BigW Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 3 hours ago, Fran Haring said: I wonder if that's one reason it took so long for the band to win this award... because the school is Div. 2, not top-level Div. 1. It's been one of the best college bands anywhere for decades now. It's the reason. No national presence like many of the more well known college units. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigW and I both went to PA state schools and Division II. It was nice when I took care of the Tuba section there in 1985. I had a guy from Crossmen and Bucs on the one end of the line and myself on the other. Things got done, everyone else was pretty much told to stay between us, it went well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was at IUP playing trombone had another trombone from Finleyville Royal Crusaders. Section head would always ask each person before a show “are you ready?” for various reasons. After a bit he told us “I’m not going to ask you two anymore. You #### corps guys know what to do” 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xandandl Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 21 hours ago, Fran Haring said: Two great bands, I agree. Brenda's a WCU alum... joined Crossmen when she was there. WCU was called "Crossmen University" by some folks back then. LOL. And you're right... in general, not always the case, the pipeline for WCU members who wanted to march corps was Crossmen for DCI, then if you wanted to continue in senior/all-age, Buccaneers.... and some to Westshoremen as well. Or all three, like Brenda. 🙂 Many a Cadet went and marched WCU including the Litz. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her assistant, also a UMass and Cadets alum is Jim Ancona known for his great front ensemble and percussion work at Cadets, Crown, and Cavaliers.
