On June 28,I embarked on a six week national tour as a volunteer driver for The Academy Drum & Bugle Corps.
Our first three stops were in Southern California,at Oceanside,Walnut and Riverside.The Pacific Crest from Diamond Bar,California was the host corps.
The Phantom Regiment was once again rewarding West Coast audiences,but their show,Turandot could not take down The Blue Devils.
The BD are once again blowing minds with a show that raises the art form,reminicent of their" chair"show and their "mirror"show.
The Santa Clara Vanguard have really improved,with a much less esoteric show than their 2011 "Devil`s Staircase."
The Academy is intent on making finals this year.Although currently ranked seventeenth,watch for them to start making their move next week when they become more active between Denver and Minneapolis.
