Mission: To enrich and shape the lives of young performers through music education and the performing arts. Vision Statement: Since 1974, family, honesty, perseverance, dedication, independence, interdependence, and excellence are taught and practiced by each and every member at the Crossmen. We are committed to teaching our members the life skills they need to succeed. Crossmen Productions, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) musical organization assisting young people in becoming outstanding individuals through the arts. There are five full-time employees, 60+ independently contracted instructors and designers, and well over 125 volunteers serving annually. Based in San Antonio, Texas, the Crossmen Drum and Bugle Corps is the only Drum Corps International (DCI) World Class Corps in the Lone Star State. Founded originally in 1974 in the outskirts of Philadelphia as a merger of the 507 Hornets and Keystone Regiment Drum and Bugle Corps, Crossmen have grown to become a perennial Drum Corps International World Class Finalist – ascending to finals 26 times in the corps’ storied history. From the humble beginnings in West Chester, Pennsylvania, Crossmen have served thousands of students throughout its history, providing not only music education, but life-lessons to carry with them as they leave the world of drum corps. In the fall of 2006, Crossmen moved operations to San Antonio, TX from our former home in Allentown, Pennsylvania.!
