HornTeacher Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 (edited) I thought I heard that BAC and BD would be combining with their Percussion sections only in their appearance at Tanglewood with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Maybe Craiga, Liahona, EMC or someone else more closely aligned with the Corps goings on there could tell us. I just took the bull by the horns (no pun honestly intended) and called the Crusaders Office. The word coming from the gentleman with whom I spoke is that, for the Crusaders at least, it's a full group appearance -- percussion AND horns.

Tim K Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I just took the bull by the horns (no pun honestly intended) and called the Crusaders Office. The word coming from the gentleman with whom I spoke is that, for the Crusaders at least, it's a full group appearance -- percussion AND horns. Tanglewood is announcing it as a venture of both brass and percussion for the Pops, BAC, and BD. I know a link has already been listed in this thread and I'm going to the concert with a tour director who arranges groups visiting New England to attend concerts at Tanglewood, and that's what his info states. BTW: Tanglewood ticket sales can be deceptive. It can look as if plenty of space is available, and often times with lawn seats that's the case, but bus tours often buy remaining tickets a week or so before a performance, especially if they have a last minute cancelation with another venue, and people often wait to see what the weather will be like closer to the date of a show, so of you have your heart set on seeing this one time, once in a lifetime show, the time to get tickets is now.

The only thing that was not announced was the 4th with the POPS. Just announced with BAC only. what a year for the kids.

Just announced with BAC only. what a year for the kids. I know that, emc2. However, there was a degree of conjecture (about a week or so ago) on this thread that the Crusader and Blue Devil percussion would be the corps' sole representation on that concert (in addition to the brass and percussion of the Boston Pop Orchestra). I was merely verifying for authenticity. As someone who had already purchased two prime seat tickets to the event, I felt that it was not out of place for me to seek such clarification.
