I think 99% of BAC'S staff and members would be surprised (and actually, amused) by the characterization that it produces, "religiously themed shows". I think you could say "historically themed", but as someone who is around this drum corps in person more than nearly anyone else here on DCP, I can tell you there is no latent religiosity hidden in BAC'S organization. Everyone may have their own interpretation of each show, of course, which is completely fine. And let's not even go down the rabbit hole of their name. They have had "Crusaders" as part of their name since 1940. I will say that many years ago there was a poster on here who went by the name BRASSO. He once told me that you haven’t really made it UNTIL people start talking about you in unimaginable ways. Looks like he was right! I remember Brassi, is he gone ? Thank god…… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite their origin, the corps was primarily known for celebrating the work of American composers for decades. Even when they did an excerpt from Mass in 1990, it was restrained, unlike 2017. The weird message-y self-help stuff mainly happened in the later days, much to the detriment of the organization. But that chapter is now, thankfully, closed. But, 'the one individual' you mention is trying to pry open a door back into the activity.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never know when you be having a grumpy day. And I would really like to see your 'inside-baseball' take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
