longhorn2190 Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 Ok we all know Gustav Holst's The Planets is some of the most used material in marching shows. Which shows featuring the planets do you think were especially good? It doesn't have to be a Planets-exclusive show either; it can just have snippets of it too. Quote
TxRaider13 Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 Cavaliers 95 FTW, fine Cedar Park and one of the tyler schools did it way back and it was nice Quote

takigan Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 Georgetown used a Planets show to win the 4A State championship multiple times in the early 80s. This was back when repeating shows in subsequent years wasn't uncommon. I've never seen a video of it, though I have always wanted to. Quote
jmj Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 Cedar Park 2004: Universal Expressions Included Mars, Mercury, and Jupiter. Absolutely stunning show. The woodwind run at the end of Mars is superb. Quote

mellopwn1 Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 They can think what they want and everyone else can agree, but it still doesn't mean I have to like it longhorn2190 said: well obviously the judges thought otherwise... Quote
whitewing09 Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 Cedar park 04!!! I loved the impact in the intro and then the epic ending with a mix of Jupiter and Mars. Coppell 08!! I loved their version of the upbeat part of Jupiter, the flute thing. Bowie 09!! I believe their intro was Neptune and it really added to the mystique of their show! I'll even throw one out that no one probably ever saw. Port Isabel 06 They made 3A state. Their ballad was Jupiter and I loved how the pit lead to the impact with rolls (I have no clue what you actually call them) then you can hear the upper Clarinet voice very well (which is defeated by the brass a lot of times in the smaller bands) Quote

TxRaider13 Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 (edited) That version Coppell did in 08 did nothing for me but make me wish I had 8min of my life back Edited October 22, 2010 by TxRaider13 Quote

You didn't like this show. Get over it. You don't have to belittle their show just because your a little moody. Quote
Rocktapus512 Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Back on track. Didn't Vista Ridge do a Planets show in 2008? Quote

I got the Ranger game coming on, and steaks grilling with beer ready! ..But this is just for you....Coppell 08 was so zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. But yet last year and this year the band is freaking amazing...I smell a top 3 at state Edited October 22, 2010 by TxRaider13 Quote
whitewing09 Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 I actually liked Coppell 2008 a lot more than Coppell 2009. It was so different from most of the Planets shows I've seen. I really liked Cedar Park's 2005 Respighi show, so when Coppell's show was very similar, but more boring... yeah didn't really enjoy it. Quote
dk993352 Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 Cinco Ranch in 2004 was good version of it they went to state with it, but this year Cinco is doing " the oddessy" based off of the planets Quote
