I remember those years... they would out-design and out-perform corps twice their size on a regular basis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cainan Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Just watched Denver again... OMG I love this show so much! It is engaging for the entire length of the show and 8:50 onwards is boss! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GetOFFmyDot Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Last year, I believe I was the first person to predict that The Academy would make finals. I made another bold prediction this year: Mandarins will make finals. It won't be an easy path, but I think it can and should happen. I hope I am correct! They are adding so many layers into the show - and the guard, oh my heavens. They keep increasing the difficulty of the work! This isn't out of the blue - Mandarins has been on a slow and steady pace of progress for the past 4-5 years. They have a very large, supportive group of volunteers in the Sacramento area. Outside the top 4-5 corps, they are probably one of the most financially secure corps out there. They have a long history and it is great that the new group of members not only learn about it, but are honored to carry it forward. Keep pushing, Mandarins - you have so many people rooting for you!! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the same thing--that could've been a really cool new reveal tomorrow (or even at San Antonio). But I guess it'll still be a mystery how they reveal it during the show. I can't imagine that'll be there prior to this closing moment of the show as their drill there frames it perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afd Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 On 7/18/2017 at 2:23 AM, Cainan said: Success isn't a stranger to this corps... lest we forget their SEVEN world championship titles in A-60 / DIII and their one world championship in DII. One of those championship years (92 I think) they won DIII, came 4th in DII and placed 26th in WOrld Class... Oh, did I mention they only had like 12 horns? An absolutely amazing corps! Yes they have been successful in the lower ranks ..BUT this is a new ballgame for them. I really hope they make finals this year. If not then what an amazing season and hopefully they will build on this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
