DrumManTx Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 :weepy again: Academy has to make finals so we can have this on the DVDs If they make finals I'm buying the Blu Ray for the first time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fran Haring Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 (edited) DCA is "all age" which used to mean over 22 and under, well... dead. Now it's a combination of kids not ready to march open or world class yet and old farts who still want to perform, but have a job Monday through Friday. Not quite. "All age" has always meant just that... all age. I marched with DCA's Sunrisers starting in 1977... I was 18. Along with a bunch of others in the corps that year right around my age. Us youngsters were part of a DCA champion that year. It has never been "22 and over" exclusively... not since DCA got its start, dating back to 1964.

wvu80 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 That's a sizable gap between Troop and Madison. Academy tops them both though. I'm still watching Bluecoats. There will plenty of times for scores later. It'll be in all the papers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justsayin13 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 THAT HIP SWAY! That might be my favorite part of the show. Oh my God I love it. Agreed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfrontz Posted August 6, 2016 Author Share Posted August 6, 2016 Exactly the same score for Madison as in Pittsburgh Wednesday night. The Academy jumps 3.15 pts. Fascinating. Also, great job, Academy! That's a heck of a performance and an amazing leap. Gotta be a lot of jumping up and down back at the buses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenoris4Jazz Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Never count them out, ever!!! The best closers in drum corps history, IMO. Except for 1981, '83, '85, '88, '95... well, you get the idea. They've gone into Finals week undefeated several times and by Saturday night they're looking up at the top of the podium. Now, the last 5-8 years they've been Secretariat down the stretch, especially last year. I thought Crown had it locked up and BD put the pressure on them and they stormed into first.

mfrontz Posted August 6, 2016 Author Share Posted August 6, 2016 What's with some of the corps not coming to retreat, including Academy and Blue Devils? Taking a complete guess: The show schedule said that scores were at 10:21. The scores were given out early. Not all the drum majors were ready. That's all I got.
