"You can dance if you want to. You can leave your friends behind. Because your friends don't dance and if they don't dance then they're no friends of mine."

No, not exactly. I've never even heard of them lol. Are they any good?

pressure

I totally agree! It's always great to see a 4A band like them own at a non-class-specific competition. I wish I could've actually seen their show (our directors are notorious for allowing very little time to see other bands), but oh well. Perhaps somewhere along the way I'll get that opportunity.

They're sure to be amazing...as always. I wish ppl could get videos up sooner, I wanna watch so many of these bands now!

Only if those choices actually make a difference. Should I actually practice, or is sleeping a better option at this point?

I saw Round Rock's show and loved it. The music rocks! (no pun intended.) That dark, creepy, loud stuff always gets me.

Why do all these stories involve percussion or props? Seems like there should be some wind-related accidents as well... Oh, actually, I didn't see this happen, but I heard that some euphonium kid accidentally left his instrument in the stands after a football game and forgot about it for some time. Since these were electronic stands that folded up, between the time he left it there and the time he remembered it, it had been flattened lol. I'm sure the school was sure happy about that one...

Ooooh, I have a friend who carries around one of those horses and and does something with a mirror...I've wanted to see their show ever since he started talking about it this past summer. I guess we'll just have to wait until after BOA san antonio and state and ppl start posting on youtube, now won't we?

Gum.

I'm guessing an abbrev for something. What should I ask about?

That was a really cool night. I wish we could've had longer, I didn't get to talk to many ppl... And ya, this should definately happen whenever possible. That's one cool part of BOA, that they have their own version of this in "break ranks".

Oh man...last Westlake!!!! I'm gunna miss it so bad.

Whoa, seriously? Or am I just gullible? I wanna see this show either way lol. What contests are they going to?

Has a very decorated letter jacket.

Oh, pototoes, right... I bet a Marcus win. Other than that, who knows?

How's BOA in California? They have some interest in marching band I assume lol.

Haha, I was takin the SAT, so I got a few more hours of sleep

Plays flute, so must be at least somewhat cool...

Cavies' Machine. Best. Show. Ever.

Oh yeah, definately, that's always the way to go. Similar to how you should play an etude under tempo if that allows you to be significantly more musical and accurate.

Oh yeah, we weren't real proud of our prelims performance...it just didn't feel the same as it had in our past few rehearsals. A bunch of freshmen got nervous, the wind messed with our colorguard, the usual first-contest-crap that happens. Quite a few of us honestly thought we wouldn't even advance with a performance like that. The finals went MUCH better lol.

What makes you say that?

I bet this is a good competition this year. I just feel optimistic for it. And I really wanna see Bowie's show!! They usually put on something cool. I wanna see what kind of competition they're bringing . Hopefully the schedule will allow for that.

Oh, sorry, missed that one. Thx for the info. I hope I get to see their show sometime this season, sounds cool.
