ClaireAnnette07 Posted October 9, 2006 Posted October 9, 2006 Congrats to Pearland for getting 1st...I heard yall were really awesome! Quote
ClaireAnnette07 Posted October 9, 2006 Posted October 9, 2006 Yeah..I think it was Cy-Springs (??) that started a wave with Deer Park before the Drum Major awards. I happened to be sitting with them and did it too...ahh, good times Quote
Lustra.exe Posted October 9, 2006 Posted October 9, 2006 Cypress Falls got 10th? Aren't they going to GNs??? Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Quote

Guard_Ian Posted October 9, 2006 Posted October 9, 2006 Why would that make it ultra exciting? Excited that they didn't do well at a competition and you beat them? Or excited that you think you are in the same league as them? Or just excited that you finally beat them. Just curious is all. If it is the latter, my apologies. I may have taken offense at this because I know a few people on the inside of that program as well as many other band programs I saw that day. I was at the Galena Park show and saw Cypress Falls, yes, they were a bit rough. Cypress Falls has an extremely difficult show. It is evident from the music they played and the drill they marched. Were they at their usual confident performance levels? No. Why? Because they are taking on a huge challenge. This show is risky and I love to see programs taking a big risk than playing it safe as many programs do. They may have had it rough at this competition but I believe by the end, it will truly be something spectacular to see. Congratulations to Pearland, they played very well and I enjoyed it. Not really sure what the concept was or what the bike tires, stage and pendulum were for, but I enjoyed the sound. Shostakovich and Bernstein shows from the past are still my favorites. Brazoswood, very surprised to see them in 3rd. This band is notorious for playing well....just a bit shocked! Guard will get better. Clear Lake.......surprise of the day. Good for them. Cy-Fair....best fall program they have had in a very long time. The guard looked good, the band sounded good. Friendswood, I really enjoyed this show. The band played well and the guard has never looked better. The guard should do very well in the winter. Great character skills. Cy-Ridge, nice concept. The guard looked strong...nice costuming. Drop the charlie chaplin suit the "main character" wears though. Cy-Springs...I enjoyed the music and visual but I just could not get passed the band uniforms. I get it! But couldn't get past it. Sometimes less is more. Ross Sterling...never seen or heard of this band. Not bad at all. Drill team could be used a bit more effectively. I don't like it when drill writers stick the auxiliary in the back or on the sides and rarely brings them in the band. These are a few of the bands that stuck out to me....sorry I can't remember much else. I was in and out of the stands visiting with people I haven't seen in a very long time. Gotta love competitions, its like a big reunion on top of competing. Quote
PrideOfPearland Posted October 9, 2006 Posted October 9, 2006 Thank you everyone for your kind words on my alamater. They'll be very pleased when I let them know =) Quote

What I meant was that since Creek hasn't always done well (we have our ups and downs from year to year) it was a pleasant surprise to see them scoring above a BOA contender. So I guess that's closest to the last one; excited to finally beat them. Quote

Guard_Ian Posted October 10, 2006 Posted October 10, 2006 thats cool, nothing wrong with that, i'm sure cypress falls would be absolutely thrilled to beat someone like churchill or reagan too. and to the other poster....the lights went out??? that is crazy!! Quote

With the props..... one problem with the show that wasnt made clear was that our show title wasnt announced , all they sed was our music titles that we used .. Our show was called Momentum, another problem was that the circit breaker triped because of the band before us and there was no power for the pit to operate the electronics and microphones ,so we were missing the definitions for the show thats why there was none playing music in some parts of the show . i hope this clear out what the concept for our props and thank you for your comment Quote
Guard_Ian Posted October 10, 2006 Posted October 10, 2006 AHHH Now I totally get it! Very cool idea! Speaking of the announcer, someone could have slipped her a red bul,l she has to be the most dull announcer I have ever heard. Quote

It was the same announcer as Area two years ago (sadly, I remember the voice) I think she needed a little more than some redbull! We decided it would be better if she had a soundboard with prerecorded, excited-sounding audio "Next in today's competition is the..." Quote
ClaireAnnette07 Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 But then again, I've witnessed some VERY peppy announcers and it never fails to make me laugh when I hear them. Too bad I'm usually in the front and the judges may see me trying to refrain from laughing Quote
Dontforgettobreathe Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 lol I attend Cypress springs and yes, the uniforms are funny Quote
Guard_Ian Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 Thats a great attitude to have Miray. I have watched this program for a few years and if any program can get it together it is Cypress Falls. You WILL play well, the drill will get cleaner and you all will be great! I love the concept of the show and the music is fantastic! Quote
