ComeHomeShane Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Well, I've only seen the broadcast and a few low quality youtube videos, but honestly I'm not a big fan of this show. Regardless, performance quality is definitely up and I'm glad bones are taking another step forward competitively. I'll be in DFW for the Denton and Dallas shows, can't wait to see Bones mid-season! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a fair guess, it's the last year that the Crossmen came within 3 points of the Blue Devils. They couldn't close the gap with Cadets that year though.

soccerguy315 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Nice info on the historical context... wow. Been a long time. I am also unclear on my feelings about the show, but I have also only seen a couple youtube videos from mediocre angles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first take when seeing a sneak peek at training was that there was a lot going on and it has to be impeccably executed to come across. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For one thing, it looked much better in uniforms vs. shorts and t-shirts. It's already improved greatly since the Crossmen do well in Visual Proficiency. It's progressing well. Rumor has it they'll unveil something Friday in Allentown that will make their visuals pop even more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drumcorpsfever Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Shout out to the Crossmen. We'll be sitting with you in Indy! Go Bones!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry7184 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I think they have a good show. My take is they will be in the 9-12 group with Blue Stars, Madison and Regiment. I think it will be tough for them to bust into the top 8 (last year's top 7 + BAC). Still a great show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
