In our school, the percussion section (I mean line AND pit) are the best and hardest working. Funny how that works out.(trying not to be self-serving)

 

Those tpts DO give us a run for their money, though!

I couldnt take the poll because our best section isnt up there.

 

For marching season, Of course percussionist.

 

But for concert season, Our Double Reed section is phenomenal(sp?). Our bassoons, oboes, and English horn players are all extremely talented overall.

 

We also have really strong sections as well..We honestly dont have a best, but I could say we have a really strong player in every section.

yah our drumline would get whooped by most texas ones, but we are the best section in our band and usually score well in comps too... its the best section. we got screwed (up the butt) in Batavia though...argh

I would have to say our trombones...we had 4 make area and 1 miss it by one and we have 5 trombones in our band. Or our percussionists becauase they are all extremely talented and we even had a freshman finish first in area

Last year, in my opinion, it would be a close tie in my opinion between the flutes and the saxophones. They both had about the same number of people all and all make region, but this year, it's a definate that the flute section is our strongest.

Well, if you go by that, then it would be the clarinets who dominate because last year, 4 of us tried out and made area band. But the_drum_major is right....we have a really strong woodwind section and I don't think there is any section out of all the woodwinds that exactly dominates. We're all equally awesome :D

Well lets see. Our all state flute player graduated, so now they suck. We have two good clarinets, but we have about 25 of them total, so they suck too. We had one trombone make district, out of 8, so they suck. We had one french horn player make 2nd chair in state, but the rest suck. We had two trumpets make state, four make area, and about 8-10 make region and district. So the trumpets are definitely the best section in our band =p

 

You listen to a recording of our show, and the only thing you hear is trumpet trumpet trumpet. and drums... but any drummer can be loud.

The best section during marching band at my school is the Baritone/Euphonium line. We are the cleanest, loudest, and just down right good. We were the least ticked section in the band this past season. We had our problems between the section and section leader, but in the end they were resolved. We just strive to be better than the next guy.

During Marching Season i would have to say that our Bariton/Euphonium section. Our Trumpet section woulda been PHENOMINAL but we had a few bozos who screwed everyone over with thier lack of respect and character. In concert season i would have to say its a tie between all our woodwinds and Trumpets (now). I think next year the trumpets will be the best because the two quit and they were seniors anyways.

meh...it all depends who you talk to in my band...i think the low brass are the best section based on success in region and area. Flutes and saxes may be called the worst since only 1 flute made it to region and none from the saxes, and the fact the saxes are the only section in the entire band to not make region (shame...)

our clarinets are defenintly the best. they can read better and they are more upper level. the trumpets are the weakest section. but during marching season. i guess our low brass is. cuz like no one likes to learn the music.

Our saxophone is the most talented, yet least unified group. We have One All-Stater (yours truly), and the rest of the varsity sax section made region band. Can't say that about any other section. :)

I would have to say our percussionist too.

They did get 4th at Lonestar. That's pretty impressive in my eyes.

They also won every percussion caption we got our hands on, so yeah.

Rock Drums are rockin'.

Yeah... That makes no sense. If you are going to separate mallets, then you must separte the drumline and/or the snares, tenors, basses, ect...

 

I suppose we can assume, for the sake of this poll, that "percussion" means drumline and "mallets" means pit/"front ensemble".
