End of Season Near or Here

[Drummantx]

With BOA nationals in about 2 weeks and state in less than 1, I thought it would be fun to share how you or your whole program did over the season.

 

WTAC:

 

Guard:

1^st in Class 4A, and First Place Overall

Drum Line:

2^nd in class 4A, and around 5^th or 6^th Overall

 

High Plains:

5^th Overall In prelims, 3^rd in Guard, 5^th in percussion

4^th Overall in Finals

(Placed 7th Last Year)

 

UIL:

 

10^th consecutive 1 (Class 4A, Region 1)

 

ZIA: (This Saturday)

 

For the 2008 season, we got 2 new directors and barley missed a 2. Last year at area, we missed finals by 1 point . This year we made finals at a competition for the first time since 2006 3A State Finals in which we placed 6th. More importantly, I'm actually proud to be part of this show. I feel like we can be successful and do well, instead of expecting the worst. I get the feeling of WOAH, that was awesome after each performance. Tell me if you don't see improvement in these videos.

 

Then:

 

Now:

Area A 4A, watch out next year. Canyon's coming to play.

Performed at:

 

Arlington Eco-Fest

Arlington Martin vs. Arlington Bowie Post Game

BOA Arlington

Dean Corey marching competition

UIL Region 5

 

Future Performances:

BOA San Antonio (Oct. 30)

UIL 3A State (Nov. 1)

 

 

Results were multiple standing O's during each performance. Overall a really fun season. I recommend every one do marching band in college whether its corps style (like UT Arlington) or show band (like UT Austin).

Round Rock High School Dragon Band:

 

Dripping Springs Drumline Competition: Outstanding front ensemble, outstanding bass line, 5A winners with the highest score at the contest.

Capital City Marching Festival: 1st in drumline, 1st in auxiliary, 1st place overall.

Westlake Marching Festival: 1st in drumline, 2nd in preliminaries (only 5A), 1st in finals.

UIL: Straight 1s (well, duh)

Area D Marching competition: 3rd in prelims, 6th in finals, state qualified. (for the first time in 15 years!)

 

State is this coming tuesday, and Lonestar is 4 days after that. I really hope we make finals at state, but I mean hey, you get what you get and you don't throw a fit. Wish us luck! (Ha, like any band would wish a competing band luck )
