well, after seeing all the bands at state finals, they were ALL very "decent shows that are both challenging interesting and clean", you have to be all those things to make state finals. im just saying, most bands dont maintain the integrity of the origional peice of music, which is VERY dificult to do without making the show "boring". You can sort of tell which bands do that by also looking at state honor band results; coppell, langham, and duncanville always score very high in that, so naturally their high level of musicianship is reflected in their music selection, while on the other hand, i dont think Bell is ever a big honor band contender, though they are an exceptional marching band. make sense?

yes they are entering BOA houston, and super regionals. i know this will be their first appearence at Super Regionals, and i also heard they are going to be doing a more BOA show this year (which is very unlike them). I heard they are wanting more experience in the dome, but i think its probably to get more BOA experience, seeing as state is becoming more like BOA (ugh). Yeah, their shows are more on the "boring" side, but they also are one of the few bands left in Texas that wont sacrifice the integrity of a great piece of music to make it easier to march on the field/and or to make the show more "crowd friendly". They also march incredibly difficult drill with great accuracy, though it may not always be as flashy as most bands. This being why they are always extremley strong contenders at state. And i saw their perfomance of Scheherazade at Duncanville. it was definatly one of their more entertaining shows, the music especially.
