The Crossmen Drum and Bugle Corps also gave fans insight into its source music and a title for its 2018 show: "The In-Between." The incredible graphic for the show displays a very similar style that we've become familiar with from recent Crossmen corps. Personally, I'm very much looking forward to seeing them open the show with "Funeral For A Friend" by Elton John.

Bringing March In Like A Monarch
