Unless we’re talking about WGI, just about every school does their regular show book for Thunder and Lonestar. Naturally these are written to complement the winds vs being the sole attraction.

oh yeah, it's definitely not a magic bullet, it's a risk.

Most do not. Only 3 of the 14 finalists did. It’s totally within the rules and simply a choice. It can actually be pretty challenging to get right and avoid a tinny sounding brass, similar to blending bass synth levels to avoid making it clearly defined as synth and not the winds. It’s an art all of its own.

Totally agree.

Yes this should be a place for friendly discussions. In that vein, maybe consider deleting your not-so-friendly one disparaging a program. If you’re not assuming, let us all know what we don’t know. I firmly stand by my assumption about you, I think it’s pretty solid.

“Would seem to indicate that” sounds like an assumption to me. Not a good look to also trash a program that may have no relation whatsoever to the initial comment, or any program for that matter. I do get where you’re coming from, as long as you’re not barking up the wrong tree. And I’m going to assume you’re a Rouse parent from your posts, if that’s okay.

Has that person identified as a Vista parent that I missed, or are we assuming?

So I understand, you claim to have heard a vista person disparage rouse because they have some high level of funds to spend on mics?

I’m not sure why it matters who made the comment of a fact. Either there are mics or there aren’t, it’s not any sort of opinion. It’s like commenting that someone’s’ uniforms are black, so what, either they’re black or they’re not.

It’s not, Marcus and Round Rock do it too. I wish none of them did.

Their guard is unrealistically good, and the visual judges may get a little over focused on that aspect

It was originally unlisted, now, it looks more like they want it out there, which they should, it’s definitive.

He doesn’t. This is an unlisted video, all of which are meant for internal use only.

Liberty Hill had a tuba go down as well

Yes. I’ve never heard any mention of winning or beating anybody else where I am. The only goals spoken of is to be better than we were the day before. All the people with all the bands have suffered through the same ridiculous heat for hours and hours. While we compete, us band people are all in the same tribe ultimately.

In your position, I totally understand. Too bad the adults don’t always follow the model behavior of the students.

Please name the school being mentioned. If it’s mine, I’d want to chastise our fans. And if it’s not, I wouldn’t want anyone thinking it might be my school. I don’t imagine it was my folks, but if it was, I’d certainly want to know.
