ClaireAnnette07 Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 my band is working on christmas music.. and some pieces for contest music..but i miss the marching season...it was really a competitive year..well im looking forward to region band, and area-state tryouts though Heck yes..region '05-'06 here we come,lol. I'm personally glad concert season is here, just because I've never liked marching season, even though I guess I'm supposed to because I'm section leader. Of course, we're playing "Greensleeves" and "First Noel" like we do every year, but I don't think we know what else for sure. So far, we have "Holiday Sleigh Ride", "The Nutcracker", "Sleigh Ride" (which we've played every year but havent done this year), some Fidelis song I can't spell (I didn't bring my folder home) and our Sousa march for the year, "Free-Lance March".

get0verit Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 I LOVE concert season. You get to play real, technical, and challenging music with good players. Â I think we'll be ready for honor band this year, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xukaniz Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Rarr I cant wait for concert season. Â I think for contest we are playing Four Scottish Dances, Theme and Variations by Schoenberg, and something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonaNobisPacem Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 I prefer Concert Season to Marching Season. Don't get me wrong, I love Marching, but somehow I just like the...feel of concert season better. I'm not looking forward to All-State auditions, however. My music is extremely difficult on Bass Clarinet. I'm still trying to figure out why they gave us CLARINET MUSIC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nnelsonbsn Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 I can't wait. We're going to the BOA National Concert Band Festival, and it's gonna be a ton of fun. lol oh wow lol just ask anyone from cedar park about that wait im from cedar park lol alright this was our bands take on the NCBF Â **** Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â we got a total of like... 3 hours of sleep in the two nights we were there because they had us going to like every single band's concerts... and the best part was OUR BANDS WERE THE ONLY ONES WATCHING OUR CONCERTS! We payed money to watch ourselves perform. It was just poorly run and pissed every single kid off. Â Best part was when Drew, a frech horn from our school, got up at 5am with his horn, went to the halls and blasted Chlostrophobia (the bad show we had 2 years ago) Â Score: 3/100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone wants to see the national concert band/orchestra. And the gala award ceremony...ehem...not that great of a deal. But the dance in the Museum is fun!

TRtrumpet Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 I HATE Concert season. So far for Christmas we have: Â "The Polar Express" (Sax Solo, WOOt!) Â "Santa Visits The Caribean" Â "Winter Holidays" Â and two other ones i dont remember Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xMonicax Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 I like marching season a lot ore than concert season... I feel like were working towards something more during marching season. I'm quite sad its over. I came home today and it was like.... really early. Such a strange feeling to not be at practice, haha. As for a holiday concert, we may not have one (yay for not playing sleigh ride for the one millionth time!) because we may just be doing a tribute to our marching season as a concert instead. A little celebration of our marching show and all that. Cool stuff. I will be in two holiday concerts aside from that though, one for orchestra, and one for a combination of orchestra and choir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lustra.exe Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 concert season for purcussion is not exactly the most enjoyable time of year, but doing winter drumline makes-up for the lact of interest in concert band music. i love the songs we play, its just the elementary music parts that bother me. its getting better though. our directors work with us.
