Back in 2016, during Area Finals for Langham, one of the baritone saxes ruptured their appendix during the show and marched the rest of it. Pretty sure he collapsed after the performance.

Yeah, lol, performing was ear piercing. You couldn’t hear yourself count, still no excuses for the performance we had PA mishap or not. Good luck to y’all in competition season, Tompkins band has a bright future!

Also that day was the day I discovered this website and my first post was explaining what happened with Langham’s performance. So that day wasn’t all that bad for me.

It was Langham, Bridgeland didn’t make area finals. Think they got like 12th in Prelims. I still remember the night like it was last night. First time anyone had seen head director ever cry while she told us about Milo Murphy’s law. Think it was the second ever time Langham didn’t make SMBC in school history. Are you in the Tompkins band?

That’s pretty cool! Just realized that when you mentioned it.

Director said we aren’t doing entire show for BOA because she wants a clean show and not a clean show and Movement 5. Gives us more time to clean though.

I really like their show musically, marching is pretty solid too. I love the bassoon duet though! Could be another surprise band to sneak into finals.

Going back to Katy Legacy is gonna bring some dark memories back, hopefully that’ll motivate us to give the crowd a performance we never got.

Just when I think the excitement is going to settle, it goes up another level!

And what about Cy Ranch too? I thought they would surely make finals.

Question: I’ve never marched in a BOA contest since I’m only a sophomore and I was wondering something. Part of our show requires our metronome guy to be the drum major in the back field. Will we get points deducted for iffy conductor technique?

I’m probably most excited to see them at BOA after last year’s amazing show.

We just had an great run at the game, amazing bounce back from last week’s performance. Hopefully we can keep it up!
