sweetmac_05 Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 CBS 42 is hosting a percussion competition. 16 of Central Texas' bands (all of whom received 1s at Region last year) had their drum lines perform and be recorded for this event. For the past three weeks their performances have been aired during the halftimes of the Dallas pre-season games. The participants are: Week 1: Anderson Trojan Band LBJ Jaguar Band*** Reagan 'Soul Raider' Band McNeil Maverick Band McCallum Knight Band Week 2: Hays HS Band Aikens Eagle Band Bowie HS Band Connally HS Band*** Lehmen Lobo Band Week 3 (in session): Austin HS Band Cedar Park Timberwolf Band Hendrickson Hawk Band Pflugerville Pfightin' Panther Band Vista Ride Ranger Band Westwood Warrior Band Each week 5 band's performances are aired, and then voting is opened to the public. The band who earns the most votes per week moves on to the final round of voting, where viewers decide between the top three groups. LBJ and Connally have already won their respective weeks. The six bands from Week 3 had their performances aired on Thursday night, and voting (which ends Sunday at noon) is currently in session. It would be awesome if you guys from the site could put your hands into mix and vote for your favorite performances!

treblemaker Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 It still irritates me that they call it a marching band challenge but only the drum lines are featured... Why not just call it a drum line drum off or something. Haha. Because you know the movie Drumline was so realistic in how marching band really is. :] Anyhoo. Way to go to those who made finals. :] Quote

treblemaker Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 I was watching the video's when I saw this link and thought that it was truly amazing. Quote An Austin teen, diagnosed with cancer last year, always dreamed of going to state with his high school marching band. After the LBJ High School band barely missed making it to state competition two years in a row, Alec Gramann found a way to make his and his band mates wish come true. Gramann, 17, worked his way up to drum major for his senior year. He directs 160 LBJ high school students on the field and in the classroom. Gramann says he Quote

lhstrumpet Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 That is truly amazing and special. That will be something remembered by all at state that day and in his program. Quote
