1966 BOSTON CRUSADERS
I must admit they played, and "it was"
"a very good year" for the BAC. I know,
I competed against Boston in 1966.
Early in the 1966 season St. Kevin’s, The Reveries
and St. Mary’s all beat Boston ONCE at the same show.
BAC went back and changed their whole show and
we St. Kevin's would NEVER beat them again, that year
or any year. St. Mary’s or the Reveries, also would never
beat them again.
Imagine, on a Saturday night in June of 66 The Crusaders found
themselves rated forth against local corps. Boston had re-claim
the Best in East title over the past two seasons, what was this all about?
The Cru went back to Boston and practiced, practiced, practiced,
changing their whole show. Boston then went on to become
the Best in East again, and rated by some as the best in the country,
and second nationally by others. Boston would also Win the
CYO Nationals and World Open in 1966. Second, of course at A.L. Nationals.
The 1966 would later be know as, and called the final building block
of the 1967 corps, the 67 corps is consider by many as one of the
Best Corps Ever. Great Corps, Great Year, Outrageous Drum Line!
Yes, 1966 "It was a very good year" for BAC
