Perfectly timed DCI announcing (Carolina Crown 2011)

I don't know where the original video of this went on youtube so I reuploaded it.

[@S7phirothGaming]

Crown isn’t the best drum corps but their brass has always been untouchable

[@Iplayquad]

Crown brass, SCV percussion. Unstoppable

[@tannerlebo9862]

Indeed, and their SCV Percussion is insane

[@Iplayquad]

@@tannerlebo9862 you just mean scv percussion?

[@samsignorelli]

BD and their 24 brass titles would like a word.

[@Idsayenneykay]

I've always felt that phantom had the best blend, bd the best auxiliary and trumpets. Crown has been great but they've never really stood out to me

[@johnnyutah482]

Possibly the greatest DCI Opener...ever!!

[@daviewood7463]

carolina crown is definitely one of my fav dci bands, their shows are so unique and they always sound so full and strong

[@JayJ_]

I think I get why my Band Director Loves Carolina Crown so much. He got inspiration for our show this year from E=MC^2 and I can see that he got inspiration from last years from this banger of a show.

[@JDK45ACP]

Yeah, that was a sweet opener.

[@mykelfam6984]

I would argue that the best announcement placement is right before the first impact, not during. An example is Tilt's first impact. Obviously that's a sample but that has so much more effect.

[@MrGatlin98]

They time these announcements on purpose. I was in college marching band and the announcer has a script. The band director will look at the script and find a "cue" for the drum major in the band to listen for. It is timed perfectly so the announcement happens on the downbeat.

[@michaelmeyer2725]

And Brant Crocker is one of the best.

[@voiceofreason9238]

When the announcer yaps through the opening hit ruining it, that is pretty much the definition of the WORST timed announcement.

[@MaxisaBandKid]

As a band kid, I love this, but hate it.

[@greenie9566]

this is a pre-show so they played way before the intended time and the announcer cant not announce the band so they have to despite them playing it

[@chymnster4445]

unpopular opinion: I don't think this is the best announcing

[@blueanimule9548]

Nope, you are nitpicking and biased, metamorph is the best moment. I win, bye bye.

[@cartoonpower0]

Actually, I would not consider metamorph to be a "moment", because it is an entire show. Now there is no way to perfectly define a moment, but metamorph is made up of multiple movements, with clearly defined stops and starts. Therefore I think it would be very hard to define the whole show of Metamorph as a singular moment, whereas this was just a short part (moment) of the whole Coralina Crown show, and while on average each of metamorphs moments may have been cooler, this one moment was cooler than any of Metamorphs moments. Also, I said "imo" (in my opinion) after I said coolest DCI moment ever, so it really doesn't matter if I'm biased and nitpicking or not. This is my opinion as the coolest DCI moment ever. You don't have to agree with my assessment, but it doesn't matter, because it's my opinion. So, yea I think it's actually you who was biased because you were biased against this title because you did not agree with my assessment as this being the coolest DCI moment ever. So, you actually did not win, you lost, you mega lost, you came nowhere close to winning, and with a mindset like yours, you will never come close to winning any arguments. So yea, think again before you say something stupid kiddo, bye bye.
