Ah, I was at there. They played an amazing show that night.

@ThePhantomphan11 Disagree. Phantom's hornline has always been very good, but they could never quite achieve in recent years the "wall of sound" that Crown has. Blue Stars and Madison Scouts have, though. The secret? Donnie VanDoren.

Don't get me wrong; JD knows his stuff. But Crown's sound is like rich dark chocolate while Phantom's is like chunky peanut butter. People like both things....it just depends on your individual tastes. Gay-ass analogy, I know, but it gets my point across.

Quality of sound across the dynamic range is unmatched. Tone is characteristic in each section and as an ensemble. Blend is very, very close to what is being asked. Style and nuance are perfect, and tasteful. Musicality is on a level drum corps rarely sees.

But you know what makes this whole section of this show so impressive?

Control.

@ThePhantomphan11 Crown has parts that are a little sloppy and phantom does too...but tone and volume crown blows everybody away

[RJK0708]

@RTGUSAS I wonder what would happen if you mixed the two techniques, Reeses Peanut Butter brass.
