heyjude1202 Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Got to see Crossmen in the show last night and the Bristol Parade today (up from Georgia to see our son in Carolina Crown and see the longest running 4th of July parade in the United States), I certainly enjoyed both performances. They were a crowd favorite in the parade where I was sitting because they (as the crowd would yell) "play(ed) for us". Way to go Crossmen! My son called...he is in the pit and they were responsible for keeping the corps water flowing....he loved the Bristol parade. Stated it was long, but the crowds were outstanding. Then all corps headed to Wakefield, MA, marched in that parade then all corps had dinner together. That's what drum corps is about gathering friends from the activity we all love....so glad he gets to experience this awesome part of drum corps.

xbones7480 Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 (edited) Can you imagine if approximately all 2,900 of the Crossmen Alumni donated $34.00? That would total nearly $100,000.00 for their annual Jazz Club campaign! Currently, the Crossmen have only raised $16,000 of their campaign goal. Your Contribution to the Jazz Club will help the growth and development of the Crossmen as well as new program offerings of Crossmen Productions, INC. All contributions directly help offset the costs associated with travel, instruction, nutrition, and care of all current and future members of the Crossmen family. Start helping the Crossmen now by logging on to http://www.crossmen.org and making a contribution using their secure on-line donation form. By doing so, you allow the corps to benefit immediately from your generosity, while saving yourself both time and the cost of a postage stamp. Help Crossmen RAISE THEIR FLAG and Join the 2008 Jazz Club today! Edited July 5, 2008 by xbones7480 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barigirl78 Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 I just came from the show. I went with some drum corps newbies. They loved the Crossmen. It was a good performance, but there is stll so much more they can improve, I can see them improving so much. Everytime I see them, they've added a little bit more. They are playing much louder than last year, which is great. I loved the beaming smile from the drum major at the end. It was genuine. They are proud and enjoying themselves. Good stuff.
