Ugh, I hated how one of the winter drumline judges commented about "musical theatre" or something like that. I understand the concept of telling a story but excitement, difficulty, intensity...those rank above for me, well, most of the time.

Yes, we did. I have to say that is probably my favorite memory EVER:) This contest was so different, though. I mean, usually Taft and Marshall go to finals together. we're like buddies;) Heh. Northside is so huge, it's a surprise we don't just have our own Area already! Just kidding, of course

Area 2006 was a very interesting contest. I remember crying because I was so mad at the thought we'd miss out on state again. Anybody hear of Area E 2004?

Of course, I am not authorized to make statements for the band, but I noticed there were things that were not problems before.

James Miculka:)

I was seriously cheering for Sharyland..Dang:( I remember in 2006, I was in COMPLETE shock they didn't make it.

Man, we all miss Mr.Meza + I never ended up being in the Ram Band like i was supposed to be lol:)

Wait, you guys have a rivalry with O'Connor, too? How many are there?! LOL:) all in good fun

Yeah, Jay came out of nowhere but best of luck. Rep NISD at state '08!

I am still in complete shock...I mean AHHH, but good luck to everyone!

Performing at 9:00 P.M. - Harlingen H.S. 9:15 - Brownsville Lopez 9:30 - PSJA North 9:45 - Harlingen SOUTH 10 P.M. - SA O'Connor 10:15 - Brownsville Hannah 10:30 - Donna 10:45 - Brownsville Pace 11 P.M. - SA John Jay 11:15 - Edinburg *These are performance order, they did not ANNOUNCE their ranking, and this is order is SAID to not be based on their rankings from prelims.

They got a 1st division, but their show still needs a bit of cleaning. Best of luck to everyone on Saturday!

Sharyland - i know they'll pull ahead after the upset from 2006. SA Taft - not just because it's my alma mater but because the show is pretty cool and pretty clean. Harlingen - always a great band! i'm never disappointed when i see these guys Harlingen South - same as Harlingen Donna - consistent area finalists & they sound well overall Hannah - i like the sound of the show Edinburg North - Christmas show is unusual but I hear it's been working out for them

I really don't think the UIL system is THAT bad...I like that UIL judges for accuracy, precision, & execution, whereas it seems like BOA judges mostly for show. And while that should count, it shouldn't be EVERYTHING...
