I, too, had to decide between these two corps. When it came down to it, location and friends helped make my decision. I ended up going with the Crossmen. I know both corps are excellent when it comes to education. The people at both corps are great as well. However, I can say the Crossmen has been a wonderful place for myself the last few years, and with some of the changes taking place in the offseason, I'm looking forward to this year more than any other in the past. Good luck on your decision! As long as you march somewhere, that's what matters most.
