mj3004 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Since DCImonkey is being cryptic, he is referring to Andy Akiho. Andy marched Crown 1997 and Cadets 2000 - is that correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drumcorpsfever Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) How hard is it to make the top 2 in drum corps? In 43 seasons of the DCI championships, there have been only 12 corps that have placed in either 1st or 2nd position: Anaheim Kingsman, Blue Stars, SCV, Madison, Blue Devils, The Cadets, Star of Indiana, Cavaliers, Phantom Regiment, Crown, Troopers, and 27th Lancers. Even more impressive is since the year 2000, only 5 corps achieved 1st or 2nd: The Cadets, Cavaliers, Blue Devils, Phantom Regiment, and Crown. The Bluecoats become only the 6th drum corps to achieve this distinction in the last 14 years. Incredible achievement Bluecoats! Congratulations!

Jast45 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Love how the statistics can help put it all in perspective--what a great achievement for the Bluecoats--posted on their facebook is a great letter from their board of directors--really heartfelt!- 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCImonkey Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Since DCImonkey is being cryptic, he is referring to Andy Akiho. Haha, sorry I wasn't intending to be cryptic....I just thought it was a neat coincidence. With the number of Cadets on Coats staff this year, I wonder how many marched with Andy?

oldbandguy Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Here's a link to all of the videos that the Bluecoats put on YouTube this season.

2000Cadet Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Haha, sorry I wasn't intending to be cryptic....I just thought it was a neat coincidence. With the number of Cadets on Coats staff this year, I wonder how many marched with Andy? Pretty much most of them. I marched with Andy too. How in the HELL did Bluecoats beat Cadets?!?!?!?! I'm just kidding. I've watched this show over and over and they are incredible. I can't wait for the APD or the Blu-ray to come out. I will be blasting that show for the rest of the year. I watched the finals performance on the Fan Network and that crowd reaction at the end of the show was so loud I had to take off my earphones. CONGRATS BLUECOATS! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2000Cadet Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Andy marched Crown 1997 and Cadets 2000 - is that correct? He marched 98, 99, and 2000 in Cadets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
