  1. They just got their closer drill this week, so they haven’t had as much of an opportunity to clean as most.
  2. 6:00 Westfield 6:15 Spring 6:30 Kingwood 6:45 Klein Oak 7:00 College Park 7:15 The Woodlands 7:30 Tomball Memorial 7:45 Klein Collins 8:00 North Shore 8:15 Oak Ridge
  3. Well the drill that Oak Ridge and College Park has is definitely not easy. There is no such thing as easy drill. It’s just the style of drill that is written that you see different. Oak Ridge traditionally likes to use sweeping curvilinear forms with blocked marching in their closer with an emphasis on marching for most of the show. College Park tends to have isolated groups in circular and/or block forms that connect together and travel throughout the show. The Woodlands tends to have tightly grouped sets mixed with various ways to get with them. Totally different styles of drill, all with great difficulty in their own way. And I’m not so sure where you got those scores from, because the sheets on the LSP site give Cy-Fair an 88.05, College Park an 87.3 and Oak Ridge an 86.65.
  4. Being from Oak Ridge, I will say this is true. Instead of taking from 2 Jr. High Schools, we are taking from only one. So our usual 120-130 person freshman class coming into band is more like 60-70. The band will be smaller but it won't be significantly smaller for a few years.
  5. This year at Oak Ridge, our opener gradually accelerates from 152-196ish. We have pushed over 200 in a few extremely high energy runs. When it hits full speed, the brass has a half-time company front and the woodwinds have a double time snake around idea going through the brass and across the field. The end of our how has a technical section written at 184 where the full band has constant runs, we're about 8 beats under tempo for now but it's getting there.
