My son made Crossmen in 2016 as trumpet. He was 16. The boy that left was not recognizable when he came home. He said it was the best experience of his life.

"Family channel, guys, family channel"

That 2010 Crown line is what exposed me to DCI. I watched those videos for years and tried my best to imitate you guys in my playing.

alright, here's my proudest tour moment.
Carolina Crown 2016. Morning of the San Antonio free day. We arrived at a laundromat to do laundry, but unfortunately the Bluecoats had gotten to the same laundromat right before us and took up every single washing machine. I was really stubborn and impatient, so I checked google maps to see what else was around. Right across the street there was a manual car wash, the kind where you put money into a machine and spray soapy water all over your car. In a "fuck it" moment, I took my laundry over to the car wash, put a couple quarters into the machine, put the nozzle into my mesh laundry bag, and absolutely let loose on all my dirty clothes. Once they were pretty thoroughly cleaned and scrubbed I switched the setting to rinse and then got all the soap off. I went back to the laundromat and was the first person of either drum corps to get my clothes into a dryer.

I marched 2010 Bluecoats and our two corps were very competitive throughout the season.

There was a show we were both at and Bluecoats were going on first.

At the starting gate, we were waiting to go in and Crown’s pit had just pulled up.

Our Horn Sargent turned to the corps to get us hyped before we walked on. He yelled, “THERE ARE NO SECOND CHANCES, LETS GO BLOOO”

Really funny then, really funny now.

Thanks for story time with sfz!

I remember sitting at the gas station across the park from Allentown and hearing the crown tubas from this show during the opening impact. One of those moments I'll never forget.

[whodat]

I marched Crown in 2023. Ryan is one of the best people we ever could have had on admin staff

Dang I didn’t know you marched a year with Carolina Crown. I started watching your channel when I was like 12 as a young rudi-lad and was taught by Evan Worrell, leading to me watch this line on YouTube plenty, so it’s cool to realize this connection 14 years later.

[MichaelMegaX]

Love hearing tour stories and everyone's experiences with the activity. Thanks Eric! I marched Oregon 2018 (rip), and will absolutely never forget it!

[natek]

They did y'all so dirty with all the rewrites that year💀💀

[Jayhadd]

Never marched Corps but I was in the best shape of my life during Marching band… was blessed to have drum instructors that did March for Madison, Phantom, and Cavis. So we got treated they way they were just treated on Tour. No nonsense and very disciplined.

I didn't realize Lee was your caption in 2010. I marched snare for him 13 years before that. He always scared me, especially after that one time he called me a tree head and said to never play a roll that bad ever again....I didn't. He's absolutely the best, and I'm super thankful to have played his book!

8:40 I marched Crossmen this past year, and I don't really buy that this was a rule. They told us this before the season, but in practice we hardly slept. I wore my smart watch all season that tracked my sleep and it said I averaged 5 ½ hours of sleep all summer. Also, google maps tracked everywhere I went at what times and it tracked about the same.

I was there in the mellophone section and can confirm, the only sections that were originally planned were the preshow and the opening Khachaturian movement. However, Khachaturian was meant to be later in the show.

Originally we were playing music from Bernsteins 2nd Symphony and the ballad was Rachmaninoff Symphony 2 mvt. 3

[kivintorres]

I was a sophomore as a percussion, music major at Gardner Webb in 2010. Listening to Crown ebery Summer was always a highlight. Good memories.

[Scrubeez]

Cool we aged out the same year. I marched 2003-2010 03, 04 Marion Glory Cadets, 05-07 Glassmen (I'm the trumpet soloist in the 07 show), and finished out my career at. Bluecoats 08-10. I never had any idea about the rewrites y'all went through, but in 09 our drill writer apparently ghosted the admin staff and two of them ended up writing our drill 20 pages at a time during spring training. It was an interesting experience, and I really think it contributed to how well prepared/ how cohesive our design for 2010 was.

I was at semi and finals night in 2010. I remember the rush of people coming to help the mello player. I also saw him try hard to drag himself off the field. It was one of my favorite shows of the season!

[anakinsworld]

I am a freshman going into marching band and band camp is so tiring here’s the schedule and tell me if it’s easy or hard compared to your high school. 7:15 Roll call. 7:30 be ready on grid/field (marching). 10:30 go inside for rehearsal. 11:00 - 12:30 P.M. lunch. 12:30 - 2:00 section rehearsal. 2:00 - 4:15 full band rehearsal. 4:15 - 4:30 reminders/questions. Leave at 4:30 (I live near Fort Worth in Texas)

Amazing how far Crown has come since I was in. 1990 at the park across from Memorial Stadium in Charlotte. Good times!

[NASHVILLENEIGHBORHOODS]

You marched with my best friend, Tony. He played snare on the end closest to the tenors. I have or had so much footage from the 2010 season from coming out and watching you guys perform.
