Off topic but...

Yeah...Brazoswood's show is going to be awesome. Love the music.

 

 

 

And how would you know that, good sir?

Ok... Michael has heard the music, and all we've heard down here are rumors. How does that work (I've heard the possible opener, but that's it. It's all still rumor)?

 

Montoya, you haven't been double-dealing now, hmm? XD

 

I've got the name of the show, the colorguard outfit design, and an idea of what it's going to be. As far as what music we'll have... I'd kind of like to know.

I LOVED Brazoswood's show last year. It was my favorite show at BOA San Antonio. I couldn't stop gushing about it to their parent section sitting right behind us. :]

Word. And, I still can't stop gushing about it.

I have heard an interesting bit regarding Churchill's show next year.

 

Let's just say I cannot wait until the season starts to hear it.

In other news, the status of Paschal's show is currently in a state of flux, due to the shift in band directors.

bloc party song!!!

That Super Regional at San Antonio in 2007 was probably the MOST competitive marching contest I had ever been a part of (very close with UIL 5A State Marching).

 

All the bands I saw were exceptionally well prepared and, in my opinion, totally blew any recent contest away.

 

We aren't competing in the Super Regional this year since we're going to be aiming mainly at UIL... is there a tentative listing of the bands participating in the SA Super Regional already?

 

This next marching season is guaranteed not to disappoint... can't wait! Personally, I'm looking forward to see what Bowie has in store. I've always thought their drill was really precise, accurate, and original; not to mention well charted.

 

I don't think Coppell is given enough credit, either. Really looking forward to seeing their performance.

[AzNtRoMbOnEcHiCk]

due to unseen circumstances,

we have a new show noww!

 

Our theme is "Music of Cirque du Soleil."

[MaverickBand15]

I just know Daniel Montoya Jr. did an amazing job writing McNeil's show this year. In my opinion its the best one we have ever had!

Better known as, "A Generic Ronald Reagan show, circa 2000-2002."

 

Just kidding...sorry, had to be mentioned.

Only Ronald Reagan 2001 & 2002 were Cirque du Soleil shows. Amazing ones too.

 

2000 was "Perpetual Motion" (their first competitive year) and it contained music from Karel Husa, Philip Sparke & Mark Higginbotham.

we aren't either due to financial issues.

 

Not that I'm complaining.

Wait, so that means no BOA's at all for Richland this year? Or, are you guys going to sign up for BOA Arlington instead? If not, that means that this will be the first year that Richland won't be at a BOA competition since the band started competing in the circuit in 1996.

[b_sax_agent]

yeah...no BOA this year.

 

HEB, UIL, and Duncanville contest I think.

 

oh well.

 

To be honest, I think it's easier if we don't go to a BOA contest becuase we won't have to work as hard to satisfy both a UIL judging panel and a BOA judging panel.

Music of Samuel Barber and Aaron Copland. Cool. What are the musical selections? And, who is your drill designer again this year?

[borchnork]

I heard a bunch of different bands marching shows after talking to a drum major coming back from her dm camp.

 

I'm jealous of Sachse's show, again, I must say. It's based on the TAKS test and is basically like a subject test in 4 parts.

 

Sure, not every kid wants to see the TAKS more than they have too, but god, that's such an interesting and unique show to do.

Pete Weber is currently Vanguard's drill designer.

 

Barber's "Medea" was performed by Star of Indiana in 1993.

 

In addition, Stephen F. Austin HS also performed Copland's "Grohg" as their opener, Barber's "Adagio for Strings" as their ballad and Barber's "Medea" as their closer back in 2005. Great show. They placed fourth at the Houston Regional and San Antonio Super Regional that year.

[Trumpet of Doom]

I'm jealous of all you guys that know so much about your shows all ready, I have no idea...

yeah that sounds right, i pretty pumped about it since he seems to know way more about marching than or last drill writer (he put us in a full-field block with trumpets on melody on back 20 and DL on other back 20 ugh it was death)

 

but that should be expected since he is a DCI drill writer

I'm not allowed to release our show information....

 

But it's pretty weird.

 

I don't know what to make of it yet.

 

 

Oh yeah, you guys are doing that Hannah Montana-themed show, right?

[titancoaster]

lol, I can picture it now, for the 2009 Marching Season

 

L.D. Bell presents: High School Musical: The Marching Band of East High School (Spoiler; the end of the show the band dances and sings We're all in this together)

 

and

 

Marcus High School Presents: Hannah Montana (Spoiler; yes there is a huge Miley Cyrus Prop of "sorts")

[Danpod]

In a desperate attempt to keep this derailed thread from killing innocent people standing by at the train station, here's a minor show announcement:

 

Winston Churchill HS - Music of Samuel Barber and Leonard Bernstein. Exact pieces not yet known.

 

I'm sure we'll get more updates about other programs once everyone returns from Summer vacation.

This should be pretty cool. '98 Churchill is still one of my favorite Barber shows.

[whitewing09]

What's Reagan playing? I was looking on youtube and someone was saying that they'll get beat easily

[treblemaker]

I guess you will have to wait until the first competition to find out..
