WELCOME TO THE CAA
our mission
The Crossmen Alumni Association exists to support Crossmen Productions through fundraising and charitable contributions, while fostering lifelong connections among the alumni, staff, and volunteers who built this legacy.
What We Do:
-
Offer support for the World Class corps
-
Preserve Crossmen history and celebrate our heritage
-
Connect alumni across five decades through events and programs
-
Recognize excellence through our Hall of Fame
Since 1974, thousands have worn the Crossmen uniform. Today, we're united in ensuring future generations experience the same transformative power of drum corps.
Club Unity:
Sustaining Excellence Together
The Challenge: Running a modern World Class drum corps costs over $1.5 million annually. Equipment, transportation, housing, instruction, and member support—the expenses are enormous and unrelenting.
The Solution: Club Unity is our monthly giving program that provides the corps with reliable, predictable funding. When you commit to a monthly contribution—even just $10—you become part of the financial foundation that makes everything else possible.
Why Monthly Giving Works:
-
Predictable budgeting: The corps can plan confidently knowing what's coming each month
-
Bigger collective impact: 100 people giving $25/month = $30,000 annually
-
Set it and forget it: Automatic contributions mean you're always supporting without thinking about it
-
Every level matters: Whether it's $20 or $100, your consistency makes the difference
Here's What Your Monthly Gift Provides:
$20/month - Uniform maintenance and cleaning
$50/month - Instrument repairs and maintenance
$100/month - Transportation costs for one member on tour $250+/month - Major equipment purchases and facility costs
These are just some of the examples of what being a Club Unity member can mean.
Think about it this way: Most of us spend $10-15 on subscriptions we rarely use. What if that money went toward changing young lives instead? What if it helped keep the Crossmen competitive at the highest level?
Your monthly commitment isn't just a donation—it's an investment in excellence
