Lots of improvement from The Academy since I last saw this show.  

Yes.

But it's still not really funny. So what was the point?

We're starting to see some of that "Bugs Bunny" mentality get added to the show, though, and I've heard the crowd laughing, so I think Academy is beginning to figure it out. It's no Velvet Knights, of course, but that might require the San Diego Chicken to show up for no reason whatsoever.

Actually, that was Bridgemen, but you get the idea.

I think they need to just go all in on it.  It feels like they still haven't committed one way or the other.  But it's getting clearer like you said.

Madison has one hell of a product.  I honestly can't say I'm a fan of the trombones being on the field the entire time, but purely based on principal, which I honestly think it petty of me.

I think Madison should be dominating GE in their grouping, but far.  

Drill was intense, and the CG was definitely a step up from recent years.

I'm not sure if Academy can follow up after that...

Unless they have changed sense  last week they do not use the trombones the whole show.

Stephan thinks Academy should have both a buck and a doe rabbit. Lucas said deer are bucks and doe. Does anyone know because they're arguing again. Ramon is doing tequila shots shaking my head. This is getting out of hand quickly. 

Stephan is correct; babies are called different; fawns vs. kits

What is the purpose of the props in The Academy's show?

They kinda put you in the mood. They hold guard equipment.  They also push the show closer to the stands.  They're side art that enhances the look of the show. Sorta like the graphics outside the screen of an arcade machine.

I dunno. I like them.

Of course, everybody really knows it's actually baseball season.

Stephan is correct

Until she's had bunnies, then she's their dam.
