DrumManTx Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 So Academy. Love the visual aesthetic of the show and visually it's really nice! Musically it's a bit crass, wish the music drew me in more as well. I think this is their best show post 2016, but I think I liked that design direction more than the one they're on now. It's very.......clinical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcsnare93 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 After seeing Academy two nights in a row.... I'm still torn on this show. It sort of loses me after the ballad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MelloNell Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Those are some pretty steep inclines. I bet they have some twisted ankles by the end of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Otherwise, I enjoyed the show. (Trombone glisses aside...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasgre2000 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Really enjoyed that. They lost me there for a few years, but this reminds me why I fell in love with Academy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizazzman Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Academy looks really sharp, the uni’s look like something Star of Indiana would wear. The really need shakos though, specially with the capes...the uniform looks incomplete and they look short without having a shako with tall plume Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman1084 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I'm on board the Academy train for 2019. I have really enjoyed the past two years from them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodmello Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I'm gonna post my 'final' reactions to Academy. 100% a step up from Troop, but the show completely lacks the aesthetic that we've expected from Academy these recent seasons. I'd say brass is a step down and guard isn't characterized as it has been in recent years. I LOVE the uniforms and the brass book... I'm not sure how the show will hold up competitively, but I've been wrong on this front before. A great show, I can't wait to see it in person... but we'll see how it progresses.
