Oh man, I remember playing that piece at HASWE. I hope i get to hear yall perform it at some point. I'm sure yall will smoke it. Spring High School's Symphonic Band will be playing: Boys of the Old Brigade by Chambers (at least i'm pretty sure thats what it's called) La Procesion du Rucio by Turina/Arr. Reed Symphony for Band (Symphony No. 6) by Persichetti (The timpani part to this piece makes me happy to be a percussionist)

Bell '06

I'm not sure yet. I'm leaning towards the Bears, but I'm not set on them yet. Gonna be a good game. And about that Colts/Pats game...I'm just glad Tom Brady lost. It made me happy.

1. Bell (that was one tough choice) 2. Marcus

I sure do wish that school had been cancelled today. I stayed up till 3 or 4 in the morning expecting to not have to wake up. I was wrong.

Spring didn't use tenors this year. And, I gotta say, I actually kinda like it. Everything we play seems alot cleaner for some reason. But I'm not really sure about advantages/disadvantages.

that was awesome. Also, word on the street is that the Bluecoats will be performing Smooth Criminal in their show. I don't think that's been confirmed yet, but man, that would be awesome.

I wish it would get below 70 degrees...

Mainly Spring's auditorium but every now and then we head on over to perform in the Westfield PAC. I definately prefer the PAC. Our auditorium pales in comparison to Westfield's PAC.

hehe...yeah...for every part we have thats supposed to be soft, we play it at 2 inches and then our director says "alright, basses, add about 20 more p's to that." It's hard to play that soft. Especially triplet roll, geeze, that's tough.

16'', 18''(<---mine), 20'', 24'', and 28'' I think. In my opinion, our top bass puts out massive sound when you just tap it, so anything like a 14'' might be too high pitched and would probably transmit sound way more than any other in the line, possibly making it sound like a tick. And I agree with you about the 28'' being the dark and low tone, but I can see what your director is saying. The sound that the 28'' made, depending on how what the pitch of the head is and how tight it is, could ring forever in the dome. But don't go listening to me, I'm only a sophmore, I'm sure your director knows what he's doing. So I would trust him.

My top 5 in no particular order: Spring Brazoswood The Woodlands (I love their show, Imogen Heap rocks my socks) The Woodlands College Park not sure about the 5th band. Good luck to all the bands at area.

Thank you, i hope you get to see it and enjoy it. Same thing for yall. I want to see Westfield's show so bad.

Spring won Outstanding Drums, Outstanding Drum Majors, Outstanding Soloist and won runner-up. Langham Creek won 1st place. And I forgot who won Outstanding Color Guard...sorry.

I enjoy it for the most part, both concert and marching seaons. Just every once in a while I get really frustrated with things. But other than that, I <3 band.

Wow, that stuff is awesome. Major props from your brother at Spring High North.

Because most band kids are avid procrastinators, including myself. Does your band/choir sell popcorn as a fundraiser? And if so, are you as addicted to it as I am? (ooo, double question)

Our snares use Johnsons. They each have two pair, one practice, one show, and I don't think that any of them have broken any of them in the two or three weeks they've had them.

Heck yes we did. Still a little shaky at times, but that'll go away with repitition.

I give Lustra's a 9. Great slogan for a drumlne.

Biology, definately. It's too structured for me. No room for error/innovation. Is it ironic that I'm doing Biology homework right now?

I was when it was on. It's weasel-stomping day! Who watched Metalocalypse after Robot Chicken ended?
