Watched them while driving tour in 2017 and thought they would be finalists. Do think they are in a good geographical position to attract and retain members now.. I would tend to believe that Academy is at least in no geographical disadvantage to attract and retain marchers, bluehull. Georgraphy does not seem to be any Corps disadvantage any longer, if it ever was.. DCI has had medalists, and Title winners, from all 4 regions of the Country. There are many factors that go into what it takes to be successful in competition DCI. Geography does not seem to one of them, imo. Best of sucesss this off season, and into 2019 with the Academy. They are a Corps whose shows I enjoy most seasons... this season's included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do think other members tailor their direction to corps that will suit their talents and personal likes. Do not drive for Academy, but also wish them much success in their endeavors. If you drive an r/v, thanks for leaving me plenty of space to get my pickup out pf the grass parking spot in Lawrence . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or better than 88.15. 1983 Suncoast Sound. Prelims score 84.80.....but 5th place. (up from 13th place and 81.10 in 1982) Ended Finals in 6th with an 86.05. Keep in mind that this was back in the days of the tic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
