Boston Crusaders 2026

Gino posted a pic of yesterday's brass sectional with a massive hornline.  Too many to count but I was able to count 30 tubas.

And, I am told there were auditionees from EVERY top 12 corps, without exception.

Eat 'em up, Boston.

Thanks for the info. I bet @Hook'emCavies would say 30 tubas is a good start. 👍😁

Yeah everyone here had that intrusive thought the moment they read the post.

I recall the February camp in 1994 in which we had six or seven horns, none of them low brass. How (thankfully!) times have changed.

That was a great show.  Amazing it started so small!  -Mike

Russian Cameos.

Everyone worked hard to fill the spots, but it was a slog. To miss finals after being 11th in quarters was heartbreaking.

The same thing happened to them in 1990.
