people need to just grow up in these situations, i mean its band! we should all be nice to each other, parents should be respectful to other parents, no matter where their from everyone should give appalaud where its necessary. etc.
More like they 'devolve'. As bands as a whole get sloppier they lower the standards to keep the scores high. The same way they dumbed down the SAT because too many kids were failing it and they wanted to raise the pass rate which had been slipping in recent years at that time. Kids these days don't study as much as they used to and teachers spend more time trying to invent new fun ways of presentation to get their kids into the material than they do actually TEACHING. I think this has trickled into the fine arts as well....though I'm not going to go as far to say that directors implemented design concepts purely to cover the increasing precision flaws of their bands? Of course I won't.....
blame it on TAKS..
itys way to hard to even predict who'll make it, im thinking that the area D reps have a really good chance of filling in the spots, but thats just becuz those are the only bands ive seen
im in marching band cuz its so much fun!!
like playing and marching
watching different bands and different shows
hearing the crowd cheer after you've had a great performance
getting first at competitions
watching how a show that can barely be called art turn into a great entertainment
growing closer and learning more about people you knew really knew
lets seee

Reagan 06 (love the ballad and the last hit)
