The Academy Drum & Bugle Corps (also known as "The Academy") is a World Class (formerly ''Division I'') competitive junior drum and bugle corps based in Tempe, Arizona. The corps is a member of Drum Corps International (DCI). ==History== In 2001, a group of people gathered in the Phoenix, Arizona area with the intent of starting a drum and bugle corps (D&B). They formed the Board of Directors of the Arizona Academy of the Performing Arts, a non-profit organization with the goal "...of enhancing the culture of music, dance, and the performing arts in Arizona." They then formed The Academy Brass & Percussion Ensemble, which made numerous local appearances during the summers of 2001–03, including at the D&B competition the organization sponsors, the Southwest Corps Connection.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History )〕 In the summer of 2004, the corps added a color guard, changed the name to The Academy Drum and Bugle Corps, and entered the field of competition. Marching a short season of only four weeks and six shows in Arizona and California, the corps was undefeated in Division II. The next year, the corps expanded its boundaries, performing in 10 shows, including Drums Along the Rockies, in Denver, and was again undefeated in Division II. 2006 was The Academy's most successful season. The corps appeared in shows in seven states, including the DCI Division II/III World Championships in Madison, Wisconsin, where the corps capped their third undefeated season with the Division II title.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2006 Scores for The Academy )〕 In 2007, The Academy moved into Division I (now World Class) competition. That was their most successful season in the class, finishing 13th at the DCI World Championships, but the corps continues to challenge for a position among the DCI Top Twelve finalists.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Song History for The Academy )〕 The Academy assembled a 100+ member brass, percussion, and auxiliary ensemble of members and alumni that performed outside University of Phoenix Stadium prior to the Pro Bowl and Super Bowl XLIX and at the NFL Experience, "an interactive theme park of all things football," during the week of January 25–February 1, 2015. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Academy Drum and Bugle Corps」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
