whitewing09 Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 this years seniors werent too bad, i couldnt stand some senior section leaders tho cuz their section could be really disruptive and wouldnt pay attention and they wouldnt do anything. the juniors were horrible they think theyre better then everyone but some couldnt even march backwards right or march in step and they caused most the drama, the sophmores were purdy bad but its cuz our class like doubles anyother classes so ya and the freshman ehh they were aight Quote
BassoonPadwan Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 Our band was super dedicated two years. I really can't think of a single person who was not supportive and dedicated. I was a freshman then. Then last year with those seniors it was the exact opposite; they were so negative and unsupportive. That really pissed me off big time. I couldn't wait till they graduated. It shows in the show too. This year is like a GOLD MINE of dedication, he he. The freshman are so awesome. I know a lot of bands hate their freshman, but this year, they kick arse. The seniors are great examples, their attitudes are great. Sophomores and my class are awesome too; I couldn't ask for a better year this year. Assssssss a matter of factttttttttt, I think even the guard was for the most part drama free this year Don't see that too much, haha Ahhhhh the positive energy. Quote
chickora Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 Dedication this year was so much better. Many people made Region band this year. And almost everyone is going to Solo and Ensemble. I can only imagine how next year's marching season is going to be my last. Ughhh, I do know it better be my best. =]] When I'm a Rank Leander an all.. Our worth ethic was soo good this year. It was impressive. Quote
MartinHorn Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 Actually after our show choice this year a lot of kids will drop band from what I hear. Left a bad taste in the mouth so to say. Quote
Nancy08 Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 That happened my freshman year with...SENSEMAYA...*shudder* We have a more positive outlook since our shows have been better, but dedication...I dunno. We definately have focus issues, but not so much dedication. We have alot of complainers, and if you walked in on a particularly taxing practice you would think our band was gonna fall apart, but almost all are just talk. Then when we have a good performance or win a competition, suddenly everyone loves band again. Then on Monday we have a great practice, but Tues we go back to normal. It's a never ending cycle, but it's slowly getting better. Hopefully next year will be AWESOME!!! Quote

I loved y'alls sound. I'm looking forward to this year's marching season. =]] But it will be my last... Quote
MartinHorn Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 The best thing I wish for yall is that you don't have a mediocre show concept your senior year. Quote

I felt sorry for the seniors Sensemaya year. That show sucked. I love the individual music (except for the fact that I went back and forth between two notes for 80 some-odd mesures in the first piece), but the show didn't flow. Last year was better, but our jazzy piece was ruined by how slow and uneventful the following piece was. This year was great in my opinion, we ended my last UIL year the best way possible (better than Sensemaya, which we got 2nd alternate with). Quote
Nancy08 Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 I don't know how we even did that well with Sensemaya. We need to stay with very traditional music. That's who Leander is. I loved RR show this year, btw. Definately in my top 5. There are rumors of what our show is next year but I wouldn't want to get ahead of myself there... Quote

Yours was the only show besides Reagan I saw at Finals on Area. You def. deserved the place y'all got. However, we were disappointed because we wanted that, but it was our best show none the less. I wish we had a dvd so I can see our show again. Uugh. Anyone care to give me a copy of the show if they have the UIL dvd? Quote
Nancy08 Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 What was yall's music called? I'd really like to find the concert version of RR and Bowie's. I wanted CP's too, but apparently I have excerpts from Symph 10 on my mp3 player and I didn't even know it. Quote
barisaxy08 Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 next year...our leadership will change for the better!!! i can't wait! Quote
Fata1 Posted April 7, 2007 Posted April 7, 2007 Our band (Southwest from Fort Worth) did and still does but it's getting a lot better. I think people are putting in more effort because we're tired of missing things by one. We missed going to State last year by one and we missed DMI Finals by one. It kind of gets annoying after a while. Quote
treblemaker Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 With Leander on the rise again and our shows getting better and better each year the moral of the band seems to get better. More people look forward to marching season and the successes that come with it. Not necessarily bringing home the trophies but milestones for our band program like our first BOA finals in 5 or so years. I'm really excited about this coming year. It looks like it is going to be a good one. :] Quote
Gracelyd33 Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 Every band has a little issue.. There always has to be that someone that doesn't want to work as hard as everyone else.. Quote
whitewing09 Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 We just lost a really bad class! thank gosh but i hope we can reverse the damage they've done Quote
