Reading this thread 13 years later and I had forgot about it. Dear god 💀

GN weekend Indy.pdfAll in good fun, but I thought this was good

I meant no disrespect to any of the bands I mentioned. I'm just using examples of bands that have achieved levels of success that they have not in the past. I remember Hebron and they were always a band to reckon with for a BOA or UIL finals spot. I'm just wondering if they will continue to perform at the level so that they are not just expected to make finals, but be in the medal hunt. Same goes for CTJ. I'm really impressed since their school was only established in 2008 that they have become one of the top bands in the state in so little time. I'm just interested in the factors that get a band from one level of achievement to a higher one, such as consistently medaling or making finals. To avoid being a "hit-or-miss" band.

We all know the powerhouses (Marcus, Bell, Bowie, Reagan, Coppell, Duncanville, to name a few). More bands have found recent success (Hebron getting the silver medal, Johnson making finals), but can they sustain it? What factors are necessary to create a program that is a perennial powerhouse that not only can be expected to make State, but come close to, if not make finals consistently?

1-2 toss up between Coppell and Dripping Springs?

It's always interesting to see those who succeed in both UIL and BOA, like LD Bell and Marcus. They are able to find the balance between execution and creativity.

eh, just watch it on watch espn on the iPhone between bands! that's what I'll do.

AHHHH I'm so glad they made the UT- Tx Tech game at 11am so I can go to San Antonio and watch finals! (Assuming Coppell makes finals of course). Just had to share that with everybody lol

I found Coppell's 2011 show! It's pretty awesome and it's UIL so they're cool with people recording the performances.

Ok I'm especially looking for the Coppell video for this year. I'm an alumnus and won't be able to go to any of the games or contests this year. Please help if possible!

Dang I don't think it's right for companies to copyright videos of bands, when it's the kids doing all of the work. how is a band kid supposed to show his grandparents his show if his parents don't have a videocamera?

Does anyone actually have a video for the show this year??

If anyone has links to show videos for 2011, please post them here! Especially if anyone has vids from: Coppell, Duncanville, LD Bell, Bowie, and Marcus.

UT Longhorn band 2011-2012: Our traditional shows: Script Texas and Wall-to-Wall Band Non traditional shows: Jazz Show (with Caravan, Moondance, and April in Paris) Beatles Show (with All You Need is Love, Help!, Gotta Get You Into My Life, She Loves You, I Wanna Hold Your Hand, and Hey Jude) Karaoke Show (with Friends in Low Places, Sweet Home Alabama, and Carry on My Wayward Son) Queen Show (with Bicycle Race & Bohemian Rhapsody)

GE would just have to weigh more heavily...maybe combine it with marching score for an over all visual score? Of course, this would have to be in a good few years where a majority of bands operated like that.
