The Rochester Crusaders all age Drum and Bugle Corps is a non-profit musical, visual and educational organization, that provides quality instruction that focuses on a musical and visual program that is both artistically and technically challenging. While being a competitive unit which travels all over the Northeast, we strive to bring the Rochester community closer to the unique activity of Drum and Bugle Corps which we perceive as an art form. The Crusaders also strive to keep the spirit of competition and the camaraderie throughout the Drum Corps community.
The Rochester Crusaders are pleased to announce their staff and repertoire for the 2010 competitive season.
Beginning with their Open House on November 29th, the Crusaders celebrate its 64th year by bringing drum corps fans another great program entitled “An Immigrants Tale.”
Using solely the music of Aaron Copland – one of the first truly American composers – the Crusaders will weave a tale of immigrants' families and their journeys from their arrival on America's shores through their journey westward as they chase the American Dream.
