borchnork Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 different Maverick Bands... we're going to be cutting out the first 4 sets for UIL purposes. even going over tempo, we are 8 seconds over. we may hafta do something like that. If we playing all our pieces at EXACT tempo, we come up with about 7 and 1/2 minutes of music. If you add in transition times between pieces, plus tempo fluctuations, we come right up (possibly over) to the 8 minute mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsstephenyo Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Well, seeing as I am an alum of Hebron, I inquired about the show and what not. My informant requested that I do not release specifics, but apparently they have over 110 pages of drill with more movements to complete. Man, I remember my senior year when we had 80 pages of drill and I thought that was a lot... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikilledabird39 Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 College Park just finished our show today. We just need to clean the end of our closer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borchnork Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 WE FINISHED LEARNING TODAY! yah... it needs a lot of cleaning, and the end of our closer needs to go about 40 beats faster still. But we'll get it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lionbc Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Now, we have most of the show down, just a few charts in the third/last movement left, as far as I know. The end is still not the best, but I think we have it down fairly well. Last year we had our whole show down by our first competition, this year we didn't, but we still had most of it. I'm just sad that they took away paint pen priveleges, so no more "THIS IS MY LAST CHART EVER!!!", but I still got to put down "LAST OPENER CHART EVER!", that's when we still had them.

borchnork Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 I love paint pens! It's a Sharpie that is basically a pen with paint rather than ink. We use it on the parking lot to mark sets permanently so that it only comes out after a lot of rain and sunshine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClarinetGlissandoInBlue Posted October 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 I kind of realized that after I posted...haha We are still old fashioned I guess. We still use chalk. Paint pens huh? How do you not get confused with all of these semi-permanent marks on the field? Doesn't it defeat the purpose? Or would you take a hose to the parking lot after a certain point in the drill is reached? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borchnork Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 well, the paint fades really quickly. and also, I'm not sure what other schools do, but we put our initials on our spot, and we also have 6-7 different colors of pens so if you memorize the color (and you know your initials) it's pretty easy.

ClarinetGlissandoInBlue Posted October 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 okay. I was just wondering about the lastingness of the paint. We have spot numbers (I'm #19) and we just mark the outlines of the feet, with 19-#set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

borchnork Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 if we do, then I don't see much in the way of competition. the drill is really awesome for that tempo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
