Crossmen Alumni Corps 2024 Drumline - Show Music

DCI World Championship Semifinals, 8/9/24

[@Toyshopslaps]

Dude 91 crossmen was NASTY ...1997 in the Blue Devils Snareline I used to listen to 91 and 92 crossmen before every show !!!!! How bout that

[@henne2k]

OMG one of my hero’s! I was so fascinated about the 97 snarebreak. Seems like extraterrestrial to get that clean.

[@henne2k]

But nothing is above crossmen 91 and 92. 😉

[@Toyshopslaps]

@@henne2k Hey brother ....yeah you're right those two years will go down in my books as my all time favorite drum features ....and right on for liking the 97 devs bro we was so clean I had to play louder to see that I was actually hitting the drum hahahahaa

[@ChrisPernaDrums]

Those were inspirational lines for me, too. Esp. 1991. And I remember you! I marched in the 97 Crossmen snare line.

[@Toyshopslaps]

@@ChrisPernaDrums WHOA. Dude you guys rocked too with lil girl dawn y'all rocked!!!!!

[@StephenKershaw1]

love hearing Thurston's beats back in DCI... he wrote such cool grooves... you know his players loved drumming it... loved hearing "the lick"

[@ChrisPernaDrums]

I heard The “Lick” twice 😊. I always loved Mark’s stuff. Also, at :45 That is “Shoshana” and Hannum beats circa 1982.

[@chsalumnidrumline]

As soon as the video started playing my ears perked up and brain went THURSTON METHENY PERCUSSION FEATURE

[@slotcargene1]

Did I hear a lick from Spanish Fantasy after the Shoshana part? Right around :56

[@ghfdgtrduh]

I am so glad these Crossman Vets kept playing. I have kept playing myself and spend a lot of time in the 'hybrid space" expressing myself rudumentally. Always fun.

[@donaldstockley5610]

So happy you took these videos. Appreciate it so much.

[@simongrey1]

Absolutely, glad you enjoyed!

[@Rocamurderface187]

I marched Colts snareline in 94, I loved watching Crossmen when I got the chance, talk about goose bumps. BONES!!!

[@kenprice1961]

That's great. Finally some snare drums that SOUND like snare drums instead of sounding like they're playing on a piece of plywood!!

[@DennisJohnsonDrummer]

Nice! We toured with Crossmen when I marched Spirit in 1980. After one show we combined both drum lines and Float ran a few exercises. Then the hornlines combined and Jim Ott conducted a massed brass tune. Not sure what they played but it was loud for sure! Cool times. Nice to see some of the old guys playing here. Keep on drumming!

91 Crossmen: Everyone who marched in the 90s still has that copy of a copy of a copy of a clear cassette tape that your friend's younger brother's college roommate recorded in the lot at some show in Mansfield or Sun Prairie.

[@tsan3796]

I know that thurston feature lick anywhere ..when it was fresh n new 😊 crazy 33/32 yrs ago …roll dem Bones ☠️

[@avidworkslol]

27 snares and it sounds like one. Incredible.

[@mmarzett]

So happy to hear "THE LICK". Absolutely made my day. And this is super clean considering the number of players!

[@mendellee]

[@MrDavebelow]

The middle row of snares is basically the 82 line altogether again.

[@CaptCaveman7570]

When will they field an all age corps for next year? It would be great if some of the corps field an all age group just like with the B and C. Will this happen?

[@JeremySmith-sx9oe]

drum corps good drumming

[@LawrChDrums]

Caption Head: You play snare? Snare Drummer: These are facts. "We need a bass drummer." "You need like 12." "Welcome aboard. Bass 5."

[@sanderschat]

Pretty complex stuff for them Vets. Noice!

[@kalani59]

Basic notes until you notice that there are like 100 snares AND they're playing indoors. Then it's like, 'oh yeah! Ok!' Also, the center isn't fooling anyone. She's definitely still junior corps. LOL

[@MrDavebelow]

25s, 7t, 14b, and 5c to be exact, battery wise. There was initially 30 snares, but Life Stuff/Conflicts came up for some.

[@crossmen2000]

Dawn is a beast!

[@sycomantz]
