Montoya Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 Hello all. I figured that I would get the answer quicker if I posted on this here forum. Can anyone tell me who the marching band arranger was/is for each band (4A and 5A only, please) that won State Marching Contest? **will edit as posts come along** 1990 - Duncanville (5A) - 1991 - Dickinson (4A) - 1992 - Spring (5A) - 1993 - Dickinson (4A) - 1994 - Spring (5A) - 1995 - Belton (4A) - 1996 - Westfield (5A) - Mark Higginbotham 1997 - Mesquite Poteet (4A) - 1998 - Westfield (5A) - Mark Higginbotham 1999 - Coppell (4A) - 2000 - LD Bell (5A) - Mark Higginbotham 2001 - Cedar Park (4A) - Mark Higginbotham 2002 - Duncanville (5A) - 2003 - Richland (4A) - Mark Higginbotham 2004 - LD Bell (5A) - Don Hill 2005 - Mesquite Poteet (4A) - Just trying to find out for research purposes. Thanks for everyone's help! Quote
mbui Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 Mark Higginbotham also arranged for Westfield (5A) in 1996 & 1998 and Richland (then 4A) in 2003. Quote
Xenon Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 Duncanville 2002 was done in house as are all Duncanville shows. I'm pretty sure Coppell (4A 1999) does their own arrangements as well and I think the head director at Mesquite Poteet (4A 1997 and 2005) does theirs. I don't know about Cedar Park, but this is definitely the place to ask. Quote

bariphonium Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 And long, long ago, the Celtics used to be really good. But it still counts. Quote

gavinrh Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 One of the Spring championships were arranged by Bill Watson, I think I remember him telling us about how he wrote a show because people thought it was unfair to use drill writers/arrangers and the show he made was really bad, but they won state anyways. I have no idea how this discussion got started during rehearsal, but yeah, one of them were arranged by him. Quote
Xenon Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 Well, the only years that Spring won state were 1992 and 1994. I think that Higgenbotham wrote 1994, so it was probably 1992. Quote
gavinrh Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 It's actually pretty unlikely Mark Higginbotham arranged 1994 because he was a student in the band in 1993. Quote
actualgirltrombone Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 Huh? I think I've seen Mark Higgenbotham, and if memory serves he was not that young... Quote

mbui Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 I would not be surprised if Mark Higginbotham wrote for Spring in 1994. Because....the first original composition that he ever wrote for a marching band was in 1995 for Westfield HS ("Into the Unknown") Higgy is only in his 30's. Quote

aggietrumpet327 Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 Coppell (4A 1999) used David Mairs. He's done all of Coppell's arrangements for years. Quote
