Boston Crusaders 2023 "White Whale" - Battery Focus - Concert In The Park 6/21/23

First, sorry to the Boston snares for not being able to get audio from the front. I think everyone can tell from my other video that they're playing at a high level. They certainly did this performance. The audio sounds muddy bc I was on the side.
Second, sorry that my phone basically froze during the percussion feature of all spots.

That drum break is making me debate whether or not I pay my taxes

7:05 is also bonkers😨

The drum break is wierd but that's why it's cool

[@dlev12]

4 piece McNutt Special, Walk the dog, wayyyy too many ping shots, the most 3s/4s ever…. It doesn’t get more mcnutts than this

What’s walk the dog

[@dlev12]

@@RHG_Music the part where they hit the left stick with the right and it hits the stick and bounces off the drum too. It’s in the 18/19 books I think so you can find it in there

The uniforms(costumes) look ridiculous!!!

[@luvspaiste]

@@kharysims4030 It would be unfortunate if BAC won their first-ever DCI championship looking like this.

[@I.AM.ON.MY.WAY.]

@@kharysims4030at this point I don’t even bother getting upset over uniforms, do they look like the iconic/recognizable uniforms of the past? No… will they ever go back? Probably not… no point in losing sleep over it, 2024 will come around and the uniforms/costumes will be completely different once again.

[@foocett]

Colin absolutely McNutted all over this book fr

[@danielvaldezpercussion]

Is that the infamous lick?!? Do my eyes deceive me? I like how the quad player is well aware of the McNutt lick. 12:17

I feel like this angle is doing rlly doing the snares and tenors justice. Great quality video tho

I agree which is why I apologized in the description for the muddy audio. Unfortunately I couldn’t place my sound recorder in front of the battery due to soloists and such walking through that area.

I'm hoping the colorguard costume is inspired by Kristi Yamaguchi's blue costume in '91. If they're really committed to this design, they should go for it lol
