It seems like even the weather was a part of this show. The clouds darkened the field at 5:32 . It was on the mark and right on time too.

Imagine living in a nearby house

I wish other percussion manufacturers like Innovative or Pro Mark would go through the trouble of following the corps they sponsor to create as much content as Vic Firth does. I'd LOVE to see the behind the scenes type stuff for the Bluecoats, BD, or Phantom.

I swear I can't tell the difference between crown's drumline and brass in terms of musicality. No clue why the judges don't appreciate the drumline's flexibility in terms of their emotion just because their diddles aren't extremely fast and extremely numerous... My favorite show of the year for sure.

Cloud crew coming in strong at 9:40

I hope they knew they had the best show...

This wasn't the most complex music this year, but by far my favorite. I wish they had won and think they should have topped BD for sure.

The cloud cover coming in at 9:46 was an awesome visual. Did anybody else notice that?

This is my favorite opening hit of any show. I've literally seen it 500+ times.

2:29 Bless you

As a 12 year old kid (now 91) taught drums the wrong way, I am awestruck by these young people.

Anyone else hear the show playing over from the start super softly in the background at 8:09 and on?

i didnt even know the color guard wasn't there untill i read some comments LOL

also sobbing at their el tango de Roxanne omg

0:11 is my guy really out here posing as a cactus

The last 45 seconds of this show is the most incredible thing I have ever heard to this day. Truly amazing!

So this is what drum corps looks like without colorguard, interesting.

So in love with this show! I watch it several times a week still! 👑 has the Gold in my heart!

Might not be the most difficult show from that year, but it is probably one of everyone's favorites

Their nearly flawless execution leaves me in awe every time.

Hands down my favorite music of any DCI show over the years! It is just so good! Everything about it is spectacular! The entire show is captivating! Have listened to it many times and still immensely enjoy it every single time! Can't say that about many shows! Go Crown!

Every time the ballad plays I get a musical experience like none other

Mello and trumpet stuff from 3:14-3:37 is simply amazing. Incredibly accurate and rhymically smooth. The brass are truly legit.

At this stage of the season, they could go out on an unmarked grass field and give a great performance. Muscle memory! The Bartok is awesome.

I'm so happy to work for this Band. And god bless you!!

Hands down the best show in 2016!!

Crowns openers are the best by far

I have watched this so many times I is so good

YES MY TROMBONE FRIEND! High Bb to the high G. Amazing

Really cool that a cloud came over them during the ballad

The timing on the clouds doh 👌

Best trombone feature ever. Even better than metamorph.

Was going to comment "Bless you" but then the first comment I saw was that 😂

I can't help but think of Shrek in the ballad

i was introduced to DCI in 2017 so i didnt even know the ones before but movement 2 @ 2:53 - 5:31, movement 3 @ 5:33 - 8:10, and movement 4 @ 8:13 - 10:59 are absolute fire for me. probably one of my favorite shows now

Cloud covering at 2 46 was amazingly timed with the music

I like how the clouds started to cover the sun right as the vocal effect came in @ 5:32

Me and my dad are Bloo fans and when we heard their show, we thought the Coats might loose to them. They got best music and analysis finals night, as well as scored second in everything else. We were shocked that they lost to BD. Really disappointing that their percussion caused it too.

Great work, everyone!

That cloud timing was purty clean

THAT WAS AWESOME!

the cloud knew the assignment😂😂😂

Back in the day there were so many jr and senior corps where have they all gone

6:02 Crown stole my Heart. That part of the show is Amazing

favorite dci show

Awesome editing guys!

I love crown

thank you for giving us what FoulMarching won't

impresionante!! saludos desde El Salvador

4:56 ouuuuccchhh that crack hurts my soul ;-;

the crown came to my school

WOW !!!

1:54 just gave me an eargasm

Such a nice brass band

5:27 Battery Caption Head on the ending 6 hits: 1) nice 2) Nice 3) NICE 4) NICE!!! 5) F***! 6) Nice "Okay almost got it there"

wish my high school band gave 100% like Carolina crown. only about 80% give their all :(

Where are de fuocking flag-wielding guardians of color

at 2:50 that cloud came in at the perfect time, added to the effect

That opener hits different now that Morricone is gone.

Just now noticed someone misses the stepoff at 4:40. Side 2, 25 yard line, back hash

5:30 to 8:10 is the best part of the show in my opinion

They should have beat bd

7:00 through 8:09 is my favorite part

Those clouds came over at just the right moments lol

Cloud at 9:35? Neat!

Timpani is one of my techs!

Great video but i wish i could see the snare cam or a zoom on the snares at the end part.

Wow

The chords at 2:54 give me chills

GO BASES! CROWN IS STEPPING UP !

cool

The hit at 1:55 gave me chills

2:31, bless you

2019

7:30 a girl trips in the bottom right corner ish

That sneeze at 2:27 lol

10:12 sounds amazing

Cactus 🌵

5:27 The lady is aggressive and the guy is smiling. Are they playing the same music? hehe :)

is there anywhere i can find a snare part for 11:00

That's my School!

What kind of sticks did they use?? And why the athletic tape on them??

also why was one snare drummer holding traditional?

What was the name of the song the Mellows where playing in the very beginning?

Opening hit... Star of Indiana 1993. It's the exact same

Real question, where is the guard?

1:54

Hey it’s my tech!!!

I feel like I’m cheating on Bloo.

Heard 6:45 and was like "Ooo!!"

Where's the guard?

wondering how much they paid the clouds…

I’ve watched this video like 10 times and just now noticed that guard isn’t in this run. Cool, not to be mean, but I didn’t miss them in this run.

Why is there only one snare holding his sticks in matched grip at 10:00?

Where’s the color guard?

Can someone please transcribe the quad part for 11:24? I would really appreciate it

this was way better than Down aside Up

For personal use: 5:40

What school did they practice at?

This show had the strongest depth of concept of any drum corps show in history. In the early 2016 season, 49 people were slaughtered by a gunman in a Miami club. Earlier in the year, an knife wielding LaQuan Macdonald was shown on video being shot 16 times by a Chicago police officer. A rough way to start a drum corps season about a show with gun violence at its heart. Crown's show is a Western allegory centered around avenging the gun murder of a boy's father. (Even the cacti in the beginning poses are in a "don't shoot" stance.) At the end of this story, a son decides whether to murder his father's killer, or let him live. In the early season this show hypnotized throngs of second amendment good old boys into believing it was about simple revenge with a rifle. In the early season, many rural drum corps lunks even applauded when the son violently shot his father's murderer point blank at the end of the show. "Serves him right! Yeah second Amendment! Pass the beer!" An early season theater broadcast of the show intentionally left out any closeup of the final revenge killing-- it was almost too brutal for general audiences. But it became clear that by the end of the season, the story had to evolve in order to retain any depth of concept score. By the end of the season, the son fights the killer but spares his life, not for any religious reason, but simply because it made him more merciful, powerful and transcendant. Although the girlfriend's imploring him was hokey in its staging, (and slightly underrehearsed) the message was clear. Gunowners need to step up and end the cycle of violence by giving up their guns. And if they don't, we're going to do it for them.
