Piper Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 A short history lesson : North Star was the future - they played pop music and everybody loved it - 27 was invincible, and the Crusaders were doomed. Guess who survived? Not a knock, just a fact - and no I never marched BAC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trumpetsistah07 Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 The scores DON'T matter to the members of the Boston Crusaders, at least apparently not as much as the matter to some folks on DCP. The corps' motto "WE DON'T GAVA!" demonstrates this. When is the last time you heard someone from the BAC on DCP whining about a particular score or judge (unlike SOME other groups)?It's because the kids in Boston are really focused on....well, being "Boston"---which means being into their show and hopefully, the connection with their audience. The numbers will be whatever they are. The Crusaders have ALWAYS known the great truth of drum corps......get ready for it.....that you can't control the numbers-only your performance. And yes, I agree with DCPguy1111---2006 was arguably the best product-caption for caption-that Boston has ever fielded. And for the record, the greatest achievement of the 2000 corps was NOT the 5th place finish...it was the audience reaction to that show. It seems to me that the 06 show was much more subtle and less viceral than the 2000 show, but this year's brass sound, drum line, guard and drill were all at a higher level than the previous years. As far as 2007, I see Boston remaining a great drum corps, whether it ends up in first place or lower. Awesome...they really do have the true meaning of drum corps down... why can't other corps get it too...some do, some don't, but isnt the main purpose of the activty for the members and to entertain audiences? I am and always have been a fan of BAC and this is exactly why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dccorpsfan Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 I wouldn't be suprised if they went up; but I don't expect them to come up by much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about that... I knew a couple guys in the BCrusaders that always talked crap about how they should be scoring higher than crown and blue knights and Madison. I'm pretty sure they were focused on what the judges thought and what the score was. Oh.. and that every year they would always say that they had the hardest drill in dci, and they never get credit for it... blah blah blah plus.. terrance.. i believe they get 9th place alot... i always joke that they either get 5th or 9th.
