Fata1 Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 Yeah. It was the biggest shock I've ever received. I don't even know what happened. All I know is that on Friday night, we gave an amazing performance. Definitely would've received straight 1s. Saturday morning rehearsal went great. We took the field at Burleson and everything fell apart. Anything that could go wrong, did. It's depressing. Anyway, now that we're out of the running, I'm supporting you guys all the way. Quote

I had you guys placing 4th or 5th easily at Area. This is way more shocking than Mckinney's results. I'm really sorry to hear what happened. Your support is greatly welcomed and appreciated though!

ddmwingz Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 yea, thanks for the support. on a more official note. THIS JUST IN! TENTATIVE AREA B SCHEDULE: http://uilforms.com/regions/2/AREA%20MARCH...07-Schedule.pdf Quote
Fata1 Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 Thanks. I actually felt confident that we could've made state with our Friday night performance but as soon as we played our last note yesterday, I knew we'd get a II. Tomorrow is going to be one emotional band rehearsal. Quote
borchnork Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 wait... there's only 6 spots in finals??? shouldn't there be 10 if 20 bands make area? Quote
Fata1 Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 It might be a mistake. I don't see why they would have a judges break before the last band. It seems messed up. Quote
ddmwingz Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 i think they left it off for now just because its not an official schedule. im pretty sure he just wanted the band directors to have a general idea of when they would perform Quote

Drillz Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 According to the schedule, it seems we have a pretty decent Prelims performance time 2:00pm! I feel sorry for all of the bands that have to go early in the morning. Quote

I'm glad we're going so late! Saturday is going to be one amazing contest. I'm looking forward to it. =] Quote
Fata1 Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 I think I might go just to watch. I know a few people who are also thinking about going. Quote

Our assistant director's parents are flying out from St. Louis to come and watch us at area. and if we make state, her sister may come and bring her niece and nephew. Quote

I don't know if I would be able to stay until finals, though. I'd also have to find someone else who's going. Quote

GenericWit Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 Depends... can you fit inside a hatbox? Haha... But yeah... we need lots of support. We all do. Everyone's gotta be on edge knowing we have about 6 really downright amazing bands including 3 state finalists in our region and only 4 spots to go to state. It's only Wednesday, and I'm nervous... Heck, I've been nervous since Saturday when we got our results. Haha. Quote

I really can't wait to find out the results. I'm almost positive about the top 3 but that fourth spot is a wild card. I really think you guys are going to pull through and take it though. I hope you all do. Quote
GenericWit Posted October 26, 2007 Posted October 26, 2007 Hmm well... the sousa cases are round so... can you be a contortionist for a while? Haha. I hope we more than make it as a wild card, though. Quote
