DumbBandLoser Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 Now I might be wrong (cause I ain't too bright), but I found videos of Wakelands performances that I don't believe have been posted to the forums just yet. https://youtu.be/YfMEPU4Ntkw?si=gzp-uB60EmKYpx97 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be the way they recorded the video, but i do have to say, I'm listening and I notice a distinct lack of tenor brass voices (Bari's and Tbones). The balancing seems way off, but maybe that's just me. Beanbag52 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North should do good and again it's cool that they've found an indentity for themselves, however I think they should shoot for a little more variation from year to year. They've even been using these props for three straight years since 2022. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say prop wise its purely budgetary, McKinney North is generally less well off than Boyd and even High, and that prop was one they made in 2022 that they are kinda forced to use until they can have enough people to properly fund for more, so unless they still ONLY have that prop by 2026, they should definitely be cut some slack on the prop scene Music wise they do need some variation, the intro kinda feels like a mashup between the last 2 jazz shows in a way, and the ballad feels like 2023 2.0, which isn’t inherently bad, but as a viewer Id like to see more distinction between the shows musically since this year is gonna cause some identity fazing between the past few years Although Im extremely happy aboutt their recruitment, they are a much bigger size WITH an alternate block, which they havent had in a long time bow_nerd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This area is of course affluent with its exceptions but I think it’s odd to say just because a band isn’t building new props every year that they are some how forced to continue to use what they have, when there seems to be no problems.

Dave609 Posted Sunday at 01:42 AM Share Posted Sunday at 01:42 AM I found a video that includes both Lovejoy and Anna's performance. The halftime performance for Lovejoy starts at 2:18:33 since they played an ad around the time that they begin the performance. Anna is around 2:30:09.

jamminsalmon_ Posted yesterday at 03:28 PM Share Posted yesterday at 03:28 PM I was planning on going to this contest but we ended up having an afternoon rehearsal on that Tuesday. If only Lewisville ISD had a similar band showcase… MyHornIsFrench 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
