I haven't gone over to the Yea page in a while, is Kristy still teaching the guard, or is last year's team completely out?

No, GH kept them. The others, plus Sal Salas already named, are further additions.

John Lemire has been co-caption head with her at C2 the past few seasons.

Borrowed from the DCA forum, Cabs '17 thread (percussion). His United Percussion, Rutgers (Aungst's Grad School alma mater) and other DCI connections are interesting. Good add for Cadets. We'll start the stop watch now to see how long before a post about a Victoria Secret's comment.

I can really see them taking strides this year -- gonna be fun to watch BAC and Academy both try to move up. Talk about being pulled in two directions at once!

I hope so, I know the one hit wonder will they be able to do it again thing has been thrown around a lot with them but I saw this year, like I've said before, as the result of what happened and was done the few years prior.

I really have enjoyed Lee Beddis's lines quite a bit. Really enjoyed some of his lines at Carolina Crown and thought he was great at Madison, especially the top 6 at finals line in 2013. Definitely someone who can contribute greatly to someone like The Academy. Great pick up.

Lee's a great guy and knows how to get a drum line clean. Those #### Maple Leaf jerseys though....
