LeanderMomma

Today I saw where two different Leander shows were performed by California bands last year. Rancho Bandero did our 2016 show. Ours was called The 4th Dimension and they called theirs The Grid. Then, as I was looking at one of the contests Rancho Bandero was in, I happened upon our 2015 Color Study show being performed by Poway High School. Obviously our drill was different from the CA schools, but there were also plenty of similarities. I knew that designers would sell their shows to more than one school, but it felt so weird to see and hear two of our shows being performed by other schools. Almost wrong, somehow.

Whoa....what a gorgeous arrangement of The Impossible Dream!

I’m so excited to see the Madison Scouts production this summer. They’ll be featuring a lovely female brass soloist! Is it summer yet?? https://www.flomarching.com/articles/6118922-megan-hutera-makes-history-as-madison-scouts-1st-female-brass-player

Heh, y'all totally beat that 88 score! And maybe not CP, but you very effectively beat Round Rock.

I’m still waiting to see Leander’s calendar for the fall.

I agree!

Hahahaha, of course!

And Dr. Pepper.

They know how to entertain, that's for sure!

Landry, they were just GORGEOUS!!

I agree wholeheartedly with both assessments!

And we drove all of it! Austin to SA for both BOA SA and 6A state, then to Indy directly from state. Then back to Austin that Sunday. Crazy! The band flew, tho, so that helped a little.

Cedar Park is still 5A. Only Leander, Vandy and Vista Ridge moved up to 6A in the fall of 2016. It was exciting for sure!

Actually we were 6A, believe me I remember that crazy 9 days WELL!!!!

Ugh. I couldn't stand it!!

Carmel's skill level is out of this world but oh my goodness I HATED the music! Just my opinion of course, but it weirded me out big time. I'm sure they'll win.

It is quite remarkable what these high school kids can do. And I'm curious how they made that platform spin! Is your feed constantly glitching and going back and forward in time? Very annoying! Looking forward to seeing Carmel and the Bluecoats guard!!

Yes that was what I thought. I loved that show! Man.....Avon color guard just put on a masterful production!!! Best I've seen all day. Just wow.

No, but I'll be in San Marcos Monday night watching Leander take on your high school in basketball. Enjoy the concert!

Come on FloMarching, fix the glitching! On another note, Centerville HS color guard seems to have been inspired in their theme choice by a north Texas band. It was a fashion show theme. Feels very familiar. Coppell? Keller? One of those I believe!

Excellent point about Vandy. That show last year was most definitely a concert hall performance! Maybe some would say it doesn't belong on a football field, but it was brilliantly played, completely mesmerizing and a wonderful change of pace from what we usually hear performed in a football stadium. Kudos to Haltom if they can bring it like Vandy did. I'll be looking forward to it!

Time for an awesome weekend of winter guard in Indianapolis! Castle, Marion Catholic, Avon, Carmel, the new Bluecoats indoor guard....yes!!!! I'll have to spend the weekend switching between the Olympics and Flo Marching I guess.

The districts down here have also moved Spring Break back one week. I wonder if the rest of the state will follow suit.

It's now official for Leander ISD as well.

I hardly think our shows in Texas are considered boring. I definitely am getting a general sense from you of an overall disdain for a great number of our high school bands. What exactly is it that you are looking for in this forum? Not being snarky, I just honestly want to know.
