Haha Mr. Martinez does that sometimes...During games our section leaders have 2mins with us before we perform we usually pray and then we have our special chant "YOU KNOW SAXOPHONES!" and if you play Tenor or Bari you add an emphatic "LOW!"...and then Mr. Martinez had us watch a video of a student who goes to the Univ. of Louisville named Patrick Huges...Words can not explain just watch

Sure did, it's getting me pumped and I am not even doing anything...

Yup, I love his pre-performance speeches...

Anytime we step onto the field he wants us to spill our guts out and to not get tired as the show goes on...He wants us to tune out the crowd completely, you shouldn't be able to pick out a face...everyone is faceless...He told us to get "arrogant" which is a tactic that he uses to help us build confidence...

What was wrong with the kid that fell on the field, and what happened in your 'pre-show'(lol) we were on the other side of the field and I am nearsighted so I really couldn't make out what was going on besides people running.... "Now that folks, is entertainment"-Announcer...

Oh yeah, forgot to mention that, congratulations on coming in 2nd, I didn't get to see your show but I heard it was really well done...

Oh I think I may have seen you..not too sure...but the discrepancy between the 2 judges was amazing, one had us well into finals and another just out...Now I know how Summit felt at Area B finals last year...

I am not too sure to what you did but the way you wrote this suggesst that you are truly sorry for what you said.

Oh well, next contest, now that I know what you look like, i'll be sure to say hello or something....Oh yeah a freshmen girl from sherman hit on one of tenor sax players and put her # in his phone...funniest crap ever...We were going to call her on the bus but he deleted her number...

6-3 en route to our best season ever... Playoff bound...Last game against Mansfield for second place in district 4-5A

Yeah none of the 4A bands were really focused on this competition to be honest, it was more of a way to see how they stack up against the other 4A bands, and you guys at Centennial... No not a single Centennial person said that...PSH and PESH were having a chanting contest after the Finals results were announced... so yeah disrespect was abundant esp. from someone at PSH who was throwing popcorn? Are we not in high school?

It was annoying, I really wanted to deck the Allen kid...the whole "JK Sherman, it's Dripping Springs" was messed up on so many different levels...I hated the 4A State bound bands that were all like "We are going to state on Monday!?" in arrogant and pompous manner...I wish I could tell you how many times I heard that...

Who us? We were waiting for some people to arrive from SAT(or was it ACT?) testing, which made us uber duber late...

What did that chick say about our guard uniforms?

I just wish we would have done better...Because 4 years ago that was the first performance of this school's band was on that field and this year's seniors were all freshmen then and now they have their grand(or not so grand) finale...

Were you the chick that was standing next to do the do that said "I just want to pick up their drums and start playing"? Yeah we didn't even see him when we got back to school he got into his 'stang and drove off...I think we should have practiced...Do you have the full results from prelims and finals because I heard in prelims one judge had us 2nd and the other 11th? :S

Haha, your GF goes to Summit doesn't she

We haven't practiced since UIL (Which is partly the director's fault but we still should have done better) and the electronics were tampered with which made one of the synthesizer uber duber loud and fuzzy...Some of the marching stuff was bad, spacing, blatty sounds...all in all I heard and seen us perform much better and it didn't help that during prelims whichever band that was in the all black sitting in the lower left corner of the(from performer's view) yelled "Boo get off the field" and that after the final results were read someone from the Allen band yelled to us as we walked by "Haha you lost" I was so agitated I was going punch him in the face if I saw him again...and then we met a lot of weird...Like we have this black saxophonist named Vince and a trombonist named Joefil and they went to go get concessions and they saw these Aledo I think they were guard girls and they were all acting weird around Vince say stuff like "I love black people..." and all that mess and Joefil asked how many black people do you have in your band and she said emphatically "THREE!" that so freaking funny and there was this one girl that passed by our pit and she was all like "Oooh they are in scrubs, what is the theme of your show?" and one of the guys in pit said "Asylum, the place where all the crazy people go" and she was like "Oh cool I think my friend went there" and she just walked away...XD

Will there be a full break down of the judges scores? I heard one judge had us second in marching and another eleventh ...

Crank That Matrix Boy....

Aye, fair enough...

Haha I got to Timberview XD Haha I change my sig so everyone can know now...

Look for a band whose pit is in scrubs, and whose colorguard is in straight jacket like uniforms It's called "Asylum" it's an original arrangement by Daniel Montoya Jr. (Who is a member of these forums XD) front ensemble arrangement by Ben Scearce drill done by Todd Dixon (Ex-Summit and Current Wylie Band Director) featuring "You Have You Got It in You" by Imogen Heap, "Shadowplay" from Cirque Du Soleil's Ka, "Der Traum des Oenghus, Teil 2" by Rudin, "Mishima Opening" From "Mishima" by Glass, "Libera Me" from "Interview with a Vampire" by Goldenthal...

For real, I always thought A&M was in College Station...I know College Station is just south of Bryan....
