Danpod Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 You can hear the catching of the rifles....Duh! Seriously, I've seen the show many times. Quote
euro_euph06 Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 Or you went to watch State that dreadful year in the mud bowl. Quote
smusic Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 I remember Duncanville and Bell marching and playing pretty well even though it was a mud bowl. They were awesome and had like 1 person fall. And they both had pretty hard shows. Quote
mbui Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 Brass: 6 Woodwinds: 7 Percussion: 8 Colorguard: 8 Overall: 7 The 2002 show was great. But personally, I'm a huge fan of their 2004, 'Numbers', show. Great, great source of music. Regardless, '02 was a fantastic year for The Woodlands and should be cherished by all of those involved with the band program. It marked their first year of making State & BOA Grand National Finals after numerous attempts. Quote

Exgerm Posted January 14, 2006 Author Posted January 14, 2006 Thanks for the contributions... If you want, could you do like an overall GE score too? Alright, next band to listen too... Marcus 2005 Fowl Play: Music for the Birds Quote
euro_euph06 Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 Quote Marcus 2005 Fowl Play: Music for the Birds I saw it at BOA SA. I honestly disliked their show for the reason that it was a show about birds. I couldn't take them seriously, therefore I will not judge them. Quote

Period. There is no doubt about it. Very well designed, amazing attention to detail, and some of the hardest music played the extremely well. I could not believe how amazingly well done the closer (Pines of Rome) was done After what was already a show full of awesome music. The colorguard was really got into their role and never left it for one second. You really have to admire that. Quote
coolest_kid_ever Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 i remember seeing that show at BOA San Antonio and i was so distracted by the birds that i couldnt focus on the music at all. ive heard it was a great show though, the bits and pieces i remember were amazing Quote
G'townPIT Posted January 15, 2006 Posted January 15, 2006 Quote Brass: 9Woodwinds: 8 Percussion: 8 Colorguard: 9 Overall: 9 your entitled to your opinion xenon, but how can you give the marcus drumline an 8? they're like a 10 every time. it's just the music. their shows are definitley not full of percussion features, and i don't know why. maybe it's a boa thing. none of the top boa bands seem to really have any sweet drumline anything in their shows. i think it's just a style thing, to not have a heavy percussion featured show. but yeah, marcus drumline kicks A, definitley giving them a 10.

I respect the Marcus band very much. They were fantastic in San Antonio. However, the drumline didn't really stand out for me. Not because there wasn't a huge drumline feature in the show .But, the book did not interest me as much when compared to the other top bands....Ronald Reagan, Winston Churchill, Richland, Stephen F. Austin. Execution wise, it was just about as good as everyone else. The front ensemble was fantastic though. Marcus Indoor Drumline is where it's at. Quote

The reason that I gave them an 8 was not because they weren't or aren't awesome, it was that (as you and Mike have said) their music in this show was not complex enough to score it any higher. For example, if the percussion book was anything like Haltom 2004 and they played it as well as the do at PASIC, then I would have probably given them a 10. Quote

Yeah the music just isn't written for them to stand out or anything. what i meant was that they deserved a 10 execution wise. but since we're talking about the best shows of recent history, then i guess you can't just base it on execution.

gavinrh Posted December 12, 2006 Posted December 12, 2006 yeah i didnt really like fowl play either... haha this is a really cool thread and i thought i'd revive it how bout richland 05? Quote

bossman Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 i thought we were rating shows, not remembering them Quote
Skippy Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 Well, seeing how this thread was revived after 11 months of silence, I'll do whatever I want, mmmk? Quote

I've been trying to find a video of that thing ever since I saw it at Super Regionals that year. Do you have a vid of it that you can send me, Skippy? Quote
