I think they had a missed opportunity to add the 2013 Mello lick at 4:10 lol

[@MrDavegiven0330]

I've been saying that all year! What a missed opportunity. (They also did that lick in 2012, too).

[@nickniehaus1763]

Yo wtf why didn’t they?

[@Mattyfear]

We’ve been saying it all season. I wonder if the staff at least thought about it and tried it out during rehearsal cause it’d be surprising if we thought about it and they didn’t

[@safteytorch]

Fun fact, bass 5 actually marched tuba at Phantom in 2018 and Crown in 2019

[@loganlakedrums]

12:30 as the drumset player, this listening environment was hell 😂

[@Ray-km8zp]

are you guys planning on reacting to the 2024 shows

[@DieselChris7]

can’t lie this show was INSANELY hype to see in person on finals. and the hornline sounded phenomenal and well deserved of 1st that night. insane energy from every performer especially the drum major!

[@Splooie010]

Crossing my fingers for that Bluecoats Alumni performance video!

[@MiningSkullz36]

ONG I WANNA SEE THAT TOO!!!

[@Splooie010]

Yeah, something not judged, yet, arguably probably a surprise favorite among people that attended. I've always known that KZbin vids don't do any of these performances in drum corps justice, but man, was this at times hair-raising even through here!

[@lucasb3462]

Would be cool

[@lightninglive5944]

Same!

[@KevinGamin]

Seconded.

[@JohnBusinessman]

The soloists name is Jesse Saldana and he now is in the navy band.He is probably one of the best, most consistent trumpet player I have ever met

[@psychostatikk]

I know you guys typically focus on the higher scoring corps, but I'd love to hear yall's thoughts on some of the fan favorite shows from this year like Troopers or Phantom

[@Iplayquad]

Yes troop!

[@quillient7445]

I’ll second phantom, especially since these guys seem to like the more traditional style show like phantom ran this year.

[@liamallen2156]

Phantommmm

[@colbyhoskinson4946]

Yes! Even just the closers. I haven't seen all 12 shows, but they seemed to have the most exciting closers of anyone this season.

[@sleary6279]

@@Iplayquad Yes!!! Troopers!!

[@jackrogers3657]

Crown always is good about being so synchronous in time and not being afraid to be so spread out on the field for most of the show.

[@paulblichmann2791]

Less so now.... standards have dropped?

[@justinmeengs6523]

14:22 I was surprised none of my friends connected this part to downside up and I was the only one

[@JR_Productions816]

Wait what part of downside up did crown reference?

[@colinsullivan2847]

Relly cool to see brass players react to this show. I'm a drummer and you guys point out flaws I'd never even notice if nobody ever said anything. Love the vids!

[@Tenorboy29307]

Best trumpet soloist! So lovely! Not sure who he studies with, but he sounds like a Rommel kid! Just such a gorgeous sound!

[@ozzy6379]

he goes to IU so probably

[@EScottyBob]

It’s all about being in the moment, respectful of the difficult time corps have been through, happy to be competing again, the music speaks to that concept. You can see the crowd reaction and the flashing lights on their phones. This was a powerfully creative moment. I’m an old fart who got it the first time without scanning the app.

[@tonionknight7472]

and i was just struck by the cognitive dissonance of the “being in the moment” theme while also asking the audience to download an app on their phones during the show

[@braydengarland7502]

I really love this content and I’m so glad you guys are back making a lot of videos again!!!

[@davewroberts]

It's been a while since I've seen anyone march a hole in finals...Still a spectacular show!! Thanks for the reactions vid! Y'all are awesome!

[@vjay4461]

I was at the Eastern Classic and while BD won brass in the end, Crown is just so ridiculously loud, just on another level compared to everyone else

[@bysuke-]

6:35 The soloist broke their leg I think. I saw a gorpro cam and there was a trumpet in a cast.

[@jasminehodge58]

I was at the very (very) top and each night there were people around me trying and failing to scan the QR code ha ha. I already had the app downloaded so it was okay. Also, the app stopped working halfway through. Very, very cool in concept, even if a little rough in execution, in my opinion!! The show grew on me each night-it's quite joyous compared to some others. :)

[@Iplayquad]

What does the app even do?

[@jasminehodge58]

@@Iplayquad it interacts with the show. At the beginning when the recording says “scanning phones for everyone’s favorite song” it’ll play the song and a video. It gives instructions, like the part in the middle with the snapping. And then it accesses the flashlight, so it’ll flash in sync with the song, which you can kind of see in the finals video when it pans to the crowd. The beginning was fun when it worked! 😅

[@Guinman]

The app crashed for me in Atlanta, I'm still not even sure what it did.

[@Ovunix]

Phantom 2022?

[@vidalrodriguez2001]

I’ve seen this on a comment here, but yes Hebron 2021 I would definitely put on a “MUST WATCH” for you guys, even if it isn’t DCI, but high school. Aside from that, reactions to all of the top 12 corps from you guys would be so awesome, and all those would be “MUST WATCHES” as well!!

[@jackrogers3657]

This all the way ☝️

[@tredaviousbowser7931]

It’s crazy how good they are for a hs. Sound better than many corps

[@greywolf1524]

Great to see another reaction from you guys! Not my favorite Crown show by a long shot (can’t help but miss the old design team), but I still love the corps. Would love to see you guys react to BAC and Troopers!

[@prestonjones20013]

Their Brass at Finals had the highest score by any brass line since 2015. They really cleaned up, it was difficult, it was intense, it was loud. Everything you could look for. They’ve gotta do more to bring the intensity every night. It’s what ultimately lost them the Ott. (Along with the fact that there were some spots in the show that could’ve been harder)

[@baadach3752]

its sad that their show design single handedly held them back imo. They had one of the best ensembles crown has had in a LONG while this year, unfortunately the terrible design obliterated their placements. All that to say, give this exact same ensemble a better show, and they could have a legitimate chance at getting first even. WayyyyyyyyYYYYYYY too much narration and dub over in this show, just to start with.

[@AnthTony]

This was my favorite show, 100%

[@thecookingandcampingdrumme2245]

Nailed it guys......visually it wasn't clean enough to medal by a long shot. The drill to me wasn't executed enough with a several internal issues and alignment issues within the show. Entertaining, yes!! Chops from the Heavens, yes!! Drum line had some issues with timing, cleanliness, and demand........if this corps stays intact for 2023 and not a large chunk of ageists and beef up the show content higher they could win it all next year.

[@lukeroukoz8110]

But as an audience member, I would much rather see super difficult drill executed meh, than easy drill executed perfectly

[@bensonhimmy-eu2uu]

Can you guys react to troopers 2022

[@benstone4616]

React to the Phantom Regiment's show "No Walk Too Far"!!!! I'm the euphonium soloist and would love to hear what you guys have to say on the program! :)

[@definitelynotcainan3353]

I would REALLY like to see you guys react to Troopers.

[@jesuspectre9883]

This video is groundbreaking because it is one of the very first critiques that pinpoints Crown's lack of depth. This is one of the very first critiques that exposes the weakness of Crown's show which had no subject and theme. In all the professional arts, music is contextualized-- even if it is played in a concert setting. A composition always has some context-- purpose, point of view, social commentary or reference to outside works. But Crown’s compositions here are completely without merit because together, along with the visuals, they make no sense. They have no symbolic value, no reference to a larger subject matter, no higher purpose. And because the music is without context, and without meaning, it devalues the experience. The show is less enjoyable because it’s not smart. It’s not well thought through. The "Let me hear ya!" phone app and the silk tarps are without substance, and it deflates the emotional heft of the show, overall. Eventually, drum corps will evolve to the point where it recognizes that the thematic content of a show is its life blood. The subject matter and theme of a show tie everything together, make it smart, make it authentic, make it emotional, and give the music humanity and universality. Without a thematic context, a drum course show is nothing more than volume and technique. Which, if you think about puts this show on the same level as fast food and Magic Mike.

[@danielqcallahan]

I was in the upper section at finals with the app running. There were maybe 3 or 4 times during the show where it did something. I don’t know if it wasn’t working or if that was all it was supposed to do, but it felt like a whole lot of effort (and probably money) put into not much return. I definitely liked this show more live, but I’ve always felt like it just needed better editing.

[@JuanJimenez-od1ho]

Crown homer here. Effffffffff the dumb junior high level design. Quit wasting the talent that comes to Charlotte. The content is SO weak. Worst design in top 6! I feel bad for these kids paying all this money and being saddled by a 8th grade level design.

[@totesgene]

Agree. Their design staff is so desperate for a title that they designed a show that was complete overkill. The sensational brass and guard saved them from 5th or 6th. I hated this show.

[@richbrass12]

This show is like if white people did Holi day with brass instruments

[@Warmacred]

I'd like to hear your thoughts on some Cavies championship shows: 2002 - Frameworks, 2006 - Machine, 1995 - The Planets. Also, Bluecoats 2011 - Brave New World!

[@rock27272727]

Show was a ton of fun but yea the drill was never clean unfortunately. I watched the high cam for everyone during semis and it was pretty shocking especially the closer.

[@nsam85]

the spacing issues were so frustrating. The was a hole that night...but it was the same hole at the start of the season....they had plenty of time to fix that and yet they didn't. The hole wasn't the soloist's' either. I really hated the voice overs...during the performance they chanted "right here right now" 15 times. I would've rather heard the brass instead. Pretty sure the spacing issues played a huge factor in them not medaling. That's just my opinion. It sucks because they're my favorite corps.

[@crwnguy]

I’m sure your show designs have won multiple golds..

[@Masjag]

I’m not sure i agree with Cheesy comments. If we are going to talk Cheesy that’s pretty much every corps that uses narration or singers in my opinion. Bluecoats for example, cheese fest with the stupid story that just distracted from anything good they were doing. Phantom Regiment wins this year for most actual music played from start to finish. I’d like to see DCI go back in that direction and ditch all the cheese factor.
