How Much

[ClarinetGlissandoInBlue]

we are done with the second movement, about 47 sets i think. the closer has more pictures than the first two movements combined

(56 i think)

[BassoonPadwan]

I'm not sure the EXACT number but we have three movements. I could ballpark 80-90 adding up the numbered set we end on on each movement. They're not the cleanest things in the world though. Long ways to go.

 

I can't wait to see what are fourth movement is gonna look like also! That's for next week....

Same here, in fact we finished the whole show. It's about 75 sets, but we will leave out the last 6 or 7 for our performance. Yeah, third movement is pretty bad, so we are in a frenzy to clean as much as possible

[oDesign]

langham has about 10 sets on the field right now.

..the least of any school in houston, mostly thanks to our horrible drill writer.

(who was fired a week or so ago and replaced by Mark Chambers, who is actually doing what we pay him to do correctly)..and we've been getting alot of rain.

What sucks most about being so behind, is that this is going to be our first year ever at Super Regionals, so we were already going to be out of our element since its BOA.

 

oh man, this years really going to be interesting.

Only good thing is my band always has really clean sets to begin with (seeing as we spend forever learning them), so once the show IS done, we need less time to clean than most bands.

but still, WE NEED TO LEARN MORE SETS

The rain slowed us down last week but we finally got movement 2 down. Our school only has 3 mvmts total and only 80ish charts when its all over. Right now I think we're at 45 or something like that. Next week we'll perform the second movement of our show for our game against Bryan.

we just received the third mvmt.'s drill today, so we marked about 8 sets, but only marched through about 4 or 5 of them... It takes us up to set 41... and what we have drill wise right now takes us almost to the end of the mvmt. 3, so hopefully we start the closer in the next 2 weeks!

[the terminator]

good for you for us a total of about 70

[borchnork]

our show is very firework oriented... idk how to really describe it...

 

like, in our 2nd mvmt, the woodwinds hold for 24 counts in these circles, but then in 8 counts, double, or almost triple the size of the circles.

 

and then in our 3rd mvmt. the first 2 or 3 sets looks like little firecrackers exploding.

 

I love things that go "BOOM!!!"

[ClarinetGlissandoInBlue]

we actually only have 64 numbered sets. however, there are many many many sub-sets. example, we have 50a-i and 52a-j (we've just learned through the 52j sequence).

[clarinetrocks]

i'm acutally suprised we have a lot of sets done :]

it excites me for the rest of the year

[ClarinetGlissandoInBlue]

we are on course to finish the drill by next monday or even this friday, if weather permits.

[borchnork]

I'd like to make a correction to my last post. our drill that we have goes all the way to the end of the 3rd mvmt.

 

3 down and 1 to go!!!

 

but unfortunately, we hold during the 7/8 bar...

Sounds like alotta chalk. eh?

[ClarinetGlissandoInBlue]

we're finished. today, at practice, we finished setting our last, last set....ever.

 

it's a weird feeling. we're almost done. we will soon leave our ivory tower.

[marcomac29]

We just finished today also. It ended exactly at 100 sets. It's awesome drill... we're gonna' pwn at Carrolton TOC.

 

 

 

well... i hope.

 

 

haha

[rdzsaxplaya]

Working on our closer as i speak

[borchnork]

Finished the 3rd mvmt. in 2 days basically.

 

4th mvmt. next week!!

[barisaxy08]

we just completed 104 sets and are still truckin! the most drill i've ever seen in my marching band career.

[azncmasta]

finished it today! my last time learning show drill in high school...

[ClarinetGlissandoInBlue]

yeah, when we finished the drill, I called a senior meeting regarding our last "last set".

 

class of 08!!! yeah!

[oDesign]

we just got new revised sets for the end of our movement 2 today.

Three sets to go, then we're done with the opener and movement 2.

We'll probably finish that thursday [our next rehearsel]

Whats left is to learn more visuals [tai-chi stuff] this saturday before our game and then learn all of third movement, which is a beast. Its really long in comparison to the first two.

[urkadrums]

finished today.

even though im in the pit, i knew the band was really excited to be finished early.

[yesac519]

We have all the movements down, but are still working with the last 5 sets of the fourth/closer. I'm extremely excited about next saturday at BOA Houston.

[borchnork]

We've started mvmt. 4, and have about everything up to our tempo change learned (which is just under half way). We're going to try to finish this upcoming week!!!
