the terminator Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 borchnork said: We have uil/area/state then two really out there ones. Carollton Tournament of Champs. and the Little Elm Marching Classic... we should have gone to Birdville instead. Yeah, I agree that does kind of suck. I believe Carrollton and Birdville are on the same day, so switch those, and you can switch Plano East for Little Elm. (We are going there too ), and maybe add the Hurst Euless Bedford one in the end of September Quote
crazyjakeup Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 yeah we went to HEB but there was uil that same night for area b... so we won that... Quote
the terminator Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 We have our first sectional tomorrow, but our head band director won't be there b/c he is still traveling with the Cadets, but he will see us in the Mesquite one next Thursday. Can't wait Quote
borchnork Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 hmm, we're finally competing against Wakeland and Liberty then. Fun. haha. Carollton isn't THAT bad of a competition. In fact, Rowlett, Hebron and PESH were there last year, so hopefully some simillar names show up. Quote

borchnork Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 YUP you will. And Hopefully you won't be seeing us in 10th place like last year. Quote

The reason why there were so many top bands there last year was because it was one of the only early season marching contests. Quote
borchnork Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 yah, I knew that. We were told that before we knew every band going. I guess everything this year is a little "earlier" in the season cus we're starting later. Quote
crazyjakeup Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 i we have bad luck a carrollton... my 11th grade year we were in 2nd place in pre-lims, then droped down to 5th in finals... this last year we got 4th or 3rd... birdville always rains on us, my fishy year we got 3rd.... Quote
SerialSleeper90 Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 We're going to Little Elm MoC?! not to sound conceded but... DOUBLEYOU-TEE- EFF?!?! Man... atleast my friends and I got our butts to go see 5A area. Can't remember, which, but it was a big one. LD, Allen, Summit, Richland (or something like that), Haltom, and many other pretty-darn-good bands were there. Quote
crazyjakeup Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 area b... you forgot marcus, hebron, keller, and a few more Quote
SerialSleeper90 Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 Oi. I can't believe I forgot those 3. Actually, its cuz I've seen those guys many times before, I couldn't place them. I know I saw Hebron's show 6-7 times and Marcus 2 or 3. Quote

andrhs Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 lol i remembered my school getting ready to perform exhibition at (birdville)n it was rainy like crazy we were tryin to have a confidence boosting show,,but all the rain made but like 5 people go indoors,soo we got no crowd reaction,,it felt weird... soo hopefully it will b sunny this year Quote
borchnork Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 OH! Birdville Prelims... My favorite performance. We were playing October, our ballade, and it had rained earlier, so it was really cloudy throughout the opener (tempered steel). But as we played October, the sun started coming out, and as we hit the climax of October, it was shinning full and bright, and as the song ended, the sun faded away... aw, god, my favorite. it gave me chills.

SerialSleeper90 Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 and then... we lost to Fossil Ridge. Nobuo Uematsu darn you! Quote
takigan Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 Fossil Ridge's '06 show reminds me a lot like Westfield '04.....same composer I know, but it's like they chose the exact same pieces :/.....I liked it though....and the crowd seemed to as well. Uematsu is a genius. And Tempered Steel and October? That's a good combination.....I love Tempered Steel, it's like the perfect opener....Georgetown did it as our opener for 2000 when we went to the 5A State marching contest......and October is like the perfect ballad--2 of my favorite pieces ever in the same show, how cool . Quote
borchnork Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 mm.. It was a good combo. Our directors are good at pairing songs together that transition well. Quote
