Just a note to let people know Boston is ready. Max and I are heading up on Tuesday for our final visit to the Green Mountains. Which means, BAC updates will be forthcoming!

LabMaster Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 (edited) So BAC breaks ST on June 20. First public performance is the following day in downtown Boston for the annual Concert inThe Park in Post Office Square. There will be a full performance in Castleton; I think June 18, “community night”, for the wonderful people of Castleton as a thank you for having them in town. They travel to DuBois, Pa for 2 days then to Erie, Pa for three days rehearsals before heading to Detroit. check their FB page for daily updates.

He's got to be 6'8- 6'10....That guy takes " Giant " to a literal level... lol. Good for him. He must be pretty good too, to make their line.

Yeah, the rest of the line are probably all 5' 8" to 5' 10" but he is 6'9". All five are great players and good guys. Can't wait to see all of them in the new uniforms! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craiga Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Hello from Castleton. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craiga Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 I arrived late yesterday and was able to watch full ensemble last night. I actually wrote a lengthy and detailed review of what I saw last night, but the dcp servers wouldn't let me post it...perhaps due to the length of it. So, I'll now try to give a brief summary: Last night 6/14, BAC did another full performance run of the entire show....that's Parts 1-5, top to bottom with no stops and no met. This is the strongest corps Boston has ever produced. The 48 member guard is again pushing every envelope they can find, the drum line is at another level this year, and the 80 member hornline is made up of mostly brass performance majors from various Texas colleges, and it sounds like it. 9 of the 12 tubas are vets, the 26 member bass trombone feature is worth the price of admission, and who would expect Boston to unleash several trumpet screamers? At 165 members and the most aggressive visual and music program they have ever displayed, this is literally a MONSTER of a drum corps...complete with new age technology while still employing legacy elements such as an incredibly visceral weapons package and an actual company front near end! I could go on and on, but I will leave it at this. With this drum corps firing on all cylinders right now they are arguably in contention to end up at or very near the top in August. And for those who would dismiss me as a typical, clueless homer I get it. Hope you enjoy the Boston Crusaders! 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craiga Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 In other news, close to a dozen BAC board members in meetings yesterday with Bill Belichick. No, I am not making that up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
