Rowlett MEB

Coming from Rowlett, sadly, your question is fairly true... We always aimed to make state but once we got there, we soon realized it's anyone's game. I graduated from Rowlett this past June and only went to state once which was in 2010. We were so excited because we didn't make it in 2008 because Area C only had 19 bands make 1s in their region. We got first by a longshot in prelims and thought we had it in the bag, which explains our poor finals performance, therefore, being the alternate band... No one in the band in 2010 had ever been a participant in the SMC and had not experienced the sound of the Alamodome, the pressure of making finals, and the nerves that come with the contest. However, their show this year is awesome, great music and kick-butt marching. It's what we've always been known for, marching and playing our butts off. But now that there are light up props and better marching and playing than I've ever seen outta my alma matter, I and what everyone else should do, is give them a shot, being last in prelims should hopefully give them an advantage over anyone else. GOOD LUCK ROWLETT!!! GIVE 'EM heck!!! I'll be cheering you on in the stands.
