Boston Crusaders Unveil Their 2023 DCI Production, 'White Whale'
Capping off a week full of show announcements is the release of Boston Crusader's 2023 DCI program titled, 'White Whale' and is inspired by Moby Dick.
Show announcement season is ramping up as we inch closer and closer to May move-ins for Spring Training. Capping off a week full of show announcements (here's the full running list if you need to catch up), Boston Crusaders revealed heaps of information about their 2023 program titled, 'White Whale.'
Here's what the Boston-based corps has to say about their 2023 production:
Boston Crusaders’ production of White Whale is inspired by Herman Melville’s great American Novel, Moby Dick. It offers a turbulent ocean adventure filled with gritty characters while exploring the realms of philosophy, science, history, and politics with intrigue and insight. This is the story of Captain Ahab’s self-destructive obsession with the white whale, called Moby Dick. The plot of the novel follows Ahab’s manic drive to kill the whale, even as it endangers his crew. The Boston Crusaders’ 2023 show makes a geographical connection the corps’ home in Massachusetts, while also drawing parallels to the White Whale metaphor; chasing the seemingly unattainable, at all costs.
Musical selections for 'White Whale' include the following:
- Fantasia on a Theme By Thomas Tallis by Ralph Vaughn Williams
