whitewing09 Posted July 7, 2007 Posted July 7, 2007 why dont you do some research... uil webpage... Quote
borchnork Posted July 7, 2007 Posted July 7, 2007 ehh... yah I could do that... But then again, I'm lazy. I think they are on txbands directory, so I'll check there first. Quote
crazyjakeup Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 jj pearce was on a down slide the past couple of years... but who knows they may come back... Quote
borchnork Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 Yah, we saw them at Duncanville last year, and I wasn't highly impressed. They beat us, but I'm not quite sure what everybody else thought. Quote
whitewing09 Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 so confusing for some reason i have no clue about anything in 4A Quote
borchnork Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 Really?? 4A is ... well it's obviously not 5A level competition, but it's amazingly fun. Hopefully this forum helps? If it makes you feel any better, I hadn't heard of a lot of these 4A bands (like Connally and Hendrickson) until reading this post. Quote
crazyjakeup Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 i only know a little bit about 4a... OOOooo... i wonder if rowlett can beat duncanville within the next two years??? Quote
borchnork Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 Duncanville is an amazing high school (it's like a mini town!) Maybe Rowlett could. It's always possible in the world of Texas Bands. Quote
the terminator Posted July 9, 2007 Author Posted July 9, 2007 Come to think of it, I haven't ever seen Ducanville Quote
crazyjakeup Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 they dont do boa (neither do we... but we used to)... they usually gear more twords uil type of contests... Quote
the terminator Posted July 10, 2007 Author Posted July 10, 2007 No wonder they got so high at state this year. I believe 3rd after Marcus and LD Bell Quote
whitewing09 Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 i disliked their 2004 show it was so boring i only know the Austin 4A bands like Conally Henderickson Lake Travis etc Quote
crazyjakeup Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 yeah they stick to the basics and do them with extream accuracy... they have been doing that longer than anyone... i think they are top 3 at state for the last 20 some years... Quote
borchnork Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 Yah at the DMI when they were announced they said: "Please welcome in exhibition, the ONLY 5A band to have made state for the past 15 consecutive years, The Duncanville (w/e the mascot it) Marching band!!" it wasn't an impressive show (musically entertaining wise), but they did it really really well. Quote
whitewing09 Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 ehh in my opinion marching band is more then just being clean Quote
borchnork Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 true, but being clean is the foundation that you should start with. I'd rather watch a flawless safe performance than a sloppy mess w/ a cool show idea. Quote
crazyjakeup Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 yeah and for those who think that we have whats called BOA... Quote
borchnork Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 unless your director is purely UIL oriented. Quote
borchnork Posted July 15, 2007 Posted July 15, 2007 sadly enough. I'd kill to go to boa over state..... Quote
whitewing09 Posted July 15, 2007 Posted July 15, 2007 crazyjakeup said: yeah and for those who think that we have whats called BOA... not really go look at the bell show on youtube many people agree that they would have won if their drill was a little cleaner Quote
the terminator Posted July 15, 2007 Author Posted July 15, 2007 borchnork said: sadly enough. I'd kill to go to boa over state..... Same here, I have never seen any of those top bands close up b/c we don't go to any major competitions. Still we are trying to persuade our director to do so, b/c we don't have state for the next two years Quote
borchnork Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 they are 3A again this year, and next year they'll be 4A, so they'll miss out... Quote
