Newman Smith was not at the contest because they were 5A that year. They made AREA B Finals in 2007 but fell short and got alternate. But Smith did host the contest for AREA B 4A contest two years ago.

"This year the Trojan Band will present H. Owen Reed's 'La Fiesta Mexicana'. The arrangement is done by Steve Vento and promises to be challenging for the performers and exciting for the audience. The music depicts life in old Mexico from the revelery of the carnival in the town square to reverence of the Mass with the tolling bells of the catherdral and the joy of the fiesta! There promises to be something for everyone both musically and visually in this year's production." i'm jealous.

Texas Tech. Pre-Med. But I'll be in the Goin' Band

Our jazz concert is tomorrow. Varsity Jazz Band: America the Beautiful I'm Getting Cement All Over You Attack of the Killer Tomatoes Bopularity First Child Malaga Then our regular concert is this saturday. Varsity Concert Band: Ride Pas Redouble Colonial Song Rocky Point Holiday

we played rolling thunder last year. good workout for the trombones. lol. and we were going to play dance movements this year. but decided not too. good luck this season.

Newman Smith is playing: Pas Redouble by Camille Saint Saens Colonial Song by Percy Grainger Rocky Point Holiday by Ronald Nelson

we usually play games like one word sentence or the rhyming game where we all clap and the first person says a word and you get three claps until you have to rhyme with that word. it gets pretty ridiculous when the tempo speeds up. like treblemaker, we also sing our past shows. and when we make the last turn into our school, we sing our alma mater. its tradition

Oh that's cool. We're playing Bopularity, First Child and Malaga. Lol. Pretty pumped.

yeah. we usually go this contest but last year we didn't. we went to cccc instead. so what charts are you guys playing?

Newman Smith is going this year

I wish all the luck to all the bands that will be here today. I will be working in the press box during the 5A bands. Come and say hi to me. I will be wearing my school's shirt and my spirit shoes which are gold and green. Once again, GOOD LUCK!
