Come on Guys!!! I know most of us have graduated from the "God-like" days of TX band (2000-2007, in my opinion). Lots has changed since, but it is still our duty to recruit new members and get kids inspired/passionate about playing music and being apart of a larger group (something bigger than their hormonal, dramatic selves), just like we were! Come on now!!! Lets get off our butts, make new leaders, inspire different ideas and make some magic!!! It's our responsibility to continue igniting passion in today's young musicians. Just so you know, I am a senior Music Ed Major at the University of Houston, lived through such proclaimed "hey-day" and currently teach lessons/am a visual marching tech for a HS. That's how I know so well that kids these days (wow, I'm old) need a FIRE LIT UNDER THEIR BUTTS!!! They just don't know yet the rewards, pride, teamwork skills and memories that are possible through HS performing arts. (that and I still have two younger siblings in HS marching band) Let's GO!!! The next wave of incredible art is on its way!!!

So the 2010 season is welllll underway. In the San Antonio/Central Texas region, we have already seen BIIIIIG changes! First off, and most importantly ;-), New Braunfels High School!!! One of the old giants of TX marching band, now under the direction of controversial director Dana Pradervand, is doing probably their most musically/conceptually sound shows since "Beyond Perimeters" in 2006! "What Goes Around (Comes Around)" featuring the music of Bach's Dona Nobis Pacem from the b minor Mass, his Prelude and Fugue in D from the Well-tempered Klavier, Pachelbel's canon in D, and Haydn This will be the 3rd time for this group of seniors to have a shot at the All-State Marching Competition. It definitely looks like they are hungry for it. Drill is written by their assistant director Ed Gonzales (always great work, if you can reference the NBHS 2003/2005 All-State performances) Arrangement details still to come So what all y'all got?
