Popular Post craiga Posted July 24, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2018 Michael was the DM in 1983 when BAC had 51 total members....he lead the corps both on an off the field. His "never quit" attitude not only saved the drum corps that summer but has shaped generations of corps members (and staff, volunteers, etc) ever since. When he announced in 2015 that "BAC" would now stand for "Building A Champion", some folks in the drum corps world snickered, but those of us who know him knew better. This man, along with the rest of this BOD and the outstanding corps director will absolutely build this drum corps into a champion. It is only a matter of time. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was no small task to harness the B.A. attitude, and give it direction... without losing the passion and energy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This man, along with the rest of this BOD and the outstanding corps director will absolutely build this drum corps into a champion. It is only a matter of time. When North Star left the field, financial woes and recruiting were the tow major reasons mentioned, and while 27th was having some competitive challenges, most people in the area thought it would be temporary. It was predicted Boston Crusaders would be next, and with some of the challenges the corps faced, it was not a far fetched prediction. I think it's safe to say that Boston Crusaders survived the worst. I was at the 2015 show where Mike said B.A,C means Building A Champion. I did not question the corps would get stronger financially, and I assumed there would be good, solid leadership. There had already been steps in that direction because as you know far better than I do, Mike Woodall and the board had been working for quite a while prior to 2015 to get things in motion. I assumed there would be better placement but Boston Crusaders placed as high as fifth, so again no surprise. What has caught me by surprise is how quickly these improvements have become a reality. It's been a lot of work for a while, bit it's great to see it become a reality. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
