I don't think you can put "revoke" in quotes like that when Crown used the word "revoke" themselves. They are revoking it...now whether it is okay to do something like that is in question. It seems like it was in the terms of the contract the kids signed. Until we see that, we won't be able to discuss the "legality" of their actions. That being said, just because it's legal doesn't make it right. People are more than welcome to argue the ethics of this. That shouldn't be dismissed by anyone...Boston or Crown fans. This really isn't even an issue between the two corps. We should be able to have a civil conversation about the ethics of this practice without being so one-sided. I imagine if the roles were reversed in this situation, a lot of the comments on here would be too. I agree with Brasso. There needs to be some sort of policy in place that sheds light on the revoking of scholarships from previous years. Personally, it doesn't sit right with me. Giving a kid a $500 scholarship to march in 2015 is for the 2015 season. To say, you can not march any other drum corps for the entirety of your drum corps career is a bit petty. Petty, I think so, yes...but in compliance with terms and conditions, probably.

Such an awesome show that Keith and Michael helped put together. Sophisticated and crafted extraordinarily well. I am really looking afford to what those two do here at Boston!

just saw this morning that one of the visual guys from Crown "announced" he was going to BAC. I think he did mostly movement (vs marching). is there any news on the rest of the team?

Clever.

Wow! 🤗

I definitely think top 5. And I wouldn't mind seeing them medal! I have a feeling next year's battle to be in the top 3 will be exciting. I know a lot of drum corps take a dip every now and then (some more permanent than others), but when Cavies took theirs...it hurt. I'm not a big Cavies honk but I'm rooting for them. A lot of us are. Go Cavies Go!

Well, they tried :)

No one is saying panic. No one has said they are in deep crap. No one is saying they'll tank. In fact, most keep saying that this sucks for them but they'll probably be fine. But it can't even be talked about without a couple people here getting overly defensive.

Yes! Union High School! '87 going down for one of his most memorable shows and one of WGIs most memorables!

Okay. Some solid guys and gals. Go Troop!

Can you describe them to us?

How were they?

Sweet. I'm excited to see what they put out. I trust in Aungst. 🙏🏼

I had no idea they didn't do alternates. I might have missed it but did someone answer as to why they don't have them?
