johnpendell Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 (edited) Me if Academy misses finals: But seriously, whatever happens this week. Think this might be my 2nd favorite program of the year. Finals or not. This will be one I go back to listen to, watch again, and enjoy for probably the entirety of my life as a drum corps fan. Thanks for being you Academy, we love it! Best of luck this week. I'm going to be biting my nails Thursday and Friday, and hopefully smiling ear to ear on Saturday night as they hit that final push at the end of Unchained Melody. :D And conversely if they DO make finals: LOL you are my favorite DCP'er DrumManTx. Makes me proud we're both Texans, I mean.... Americans... WAIT EDIT: The Tx means Texas right??

Yes, I second DrumManTx as my favorite DCP'er. I am sure many or us hope that THE ACADEMY'S "Drum Corpse Bride" makes it into finals. and onto the 2016 DCI World Championship Finals Blu-Ray DVD Disc!!!! Go Academy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamadrummer04 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 This is going to be an amazing week! I know everyone is rooting for The Academy, and I know they will do great things. I don't think anybody is more excited and proud of this corps than us old "founding" members. I was a part of the first ever judged DCI performance in 2004, and a member of the 2006 Division II Championship corps. DO IT UP ACADEMY!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcsnare93 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I know I, and many others out west, have been hoping to see The Academy crack the top 12 for awhile now. They came close in 2007, and it seems they have an even better chance of doing it this week! I hope I get to see them three more times in Indy.

xandandl Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 (edited) . I'm a woodpecker. I hear that even in Texas they have doctors and blue pills that can help with this. Must be the explanation to that constant drumming you do. :-p Edited August 9, 2016 by xandandl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anybody is more excited and proud of this corps than us old "founding" members. I was a part of the first ever judged DCI performance in 2004, and a member of the 2006 Division II Championship corps. DO IT UP ACADEMY!!! As do I, I toured with you during that first Calif trip, "Debut"ing wearing your Corps Jackets! That first performance totally shocked an unprepared and unsuspecting audience that was literally blown away by THE ACADEMY's initial HIT and performance. You then went on to go UNDEFEATED in your Three Seasons (the first two truncated) as a Division II Corps. I Was there in Madison, Camp Randall (My definition of "Drum Corps Heaven) in 2006 to see The Academy march away with GOLD, The Spirit of Disney Award in Div. II, and seeing Mark Richardson, being named Div. II Corps Director of the year. I Remember every minute detail of "DANZON". NOW, 10 years later, in 2016 to witness their incredible season (sadly from afar) and the nearly Universal praise by all those "experiecing" the beauty, pagaentry, and emotionally gratifying and satsifying performances of "Drum Corpse Bride" Thanks to DCI LIVE and Periscope technology I've watched this amazing Corps embrace and bring to life?! lol the Academy's Creative Teams Vision and Michael Klesch's Brilliant musical book, and Program Coordinator Michael Townsends, and Jamie's drill design to elevate this budding program into full bloom is one of the most gratifing experiences in my 51 years in the activity. I can't imagine the incredible "Wedding Reception" that is awaiting The Academy's appearance in Indy this Thursday, Friday and power's to be willing, this Saturday..... S a t u d a y,....S A T U R D A Y N I G H T ! Thank YOU, and Thank you ACADEMY for the ride of a lifetime you're brought joy to my heart, and tears of PRIDE to this Corps Relic's life. With Deep Gratitude. GO ACADEMY! "Your Effort is indeed The Prize." CONGATULATIONS and my Best Wishes to YOU ALL on your continued "Journey of Milestones (Tombstones!?)" 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
