Boston Crusaders 2015 - 75th


Recommended Posts

Just watched the tralier. Apparently it's a show about knights?

Another option :Captain From Castile or a mixture of same theme. https://archive.org/details/CaptainFromCastile

Note:

Music[edit]

The lively musical score was composed by Alfred Newman, Fox's longtime musical director, and was nominated for an Academy Award.[15] Newman recorded excerpts from the musical score for 78 RPM records(reportedly at his own expense), and donated his royalties to the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation.[4] years after he re-recorded the score in stereo for Capitol Records. In 1973, Charles Gerhardtconducted a suite from the film for RCA Victor's tribute album to Newman, Captain from Castile; the quadraphonic recording was later reissued on CD.

Newman bestowed the rights to the film's spectacular march to the University of Southern California to use as theme music for the school's football team. Popularly known as "Conquest," the march is regularly performed by its marching band, the Spirit of Troy as a victory march.[4] It is also the corps anthem of the Boston Crusaders Drum and Bugle Corps, which has performed the piece in their field show frequently in the past and continues to incorporate it occasionally in their field shows of the present.

Just got back from working on the fleet trucks. New generator for the food truck.

I noticed that parking will be included with the purchase of a ticket to this show. Thats good to learn. I recall when DCI had their DCI Championships here in Foxboro at the home stadium of the N.E. Patriots, that parking cost us an arm, a leg, and our funny bone. And we in our group wern't laughing about that parking cost back then either. Knowing the area, we skipped the stadium parking, and found a spot within walking distance.. but still, lots of attendees had to pay thru the nose back then to park inside the Stadium lots. So having parking included with the purchase of the ticket for this year's return show there seems like a good PR move by BAC, imo.

Lots of info about the July 2nd 75th Anniversary Gala at Foxboro, but let's get the word out about the regular tickets that are available.

Maybe I'm giving too much credit here...but it's nice to see the number of corps who are attending, and providing a measure of respect for the Crusaders on their 75th anniversary. I'm sure that it will be an unforgettable evening.
