Birdville Marching Festival

[JustAddWat3r]

Schedule is up. Looks like a much tougher lineup than last year.

[Adelaide]

I'll be there, and that's definitely some tougher competition than we see at the usual competitions we go to.

Haha, yeah. I agree, it's going to be difficult to get into the finals at this competition, and that's exactly what I'm hoping our band can do. Hope you guys make finals too!

 

 

I hope so too! I have a good friend at Fossil Ridge who plays horn and I haven't seen her in a while. It'd be great to get to finals to see these bands perform in the first place, it's nice to go to a competition with bands who are known to be good.

Im looking forward to Hebron High School's program, as we all know they did win the contest last year, so I'm wondering if they can muster up enough to do it again............

[Madisonftw]

Euge!(Hurray!) Less then a week away! The competition is going to be so intense. Can't wait.....

Inner Dialogue- Music from Bernstein, Copeland and Dupere- Awakening, Mind of the Beheld, Abstract Enlightenment.

They won TOC by a whopping 7 points over a very talented Mansfield. I still highly doubt they'll beat Marcus, I do think it'll be closer than the last time these two bands met up at Birdville (MUCH)

Their marching was ridiculously clean for this early in the season. However I don't think they had their entire show on the field at ToC

[itsstephenyo]

I really think allstater09 goes to Hebron. Every post he/she puts just praises Hebron to no end.

 

And yea, Hebron's show wasn't complete at ToC. They've still got a ways to go with the drill they need to put out. One thing that stood out to me is that their use of props has gone wayyyyy down.

 

Apparently, they're focusing more on marching/playing this year. I see their show this year as a platform to build on for State next year.

[Coopercoogs_statebound_09]

I'm going to take Cooper to win 4a. Not to be biased to mine own school though.

really? i'm pretty sure he's just a fan of an awesome program, who in my opinion deserves to be praised.. there's nothing wrong with appreciating the quality of a great band. also allstater09 wasn't technically praising them he was just curious as to what their show was like this year.

 

EDIT: except, i may be wrong because i just looked at his profile and it said the school he was representing was hebron. lol

To all of you who care so much about what i post, yes i go to hebron high school, and i love my program, i really dont think its that big of deal about me wanting to hear the talk about this years program, im just curious to know what everyone thinks, i know that we have the potential to be great, just wondering if everyone thinks that, and i am praising my program, we you see it start in 2006-2007 to where it is now you would too..... so what the problem??

I just found it funny how you always said it as if you weren't in the band. "I didn't get a chance to see them." Hahaha that's cuz you were performing =P

 

Btw, I am a Hebron alum. In fact, I talked to y'alls band before the ToC competition. Yes, that was me.

What music is Marcus using in this years show?

For once, they really did tell us their music when they announced the show name. It seems to be from Mendelssohn's A Midsummer Night's Dream. Including the famous Wedding March.

 

Parents said that a returning veteran proposed during one of the football games knowing that the band knew the wedding march. They said there wasn't a dry eye in the whole stadium after the band played it for them after she said yes.
