Ghost Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Also how is the new building going? Need any help with that? What kind of help if help is needed? Might start with the volunteer link or call the corps main phone number. They hope to move in next Spring I believe. http://bostoncrusaders.org/2015/04/coming-home-to-hyde-park/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liahona Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 I see that Boston has gone to Yamaha brass and percussion. Article here: http://bostoncrusaders.org/2015/11/historic-boston-crusaders-drum-and-bugle-corps-choose-yamaha-percussion-brass-and-pro-audio/ I'll just throw these few questions out there for whoever wants to chime in...Is this good equipment in your opinion? Who else in world class uses Yamaha if you know? Is the brass or percussion better equipment or are they both great? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 I believe others on DCP have given thumbs up as corps have switched to Yamaha. Thought the corps announced several months ago they had continued their contract with Jupiter. But many on DCP have given three thumbs down for Jupiter so this is obviously a great move for Boston. Another box checked off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 I think blue star uses Yamaha equipment. Total of nine in WC. Buena Park, Calif. (November 20, 2015) — Yamaha today announced that the 75 year-old Boston Crusaders Drum & Bugle Corps are the ninth corps in the prestigious World Class division of Drum Corps International (DCI) to perform exclusively with Yamaha brass and percussion instruments.

Going down the World Class Prelims Placement, with the 2015 horn usage, followed by the horn changes I've noticed/read/etc-not sure on percussion... So out of WC, 11 hornlines on Yamaha, 6 on Jupiter Quantum, 1 on Kanstul, 4 on some King derivative. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Detweiler Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 System Blue is distributed by King. Very different horns though from what I am told. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
