Liahona Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 (edited) Since I got yelled at last season for not starting this thread soon enough. While the results of 2022 are still fresh I am beginning a new thread! Crusader Traditions "Conquest" The Boston Crusaders first performed Alfred Newman's "Conquest" from the 1947 swashbuckling motion picture, Captain from Castile, in 1969 and repeated it in 1970. The corps brought the tune back in 1973 and 1974, then performed it as a part of their show every year from 1976 through 1990. Since then, "Conquest" had become a signature piece for the Crusaders. Waldo The Boston Crusader's symbol is King Richard's split-tailed lion. Affectionately known as "Waldo", the lion can be seen on all of the corps' vehicles, on the corps members' jackets, on corps merchandise, and as tattoos on many members and alumni of the Crusaders. "Giant" The Crusaders' corps song "Giant" is based on the main theme from the 1956 movie, Giant.

Chief Guns Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Not "IF" but "WHEN with BAC winning a title. It's going to happen. And I will be the first to congratulate them when it happens. Sooner than later. Championship clock is ticking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now only if BAC can just pluck them off the score board...Hope I don't have to wait too much longer for it to happen...Please be sooner rather then later! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rylan Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 I’ve never been in the BAC thread but I like the idea of being one of the firsts. Boston I hope to see you the top 3 (or more) again next year! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay patient brother. BAC will win one. Think it took Crown four years to win after placing top three, and I think six years for Bloo. Let's go in the middle, by 2027 BAC will be champions, possibly sooner. Of course us BD honks want another title, but BAC has BD Nation behind them. It's awesome that two of the classiest fan bases on DCP, BAC and Bloo both took home silver medals. Freaking awesome! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orwellian Wiress Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Hell yeah Boston Crusaders. As a goth I can officially say that BAC is the most goth out of any band in the marching arts world and I am so here for that😈 As for show concepts, I love their running theme of history, literature and mythology with a dark twist. I love that this year was able to portray Adam and Eve but in a tasteful and subtle way (snake drill!!!! it's awesome!!!), and I think a story like Cain and Abel featuring two main color guard soloists would be awesome. I love me some good old fashioned character death in DCI🖤 bring it back! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
