Boston is having a banner year whether they are 1st or 2nd come finals. This is a momentous year for them and it sets them up very well for 2023. I'm very impressed with this corps. Don't let scores drag you down. Not saying you are, but I've been there, done that in the past. I remember one year we were continually closing the gap on one of our rivals. Midseason, we got it down to 1 point and we were all so excited. We all throught it would be a few more shows and we'd be ahead of them for good. They beat us by 5 points at finals.

Super Don-O Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Prediction: Every now and then a show comes along that captures the hearts of the fans, whether because of it's quality and emotion or the story of the corps and what they have been through. For those special shows the fans reward the kids with a spontaneous standing ovation as they ENTER the field, not just during or after their performance. I predict 2022 Boston Crusaders is going to be just such a show. 80+ years of corps history, a founding member of DCI, survivor of some very hard times early on, steady growth since they first made finals in '99, and now finally reaching the peak of the activity and their first medal. I think the love they are going to feel on the way into the stadium on Saturday night is something we will all remember. And strap in, because if they manage to take the whole thing it's going to be bedlam. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been saying that since San Antonio but after last night I am more convinced. For many corps, but especially corps from Massachusetts, New Jersey, and when Crossmen were based in Delaware County, Allentown seems to be where the best performances, if not always the highest score of the season, take place. 27th alums speak of 1980 as if it was yesterday. I’ve seen performances in Allentown of both Cadets and BAC that are the most memorable of the year. Boston Crusaders has a huge fan base, some new comers, others lifelong, there will be lots of alums and alums of former rivals all cheering them on. It will be electric, but hopefully not too electric. There’s a 55% chance of thunderstorms as of now. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got a Standing O while waiting for the Live Show Production before the top 5. We felt like Legends then, I'm sure these Giants are walking above the clouds everyday. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Though if corps are smart, they order extra pants when placing their orders these days) Is there a trophy for cleanliness? I always see folks talking about "cleaning this and that in the show" 😉 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWW11 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 You folks know that there is at least one fool on this site who plans to crash BAC rehearsals next week, right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
