a clip of Boston Crusaders 2008 show

[mrsuperfreak221]

But they do look pretty freaking awesome!!!

[mrsuperfreak221]

Ughhhh

[mrsuperfreak221]

I absolutely hate the air blade. It is impossible to do anything with unless u have extremely small hands, otherwise they just

[thundercat720]

I remembered this venue when I marched crown in 03

[AFortuna129]

@broadwaychikadee haha I'm going to see him next weekend actually! Unless he's going to WGI with Brahma...

[gotraj09]

sabres are deffinately the easiest to toss bc its ok for them to spin while in the air,

rifes can be a lil problem when they spin while tossing, and airblades are juhs soo heavy and annoying to toss

[bonestrpt]

this must be ft. edwards, ny. its a strange field

[drummtb333]

so im going to berklee next fall ans i realllly want to march are there very many berklee students in the corp?

[F0RCEGFX]

@drummtb333 where is berklee? btw, the camps for BAC are in Tampa FL

[drummtb333]

[psycat4ever]

HOT! :D

[sodachris3000]

this was so sick i need meds.

[Thunderflower367]

[joeydrumsalot]

jason bloom!!!

[vanishsurfinc14]

i was gunna do DCI but i didnt make. i was the cut off. like i was one person away from making it

[uremom93]

im trying out for them this year on baritone

how hard is it to make it?

[gators1106]

it depends, theres rumors we're going to all Euphs, but we'll see ;-) uhhhhmmm it just depends on each individual if your a decent marcher and decent player you should be fine, and don't come in with a bad attitude, you've got to be able to blend with everyone

[ENTRANCETOREALITY]

TIME TO SAY GOOD BYE ANYONE HAVE IT

[yimmy89]

oooo yeah i forgot about this part. the brass rly nailed the matrix piece. i think their d-line was underrated that year too.

[Flcracker94]

Cause the judges are haters. hahah

[aaannnppp93]

the one guy in rifile line in front messed up.

[tjack2themax527]

ok at 0:40..without a doubt the coolest instrument part i've ever heard...that doesn't drumline..lol

[RobbieChopSticks]

It's star wars dude :D

[greggrapefruit]

Matrix

[RobbieChopSticks]

Shit. Your right. aha.

[gatorsbrianz]

Whoa this band is pretty good

[chutdigadut]

lmao

[FroDogus9]

Omg 0:40 is SO cool!

Awesome

[IBTwist]

YEAH MAN!

[Aaaronicus]

it would be cool if they actually held their camps in boston.

[gators1106]

and Boston doesn't have camps in Boston because of Weather, having them in FLA let's the corps start practicing outside months sooner than if they were up north.

[MrMcMusic01]

This was my favorite BAC show since 2003's Bravo Show.

Their guard was especially good this year.

Can't wait to see what 2009 brings. It sounds like a great concept.

[Bonhamman90]

this is really bugging me, but does anyone know what corps marched 6 basses in 2007?

[NHDL04]

spirit

[Bonhamman90]

thanks

[NHDL04]

yup haha no prob

[itsKANARIAyo]

OMFG AIRBLADES

D:<<

[allaboutthesax]

@itsKANARIAyo

NOOOO!!! They were atrocious and a nightmare to spin!

[psychobomberninja]

@allaboutthesax What are you talking about? Airblades are a lot of fun, and way easier to spin than rifles or saber. Personally, I hate rifle, but airblade was great.

[Bonhamman90]

its rediculous that a show like this didn't score higher!!!

[rreemmzzrruullee]

the marching at finals was awful though. but the music was awesome. Especially the matrix part.

[PirateNinjaFromForks]

OMG!!!!! THEY HAVE AIRBLADES!!!!

-hypervenalates-

omgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomg­omg!!!

that is the wicked OMGOIMGOMGOMGOMG

[argella1300]

what are airblades? are they a kind of rifle/sabre?

[cocokiss88]

they are kinda rifles, but with "holes" in them, and they are heavier and in my opinion more difficult to spin as they catch the wind and block the rotation due to their holes...

[Saint2558]

I always get chills for :40-:47 I love that matrix thing they do so much.

[alcaj0nes]

lol, i thought the opening clapping was them...

[shitballznig]

ya thats bloom how do u know him?

[chutdigadut]

that's soo sick

[doyle079]

they should have done more with the "matrix chords" as ive come to know it. it was so cool seeing that lil bit that if there was just a bit more who knows

[littleHidden]

AAMMAZING

[cornsuck]

YAY! my boyfriend marched this year too! His name is charlie. You know him?

[Paralda]

I'm trying out for Boston this year. It'll be my first time auditioning for a Corps, so I hope I do well.

[BackwoodsBackman]

I'll be trying out in Bostin this year too. will you be at the Mass. camp? If so, see you there.

[Paralda]

Nah, Florida camp.

[fritchy4]

this crowd did not give the the hornline justice with their applause for the matrix segment! such an epic part!

[reeldeelpeel]

I've been waiting for a Corps to use music from the Matrix movies from a long time, this is FUCKING KICK ASS!!! GREAT ARRANGING!!! :) :) :) :)

[timbohoagie]

haha! a percussion guy associated with the crusaders --- rich viano --- arranges our high school drum score. excellent work!! i go to lancaster high school in lancaster, OH

[mtsuenigma]

gotta give a shout out to my girl Tonnika! BETTER GET IT!!

[pongrules12]

my brother is in the crusaders. hes a mellophone.

[SENI411]

the guards use of the air blades is awesome!

[almaboner09]

HOLY CRAP!!! I love the fact that they are using air blades... those are freaking awesome rifles...

[SpDrumz]

Burly fucking Brawl. easily the sickest part of the show besides the beginning first full song in their show

[bri50bass1013]

seeing this show in person is soooooo much cooler.

[G32579]

Saw a there show last night. The prt at 0:41 was so simple but gave me the chills once I heard it. So go BAC.

[ciclegacy]

Matrix stuff is so the bomb

[ConnerMello2]

I can't believe how much sense this did not make.

[scribe1346]

Compared to the Blue Devils show last year it makes a lot of sense.

[ConnerMello2]

congratulations. This is the most pointless youtube comment I have ever read.

and that includes those ones that say you're gonna die in four minutes.

[scribe1346]

ohh. dont get me started on the Cadets!! haha. jeez man.

[scribe1346]

chill..

[AFortuna129]

@ConnerMello2 ...what? lol

[cornsuck]

I saw them in Orlando this weekend too.

I got to see everyone, i miss them so much!!!

Woo! Go Charlie, Sean and Katrina!

[BCand5kids]

You got it!! Go Katrina...that's my girl...I saw the show in Orlando and Atlanta...they are freakin' amazing....GO BAC

[Guywhoisme]

Hynds, Dawson: Do it. Set the arc. Do it for Denny!

[Guywhoisme]

Two of my friends are Crusaders this year, and I saw the show live in Orlando yesterday! It was totally mind-blowing! Boston Crusaders forever!

[rhythmaniacs]

WOW...I couldn't wait to see them live so I snuck on here to watch....SICK

[ciclegacy]

seems like the airblades are in this season

[boket5u]

definitely, a lot of high schools are using them too...

[LOVEmusicxx3]

i had the amazing opportunity to talk with their drum majors & see them practice, & sit in while they warmed up this past week at CNU.

fantastic, i swear.

[Djagz]

Godd show so far, I know there alot of kids from Orlando marching from Boone High School. The corps parks their truck in the parking lot during off season.

[rrobles3]

actually lol i marched this show and there was 1 kid in the entire corps from boone and she was in the guard. boone is just where we practiced during the off season thats the only reason why it was there. but most of the corps IS from central florida and miami area, with a lot from texas as well.

[argella1300]

why are so many people from Florida and Texas? why don't more people from Massachusetts try out?

[rrobles3]

because all the camps are IN florida so it makes it very expensive to march if you are from anywhere other than the southeast because of having to come down to FL once a month. Like I marched in the guard and there was 2 people in the entire guard from boston,and they only did it cause they only had to come to the april and may camps as oppose to the other like 6 camps. lol

[gators1106]

yeah, I'm marching BAC this year, I live 2hrs from the camps, although if they were in Boston. It'd be hard to afford! Theres one kid coming from the UK he pays 700 a camp just to get here! nuts

[buteronmycrescendo]

i think the troopers are using them.... a few girls from my band are marching with them this year.

[MadCoSnareLine]

Pretty freakin' awesome drill!!! Excellent execution!!!

[saxmachine1411]

Ugh, it sickens me how I could be there, right now--my age-out year--after being offered a free spot, and turning it down to go to school. You know what? fuck school.

[vtownhood]

what instrument?

[jmcclain0504]

Noticed they were using the Airblades. Anyone know of oter DCI corp using them?

[Fenrir07]

BAC's the only corps that's using Airblades this season, at least, according to a friend of mine that's currently marching their guard.

[Aeuphemismist]

madison

[cornsuck]

My boyfriend is in Boston

[BCand5kids]

I saw this show in Ohio on June 22nd and they are kickin it...of course I am a proud dad, but they look to go far this year. Good Luck BAC

[DrumGodLaharl]

One of my favorite shows so far this season, especially this part :D.

[multibuddhaneo]

simply awesome!

[drumrguy]

Of course, the tenor and bass breaks have to be a measure long, and the snare 4 measures long.

[johnpaddie]

And so we have the travesty of the modern drumline. Being a bass guy myself (bottom bass no less) I feel that... We should rewrite all of our parts and play right over the snare break. It's an accompaniment... I swear.

[vtownhood]

lmao

[srch4trth]

snares are playin' the shit outta this book. Get that shit snares!!!

[vtownhood]

i think they have the best snareline this year

[cru4you]

next to mandarins

[vtownhood]

i havent heard mandarins... r they that good? ur just jokin right?

[cru4you]

piss clean lady

[tommy2122108]

i think bluecoats do but thats jus my opinion lol

[vtownhood]

oh... well acctually coats and crusaders tie for best snareline so we are both right

[theartmachine]

Bas Ass. Chase and Angie, represent!!!

[NROhiobando]

matriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiix

MATRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIX!

Choooooooooooooooooords!

[cru4you]

this and the ending

[thepope24]

yeah. im trying out

[thegsp0t]

moooooooooooooooooooose

[thegsp0t]

andyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[thegsp0t]

jamesssssssssss

[thegsp0t]

spencerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[DrmStk666]

Haha, I was thinkin' the same thing. Go Spence!!!

[c2dinc]

I can't wait to see this show in person. I love the music. Hopefully the rest of the show's this good.
