Bell has made top 2 for 10 years (6 times) not 12. 2002 was an all DFW too, and 2000 and 2004 were off by 1 each.

 

Also this year DFW bands had 1,2,3,5,6,8 60%

They will be 1st or 2nd through 2012.

 

2000 through 2012 = 12 years.

Last I checked, the year was 2010.

If im not mistaken Marcus and only one other band have won the state marching contest three times consecutivly, this may be posted, but if some one could clairify, and provide years of the other band and it's name?

Westfield is in Houston city limits but is in the Spring ISD. UIL keeps going back and forth as to whether they call the school by the city it is in, or the ISD it is in.

 

Personally, I like using the ISD much better. If you used the city, you would get Arlington Summit from Mansfield ISD and Mansfield Seguin from Arlington ISD.....

Any one remember what the sweepstakes award was? I just found out my alma mater won it back in 79-80 and 80-81.

Could someone please give me L.D. Bell's full rep ertoire from 2010?

America the Beautiful

Salvation is Created (Tschesnokoff)

Music from The Pacifi by Hans Zimmer

Canton can't have won 4A SMBC in those years because 4A is only in odd numbered years.

[Drummantx]

Well Canton is 3A.

Oops..... I was thinking Poteet for some reason... Probably the green uniforms, constant winning of State Championships, and both did Vesuvius around the same time period.

I believe that the section between America the Beautiful and Salvation is an original composition by Don Hill.

 

Then there are obviously the Simple Gifts and TAPS solos.

I thought I read somewhere that the music they performed right after America the Beautiful was an excerpt from Black Hawk Down, which would support the whole helicopter theme in that section. I'm not certain, though.

doesn't hurt that the PHS director wrote the drill book until 2010, so marching was similar
