They pretty much haven't changed.

 

They have a 'W' instead of the diamond on the jacket.

Their plumes are a bit longer and they no longer have the chains on their hats.

Everything else pretty much didn't change.

 

I went and watched one of their practices.. if they can keep the contras at a good angle they'll do great with them.

 

 

ewww

those uniforms are quite unappealing to me.

no offense of course

[treblemaker]

Since when do band uniforms ever look good? Haha. You can never have one that fits just right. It is always too big or too small. In my opinion the uniforms will always look better on guys. And they aren't designed to look fashionable anyway. They are designed to get the job done. :]

Okay that is one of the most sexist thing I have ever seen in my life. I can't believe you linked those. Haha. Girls are more than sex objects you know.

The proverbial Sexist Title goes to Crockett 93. Ugh. So distasteful.

Does anyone have a video of that sucker I can see? Everybody and their mother keeps talking about it in passing, and I'm like, "What is it?"

[treblemaker]

I believe it's a joke.

[Montoya]

I believe it's a joke.

 

 

How dare you.

you can go to the game if you can figure out where it is

[b_sax_agent]

we got through our ballad yesterday...

 

3/4 done with our show.

 

That's unheard of in our school.

 

It remeinds me of our 2005 ballad.

 

Don't know about the closer yet though.

[AzNtRoMbOnEcHiCk]

yay for my 32th game tomorrow.

smith vs. keller central.

 

doing our whole minus the last 30

seconds

[Danpod]

Crockett 93 is all too real. You think you know, but you have no idea.

[JustAddWat3r]

[marcomac29]

[rpd]

seconds

 

Wow, that's a lot of show for the second game.

 

Were playing Churchill. And we will be doing a mass band with Churchill for the dance team piece. We did this last year with them, it was lots of fun.

[treyj]

yeah we just finished our ballad yesterday.

although it was we had to relearn it a 2nd time because of new drill.

 

We play timberview on sat!

 

i'm excited there marching is always so clean.

and they're doing the transformers soundtrack.

 

and it's gonna be a h3ll of a game.

 

yay :]

[ftwdrummer]

OK, I get that Crockett '93 was godly...but just how godly are we talking? Star '93 amazing? Spartacus 2008 amazing? Star '91 godly? Star '93 PLUS Phantom '08 PLUS Star '91 amazing? Is it even quantifiable? Details, people, details!

[treblemaker]

Hahahahahahahahahahaha. Okay sorry.

[AzNtRoMbOnEcHiCk]

yeah, its insane how fast we learned our show.

we still have alot of cleaning to go.

and still have visuals to add.

[titancoaster]

We had a really good run tonight of our show, it was probably the best first preformance that I have been apart of, I just wish we were staged differently while watching Stony Point's show, because from where we were we really couldnt hear them .

[takigan]

Ok.....let's not go there with Crockett. I've done a TON of research on this and it runs deeper than just a show that ran during the Fall of 1993.

 

It has nothing to do with Crockett's show and whether it was good or not or what it contained. For the record I believe it contained Samuel Barber's "Medea's Dance of Vengeance" and John Cage's 4'33" (do some of your own research to understand why THAT piece is so significant) and I think they played something else, but don't quote me on any of this, I haven't seen or heard the show and no record of it really exists on the internet outside of their track record on UIL's website. And the show may have been quite awesome and revolutionary, but since there are no recordings of it online you can't really find out for yourself.

 

See, it all has to do with some huge running subcultural urban legend on the Bands of America forums (and the original proprietor for it is someone who either knows Daniel Montoya or it IS him.....considering Mr. Montoya marched that show his freshman year of HS in the Fall of '93). I've encountered this man on like 5 different forums in my time. He's a man who's fame and success as a music educator/composer is partially to the credit of his great networking skills on the internet.

 

The people who push the show claim it was the greatest show ever, and UIL royally screwed them over for what was supposed to be a show that revolutionized marching shows....upon being asked what happened by other members of the community, they assure you that telling you would cause you to lose all respect for the activity (something to do with UIL's crappy judging system--which might explain the 4'33" reference)....this fuels the enigma of the legend.

 

It's pointless to push the matter further.....unless you're hand picked by the inner-circle of the ones who genuinely understand what this show was all about, you're destined to remain removed from the reality of it all forevermore....and by pushing the matter you're only encouraging the ones on the inside to toy with you further.

My first fall semester at Crockett was 1992. 1993 was my sophomore year.
