blahaha Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 Of course I care, let me run down what I know of the Rio Grande Valley band's repertoire: Edinburg HS: Harmonium -Canon in D -Wild Nights -Lord's Prayer -Ostinato from Mikroskosmos Donna HS: The Fire Within -Firebird Suite -Ritual Fire Dance -Fire of Eternal Glory Harlingen HS: Cirque Du Soleil's La Nouba -Not sure in the specific titles for mvts. Harlingen South HS: A Day In The Life... -Morning -Dusk -Nightlife Mcallen HS: Terminal Velocity -Original composition? That is all i know off the top of my head, more to come later... Just to add to that, McAllen HS: Terminal Velocity New Rhythmics (From Minimally Speaking) - Saucedo Layers (From Minimally Speaking) - Sauccedo ??? - Key Poulan Harlingen South HS: A Day in the Life... Morning: Fanfare for a New Era - Jack Stamp Dusk: Nightscapes - Yozviak Nightlife: Push - Robert Smith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trumpetman1288 Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 Oh, and add to RGV repetoire... Edinburg North: A Series of Familiar Themes (or something along the lines of that) -Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring and other familiar themes I'll give you a better update on that once I can get it...we played them and I was rather disappointed with their performance. I think their old director (Willy Perez) left and became Edinburg ISD's fine arts director. If that is the case, then that would explain quite a bit. Despite this, I still wish North the best of luck and hope that they have a great season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edinburg also played the heck out of their show, as well.

trumpetman1288 Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 I hope they can recover too...It would be sad to see the program that Mr. Perez built up go down the drain in the matter of a year. Although they aren't a Valley powerhouse anymore, they represented the Valley pretty well in the early to middle 90's and were the closest 5A school from the Valley to making state finals...that is, if my sources are correct. Anyways, despite that, they have been a fairly respectable program for the past 15+ years of their existence, so once again, best of luck to them.

They also made BOA finals out of the valley for quite some time also. I had a relative that was in that really awesome ENHS band back then. I'm sure they will recover. Maybe not top 5 in Area G but maybe finals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenon Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Well, even though I saw Berkner Friday I still don't know what they are playing. They only played their spirit show... <_> Duncanville will be playing at Coppell this week and from what I hear Coppell will be playing Hindemith. I'll report on which pieces after the game.

Yeah...someone besides Harlingen Nothing against them, but other bands down here are finally starting to catch up with them. Granted, they are still fairly dominant, but we'll see what is in store for this season. I am hearing a lot of great things about Harlingen South and Edinburg, so we'll see where those guys end up. I think Harlingen's show will be extremely entertaining this year. If it's a high power show like they usually have, I see a lot of good things for them this year.

I'll report on which pieces after the game. They're playing Hindemith's Symphony in E-flat. I haven't had a chance to see them (I'm not sure I will this year), but from what I hear, the music is "weirder than ever," but the visual program is better than ever. I'll be interested in hearing what you think if you see them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a high power show like they usually have, I see a lot of good things for them this year. Here is what i have to say about that: My school played them on friday, and to tell you the truth, it did not have that "WOW" factor HHS usually has. Fundamentals need quite a bit of work, not to mention they didn't have a visual show. They even ripped off the Reagan plume head move thingy Other than that, they should do good, but i am being really picky so don't take it the wrong way. Strictly RGV predictions: Sharyland Harlingen Harl. South Donna Edinburg Not exactly in that order, but it is hard to call so early in the year. Not having seen everybody yet.

Trumpet Master Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Harlingen HS Band Update: They did not march their whole show this past week, but instead marched 4/6 of their show. That is very interesting, usually HHS has their show done by this time of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
