At least there were hashes at the Alamodome... last year they weren't even there. Not faded, just not there! Thank goodness for creative duct taping!

And JJJMGE, Grand Nats will ALWAYS be in Indianapolis because that is BOA's headquarters. Always. I promise. The slightest chance of it getting moved to another stadium (not a different city) is when the RCA Dome is torn down and the new Colts field is built in a couple of years.

No, he is not. He is saying that the cocky attitudes of individuals reflects on the quality of their band program. (and well duh, thats true) No one is talking about the BOA or UIL organizations. Anyways, I don't see any differences in UIL and BOA and who enters... A ton of bands compete at the lower levels, and are gradually whittled down to the top 10 or 12 as the case may be.

Now all we need it Tom Blair for SA.

I like it... It'd be cool if you could make each of them longer, then put them in seperate tracks.

Just a note to everyone, I'm writing this in English class so please feel free to correct me or add-on.

Wow... there is so much! In general, All music is memorized All sets (read below) are memorized Here are some generalities about marching: The field is arranged by some variation with a 4-Step Grid. The field I march on has dots on the yard lines for every 4 steps, but nothing in between the lines. 5 Yards = 8 Steps Marchers are given books with coordinates for each Set. Example: These spots can be marked with chalk, spray paint, poker chips, or just be remembered -- Whatever works for the kids and helps them learn. Each of these sets have a certain number of counts. This means that you march this many counts to travel from the previous set to the current set. The step sizes are rarely regular (like 8 to 5) because you move up and down field. After combining sometimes over 100 sets, holds, visuals, etc, you have your marching show! Most sets have curves in them (versus the strict lines of military marching) Although they are harder to clean, the 'morphing' of one set to another provides cool visual effects. Marching software is abundant. Though I have hardly any experience with drill software, Pyware is probably the preferred software. Using this software, one can write drill for all the students, animate it to see it in action, and then print individual "dot books" for students to get coordinates out of on the field. As for marching technique, it TOTALLY depends on the school and director. A while ago I saw this marching technique guide on the BOA forums. It was published on the Cedar Park HS Band a few years ago. Though probably not up to par with more recent techniques, which change every year, it still has a lot of relevant information.

No Drama

For anyone else watching, its 8 Minutes into the video. Very nice lines... very very nice. I have to admit the "commentary" on the video is a little funny "There going this way, now they're going this way."

Fixed.

Vanguard has cymbals.

I get an error when I save As or open.

Yeah, I got the same feeling too... I would take it as a compliment!

Band... duh.

Please tell me you are kidding... the pieces are almost polar opposites of each other!

I think he's saying Round Rock had a BOA show two years ago, but they didn't like it because it was too hard to clean.

dynasty2@gmail.com But if you guys go to BOA SA then I'll just pick it up from there!
