So proud of SOA this year. They really surprised a lot of us, in a good way. They were a fan favorite at the BLL last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would an extremely rare tie to get them both into finals be too much to ask for? :-) (For those who don't know, there is a longstanding tradition that when Crossmen make Finals and Spirit don't, the Crossmen form a delta at retreat. If it's the other way around, Spirit forms a cross.) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Clark Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Is it too late to Crowdfund a tie for 12th place between Spirit and Crossmen? Where do we send the check? 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This blog post recounts how it all got started. It's really one of the great bits of Drum Corps lore that highlights the better side of the activity. http://joshinthesouth.blogspot.com/2009/02/crossmen-spirit-bond.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am holding out hope that Cadets will take out Cavies tonight or tomorrow night. 34 minutes ago, KVG_DC said: Perhaps. But I want that Mandarins show in finals!
