Phantom Regiment 2006. They got shafted big time. It was better than '96 and '89 in my opinion. That mellophone line and Star's 91 mellophone line are tied in my book for most kickass mello section ever. If you weren't at finals, you don't understand just how magical that performance was. That was my 6th or 7th time to see them, and all the other shows didn't even come close to what they pulled out that night.

Overlooked shows

If I remember right, the arrangement was in 4/4, so we just marched it normal. Occasionally there'd be like a 5/8 bar, where we'd march a 1-2-3, 1-2 type step. It was confusing for about 5 minutes. -
Favorite Show this season

L.D. Bell, but I've seen it way too many times. SFA at a close 2nd, simply amazing. -
Go when you can, it's not a big deal.

Everybody at every high school is in love with the Cavaliers. I only saw the 05 show once, in San Antonio, beyond the right endzone. I couldn't tell you at thing about it, besides the name and some ladders.

THAT'S THE POINT!

"On the field, from Santa Clara, California, presenting their 2007 Program!" That's how.

BOA Arlington W/U and Perfromance times
Skippy replied to Sicemb's topic in Past Contests, Events, and Festivals Archive
Oh, I was thinking Bell won Arlington last year for some reason... never mind. And yeah, hopefully there will be a lot of '05 and '06 SFA people there, and we can yell "Be Remembered" like they do every year. They better kick some ****. -
They might barely get back into finals. 10th-12th

BOA Arlington W/U and Perfromance times
Skippy replied to Sicemb's topic in Past Contests, Events, and Festivals Archive
Yeah... everyone's going to miss them. Sucks for those people, but it's a heck of a lot more convinient for me. I don't understand though, I thought past champions always went last in prelims. That's why I've hardly seen any live marching band shows in the past 3 years. -
Why are some bands so good?
Skippy replied to bariphonium's topic in Everything Music: Marching, Concert, Auditions and more
I don't think anyone did. But it's very true. -
Because they're fresh, innovative, and push the limits while doing it all immaculately.

There's a big difference between "They sucked" and "I didn't like them". -

Who was the best middle school band director in the state, and how did he achieve such a prestigious title? -
Or the opposite could happen. The kids who were going to march revolution because it was close to home, will now try out for the Crossmen instead, thus drawing away Revolution members. (Several membes of Revolution went to Crossmen in 2004 when the corps went inactive and I'm sure they've told their Revo friends about the experience). The texas kids trying out for Crossmen are doing so because there's finally a high caliber div 1 corps in the state, and they want a shot at it, I doubt they'll fall back on a corps like Revolution.

2006 MARCHING SHOWS
Skippy replied to Aegis Fang's topic in Everything Music: Marching, Concert, Auditions and more
Hey, don't worry about it. Our directors are very... not creative in coming up with show names. (just look at the past 3 years) Our shows have never really had a theme or story or anything either. -

2006 MARCHING SHOWS
Skippy replied to Aegis Fang's topic in Everything Music: Marching, Concert, Auditions and more
I was at that game. You guys suprised me a little bit, I had never heard of Martin before. Not bad at all. And from the endzone you probably couldn't hear all the synth/electronic stuff... it adds a heck of a lot to Bell's show. -
I don't remember the cheers for madison scouts being exceptionally loud... Maybe I just forgot.

Should have done this 3 years ago.
