Crossmen's 'Protest' for a drum corps May Day on Throwback Thursday


A happy drum corps May Day on Throwback Thursday! Today's featured performance is one I telegraphed back in 2022, when I wrote "I might also use Crossmen's 'Protest' show." Its time has come. Watch 2013 Crossmen - Protest from Drum Corps International (DCI).


That's just a brief highlight clip. For the full show, I turn to Crossmen 2013 - Final Run Through from TacoXLV.

Crossmen's final run through at Canyon High School. Sorry if it's a bit shaky here & there, holding my phone up for almost 15 min. while trying not to shake gets a bit challenging after awhile haha, anyways i hope you guys enjoy!
Taco did just fine with their smartphone.

Here's the program's repertoire from DCXMuseum, which is where I also found the left half of the preview image: "The Prophet's Song * She's Too Good For Me * The Sound of Silence * They Don't Care About Us * Some Nights * We Shall Overcome * Goodbye Blue Sky * Find The Cost Of Freedom." It works for this show theme.

Follow over the jump for a retrospective of last year's top posts featuring drum corps, nearly all of which were also top posts on Facebook.
