Boston Crusaders double bass drum in 1967, played (and carried by) Anthony Smith, future BAC Visual Designer, Corps Director, DCI/DCA/WGI judge, and long time consultant for BD. Boss Annova can probably post a pic of this!

Figured I would go ahead and start up this corps thread for 2023 since I just found out that my son was contracted to march contra for the Mandarins!
The Fro is headed north to Sacramento for 2023!
So proud of my boy!
See you all in Indy!
Go Mandarins!
@Chief Guns I heard the Mandarins have a requirement that parents of a rookie must do at least 2 weeks of tour that includes a trip to the east coast. 😉 Is that true?
And, Congratulations!!

I was told once that while in the Boston area, the corps mm were taken on harbor cruises.
It was an annual tradition for several years, pre-covid. Done in collaboration with the Crusaders Senior Corps, it gave the groups a chance to bond - old school/new school

I also heard from a 2022 MM that they spent 5.1 mill on the A corps mid season.3 hours ago, IllianaLancerContra said:How on Earth could $5,100,000 be spent mid-season?
I may have met fighterkit once, so I can't say that I really know them. And I certainly don't speak for them.
My interpretation of their comment is that at mid-season they had a conversation with an SCV mm and heard that Vanguard was spending 5.1 million on the A corps for the entire 2022 season (not just to the mid-season point).
In my opinion, it's the only possible thing that makes sense.

Forgive me. Given the wild world we live in, I guess I momentarily, but blissfully, forgot about the pandemic... of all things. Thanks @contraguard05and @Barneveld. 😞I'm usually better about affording some grace to VMAPA for decisions made during that time.
You're welcome! No worries, I also have the occasional bout of CRS (Can't Remember Sh..) 🤣

They did come up with a sort of production, they just didn't go to Indy. Not sure if members were charged to be a part of it.
I forgot about that. Maybe because a full "typical tour" wasn't done, a partial refund was issued?

Back to the 990... specifically page 28, Part X, number 5: "Refunds due to members" is $75k. What's that about? Remembering this is the 2021 filing... so it can't be from this off season's audition fee refunds. Is this line item or amount common? I get that this is a drop in the bucket, I'm just curious. Paging @Richard Lesher.
Just a guess from an outsider.........
When Covid cancelled the 2020 season, many corps allowed members to apply those fees, already paid, to the 2021 season. I'm guessing SCV did the same.
When Vanguard didn't come out in 2021 refunds might have been issued?

We absolutely have two examples of corps with bad management, which is precisely why they are allegedly broke. Both of the corps are renowned, in fact for mismanagement, so neither will come as a surprise to anyone.
I would place at least 6 of the current world class corps in that category.

Anyone know when finals tickets go on sale and when the site will be back up? Not able to view your schedules for days now 😢
According to ticketbastard, finals tickets will go on sale Monday, December 5th at noon. I'm not sure, but guessing that's the eastern time zone.

Posted today on Inspire Arts and Music's (Boston Crusaders parent organization) Facebook page
Earlier this week, Inspire Arts & Music visited Boston Prep in Hyde Park to introduce our new after school music program! Through this new partnership, hundreds of local high school students will have the opportunity to take private and group music lessons for free with the Inspire Arts instructors!
We can't wait for lessons to begin later this semester and to hear what these students will create!
