Crossmen will return to Finals
In the only shakeup in Semi Finals competition yesterday, Crossmen (84.90, 12th) passed up Blue Stars (84.60, 13th) for the first time in the 2012 season, claiming the last coveted spot in the Finals.
"It's an amazing feeling", Crossmen brass captain Josh Sears said about qualifying. "I'm so excited. So happy. I've stuck with the corps, working, pushing for this to happen, and it's finally happened."
He said alumni ('Crossmen Nation') are thrilled to see the corps back in Finals. Their last appearance was in 2004, back before they moved to San Antonio from Allentown. "As soon as the news broke, everyone just went crazy", Sears said. "My phone has already been blowing up with alumni texting me."
Blue Stars has appeared in Finals for the past four years, reappearing in the lineup after falling out beginning in the 1980s. The corps was a founding member of DCI, placing second in the first DCI World Championship.
