Every year at DCI East, Crossmen alumni from all over gather in the park outside J. Birney Crum Stadium in Allentown to reconnect, say hello to old friends, and make new ones. This year also marked the first time the Crossmen Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony took place in the park, which drew even more alumni to the event, as well as a special appearance from the 2010 Crossmen themselves. The entire afternoon was filled with a strong sense of fun and family. Those in attendance would agree, it was a day that many will remember and cherish for a very long time. Read more...

At DCI East on Saturday, August 7, 2010, a new Crossmen tradition was born. With help from the Crossmen Alumni Association, 2010 Crossmen drum major Mike Roche took the field for the retreat ceremony dressed in an authentic 1978 Crossmen uniform to the delight of current members and alumni alike. Afterwards, it must have taken Mike fifteen minutes to exit the stadium, as he was swarmed like a rock star with so many fans, members, and alumni who wanted to take pictures of him and with him. In relating his feelings after the show, Mike stated, "That was a life-changing experience!" It was announced that every year the corps returns to Allentown and DCI East, this tradition will continue. Congratulations, Mike! You wore the uniform well and did your corps and your alumni proud! The CAA would like to extend our very best wishes for a happy, safe, and successful end of the season to the 2010 Crossmen.
