7567BC Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I am guessing with the available time this week, more changes/ additions, tighten up recent changes/additions continuing to "Rise". Eat em up Boston. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSaderFan Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 The Past Beckons On Saturday, June 22, the Crusaders took the field in Akron, Ohio wearing something other than the widely recognized red and black uniforms for the first time in over 50 years. When the design team discussed the concept of the 2013 production RISE, the color palette was a prime topic. As the meetings continued, the idea of changing the corps uniform to reflect the drab, dystopic atmosphere at the beginning of the show was floated to the team. But how could the corps change such an iconic uniform? The design team went back to the annals of Crusader history to the late 1950s. The grey jackets that the corps are wearing this season are inspired by the West Point Cadet uniforms that then Senator John F. Kennedy helped the corps acquire in 1959. As the Crusaders evolved from the Most Precious Blood Crusaders into the Hyde Park Crusaders and then into the Boston Crusaders, with those changes came uniform and management changes. Following two years of performing in red and black, in 1959, the newly christened Boston Crusaders found themselves without uniforms for the season. John F. Kennedy stepped in and helped the corps purchase West Point uniforms directly from the United States Military Academy for the rumored price of $1 each. The corps wore various versions of this uniform that season until the standard red and black was reintroduced in 1960. “We wanted to find a way to reflect the specific mood of this year’s show while maintaining a connection to the history of the corps,” said Program Coordinator Eric Kitchenman. “The Crusaders uniform is so iconic, we’re fortunate to have this small, authentic piece of history that we can tap into to make this season and this show even more meaningful.” Spectators will also be treated to a little something special. As the season evolves, watch for the uniforms to as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My educated guess would be La Crosse just before Minneapolis...or at least I can hope. :smile:/> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
