To all the friends and foes of the fabulous Rochester Crusaders, it is with great sadness that I have the duty to inform the drum corps community that the Rochester Crusader Drum Corps will not field a competition corps for the 2010 season.  The Board of Directors along with many of our alumni has decided to suspend all competitive drum corps activities this season in order to reorganize our business operations.  The Rochester Crusaders as a founding member of DCA, has a history of producing powerful horn lines, awesome drum lines and fantastic visuals for over 63 years.  While we are in the process of rebuilding our program, we will miss our many fans and supporters. The Board of Directors with the support of our alumni, fiends and fans alike will be challenged to find the resources which will allow us to return to the field and continue the Crusade.

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.
