Carolina Crown 2009 rehearses sections of the show 7/16/09

[gu1tarh3r02]

A couple of Baritones and a few lead Sopranos stuck out SO much during that run. I hope it was only the wind

[Cadets98DG]

This is definitely not a great day for the brass. I know its an excuse, but I can tell you from experience that those mid-July days are the toughest. Hornlines always reach an awkward stage then. Who out there has that experience about the brass in mid-July. It just seems to get worse for a bit. And its hot and dusty. The worst. But I agree, a lot of ticks for one of the best hornlines in history.

[gagafan219]

there probably some old guy who lives in that and yell at them all day.

[the061593]

its cool to see dust and stuff being kicked up once they hit a halt

[AllStater09]

Boy they changed up the closer really good. I loved the final ending. Greatest show I've seen so far. Love it crown

[bchapm]

sounds like a couple of baritones were letting loose this rehearsal.....

[gatorsbrianz]

Ah, Texas.

[Cheesepie314]

Mello tag at 4:43

Loves it.

[stubbyt34]

there's nothing like rehearsing in a dust bowl. breathe deeply!

[MeatXLoverX69X]

should have gotten 1st. BD didnt deserve the 99

[emuman4evr]

3:30 to 4:08 and the end is my favorite part.

[patricksmith2]

i would give anything to live in one of those houses!!

[Piggie66]

less clothes are needed

[lolz989]

3:50 is my favorite part of their show. that whole trumpet lick

[dhouse876]

why does the hornline sound so bad in this video?? they usually sound terrific

[FrenticAmnesic]

I think a bit of it is the camera I used, and also the wind. I was sitting kinda high up in the bleachers, and it was a windy day. Kinda cut out some of the horn sound on the video.

It sounded fine in real life =]

[ptowndrummr]

they also dont practice at full capacity before a competition. if they did, they would kill their chops before every show.

[crazysnare]

they arent practicing at their full potential, because of the show later if they did they wouldnt be able to blow people away at the show!

[Burgerbob22]

@dhouse876 Also, it's really hot... the hornline is a good 15-20 cents higher than the pit, which really throws things off.

[fsmsg]

Although I am a BC drumline fan you guys at the Crown... Man you are bringing it this year LOL. They are one of the top 2 lines this year. I don't care what a judge says. Go Crown.

[MadCoSnareLine]

Well the judges said they were number 2...though...ahem...I feel they were number 1 material by far.

[FrenticAmnesic]

Along with the majority of drum corps fans ;)

And me, of course hahaha

[ChwyNiblet]

@MadCoSnareLine Their visual was WAY too dirty to be 1st. IMHO, as good as a hornline they had that year.

[MadCoSnareLine]

@ChwyNiblet

The center snare in this video (Sharif) was my snare tech this year at Scouts. He said he watches the finals DVD of this show and he doesn't know why they even got 2nd, and for the very reason you just mentioned. He said visually they were not even a "top 5 worthy" corps. So I will have to agree with you.

[mykltoo]

I'm an Alumni of Cadets w/a Music Education degree. Love it keep it up. Albeit I love my Cadets. You guys have a lot going on here. There's nothing like a little competition. Good work.

[behold888]
