Found a video of leander from last night. Gotta say, if they keep up this level of week to week improvement the sky is the limit. I'm honestly blown away.

Agreed. The music and especially the flags were completely night and day from last week.

I'm always shocked how easy it is to find videos online of Leander early in the season and how difficult it is to find nearly anyone else!  We just happened to play Thursday night games last week and this week which were televised, and I know UIL does not allow Friday night games to be televised, so I guess that is part of it, but I'm always a bit shocked how Leander videos are so easy to come by.  

 

They added two movements to the field show last night at Pflugerville.  They added drill to the second movement (Toxic), and they added a section of the Ballad (Mass for Peace).  There is still much to be added I'm sure, but it is definitely looking good.  

 

Now if I could just get my hands on videos of FM, Hebron, Reagan, CTJ, Vandy...it just ain't fair!!!!!

They look fantastic but I can’t not think of the logistical issues with them

I hope they are attached somehow to the uniform so they don’t blow around in the wind but also I personally would hate having a giant plume touching my neck...imagine how sweaty they are going to get

 

oh don't you worry...they'll be fine.

I agree, I’m just nitpicking!

The video I watched was a recording from the stands. They look fantastic and I already got emotional from the ballad.

Was it online already or just shared with you from a parent?  I hate that all of these videos are getting put online when nobody else's is.  

 

The ballad made me emotional as well.  I'm excited about it and dreading it at the same time.  It's going to be killer in Lucas Oil.

Ok, first- Leander is killing it. Looks and sounds great.

 

Second- that video of leander had me rolling. That lady saying "very nice" just got me every time for some reason. It was so funny!

Glad I wasn't the only one  To be fair, she isn't wrong....

I'm glad the video is out. More should be. I don't understand the secrecy around posting videos or not allowing them to be posted. At least this time of year. Except for the show closer maybe. It's not like Leander will look at what CTJ is doing and make a bunch of changes. I understand that each band may want to control when and how pieces of information come out (show title, uniforms, etc). Some schools are far more protective than others. Just curious about the thought process.

 

I know that Leander would PREFER that these videos didn't get posted, but they aren't making a big deal about it like most other bands do.  The Leander directors DO ask that these not be posted, but they don't go all out to keep it from happening either.  

 

Edit:  That was redundant.

I’ll be honest....I don’t think I’ve ever loved a Leander ballad...but this year...wow...this show is special.

Can somebody please send me the link to this Leander video? I can't seem to find it on da tube.

I love it  I always subconsciously reply with "yes, that was very nice"

[josephbandfan]

So far this year, the same guy has posted the recording of Keller's parent preview and their first football game performance. They are both unlisted now but I'm waiting to see if he will post a recording from today's performance as well.

Oh sure. Share it for the whole world to see. But we can’t discuss CTJ’s plumes.

[daldhowe]

Completely agree! At this point of the season, all vids are fair game.

Competitions can't start soon enough!

[Samuel Culper]

I got to see Vista's ballad for the first time tonight.

It struck me as a Pflugerville parent video. Nice of her to give Leander so much love and to go to the trouble of uploading it to YouTube.

Did somebody say they wanted a leaked CTJ video?

Thank me later!

Stahpppp. My desperate self will never not fall for it

[LeanderMomma]

That ones getting old.

I personally like to familiarize myself with shows as best as I can before I watch a show live and so I can appreciate it more when I see the improvement they have made.

I actually agree with you. I appreciate a show far more when I have had the opportunity to see it a few times first. The first time I see it, I’m usually overwhelmed a bit because I don’t know what to expect, where to look, and what I might have missed. Once I’ve see a show a few times, I start to appreciate it a lot more. And get more excited about seeing it again.
