The facts he gave are his "opinion"...? That sounds pretty screwed o.o

Fair enough.

... Does that matter? It's still important. In competitions like BOA, GE is a huge factor. And oh, trust me, I totally get you on the cleanliness vs difficulty thing... But hey, that's the way it goes. And okay, well you can say that, but I don't think bands like Mcneil, Akins, Anderson, etc have music that's too extremely more difficult than RR's. And as a further extension on the difficulty of our guard, well, if you followed us at all in '09, you might have seen that our guard was very small and well... not very good. Completely terrible actually. The disappointment throughtout the season caused the majority of any of the guard we had to quit. We worked really hard to gather up girls and ask them to join guard for this season. We also got a new guard director. So he did not give them extremely difficult flag work, as 95% of our guard this year is either a freshman, or was not in it previously.

Hm. Well I'm sorry that you think we're playing ninja the whole time. It's actually referred to as 'visuals', which contribute to the general effect of the show, which is actually scored. Shocking, right? Round Rock has been crticised in the past for not being thematic with their shows. So I mean really, what do you want? And um... the percussion feature, well... Our drumline is insane, I'm not going to be humble about it. That whole movement is a marching feature, a drum feature, and an auxilary feature. Again, all of which are scored. And our guard seems weak? Well, I think after winning first place in auxilary, they'd beg to differ. Also, aside from the drum break, the winds are playing literally nonstop through the first and second movements, and through the whole fourth movement. So I don't know where people are getting this idea that we 'hardley play'.

Oh dang, how very observant of you. Haha, might be the same computer, but not the same person. MavBand15 knows.

? Okay? That was actually a legitimate question, but allllllright.

Okay, so who actually writes the percussion music? The percussion DIRECTOR, or you?

It's still obnoxious.

Okay you're totally right, the band doesn't play at all. At least they're not using a temple block metronome throughout the entire show to keep time. But to each his own... Right?

Remember back in the old days when Mcneil used the bunny rabbit costume and the bed? Just sayin'.

Yeah, they definitely still do it.
