craiga Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 I don't get the entitlement some folks seem to have regarding any corps' repertoire. No drum corps is under any obligation, indirectly or not, to divulge anything about their show until they put it out on the field in June. If anyone is that hell bent on knowing what Corps X is playing, just jump on a plane and fly to a camp and help feed the kids or work on the fleet of trucks. Then, you'll hear and see first hand what they are doing. Back when I was alive, we relied on scant info in Drum Corps News and Drum Corps World all winter and spring. Sometimes, there may have been a standstill show in April somewhere...otherwise, we'd all wait until the first show in June. Every drum corps now is focused on learning their shows. In my mind, they have no responsibility whatsoever to the fan base until the first actual show. (As a Patriots fan, I DEMAND to know what Belichick is going to do in the Super Bowl....) :) Right.... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRASSO Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 The Boston Crusaders are shaping up nicely this offseason. Info on the Corps show, theme, music, etc will be publically released as Mgt. sees fit. That is entirely their perogative and in their domain and I will respect that decision. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like no information coming out from so many corps is having more of a curiosity effect on all the DCPer's. I do understand the corps reasoning. Some org's. don't want to hear silly pre-season critiquing. Others need to solidify the rights to play the selected music and others are holding out as their MM rosters unfold. If I were THAT curious though, I'd get my butt to a camp and help out. As far as Belichick goes; you get nothing because he is all business, doing his job. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brassdude6171 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Do people on dcp ignore the happenings of Reddit? Because someone put a post titled BAC 2017 and some coordinates which led to the Salem Witch Museum... certainly going along with the teaser posted earlier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRASSO Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I can confirm that the rumor that BAC will be doing a musical redo of the Blue Devils " Happy Days are Here Again " is false. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
