That would be a very long project in the making I bet. I know the dci yearbook lists them but Boston wasn’t always fortunate to get a page 

 Here is a few names of brass arrangers over the years at the Crusaders ( some others already mentioned....

 I think we would have to start with the lergendary brass arranger that was there and wrote the music for BAC in the decade of the 1960's where they first became a national powerhouse ( 1st- 3rd ) among several hundred Drum Corps in the country at the time....... Ed Denon.  He was a public school music teacher that wrote " Conquest " first for the Corps, among other early signature songs they are known for in the their earlier years. Ed Denon was there for approx 10- 12 years, and later wrote brass for the Crusaders Srs. ( 1990's )

 Jimmy Centorino wrote songs for Boston in 72'- 75.

 Eric Rosen.... 1980's

 Robert Smith.... 1980's

Tom Lizotte..... 1980's

 Michael Klesch... mid 1990's

 Jay Kennedy.... early 2000's to 2011.

 Ryan George..... 2012 to current.

    I'm sure I left someone out... but these are a few notables off the top of my head at the moment anyway.

That's interesting I believe I had heard JD shaw talk about work w/Boston when I was touring with them (PR) in 2008 during a conversation at lunch one day (I was aiding in sponsoring a hornline member ) but I never knew what year or years ......anybody know? From 2012 to present I've been on the BAC side of the volunteer spectrum

Could be wrong, but I don’t recall JD Shaw being with BAC in any capacity at least through 88. Maybe later?  90’s?
