josephbandfan Posted October 25, 2023 Posted October 25, 2023 When I originally heard about the event, Marcus and LD Bell were part of the potential performers. Probably didn’t work out with their schedule Quote

Playing a commercial in the middle of a performance is no big deal to them. These are sports people and all band stuff is just background noise. They almost make me appreciate Box5 and FloMarching. Almost. It's cheap, though. $12 a month. And it's cheap because it sucks. Expand They were so terrible at the football games this year that I canceled and they kept me by charging 99 cents for the next month. The camera work was awful and they tended to not play the halftime sound and randomly had commercials everywhere. Quote
tromboneDude123 Posted October 25, 2023 Posted October 25, 2023 I heard that Tompkins High School had gotten 2 previous Pearland directors. Is this true? Quote

I believe this will be one of the most competitive and entertaining seasons. As bands step it up and change things immediately to get a shot at state. What school did you attend? Any progression since? Expand aged like milk Quote
Olaf Posted October 25, 2023 Posted October 25, 2023 Does anybody have videos to the Area B 6A bands? I’ve heard they are very good! Quote
LostChoirGuy Posted October 26, 2023 Posted October 26, 2023 If videos are being sent around and anyone is willing, I would also love to see any of the area performances of area B and C groups. Quote

Westwood 16. Bridgeland OR Wax 17-20. Cy-Fair, Westlake, other bands up here. Expand oh how cool would that be. since twhs' administrators seem obsessed w/ crap like the Lone Star Cup, maybe the band could parlay their UIL success into getting their 4th band director position back LOL. kinda wonderin' what their woodwind content rank is gonna be like, not featured as much as Vandy's or Hebron's or many other bands', not full ensemble anyway. other rankings should be fine.

I think maybe there's a state law that says they have to accept the lowest offer by any vendor and NFHS just lowballed everyone else trying to bid for the contract? In any case I'm willing to give NFHS the benefit of the doubt and if people say that the prelims broadcast looks and sounds good, I'll pay for finals. Otherwise I'll just wait for Grand Nats to roll around... Expand I am willing to bet you'll be waiting until the GN's. NFHS is the absolute bottom and worst streaming service out there, but is the only way to watch remotely and literally better than nothing. Well, at least with nothing, you won't be wearing yourself out being angry and swearing all day. Parkwoodmom 1 Quote
crunchycookie3 Posted October 26, 2023 Posted October 26, 2023 To be entirely honest, I haven’t seen any contest streaming service NOT get hate. Flo gets dragged through the mud every DCI season, and Box5 has definitely dropped the ball this season. Quite frankly, I miss when Flo streamed BOA, it seemed to legitimize the sport aspect of the activity. As previously stated above, NFHS is definitely the worst, but I’m curious what people would say is the best alternative. Dallas Hobbs 1 Quote
