I didn't read the whole thread, but I really think that this is great news for the Crossmen. Mark Chambers is an amazing director (I have friends that went to Reagan HS) and his band is one of the top in the state of Texas, I have a lot of respect for their program. Drawing from the talent in Texas will be great, with some awesome schools in San Antonio and Austin, an hour away as well as some major universities (UNT, UH, UT Austin). I really think that this can only be good news for the Crossmen, seeing as they weren't exactly booming in the northeast, especially with the saturation of corps. Also, getting away from The Cadets can only help them.
Oh, and I'm sure we can exepct some awesome show designs and music if the design team from Reagan moves over. Yes, they are a BOA band, but from a HS band perspective, they are definitely one of the most innovative HS bands out there with some AWESOME music. They aren't hard agressive jazz, more of a symphonic jazz sound, and they play all kinds of music.
Good luck Crossmen!
