MaverickBand15

McNeil is doing surprisingly well this year. We beat Cedar park.

from what i was told there were 3 judges on the field, and 2 in the box. The three on the field gave us 1st, 1st, and 2nd. The 2 in the box both gave us 5th. So thats why i say they were torn.

The judges were really torn w/ Mcneil. Some gave us 1st and others gave us last. It was interesting. We got the percussion and guard captain in Group V open

McNeil 2008 "Made in America" 1st Performance w/ whole show on the field:

Hey, I have heard great things about yalls band this year! Good luck this weekend....I hope yall have a great performance!

we should have a good performance, we have the whole show on the field, and the music sounds pretty good. It's gonna be a matter of whether we can keep a steady tempo. We have had problems with that. Lamar Burkhalter came out this week, and he helped us fix some of those issues.

Hey Danpod, You should scream for the Mavericks when they announce McNeil! Have some Maverick Spirit....!!!!!!!

McNeil's show finally got a name...haha took the directors awhile. Anyway its called, "Made in America"

Our directors are reporting they got an email from the belton people saying this competition is canceled. No other school has told their students this. Has anyone else heard about this?

We play Bryan Next week...i wonder if we can beat them. McNeil beat Belton, 35 - 6

haha, McNeil beat A&M Consolidated 26-3. We always win our 1st 3 games, then lose the rest.

Marimba 17 Xylophone 16 (+) Vibraphone 11 Chimes 10 Bells 11 Concert Snare 9 Marching Snare 9 Marching Tenors 10 Concert Bass Drum 11 Marching Bass Drum 11 Tom-Toms 9 Crash Cymbals 10 Suspended Cymbal 9 (-) Triangle 9 Timpani 10 Gong 10 Finger Cymbals 8

we have the entire oppener drill on the field. The PIT and Drumline can play the opener together really well. The band can play the show well when standing, but has some work to do when marching. That will come in time!

I love having the Palace in Round Rock for football games. It's our home stadium!

we did "Somniphobia" last year. All about the fear of sleep. kinda sounds like the same concept

yay we are 680!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Drumline's and PIT's

McNeil is taping on tuesday

is any other band in Central Texas Area doing the Keye Marching Band Challenge? Usually westwood, McNeil, and a few other bands do it.

Mr. Chreste's wife was my history teacher in 8th grade...i know it's random.

why are percussionists so amazing?
