I heard a rumor that Westlake got 26th. While I'm not certain if I believe it, because that seems ridiculous, can anyone confirm? or maybe just post all of the prelims placements?

We were going to give them 11 dollars after recieving 11th place 4 times in 5 years.

I have heard that Music For All is threatening to go bankrupt and is asking bands/directors to donate money. Anyone have the scoop?

Flying Eagle March- Watson El Salon Mexico- Copland Bells For Stokowski- Daughtery For WASBE: Give Us This Day- Maslanka Hold This Boy and Listen- Pann Pathfinder of Panama- Sousa Horn Concerto #1- R. Strauss Ballad for Band- Gould and Kingfishers Catch Fire- Mackey

This was the most stressful marching season anyone has ever been through. A freshman had a seizure during rehearsal. At area prelims the whole pit came in 4 measures early (due to a d.m. error, i believe). Everyone thought our state chances were over...but we were the last ones announced to make finals (!@#$%%&%^). Then, our charter buses did not show up to take us to boa. We had to call school buses to get us, 3 hours later. And at last, at state, we were the last ones announced to make finals. again. whew.

Actually he was our associate director. Kerry Taylor has been our head director since 1989. And yeah Mr Fugett did percussion too. *sob* he taught me everything I know! *sob*

Lamar Burkhalter is my hero!

Like i tell our guard(winners of outstanding guard), it's about quality, not quantity. good job, summit.

I would like to congratulate Keller for an awesome performance. I thought they would be the winners.

although it may not seem that way to you Westlake's performance in finals was infinitely better than prelims, even with the electronics problems. It had much more energy and the tempo was much more solid. props to WHS.

Too bad we (Westlake) did not come to BOA this year. i was crushed when i heard we were not coming. insted we went to duncanville (and won!) but i think we could be in the finals
