I LOVE Westfield's show this year. You know you're creating great effect when you can make the audience feel uneasy. The last movement sounds like I am playing the 8th World in Super Mario 3! The euphonium soloist is fantastic, especially at the end.

 

This show will be one of my favorites at San Antonio.

Man I love old school breakbeats.....seemed ya'll's percussion arranger likes 'em too. It felt like there should have been one more power chord hit in the end though, the retransitioning from the final hits to the breakbeat should have culminated in the final chord, then a reinstatement to resolve the previous switch-offs from before....I felt like it was about to launch into another breakdown but that was actually the ending.

 

Love the Nobuo Uematsu music......just wish people would choose some different stuff other than the Westfield '04/'05 lineup (FFX ballad was cool!).

here is the 2007 springtown show "The Four Seasons"

 

unfortently the latest video i could find was taken during the fifth game of the year on september 28th. it includes everything but the last 7-8 sets of the show which are arguabley the best. several changes have been made since this video has been taken (primarily the trumpet player has the whole solo at the beginning, and the clairnet was removed. and the sets as mentioned earlier).

 

if i can find a later video i will post it but this is the latest one to my current knowledge

wow Brazoswood...When I first heard they were doing music from the Passion, I knew it would be "Ressurection." Wow, I can't wait to see tomorrow's finals...I really hope they do extremely well

 

 

Actually, the music was taken from the original teaser trailer. It was later released on one of those promotional albums as "Themes from The Passion."

 

But "Resurrection" is a GREAT track!

Mansfield Legacy Marching Band - Halftime Performance, October 11, 2007

 

The name of their show is "The Extreme"

FINALLY an arrangement of Nobuo Uematsu's "One Winged Angel"! I like the sound of this band......they're loud and very clean sounding with no one sticking out that much.

 

However, it's easier to concentrate on playing when the drill is that easy and the tempos are that slow.....not a bad thing at all, it's better to sound good and look crappy rather than look good and sound crappy.....and really they don't look crappy at all. My big complaint is just the tempos and the cheesy body movements. The transition into the breakdown section (aka. "Irrational Impulses" which was TOTALLY ripped from Westfield 2004....though I'm assuming the show arranger is either the same or the school bought the show from him) was too abrupt......and the body movements there were really cheesy and didn't fit the 'cool' techno theme at all.

 

Glad to see another Nobuo Uematsu show....I've been looking forward to this show since its announcement, and it didn't disappoint. Good video.

...not sure if there'll be a BOA video or not....I'll edit the post if I find one.

 

 

Really if you want to just see the design element watch the 1st one, if you want to be nitpicky about forms watch the 2nd, and if you want to just hear the sound, listen to the either the 2nd or 3rd (I can't decide which is better).
