hey treblemaker. i have a large list of shows that many texas high schools have done and is updated to 2008. i can give you these shows to help expand the directory if you want. message me if you are interested.

Concert: 1-1-1
Sightreading: 2-2-3 
As usual, the sightreading makes no sense musically. We did as much dynamic contrast as possible but that atonal, minor Level 6 varsity 5A piece was dumb....

i think marcus is going to give everyone there a run for their money, that's for sure. I think marcus, LD, woodlands, and Richland can all make finals too. i think it's going to be a great texas year.

This is from Craig Fitzpatrick's website: (He's Cypress Ridge's designer:)
"Finding Sanctuary"
music based on:
John Mackey's "Asphalt Cocktail"
Eric Whitacre's "Water Night"
Verdi's "Requiem"
Knowing Fitz, it'll be an awesome show.
daaang... im so jealous
it sounds like an awesome show. -
I don't think there are ever any shoe-in's in marching band. A lot of people think there are "guarantees" every season before anyone has announced any kind of whisper about a single show. Sure there are always going to be bands that stick in your mind as having a really good past few years, but I believe that until you have seen their 2009 field production you cannot reasonably know what is going to happen. Even with top bands things could go wrong, someone could trip and cause a massive collision possibly preventing their band from making finals or placing in the top 3 at State. Also just because a band has a successful recent past does not automatically mean their upcoming season is going to be as good as the last. There is a whole new group of kids and and whole new show. Things happen. To provide an example you could look at Reagan. Ask anyone 4 years ago if they could be stopped and 99.9% of the time they would have said no. Look at them now, instead of being at the top of the finalist bands they are towards the bottom. You also never know when some band will come from the shadows and become top dog. Where was Marcus 4 or 5 years ago? They were making finals but mostly in the bottom 5 or so. No where near the level they have become now. Every band works hard to be where they are and they don't win because of their name. They win because of what they put on the field.
Okay that was my rant.
true. but, reagan did have a school split plus staff changes. and it's not like there bad or anything. they are still making finals at BOA events. they may not be as high up as they were in let's say 2003, but give it a few years when their staff regenerates. the whole good from year-to-year comes from consitency as well as a stable program. On the point of directors, i don't think any high, state level directors will leave anytime soon. i doubt ms drinkwater is going anywhere considering she helped marcus rise to two back2back state championships or any elite director for that matter....good point, but marcus, LD, and many more great programs seem to have quite a solid foundation right now.

don't want to divulge too much about our show but it's REALLY dark...It's really awesome. quite artistic compared to what we have done in the past. plus, i think our band works a lot better with dark shows so it will be a nice change.

uh....used to be in the band that has our old assistant band director???
-
back to the metronome topic, our band has never used one at a game (for the band) but our drum majors have minimetronomes to listen to the tempo and then count us off. the weirdest thing ive seen metronome wise was one of the bands in area b finals, i think it was haltom, had their drum major clip a metronome on her ear! it was a very odd sight...
