Fenway Park and Boston Crusaders on Video


Recommended Posts

So my family is vacationing at Cape Cod for the week and we went in to Boston for the day to walk the Freedom Trail (loved it). My brother had secured 4 tickets for he and I, plus my step brother and bother-in-law, to attend a Red Sox game. So we finally got to see a game at Fenway Park last night. Just AWESOME!

At any rate, the introductory video that gets played right before the game (after the anthem) in order to fire-up the crowd featured what looked to be the Boston Crusader's percussion section. There had to be at least 5 or 6 different short clips of them. It really looked like Boston to me, but perhaps it was the UMass Minutemen or Boston U, or one of the other local groups.

Anyone know for sure?

It is in fact The Boston Crusaders drumline. It was filmed before the baseball season began.

Thanks, it was awesome to see that, and they looked fabulous!

Indeed it is BAC...and it is shown at every home game in celebration of Fenway's 100th Anniversary. Civilians wouldn't notice the difference, but we drum corps officianados may notice that the are 2008 uniforms with 2011 plumes, for example. The video was produced in early Spring, when the corps' equipment truck (carrying the current uniforms) was still in Florida, but the other set of uniforms was at the corps headquarters in Mass....

Drum corps always find a way to make it happen.....lol.

And yeah, they look great! :thumbup:

Can any of the BAC snare drummers pitch ? BoSox might be able to use'em.
