the semifinals flo recording, its definitely a flo issue

[@mbmaccin555555]

its too bad flos audio is terrible, cuz this show live is insanely loud and more balanced. the audio sounds so bass heavy here

[@josiah9008]

It's a great show. But In my opinion the staging of the drumline should have been in the backfield during the tuba feature.

[@ScrappyNicko]

I agree that sometimes it feels like the Drumcorps is like a back up singer to the synthesizer 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@definitelynotcainan3353]

A nice show that had the potential for me to be a truly epic show but overall I thought it was a bit of a swing and a miss. WAAAYYYYYY too much synth. I am not anti electronics until the electronics stop being an addition and become a distraction. This is Carolina Crown... Gods Hornline... let me actually HEAR them! If I was passing out letter grades.... Perfomance an A... design... a C.

[@squillz8310]

Im assuming you didn't see the show live then?

[@definitelynotcainan3353]

@@squillz8310 to be fair, no I did not... Perhaps the Flo audio mix wasnt fair to them.

[@george9065]

this was the fault of FloMarching, not crown's live mix

[@milescumminski8077]

I really loved Crown's show except for the heavy electronics use supporting the low brass. For me it was too much.
