Harmony

Nobody who participated in this contest should feel like they lost because every band was exceptional. Making art competitive chafes me a little. I love it, but I hate it. The hardest working students in the world could be handed the dullest drill and most boring, easy music. How would they place? With perfect execution, they'd still wind up somewhere in the middle. Is this contest stuff for the students or for the directors? Obviously both, but what's the breakdown? 35/65?

Just to make it more fun they'll be in Abilene the night before at a football game. I wonder if some of the band will leave after halftime & have just a pep band for the rest of the game.

or in other words, Music for All who have $big$$bucks$$ That was wrong. Please forgive me Lord and be with the starving pygmies in New Guinea

I couldn't hear a great deal of Churchill's music due to the guy whooping and hollering ridiculously at every guard catch. Anyone else have this problem?

Congrats Marcus! amazing music, excellent show all around. How about a fire/flame theme for next year?
