  1. So this is a dumb question...but what is Honor Band? I'm not familiar with it. How is it different than All State?
  2. Hi band parents. I was cleaning out our band uniform and storage room today and we have SO much old gear. Bibbers from two shows ago that we probably won't use again, a full set of retired marching jackets, pants and plumed hats... Are there schools who need or want older gear? We could donate it to Goodwill or Salvation Army, of course, but I would love for a band who needs it to have it. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
  3. Just reading through all these posts...I'm totally knocked out. Things sure have come a long way since I was in Flag Corps back in 1986! 🤣 We didn't even have our own competition. Can't wait to see and learn more about this talented world of colorguard!
  4. Congrats to Highland Park percussion. 😊 They were a huge part of HP’s scores at state. Those are some awesome and talented kids.
  5. I'm just curious...has the Texas SR always been in San Antonio? I wonder if it was in the D/FW area if more out of state bands would attend since it would be a little bit closer (I'm thinking OK, IN bands...)
  6. This is horrible and absolutely heartbreaking. I think every band in Texas is saying a prayer for them right now.
  7. No kidding! Should be a very good and thoroughly entertaining contest!
  8. What is the title of their show? I haven't seen it yet but that's a fun theme!
  9. They realize that they are champions in a field of champions. Love that they get this moment.
  10. Hebron seals the deal. That’s about as far as I can go. I know the placements matter but they kind of don’t since so much is subjective. Mind blowing performances.
  11. The upper level was open in the 5A competition. It was nice to sit up there!
  12. There was a full band retreat for 5A state...and it was AWESOME. Yay for full retreats again. I assume they'll do one for 6A as well.
  13. Hi band parents/boosters - I have a question for you. Our 5A band is one of the only ones I've seen that does not have a semi/trailer truck for props, equipment, etc. We have three small UPS sized trucks that we own, and they aren't ideal for large props, instrument storage, etc. Does anyone have experience buying/renting/getting a semi/trailer for your band? If so, I'd love advice on where to start for our band to try to get a vehicle like that. Thanks for any insights you may have. Our district funding is limited, so we'll likely have to raise funds or figure out a funding model.
  14. In addition to waking up with HP's Sugar Rush music in my head (b/c that was my kid's show, so it's been in my head since August), I also have Rouse's music in my head. 🙂 Again, every performance was truly outstanding yesterday, but Rouse's show was especially lovely IMO...really loved that music book! Congratulations to all the finalists and to the medalists! It was such a wonderful experience seeing all of those shows in one sitting, and seeing the full band retreat at the end. I can't wait to follow along for 6A...
  15. Can someone explain what the individual visual score is, exactly? Thanks!
  16. I’m proud of our HP Highlander Band! They did all they could with a lot of joy! What an amazing day. Every performance by every band has been so outstanding!
  17. So the same people are judging but they judge different categories?
  18. It is crazy (in a good way) that bands are BETTER after Covid. This year’s 5A prelim was soo good!
  19. I think this is very much in the ballpark but it will be so interesting to see where things land when it’s all done. I am too nervous to venture a guess. Dang…stacked final with also some notable bands missing. All of these shows are so unique…the judges have their work cut out for them. It really was a fantastic day of stunning performances. And one of my favorite parts was hearing from all the drum majors at the end. Band kids truly are the best kids!!
  20. Earlier today some of our folks said it was fun and parked nearby...but it's an easy walk.
