Dream Competition
youraveragebandkid replied to JFNDOWBFAN's topic in Non-UIL: Upcoming Contests, Events, and Festivals
That would definitely be easier for TX bands fs! -
Ohhhhhh I'm sorry I wasn't sure but honestly straight leg is easier to clean.
-
I think (from what I saw at Area finals last year and BOASA) that Pearland marches bent leg...what's funny is our head band director over here at Foster marched Phantom Regiment (who marches bent leg) but he completely refuses to use it haha
-
Yep! Foster does straight leg and always has done it. We've been doing great over here! We're coming into this season so locked in y'all just gotta be ready for it. We're already taking such great strides and it makes me excited because I think y'all are really going to enjoy "On the Flipside". I'm having so much fun over here and I hope y'all are having fun too!

2025 SHOW REVEALS
youraveragebandkid replied to GuardMom27's topic in Everything Music: Marching, Concert, Auditions and more
I’m REALLY excited for Cedar Ridge’s show ngl…😄 -
I’m gonna say this and I’mma say it now: Our show music is absolutely amazing!!! 🤩🤩🤩 It’s so electric, light and upbeat but it also has a mysterious flipside to it (hehehe get it?). I’m excited 😆
-
Funny how I never did this yet I’ve been wanting to for so long 😭 Hey y’all!!!!! I am (as of August of 2025) a junior at Foster High School. I play clarinet and am one of the drum majors for the Foster marching band I only marched my sophomore year mostly because we don’t march many freshmen. I really wanna learn mello for DCI and plan to major in music. I’m just here to get to know people and connect over the one thing I live laugh love: BAND! Also if y’all wanna know my fav hs band shows, I ADORE Hebron 21 and 23, TWHS 23, Reagan 19, Cy Woods 24, Pearland 23 and 24, Cy Fair 23 and 24, and Foster 22 (no bias- that’s js my fav Foster show). In terms of DCI, I bias Phantom Regiment (w their logo as my phone case) and love the Mandarins. That’s it. May God’s peace be with y’all ❤️
-
😳😳😳 y’all be reaching Pearland levels right now 😭😭😭
-
That’s pretty similar to how we do things over here
-
Oooh woodwind heavy, I see!!! 😄😃 that gets me excited! 😆 Our opener (which is a combo of Fur Elise and Beethoven’s Symphony No 7 Movement 2) has a lot more woodwind presence than brass, even though the brass sounds just as musical.
-
You think y’all’s fee is low? Our minimum is 200$ but we’re offering a range of prices for participants.

Our marching camp was about two weeks ago and our music preview camp is next week. I have a great feeling about this year tho. Of course, I can’t truly give an accurate account on playing ability yet (because A. We don’t know what the freshmen sound like yet and B. I won’t be playing but on a 6-8 ft ladder conducting). Here’s what I’m gonna say though: the music book is easier for the instruments but it’s definitely better than last year’s. If y’all watched our show reveal video, y’all know that we play Fur Elise (and before y’all come at me, no, it’s not corny and there’s another side to that part of the show. Hence our show being called On the Flipside). Nevertheless, I’ve never genuinely been so excited about a marching show before. We want to be great to make this show great, and I have a lot of hope and determination to make this show just as phenomenal as it seems.

I feel like next season’s gonna be even more unpredictable than this past season, but that’s probably just me 😝
-
All of the concepts from this area so far are amazing, but i’m very curious to see where PM will go. Despite the competition for that/those last state spots, I will be cheering y’all on! 😄
-
Yes, yes! I’m excited 😆

The music selection is fire 🔥 (I LOVE Oceans 🥰🥰🥰🥰- that’s gonna be a gorgeous ballad if they choose that song for their ballad) -
I’m gonna have to say…this year these bands have a LOT of interesting concepts I’m very excited to see on a marching field 😁☺️🙏🏻😄
-
I KNEW it was gonna be dark!!! YES! 😄😼
-
It’s probably another really cool, dark, indoor-like show 😅…unless I’m wrong??
