bluebellbrass07 Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 QUOTE (Sockercon @ Apr 28 2006, 06:07 PM) Did anyone else beside me yell out VANGAURD!! Haha, similar story with me. Nobody yelled the whole time. Then me and a group of 10 yelled Vanguard and the crowd seemed to get a little more into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danpod Posted April 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 The audience reaction for Carolina Crown was down right awful. Some people were laughing the whole time. Barely anyone clapped for them at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebellbrass07 Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 ^That same thing happened with our crowd. I could't help but chuckle once or twice, it being the first time id seen or heard the show, but everyone else was downright rude. We also had people talking and laughing the almost the whole time during the 70's and to an extent in the 80's shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnabetahi Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 I didnt like it when they made the loud parts softer... yea it seemed like a lot of parts of the planets and bluecoats 05 were softer then they shouldve of been, was pretty stupid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GCS-Euph Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 Just a little reminder that Michael Bui (Show of The Month Writer) and I (Host of The Danpodcast) will be at the Houston Marq*E theater in Houston, Texas. We'll be wearing our Txbands.com Badges before the show so keep an eye out for two handsome men outside the theater with lanyards around their necks! If you meet up with us, I'll be sure to give you a little gift card as a little thanks for supporting Txbands.com! Hope you see you folks there!!!!!! Enjoy the Classic Countdown and yes......You are allowed to lose your **** during the show We had a few folks outside the theater before hand passing out flyers for Gulf Coast Sound and I didnt see you guys. Where were you at? On the parking garage side or the side closest to I-10? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where were you at? On the parking garage side or the side closest to I-10? I think we saw you guys standing near Red Robin.

How can you NOT die there. If you have seen the show before. I am sort of glad that I did not go (it not like I could have anyways--came back from a music festival and then went to School Board meeting to help a friend). It seems like it was different from last year. Less crowd reaction and such. But hey...the DVD is out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidpowell Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 If you have seen the show before. Even then. I was sitting with all of our drumline staff and they were laughing. Its funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While you are entitled to your opinion, I do not find it funny. That show put them on the map. Their use of electronics (and its success) probably allowed for the Cadets and Bluecoats to do what they did this year. When you think of Crown, you think of two things: their brass line and Bohemian Rhapsody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you think of Crown, you think of two things: their brass line and Bohemian Rhapsody. "put them on the map" is a matter of point of view. the show that put them on the map was really 92, when they won div 2. Then making DCI Finals in 95, never to fall out till 02... then they were put back on the map with the most succesful show to date (at the time) 03 Bell-issimo. I think that 03 is extremely overshadowed by the success of 04, but 03 was probably one of the most (if not THE most) definitive shows for Crown. With a lot of corps, falling out of finals can be the kiss of death. fortunately that was not the case for Crown. -C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, if someone came up to you and told you something is "beatastic" in a stereotypical **** guy voice (no offense meant, you know its true), you wouldn't laugh? Don't take yourself TOO seriously now, bro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbui Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Okay, I'm going to clarify this...... David is right. I was at the Classic Countdown...people WEREN'T laughing at Carolina Crown's show. They were laughing at the guy doing their 'Beat Generation' voiceover. I even chuckled myself and I have seen the show millions of times. I talked to several friends that went to different theatres and the same thing happen at theirs. If you were at the Classic Countdown....you knew why people were laughing. If you weren't at the Classic Countdown, then yeah...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
