DCFAN Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Does anyone know if Chuck will still be writing for Crossmen? I saw that he is teaming up with Jason at Colts. I also hope that they announce a brass caption head soon. At this point it looks like Colts, Pacific Crest and Troopers are going all out to challenge for a top 12 spot. I am afraid that without the right changes in brass and visual they are going to struggle just to make the top 16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillH Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I am 95% sure he will be writing for both, but I will let him answer when he shows up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man it would be incredibly hard to see Chuck writing for both Colts and Crossmen... that is pretty close to an untenable position, and he has always seemed to be a classy guy. Personally not seeing it, and agree with you that this corps I followed all year and liked a lot may have lost the strongest part of their staff in the brass people.

3rd&10 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Chuck Naffier staying with Crossmen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cixelsyd Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 He has arranged for multiple corps in the past, but I doubt any of them were in such close competition with each other as Colts and Crossmen are likely to be in 2014. Then again, the 1st and 2nd place corps in 1972 had the same brass arranger... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbones7480 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Listened to a couple Bones Hour pod casts and Naffier wasn't mentioned. But they did say that Tim Green is staying on as percussion caption head, but that Lee Beddis WILL NOT be writing for them in 2014. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFAN Posted September 13, 2013 Author Share Posted September 13, 2013 Who is left on the design team? I would have hoped that for the 40th anniversary of the corps some program ideas would already be underway. As a fan I am concerned that they are now behind a lot of other corps just on the staffing side. Like I said before they needed to address the visual package and now it's brass and percussion designer. I don't like the way this is starting to sound!

They could always ask Hannum for percussion arrangements. He's a Bones Alum. Same with Hopkins; yea, he definitely will tell you he know's a lot about show designing. There are a lot of Bones alumni currently teaching/designing/judging. Doesn't just have to be the Texas band crowd, does it now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFAN Posted September 13, 2013 Author Share Posted September 13, 2013 Mark Thurston would also be a good choice if they could talk him out of retirement! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
