hadesgod9 Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Yesterday was a long and sad day for the Weslaco Panther Corps...I think our Freshmen and Sophmores we pull through in two years... Quote
whitewing09 Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 I'm pretty surprised with Taft not making finals, did they not have a good run? Quote

You all have nothing to be ashamed of. You had a great season and the crowd loved you all. Not a bad way to begin your new era of greatness. I look forward to hearing great things about the WPC.

rpd Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 ^I agree with Trumpet Master. I was in the tunnels when you guys were on, so I didn't see you, but your sound was fantastic. Believe me, many bands went home upset on Saturday, but you just have to use it as motivation for the years to come. Quote

Miculka scares me, but he did help us alot when he came to clinic us. Quote

Just because a contest doesn't go the way you want it to doesn't mean it was "a load of bull" The groups that made it all did really well and played their hearts out, don't drag down their accomplishment by saying something like that.

Of course, I am not authorized to make statements for the band, but I noticed there were things that were not problems before. Quote

I'm sorry to have offended you, I have a bit quick to defend bands lately after a little incident on YouTube. If you want to know what I mean PM me and I can tell you. I noticed alot of judging inconsistencies as well, but UIL has been known to do that. I'm sure you remember the Brownsville Lopez-Hanna situation at the last area contest. Quote

This time of the year there's always a lot of trash talking going around once certain people advance and others don't. What happened in '06? I didn't really keep up with that contest as much as this year. I just remember Lopez didn't advance... Quote
MGarza145 Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 Yeah, I really appreciated all the hard work the bands put on the field. It was really a treat watching Area G. Judging has always been a problem in UIL, but hey: all you can do is pop a show and hope for the best. It's their game, not ours. So good work everybody! Congratulations to all the advancing bands and I hope them the best. Although I must say, it's comments like these that really offend me. Especially since I am a member of the band being commented on: It's the comment by jevil91 It's always great to take pride in your accomplishments, but never to the point where you are putting down others. Once again, congratulations to the advancing bands. Quote

I think Hanna was 9th in prelims, it just shows how inconsistent the judging is. They both had good shows, but UIL is weird sometimes. Quote

Finding out we made finals will probably go down as the best memory in my marching life because we weren't expecting that to happen at all. Funny how 2008 will go down as my most dreaded memory.

Yes, we did. I have to say that is probably my favorite memory EVER:) This contest was so different, though. I mean, usually Taft and Marshall go to finals together. we're like buddies;) Heh. Northside is so huge, it's a surprise we don't just have our own Area already! Just kidding, of course Quote
