MartinHorn Posted December 7, 2005 Posted December 7, 2005 Quote But maybe we're just that hardcore. Maybe. I have to say when we saw Allen at NTBC they did have massive sound but their final chord dissapointed me. Is wasn't as massive as I expected but then again that was prelims. I'm sure it was better in finals. Also, while watching their show we saw them in prelims we saw one kid marching in a sling and no instrument. But I'm sure the judges saw that.

Can we please forgo some of this self-hype? Have you heard both your band and Allen from the top of the stands on the 50? Martin at fff isn't even as loud as Allen is at mf and with a slightly more harsh sound. Now, Allen starts to get a little harsh as well at fff, but all that we are really talking about is the fact that you can feel their volume rattling your bones.
Fortisimo Posted December 7, 2005 Posted December 7, 2005 Watching us talk or watching us march? There's a big difference. And Xenon, I have no choice but to assume that you were at North Texas, on the 50, at the top of the stands for both of our performances. Is this true?

No, I was at BOA SA, but I saw both your's and Allen's shows many times this year from exactly that position in a vast array of different types of stands.
Xenon Posted December 7, 2005 Posted December 7, 2005 Fortisimo said: I figured as much. Wow. Just Wow.... What an inane comment. Do you really believe that it is not possible to compare the objective qualities of two bands just because you didn't see them at the exact same time; and especially considering I saw both bands on at least 3 seperate occasions each??? (I saw Martin's show 6 times this year) And Lighten up! I am not dogging Martin, and I am not saying that Allen is better than Martin. All that anybody has been saying here is that Allen is loud. VERY loud. Period.
Fortisimo Posted December 7, 2005 Posted December 7, 2005 Lmao, I only said that that's the impression I got. I must say, though, 6 times? I'm impressed. WEre they spaced through the season or...? (Simply out of curiousity, of course) when did you see us?

Duncanville Prelims 6. Duncanville Finals So, yeah, pretty well spaced out through the season.
Fortisimo Posted December 7, 2005 Posted December 7, 2005 I see... yeah, we did pretty well at UIL... that was a nice performance. And our football team actually did well at Duncanville, lmao. Basically the only game they won that wasn't against another team who hadn't won a single game. You would think out of 4000 kids they would be able to draw up a decent football team.
ttu48 Posted December 7, 2005 Posted December 7, 2005 holy **** calm down its band nobody cares and if you **** at me then okay...i dont go around hypin my band so that kid needs to be punched in the face
Fortisimo Posted December 8, 2005 Posted December 8, 2005 Lmao, that's funny... it all seemed quite resolved to me. But hey, if you wanna come in here with your five posts and try and stir up trouble that's your business. I've had rather enough though.

Fortisimo Posted December 13, 2005 Posted December 13, 2005 Lol, yeah, I saw him from the stands. He marched pretty well for having a broken arm. We have like 10 altrenates from most of the sections.
escababe07 Posted December 13, 2005 Posted December 13, 2005 his sliding was probably some of the best from his section haha....that's kinda sad, actually. ... *sigh* our band doesn't understand the whole "sliding" concept very well. but, we're good at being in step, so i'm ok with that tradeoff.
Fortisimo Posted December 14, 2005 Posted December 14, 2005 Lol, I like all the antics ya'll pull off at NTBC in the stands.
Martinbandownsyou06 Posted December 14, 2005 Posted December 14, 2005 yeah yalls wave is pretty tight
Xukaniz Posted December 14, 2005 Author Posted December 14, 2005 White Uniforms are awesome. Coppell, Allen, Duncanville, and Bell are some of my faves.
escababe07 Posted December 15, 2005 Posted December 15, 2005 we actually have two sets of "bibbers" (pants), black and white. our school loves us. that's mucho bucks, cause these uniforms are only 3 years old, there's about 700 of them, and they cost about $5oo each. biiiiig bucks.
MartinHorn Posted December 15, 2005 Posted December 15, 2005 Quote White Uniforms are awesome.
