Popular Post 1998-2018 Posted November 2, 2019 Popular Post Posted November 2, 2019 Part of Marcus and Flower Mound success is rich folks spending lots of money. Not only is that wrong, it's extremely disrespectful to Marcus and Flower Mound. Last year one of our Keller parents heard someone, from another program, say virtually the same thing about Flower Mound and immediately asked, "I don't think that's how it works, but if you know something I don't, can you tell me how much a string of State Marching Band Championships cost? Because I'm pretty sure we can get that funded." The same goes for a string of BOA San Antonio Super Regional wins. Trips to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade or the Tournament of Roses Parade are a different situation, but competition wins are not for sale. Do you think Vista Ridge spent significantly more to win the 6A Texas SMBC last year compared to the budget two years ago when they were the first band out of San Antonio Super Regional Finals? I don't. BlueCircle, FloMoParent and Hard Core Band Fan 3 Quote
lost Posted November 2, 2019 Posted November 2, 2019 If I’m honest we’ve seen Tarpon Springs shell out what I can only imagine is a lot on those extreme props last year and they placed fifth. We’ve seen Reagan twice now succeed propless Money spent </ placement fjmmd65 1 Quote
FaultLineBlues Posted November 2, 2019 Posted November 2, 2019 Lots of bands are gonna have their hearts broken today. I wish every band the best, everyone truly brought their a-game at this contest. (if only there was some kind of semi-finals process *wink wink*) BandDad4 1 Quote

BenedictCucumberpatch Posted November 2, 2019 Posted November 2, 2019 I was worried about Reagan for a second. Quote
lost Posted November 2, 2019 Posted November 2, 2019 Everyone said “Don’t listen to Duncanville scores.” But Marcus didn’t care! They proved themselves in both circuits! I am so so so elated for them! Avisshadow and KinDallas 2 Quote

paulhhs Posted November 2, 2019 Posted November 2, 2019 Don't sleep on Marcus. They are running the Cleanest show hands down right now. KinDallas and Nny14 2 Quote
meursault Posted November 2, 2019 Posted November 2, 2019 It's only prelims haha youre right, they ONLY managed to be the best playing group out of what? 85 other bands? what a strange qualification to make Quote
DeepEllum Posted November 2, 2019 Posted November 2, 2019 Yeah, the whole premise of the original comment was that everyone has been doubting them, so i’m sure doubting them definitely proved them wrong. Quote
zoomer Posted November 2, 2019 Posted November 2, 2019 youre right, they ONLY managed to be the best playing group out of what? 85 other bands? what a strange qualification to make Welllll, its only in 4A but i didn't see it coming Quote
BandFan59 Posted November 2, 2019 Posted November 2, 2019 Rewatching their prelims performance, I can see why Marcus won the music caption. They are incredibly clean music-wise and don't rely on overpowering with sound, but rather creating a beautiful blend of sound from all the instruments. Their woodwinds are articulate and smooth with their runs. Will be interesting to see their placement overall. Nny14 and KinDallas 2 Quote
meursault Posted November 2, 2019 Posted November 2, 2019 Welllll, its only in 4A but i didn't see it coming ah. true. we’ll see how they lined up with Leander when full spreads are out Quote
Nny14 Posted November 2, 2019 Posted November 2, 2019 Yeah, I mean it IS "only" prelims... but what do you say if they win in finals? "it's only finals.... haha?" lol I was just amused he was saying they proved everyone wrong with just a preliminary result. I wasn't trying to diminish Marcus. I woke up early and recorded their performance because I love listening to their sound so much. Quote

BlueCircle Posted November 2, 2019 Posted November 2, 2019 Panel 2 inflated? Don’t come for me y’all...just an observation Quote
jmartin1056 Posted November 2, 2019 Posted November 2, 2019 Panel 2 inflated? Don’t come for me y’all...just an observation Seemed that way with Panel 1 last year I believe. Especially with Hebron winning visual. Nny14 1 Quote
