In general, I think this was the most competitive 4A year evar. Live, learn, breath, these moments of the 2011 season were so iconic. AKA the virgin sacrifice by Alice HS, a winning show sans props, the pressure to defend the title of a 4A champion etc, etc,

UTEP A pre show featuring the black eyed peas, perfect choreography, and crowd engagement, AND PROUD MARY?

actually, i was referring to both.

um centennial was like, recycled music from marcus, and lets not get started about the other big recycled music.

I cannot believe Alice was left UNRECOGNIZED for a an ICONIC performance. The virgin sacrifice was the pivotal crux and LEGENDARY moment in 4A band history. It was both revolutionary, bold, daring, etc.

Yep! Googled it, thanks! Hook 'Em

Ok I seriously need to know, after graduating HS 4 years ago, I still don't know the name of the chorale that nearly every marching band plays to warm out. Calallen just played it right now, Friendswood warmed-up with it awhile back, so i'm curious...what is it?? Does it have name? Is it a Bach?

Hey y'all Anyone happen to have an HQ file link to Maslanka Symphony no.4 from this years concert?

IMO this contest is done. On to the next one.

So, exuse the randomness of this post, but does anyone have the access to the Shosta 5 recording from last year?

Hey everybody, Just wanted to know if anyone had the recording of Out of the Blue, also what happened to the Bucband posting their game videos? Thanks

KINGFISHERS CATCH FIRE?!!?! if you play it, youre lucky, that piece is amazing, i heard it live at tmea with the 5a symphonic band and i was just amazed. It made me really want to be part of the 5a symphonic band again...but then college happened...LOL

yes sarah, his office is on the 5th floor

so i just came back from the convention tonight...amazing jobs by call the state bands! The 5A symphonic band had one of THE MOST strongest performances yet...it was really SOLID, the 5a concert band had me at Give Us This Day...(Andy...you gotta get me a recording!) 4a band did very well, especially with their Mackey piece, their program was one of their strongest since 2006...and of course...symphony orchestra was AMAZING with their rendition of Mahler 1, the F Horns were one of the highlights of the evening, very strong and solid group this year.

ahh! congratulations andy, and thanks for the information on the concert...I'm hoping they give you guys a good program

hey andy, could you give me the locations for the region band rehersal/concert? id like to watch

so many kingwood...makes me want the clear schools back...i mean honestly...our region band was really good when they were in it...lol last year was kind of...uhhh lol

I definitely miss the obsessive practicing and audition for the fall....i mean...it was an adrenaline rush...but yea...im sure you will advance to area andy. just be chill in the room...as for the others who are nervous....the banana thing...i dont know..lol...but i would just take deep breaths and play the first note for like 10 seconds....it also helps if you get to scope out the room to find the right reed to balance it.

andy, who placed first for clarinet?

maybe he wants to start his "own" traditions and erase what was left of the past...you know..some new BD's are just weird like that...

okay so you guys were warned...but Im going to have to go along and say that the punishment was too extreme. Is your BD a newbie?

ah..i miss region...lol

my former band did prayers and speeches, now, my band just plays texas fight and gets motivational speech from the band president. EVERYONE WATCH THE TEXAS VS. A&M GAME ON FRIDAY, YEA!
