Great job staff and members. Heading north and firing on all cylinders a result of great planning and execution across the board from operating on the road, the fleet, food, souvies, rehearsal facilities, design adjustments, teaching excellence and member achievement. Fund raising has been outstanding - crushing it in the DCI giving challenge, and planning to finish the year strong on all fronts. The corps has done this all on the road with no opportunities to show the Boston family it's finished product. Looking forward to some east coast home court in Lawrence this Thursday and a big night in Allentown on Saturday night. Some great events planned around the next two weeks: Big homecoming on Thursday in Lawrence including clinic, Senior Corps cookout for the kids, VIP reception for donors before the show and then combined performance with Madison for an encore; Friday visit to Most Precious Blood Church; Saturday in Allentown - big cookout for Alumni & Friends in the park put on buy the Board of Directors at 4:00 before the show - starting later due to nice late step off time; next week in Indi - hotels for the members, indoor and stadium practice facilities, the board has rented the Colts Club (Gate 10) at the stadium for all s show nights for Alumni & friends from 6PM - 2 AM, 3 great performances and a banquet on Sunday. Keep pushing! A great year, indeed! Have a safe, wonderful, though brief, home-stand...lots happening. Congratulations! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Mac13 Posted August 1, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted August 1, 2017 (edited) First time on this thread, and for good reason... I saw Boston for the first in years last night in Salem. First, I have never been a huge fan of vocalists so lets get that out of the way. Before last night I would be the one to say the less vocals, the better. Your vocalist really changed my mind about vocals in drum corps. Not only is she a phenomenal singer, but her mix with the brass is completely seamless. It feels so cohesive and is integrated so effectively. I've never been overly impressed by vocals in the marching arts, but Lord I had chills. The woman next to me was a first timer to DCI...cried. All she could say when the show ended was how beautiful and well executed "the singing part" of it was. I've watched YouTube videos now that I've seen it live, not even remotely close (although they do get me teary remembering last night). Boston is definitely onto something, and they've changed my mind about singing. If anyone is going to have vocals, Boston '17 must be the standard from now on. Not to mention the show itself was excellent in all captions. It's probably going to end up being my favorite from 2017. I tip my hat to this excellent corps and wish you all the best the rest of the season. You've got brilliant talent both on the field and on staff. Sincerely, Crown fan Edited August 1, 2017 by Mac13 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the use of singing by Boston is the gold standard according to many posters this season, is the corps getting the highest points for this one element of their show?
