well, like i said before, move high school marching band to the summer so that high school students don't have t struggle after time is taken away from schoolwork. but what i failed to recognize was the conflict in schedule with all the high school dci participants( sorry guys). now, i still think its a good idea to move high school marching to the summer, because bands would have the ability to put way more time into their show. the more time you spend rehearsing your show, the more competitive you can be at competition. and drum corps. is the perfect example. forgive me if im wrong, i've never heard of an 8 hour rule in DCI. thats why high school marchng should be in the summer
as for UIL, i never want it to be phased out, however in the future it would be nice to see UIL give bands more than 8 hours a week to practice their show, and more than 8 minutes to perform their show. this would really give every band the freedom to be as competitive as they want
