Pearl Corporation and Adams Musical Instruments are proud to welcome the Boston Crusaders to its roster of World Class Drum Corps beginning in the 2022 tour season.

The legendary performance, tonal projection, and durability of Pearl and Adams instruments are a perfect match for the high demands of excellence that BAC arrangers, designers and performers expect on and off the field. Our organizations have a proud history together already, and we are very excited to begin writing a new chapter in that story.” — Shawn Lafrenz, Senior Marketing Manager for Pearl Corporation.
