[b_sax_agent]

the second time I aprticipated at GN wasn't as fun as the first time.

 

Probably cause it wasn't as special.

Dude I know exactly what you mean!

 

When I was there for Hide and Seek in 2006, I was so excited. But 2007 with Sequenza was sort of duller since I allready knew the place, but it's still an amazing city.

Sorry, didn't mean for it to come out so harsh; I was just referencing you and Valdez bailing on us last year.

I know.

 

Quillen's still a bit p.o'ed at me for that one.

 

I don't blame him either.

Ha, you make a very good point. Its okay, I'll just sleep out on the streets with a hobo and a newspaper covering me for warmth

I won't be there this year because my band directors ****ed over my entire graduating class.

You were there twice with two amazing shows, one of which won a Class AAA Championship. There are band students across the entire United States who dream about participating in your organization. Stop me when I get to the "****ed over" part. Unbelievable.

[treblemaker]

Ditto. I would give anything to go to GN ONCE and perform. What an amazing experience that would be... *sigh*

I can only dream...

[radchad]

Be lucky!

I never had the opportunity to perform at Grand Nationals.

 

Do you know how much i would give to perform in GN Finals?

 

Gah.

 

And to think. You were able to go TWICE IN A ROW.

Mhm.

Hidalgo's currently signed up (at last check). Other than those three, no one from Texas.

I can sense your disappointment. Here's some breakfast for thought. Texas representation at Grand Nationals on even years, starting from 2000:

 

2000 - No bands from Texas.

2002 - Six bands from Texas. Four made Finals.

2004 - Two bands from Texas. Two made Finals.

2006 - Six bands from Texas. Four made Finals.

2008 - Three bands from Texas. Finals representation to be determined.

 

In the one year that Texas representation was minimal, aside from zero representation, the programs that went were very successful. The Woodlands took 7th in 2004. Stephen F. Austin took 4th, with the Outstanding Music award. Although the State isn't sending an armada of potential Finalists this year, Texas is sending the defending National Champion, a program that had a breakout season last year, and the State's first Class A program to Grand Nationals. Those story lines should be enough to keep us all fat and giggly.
