The Brass Messiah

Does anybody know the Marcus show this year and the music to go with it? they are always so secretive about it.

What is Avon's program this year?

It changed the city it says Houston westfield Spring westfield Houstonwestfield typo? edit: beaten to punch

edit: oops forgot my main post, anyways, I like how marching band is right now, I think we should let the artists put as much work and money into it as they want. ummm on a side not I counted 26 tubas in that band, the only band I can think of with close to that many is Allen. lol

lol there would be alot of happy kids and mad directors

agreed... now what to do about that 8 hour rule

No othher 5A bands?

All time favorite Marcus 07 so much relay and connection from preformer to audience, The crickets before the show leading into the anouncment, followed by morning mood made me feel like I was waking up to a beautiful world, not sure what the next part was but it was very energizing, The ladybug was the greatest thing a band has ever done for it's extra's, and it was histarical, I was sobing like a small child who had a splinter in his wrist, during make our garden grow, that soloist in that part has got a future, Id guess Juliard. And the William tell overture was very energetic, an excellent end to an excellent show. Runner up LD Bell 07 - defently A strong show, the girl they used was creepy, escpesially being followed around by the stalking tall yellow/white thing/color gaurd member, The music was impressive, Pans labyrinth's music was never terryfing to me untill I saw this show, the only thing missing was the Pale man, This show was boss.

If im not mistaken Marcus and only one other band have won the state marching contest three times consecutivly, this may be posted, but if some one could clairify, and provide years of the other band and it's name?

thanks for the clairification, it was still amazing though.

personally I like the fluffy plooms more, they exert more dominance, which I feel is the purpose of a ploom, now if they made a shiney peacocky ploom that was also fluffy.... it would be epic lol.

didnt you just contradict your point their?, on a side note did anybody see how much longer Marcus's column was at retreat @ san antonio, that band must be like 350 360 ppl.

uummmm hello? is no one gona say anything about the FREAKEN AWSOME oboe/english horn solo? and the new uni's where cool too!

Thanks for this, I was as well curius about this.

Well I wish this topic didnt exist as clearly when it comes to Marcus, people are not afraid to speak their minds, and Im going to ask one thing, Is that fair to the students who worked so hard, and earned their accolades to feel disliked?

I <3 North Texas

Not my favorite Bell show, but I did like the color gaurd (the green dress not a big fan of the white ones), The war scene was quite axhillerating, and when are you ever gona find a band that will play must from my favorite move Black Hawk Down!?!?! that was SICK! however IMO the Arlington Cemetary style tombstones should not be so spread out, it clusters the feild, but at the same time, It adds to the effect of how many troops we loose in war, so I guess im indifferent. And they where streched across the feild almost the entire show, makes them look big. And their uniforms really looked good this year, I know thats their usual uniforms (minus the pants color) but the all black militiristic uniform contributed to the show quite nicely.

alright my favorites, Marcus - one of the most amazing arrangments by this program ever, well done marcus C.T. Johnson - the colors where pretty, and they nailed the sound Duncanville - That english horn solo was SOOOO beautiful Hebron - Those trees where something new to the table, and they really pulled it off (could have gone w/o the trees in the middle of the feild), but their theme was relayed very well, and they perforemed quite well, and I loved the lamps.

This is exactly correct.
