I play the clarinet and I'm a junior, so i marched state back in 2012 (greatest high school experience so far) . langham has such a really rich and successful history and i think we can really make an impact this year.

Our show is specially arranged so most of the music is just lots of different cuts from various classical arrangements, but as soon as i find a video i will put it right here. yeah it seems that either the bands are posting every week's video or none at all... What's the show name/theme at least? Quote

Baredex Posted October 13, 2014 Author Posted October 13, 2014 all i know is that anything could happen. i mean look at cy falls, they were top four in prelims last year then dropped to 5th and they didnt make state. its all about your performances at area. Quote

Baredex Posted October 13, 2014 Author Posted October 13, 2014 I'm kind of curious about Cy woods. they make state in 2010 then slowly decline over the years. what happened? Quote

principalagent Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 For some context: SFA has been in Area E at least since the last alignment in 2004, but opted out of going to Area from 2006-2010 because they wanted to focus on BOA as a program rather than UIL. trombone18 1 Quote
Astros Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 There is no rhythm or reason to judging marching shows. It not like determining who won a 100 yard dash. Sometimes this subjective helps your school sometimes it doesn't. It is sort of like judging best movie of the year. Different strokes for different folks Quote
Baredex Posted October 13, 2014 Author Posted October 13, 2014 i really hate how UIL is more of a BOA type judging system now. honestly BOA judging is more about the concept then the actual skill, more about the acting in the show rather than the music and marching. Basically if you have giant glowing props and lots of brass hits you will do good in BOA. Quote
Astros Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 I guess I'm too late to the marching scene to have a perspective because I really like the entertainment aspect of the BOA shows. Quote

BlackJesus Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 Agree with Baredex, of course these bands are still very good, but it's pretty much a fact now that having props will bump you up a bit in contests. What really grinds my gears though is bands who only have their winds play about half of the show and the other half doing visuals or moving with the props. Like I get that marching band is changing but when you have that much time to catch your breath the band is obviously gonna be a lot more energized to play when they start again compared to other bands. Really unfair. *Not trying to start an argument and I won't b/c I know it'll probably lead to this forum getting locked too. Message me if you have something to say about my post instead of us starting a full out argument* Baredex and trombone18 2 Quote
