Coaster Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Didn't Spirit and Suncoast particularly dislike each other? No. Spirit and Suncoast finished side by side from 1983-1988....How's that for a rivalry? In 1989 when we made finals and they didn't, we made a huge delta on the field with our horns and a smaller one with drumsticks as a tribute to them not being on the field. I think it was a friendly rivalry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAC oboist Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 The numeral 27 is not allowed in the Boston Crusaders' vocabulary. Is that number suppose to be significant? As a band director, I will still say, "Let's start at number 26 + 1." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brassEXPERT Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I have many friends that marched both crown and cadets throughout the 2000's, and the rivalry story developed a lot over that span of time. Crown hated the Cadets during their rebirth years when the separated from YEA and tried to establish themselves as a real threat and do so with their own identity (certainly accomplished). The hatred kicked back when Crown first beat the Cadets in 2008 and started to escalate from there. Although the members don't try to hurt each other in the parking lot, there are DEFINITELY strong feelings of hatred back and forth between the corps. Cadets have yet to sacrifice their class in uniform, but Crown members have openly disrespected the Cadets while both corps were in uniform and tried to get the Cadets to fight back in ways that other corps, even the Cavaliers, have not done. This includes physical interaction as well, not just verbal. As far as BD and Crown go, I don't think anybody at BD is worried about Crown ; ) Crown members may be bitter because they can't reach the next level, but Blue Devils are riding high and show no sign of slowing down and letting Crown pass them. Rivalries have two sides 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was a friendly rivalry. That is still the most awesome gesture I've ever seen from one corps to another. Chokes me up a bit to picture it still and I had nothing to do with either corps. I keep waiting for a Suncoast reference from the new and improved Spirit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
