  1. I have to admit that when I first saw these I thought it was the Blue Devils...The "True Blue Crusaders" is in reference to the words of the corps song "Giant" that is sung before every performance... This corps is made of GIANTS We will never die For we are Crusaders True Blue Crusaders We are Crusaders Corps We Love Corps We Love
  2. I have not been to finals since 2008. That was when finals was in Bloomington while the "oil can" was still under construction. Phantom winning that year still goes down as the most exciting finals for me in all the years I attended and prior. I haven't been all that impressed with Indy as a vacation destination though. Years prior when the finals moved around to different places in the country, I would go for a vacation. That said, I try to attend at least 3 or 4 shows in-person every year. I've had flomarching from their beginning as well. When I lived in the Northeast, I would usually attend Allentown, perhaps a Boston show or two depending on the year, and a Cadet show in New Jersey or Philly area...Now that I live in the south, I go to Atlanta regional (and/or other small local), MTSU, and occasionally Crown's show. To answer the OP's question. I don't think I will ever "pull the plug". I get way too much enjoyment from drumcorps to stop attending even with all the changes that occurred since my days of marching corps. I think though, in order for me to make the trip to finals itself again, my beloved corps BAC would need to be in real contention for a DCI title. I'd like to feel that in-person and definitely would make the trip to Indy to experience that.
  3. I find it ironic that their board member William Huston was named as one of "Investopedia’s Top 100 Most Influential Advisors of 2022"... On another note...SCV was also delinquent in State filings in September of 2021... I just feel so sad for the members...hope they find another home for this summer if they choose to march...
  4. It says the tickets go on sale December 5th though...
  5. Interesting...Atlanta regional outside again at PARC....not at Mercedes-Benz...
  6. It's very cool knowing that some of you were reading our posts on here. I meant every word. All of us definitely were with you all the way from start to finish. You are indeed a GIANT. Perhaps we may run in to each other at a BAC alumni event in the future.
  7. If they changed it to that in your hypothetical...I guarantee BD would adjust to that and win again....LOL
  8. To The Crusader Family, I have to say. Here I am almost 24 hours later from that glorious victory last night and it STILL hasn't registered how wonderful this season has been. I've had tears of joy for you all day. Of course, this year has been unlike any year I've seen for decades. While I can't get together to celebrate in person with you, I don't want this week to go by without letting each and every one of know just how proud I am of what you've done over the last six years, and especially over these last several months. You've all worked hard to succeed, both on the field and off with a clear vision for this organization. You're GIANTS and will help to cultivate the next generation of Giants for the Boston Crusaders. You're leaving a legacy that will be remembered for years to come.
  9. George Zingali Best Colorguard Winner 3-peat !!! The beginnings of a DYNASTY!
  10. You nailed it! @BlueStainGlass Congratulations Blue Stars on your highest competitive placement since 1977 and highest World Class Finals score of all-time!
  11. I predict that @Terri Schehr deserves free pizza...
  12. As I mentioned in the predictions thread,@Terri Schehr I think someone owes you free pizza! 🙂
  13. When it happens.. Please please please let it NOT just be a tie 🙂
  14. Congratulations to BD btw! I bet that 20th title felt great. I really love BD's SWAG... Now only if BAC can just pluck them off the score board...Hope I don't have to wait too much longer for it to happen...Please be sooner rather then later!
  15. Why even have a competition?...Let's all just have a big celebration like last season and give everyone a participation trophy...
  16. So I guess you are saying that SCV who got 4th in 2001 should have been GIVEN it anyway when BD and Cadets tied for 2nd as well...
  17. Since I got yelled at last season for not starting this thread soon enough. While the results of 2022 are still fresh I am beginning a new thread! Crusader Traditions "Conquest" The Boston Crusaders first performed Alfred Newman's "Conquest" from the 1947 swashbuckling motion picture, Captain from Castile, in 1969 and repeated it in 1970. The corps brought the tune back in 1973 and 1974, then performed it as a part of their show every year from 1976 through 1990. Since then, "Conquest" had become a signature piece for the Crusaders. Waldo The Boston Crusader's symbol is King Richard's split-tailed lion. Affectionately known as "Waldo", the lion can be seen on all of the corps' vehicles, on the corps members' jackets, on corps merchandise, and as tattoos on many members and alumni of the Crusaders. "Giant" The Crusaders' corps song "Giant" is based on the main theme from the 1956 movie, Giant.
  18. I've been doing a little bit of celebrating over here... I didn't get a chance to congratulate ALL of the corps tonight including those that performed in prelims and open class as well. You made my summer a real blast! I love you all from the bottom of my heart!!! p.s. Did the prediction thread start yet?....LOL
