I usually don't reply to these type of things, but after seeing another member's posts from Churchill HS i was pretty disappointed. As a senior band member and president of the Churchill Band, I would like to apologize again for some of the things said by one of our members on this thread; I can say with confidence that he was alone in his stance, and that the rest of the Churchill Band is very grateful just to qualify for state and we are looking forward to another opportunity to preform, hopefully two. I think quite often, when you are on the field preforming, emotions get involved and we tend to confuse energy with quality and in our case I have a feeling that is what happened to us in finals. Good luck to all the bands that advanced to state from Area D, it was an outstanding competition, and by the way, I agree that Connally did great in finals and should have advanced to state. Can't wait to see everyone one again, all the best this next week!
