Not a fan of the show as a whole, but man Best ballad they've had in a long time, and that's not to say Crown has bad ballads (theirs are some of the best, bar none), but this one is REALLY good imo
This put Crown on my radar, I was a marching band geek way back but never got into DCI - but this is really incredible. Hell, I've since watched some of their tuning circle exercises - really fantastic. Would love to find a Hi-Fi recording of this to put through some good (big) speakers/headphones; I hope they put one out.
DCI usually releases an official recording a few months after the season is over. It's generally a really good recording and I love listening to it on my Hi-Fi setup. Really looking forward to the album version of Crown, Troopers, BD, and Bloo!
if you never got into DCI you were doing yourself a disservice. there have been countless incredible hornlines/recordings over the years. marching band is jack squat by comparison.
They have to get rid of the concert bass hit in the pit with the low brass "FF" entrance at 0:57...even though in time, it sounds like there is a timing flam...and every on-field video makes it sound worse.
Somehow I cannot see all of the replies here, and I accidentally deleted one of my own...*shrugs*...the result is the same. There is a perceived flam at the impact point and it needs addressing.
@@Sammy2Watkins No, not live. I made a philosophical choice to not attend shows anymore. I still like that the kids have these opportunities, but the activity has gone places that no longer interest me in entertainment value.
