Tubalord11 Posted Saturday at 01:56 PM Share Posted Saturday at 01:56 PM Super impressive performance from Dawson!! Love this visual design of this show so much, lots of vis GE with the different visuals/bodywork. Super cool moment in the ballad with the guard circling around the smaller circle the band has created, really effective design. Musically, yeah, I see why they won Honor band, because these kids can play. Amazing flute soloist throughout, a couple of entrance timing issues in the start of the ballad with the saxes, but their ensemble sound is super mature and very bright, really big brass sound but very controlled. Great job ya'll! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarchingMafia Posted Saturday at 02:13 PM Share Posted Saturday at 02:13 PM I don't know how Marcus makes such big sound for such a small band! And y'all I swear I don't think those kids ever stop moving. Good grief, this band throws goosebumps every time I see them perform. The brass again killing it and the overall musical ensemble just smashing it. WanderingTraveler and Tubalord11 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tubalord11 Posted Saturday at 02:16 PM Share Posted Saturday at 02:16 PM That was INSANE Marcus, for an 8 am performance. They are still the Marcus marching concert band and will be till the end of time. The musical maturity and sounds this group continues to produce year after year is something that will always be super magical. They play with so well everything: dynamics, contrasts in dark and light sounds, top notch soloists, an unreal drumline, you name it, they do it. The brass feature at the start of the second movement, unreal. Not to mention that insane guard, the double flag work in the ballad was just so beautiful. Love finally getting to see the whole show, and the props are a really cool effect. Such a stunning performance, fantastic job Marcus!

packwick Posted Saturday at 02:45 PM Share Posted Saturday at 02:45 PM cp (college park) will always have my heart. seem to be understanding the marching side of things more and more each yr. really doing a better job of getting that sound up to the press box. they could prob just hire some vis and design consultants and be done w/ it. guard still strong. A class now?? also is that miss dillard's daughter?? ugh, i've gotten olddd... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetliner Posted Saturday at 03:03 PM Share Posted Saturday at 03:03 PM If you didn't tell me the time on the clock, I'd assume this is a primetime afternoon block the way the bands have been performing.

Tubalord11 Posted Saturday at 03:12 PM Share Posted Saturday at 03:12 PM It's still crazy that this school is only in its 4th year of existence, and they already (and have since the school opened) so good!! Have really enjoyed seeing the evolution of their show of the season, super pretty ballad, really cool effect with the flute duet, which has been nails all season long. Love this visual work a lot as well, great job today, Rock Hill! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tubalord11 Posted Saturday at 03:56 PM Share Posted Saturday at 03:56 PM Great job Mckinney!! Box5 doesn't due the bands volume justice, because they have some power! Love the trombone feature after that powerful opener, super pretty sounds from the Flugelhorn. Guard was SO good, great use of the tarps to create some GE, awesome performance Mckinney!

Popular Post Tubalord11 Posted Saturday at 04:14 PM Popular Post Share Posted Saturday at 04:14 PM Well, as to no surprise, Hebron was nothing short of what the best in the country are. From start to finish, it was simply magical. I really love this show, not only because its being executed on such a high level, but because it's one of their "easier" shows (for their standards) which has allowed them to be so much cleaner and it really shows. Drill was nearly flawless, and they sounded just unreal, that Enigma ballad, so emotional. And their guard has built off their success from the last WGI season, and it's showing. It's going to be tight for the top spot, but I wouldn't be surprised if they take it, outstanding job Hebron klkflute, AWF2014, Parkwoodmom and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaultLineBlues Posted Saturday at 04:18 PM Share Posted Saturday at 04:18 PM Hebron has some crazy crazy talented kids, man. I think (for prelims at least) that I give FloMo the slight edge, but that could be easily changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
