We always are the smallest 5A bandthat makes finals ( at least in BOA events...)

 

 

dont forget this past marching season, i think SFA had like 100 marchers when they went to BOA grand nationals?

[b_sax_agent]

no, we were the smallest.

 

120 winds, 13 DL, 10 Pit, 15 SC, 27 CG, 2 DM.

 

SFA was the second smallest.

[the terminator]

Let me think I believe we had like 90 winds, 8 drumline, 8 pit, and 12 in guard

[WestCoastCorpsFan]

ha, 220 winds, 17 d-line? I think... and i dont even know about the guard, I guess 20. 25 pit?

[ftwdrummer]

88 winds, 13 DL, 15 pit, 16 guard at Paschal...

 

we were supposed to find out what our show was going to be for the coming year this morning...but our director never got around to it.

[AzNtRoMbOnEcHiCk]

i'm really going to miss playing ya'll in football...

 

 

no offense... =]

 

 

 

 

 

but yeah... we're supposedly getting around 40 trombones next year..?

 

 

that's a rumor though... but yeah, our show is supposed to start with a horn solo... so i'm stoked.

[AzNtRoMbOnEcHiCk]

oh yeah even though we might have 207 people

we will still only march like half the band.

 

weird, i know.

'Nova dropped some hints about the show for next year...he wants to do music from a movie (apparently, one of his favorites), but he's waiting on telling us what movie until after we get rights.

Monty Python's Holy Grail.

 

 

Brave Sir Robin ran away

Bravely ran away, away

When danger reared its ugly head

He bravely turned his tail and fled

Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about

And gallantly he chickened out

Bravely taking to his feet

He beat a very brave retreat

Bravest of the brave, Sir Robin

Are you going to have cocounut solos played by a swallow?

Each of the guard needs to have two coconut halves and clack them together while galloping around and one guard member will have a big huge golden grail and be constantly chased by one of the drum majors. The whole band will yell "Ni!" a couple of times during the drum feature and the finale will have a cow catapulted towards a Trojan Bunny.

[marcomac29]

you should throw cows over the drum major podium!!!

 

 

 

and for g.e.

 

 

 

somehow figure out how to make a really small rock float =D

[borchnork]

we're supposed to find out today... correction... THEY, next years band kids, are supposed to find out today.

 

But I already know. And it's freaking awesome. I'm jealous. I'll wait a little while before saying though

[the terminator]

that's cool, hey what contest are u guys going to, we have Denton, Little Elm, and Centennial. We're having narration again in our show, not sure if I like it b/c that's what annoyed me about the cadets show

[b_sax_agent]

we've had narration/singing for the past four years.

 

I guess it depends on how you do it, and where you put it.

[sax5warrior]

Our marching show will be revealed...sometime later, I mean I already know it but I just don't want to reveal it just yet to all of you.

 

Expect a big brass feature...which gives me a lot of fear.

 

BUT, it will not be as cheesy as last year's.

Mr. Sanchez, suggest this to the Velvet Knights for their 2009 program.

Mr. Balash, with all due respect, VK can't do this for their 2009 program; they're already doing the "Grand Serenade for an Awful Lot of Winds and Percussion" show I posted over on the BOA forums.

I have no clue what contests our school will be doing next year... I don't pay attention to the new schedule. lol.

 

Uhm... I'm not sure the title but our show is essentially Enigma Variations.

 

I've heard a lot about it having to do with like... Pictures? of people (obviously being Elgar's friends that the song is based). There's a bunch of really interesting inside things that I'll lay low for now, but the 2nd and 5th movements of our show both go 180 and I heard that mvmt. three or something is a woodwind quintet the ENTIRE time...

 

and we have a new music arranger... I'm not sure who it is though.

[Fata1]

I'm not sure what contests we're going to either. All I know is that we're doing either a BOA contest or Duncanville. Other than that, I'm not sure.

Enigma is amazing. You all, or at least the juniors and under, are so flipping lucky.

[crazyjakeup]

rowlett's show(so i've been told) will be one big mvt. no breaks, there will be a constant battle between the brass(deep and dark) and ww's(light and pretty). they are talking about having a second front ensamble of just winds and shinking the actual starting line down to 180-200 people... i excpect the guard to have amazing work and be/look very colorful with flags and uniforms... they will have one of the strongest senior classes in rowletts history, hopefully they wont mess it up...
