jbrih13 Posted November 18, 2007 Posted November 18, 2007 This year my band marched 157 or 158 sets. Of all 4 years of marching this was the hardest show I have ever marched, musically and physically. Quote
rpd Posted November 18, 2007 Posted November 18, 2007 ~150, Which is almost double what we did last year. Easily our hardest show ever. It was so physically demanding compared to previous years. Our director writes our drill, and he says its only going to get harder. Quote
selby Posted November 18, 2007 Posted November 18, 2007 Creekview had, 72 I think? That's about half of what we had last year, but granted it was a different drill writer. It felt like nothing this year though... Quote
JustAddWat3r Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 how do u clean a 150 set show? we had exactly 100 sets this year and it was exhausting. i dont think we ever stop moving for more than 12 counts Quote

I meant ~120. Our new directors have VERY high standards. Edited November 19, 2007 by rpd Quote
JustAddWat3r Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 ahh thats reasonable. hmm...i wonder what kind of show were gonna have next year.. Quote
itsstephenyo Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 (edited) I don't see how a band can march over 100 sets. Heck, Marian Catholic back in the 80's and 90's when they consistently WON Grand Nats averaged around 100 sets, although that was usually for a 10-11 minute show. And now we have bands with 130+ sets in a less than 8 minute show. No wonder no TX band has won the visual caption at GN. Just too many sets. Edit: Whoops. Typo.

nsroach Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 I just checked mine and we had 95 sets in this year's show. I can see how people could have more, though. There were points in the show where no one on the field was moving for a while. I bet you could easily get into the 150s if you had little standstill in your show. Quote
Kitten Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 75? really long sets almost every set had a sub-set starts (and stays mostly, except for the ballad) at 172 bmp Quote
borchnork Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 78 sets for us. But 90% of our opener sets were longer than 12 counts, so we could have had quite a bit more. Quote
Fata1 Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 We had 97 sets for a six and a half minute show. Quote
JustAddWat3r Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 wonder how many sets bell had for a 13 min show... Quote
borchnork Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 JustAddWat3r said: wonder how many sets bell had for a 13 min show... 777. haha, that'd be awesome. Quote
Fata1 Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 borchnork said: 777. haha, that'd be awesome. Awesome and crazy. There'd be some dead kids by the end of the show. Quote
borchnork Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 Fata1 said: Awesome and crazy. There'd be some dead kids by the end of the show. well, if they have as many kids as Allen does, they can fill holes pretty quickly. Quote

"I think he's dead." *points at timid little student* "You! Go drag his body to the sidelines and fill his hole. NOW!!" Quote

My mom just gave me a weird look. It'd be creepy though if LD Bell's whole trilogy had 666 sets. Quote

Haha ridiculous. well, 3 11 minute shows... I can actually see it happening. LIke Fata1 said, there would be quite a few dead kids by the end of the show. But those kids who started the trilogy as freshmen are going to have a breeze doing anything they want now. I'm glad programs like L.D. Bell, Avon, Carmel and all the other BOA bands are improving so dramatically each year. It just adds to a better DCI program in the future. Quote
