Carolina Crown 2023 || Aged Out Reacts

Need to drink CROWN ROYAL🥃 while watching CROWN 👑

I think a lot of these members are young so it should be fun watching this program grow in the future if they can retain their membership.

Really aprecite you guys featuring such a diverse sampling of groups and styles! This year seems incredibly stacked with outstanding lines and Crown is for sure one of my favorites. Love the rhythmic, dynamic, and expressive challenges throughout the book.

I think it is great to teach this kind of technical approach because these guys will use that much more when they are playing an orchestral or jazz gig on a concert snare or timpani or mallet instrument. So, educationally I think that is excellent. However, cleaning that and getting everyone to play that way while running out there…omg!!! And I totally agree that compared to the other top lines they are not throwing down the flam vocab that I personally love to hear. Great video guys. Thanks.

Love the energy from the tenor guy with the glasses

Really enjoyed the discussion of Mike Jackson's writing style in this one. It's so fascinating to dissect a group's style and what makes it unique/challenging, and I think Mike's work is a really interesting case study in particular. Would love to hear more of that with other groups and writers!

You guys would make EXCELLENT adjudicators…💯

The one thing about them... They playing the shit outta them drums 😂😂

Center snare blink count: 0 😳

As a fan, I really wanna see a Mike Jackson book win something, whether it be indoor or drum corps. I think he has to tone it down JUST A LITTLE to allow more consistent execution at a high level. His writing is so intriguing. It deserves a trophy honestly, but it's so hard to consistently execute his stuff. 😭😭

At 13:07 they decrescendo and crescendo through moving up and down in that body crazy

I’m digging Jackson’s writing style. So much nuance and modulation demand.

Sometimes I feel like Mike Jackson's books are like Wes Anderson films; there are things that each one does all the time. You know what you are going to get.

Mike Jackson is obsessed with the number 3

Great pod like always fellas!🤟🏾🍻💪🏾🥁

HOT take: if cavaliers are scoring super high for what they're executing, crown should too. i think they're playing "space" as good as, if not better than, cavs. notes-wise, i don't think either are taxing hands tooooo much (cavs get the edge here, for sure, but i don't think cavs' book is PHYSICALLY terribly demanding....there IS demand, but it's very choosy/concentrated in spots( which is OK! playing to the sheets, etc is ok)) Jackson is obviously partial to injecting orchestral percussion influences into this book, and that's rad. Crown does let some easy stuff go, and that is aggravating to me, but the rhythms they are executing are super far out and deserve much applause.

This line has the unfortunate fact of writing above playing ability/approach. The book is great and they are REAL close Look forward to what this new approach will create in the years to come 🙏

At first I thought I was listening to the Blue Knights pre-covid.

As Billy Joel would say: Heading back to ALLENTOWN!

I feel like mikes outdoor books focus on purposeful beats and mixing with the overall ensemble more and less on just adding hard beats bc their hard. Very unique stuff
