  21. I disagree about UIL birthing boring shows. Many shows may be boring compared to BOA stlye shows, but I found many of the bands at state intresting. Watching the video of Dickinson gets my blood pumping, not because its my band performing it, but because it is so exciting. I loved just about every band that I got to see at state. Back to the topic, My individual performance is to impress no one. I dont care what any one thinks. The judges could think it was gold, but if I dont feel confident that it was my best performance, then I am not satisfied. The entire audience could give the band a standing ovation, but the band members know how we performed. Sure its great to hear the crowd go crazy after the last chord played at FFFF, its great to see fans standing and yelling for us. But it takes alot to satisfy the members of our band. After our finals performance at state, I marched off the field with tears rolling down my face. Not tears of joy, not tears of sadness, but tears of anger. We knew what we were capable of, and we knew that our performance was not our best. The crowd was great, the judges gave us 3rd place. But even medaling at state and hearing multiple people in the stands tell us that we were great does not change the way I feel about our performance. I am proud to be part of our band, I am happy that our results were good. But I will never be satisfied knowing that my last performance with my high school band was not our best. [This may not be the opinion of everyone from Dickinson's band, but this is how I personally feel] I dont know if this is really on subject, but once I started writing, I couldnt stop.
  22. Yes. We beat them by quite a bit. In both prelims and finals.
  23. My parents were in the stands sitting next to [insert bands name here] fans and students. And right before they announced the finalist bands, one of the students turned to my father and saw that he was with Dickinson, becuase of the shirt he was wearing, and told him that we were not going to make finals because we sucked. The student wasnt kidding at all. She wasnt smiling about it, she was being rude. Sadly for her, they announced our bands right next to each other. They jumped when they heard there name announced, and the girl turned and gave my father an ugly look when they announced ours. I was shocked to here this. Good thing I know that their band is full of students who are not like her, thanks to this board. just another story.
  24. I realized yesterday that although there are little problems along the way, the thing that matters most is your end result. We had a few minutes to talk to our sections before our finals performance, and I couldnt help but get emotional. This year has been so stressful trying to deal with people who I thought hated me. But after hearing what they thought about this year has made all the little problems seem stupid. Now the problem I'm having is that marching band is almost over for me. All thats left is football games. Its kinda depressing.
