takigan Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 This is nuts....you can take that red bar and drag it all the way down into the mid-20s, and you'd still be dealing with bands that are finals-worthy.....a lot of phenomenal bands are going to get the shrug from the judges and walk away from this contest without a finals spot.....heck, you're going to have GIANTS (Langham Creek, Berkner, Spring, Hebron, Cy Falls, Woodlands: College Park; just for example) that are going to be going all out, perform their best show all year and STILL not get a finals spot! Usually one well-versed in which schools are hot and which are not can generally pick 9 or 10 bands that are always going to make it and line them up for this contest leaving 4 or 5 spots that are up for grabs for whoever wants it the most....but this has to be the first regional where you have more surefire hits than there are finalist spots. Crazy! Quote

My money's on Marcus. I'm not sure what you really have against us, but I can guarantee you we're going to be very focused and competitive come 12:15 PM. Anyways, hope to see some of you at the MeetMe. Good luck to everyone! Quote
urkadrums Posted November 3, 2007 Posted November 3, 2007 So we performed at 1:15pm yesterday in the first block. We weren't really happy with our time, but we made the best of it. I hadn't played in the alamodome since my fresman year in 05, but I instantly remembered how the delay sounded when we had to set up our pit equipment to the side of the field to wait for the band before us to play. The shock from the center snare that echoed clearly many times, the announcements that sounded like complete gibberish when they announced the band, it was an instant flood of focus to find the first sound, and I was fiercely hoping our freshman and sophmores that hadn't played there yet were doing the same. As we wait for the band to play, we (the pit) turn our backs from them and tune them out so we can focus on our performance. The only thing I listened to from Columbus HS was the first battery hits I heard, so I would know what to hear when our band got on the field. Our performance was extremely good. For the pit, our best band competition performance, considering the conditions and how easily we could have tore from the band. The band directors couldn't stop jumping up and down, and I smirked at my fellow marimbas when we hit some of our most loud impacts and runs on time, and when our trumpet soloists hit their high notes and trills perfectly in tune (we're supposed to look cocky and confident anyway :]). Good luck to all the other bands that performed yesterday, and to all the bands that perform today. I know we (Georgetown) is considered one of the "unknown"s, and that to make finals as an "unknown" is extremely difficult, but we achieved a great performance that we put all of our heart into, and accomplished so many goals, and well, thats all that matters.

Donezo Posted November 3, 2007 Posted November 3, 2007 Ok, so the finals list on the txbands live page is missing one. I'm guessing it's either Haltom or Clear Brook. Any word? Quote
G'townPIT Posted November 3, 2007 Posted November 3, 2007 it's the winner of class AA or A, I don't know which. So, Hidalgo or Roma. ...not! Quote

Xenon Posted November 3, 2007 Posted November 3, 2007 Thanks for pointing it out. I have added Haltom to the list to fix it. Quote
Fata1 Posted November 3, 2007 Posted November 3, 2007 Looks like Roma isn't performing anymore. Tonight is starting with Brazoswood at 7:15. Quote
