mbui Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 QUOTE (the terminator @ Sep 26 2007, 10:40 PM) Is Bell showing their whole show? L.D. Bell just learned and unveiled Part 4 of their show today. I don't know if they'll have the full show on the field on Saturday but they should have a pretty good portion done.

SerialSleeper90 Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 I was there. Haltom did really really well, altough I'm positive I've seen the exact same opening done by another band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SerialSleeper90 Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 Oh and omg. Their clarinet soloist... amazing. Being a clarinet player myself I pretty much yelled after he was done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenon Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 Yeah, that clarinet was on fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

borchnork Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 wow, I was expecting Birdville to place 3rd after finals performance. I thought Grapevine really did an excellent job and was kinda shocked at Birdville. Although, their guy in the guard did some INSANE flips! Â oh! and I loved Bell. I really wish that they had Mvmt. 5 learned, but to see them execute a SPIRIT Show as well as they did just astounded me. Not only was it entertaining, but it was performed just as well as their actual marching show. it made me happy inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenon Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 I actually had Grapevine ahead of Birdville in Prelims, but in Finals I thought Birdville had them hands down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borchnork Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 see, I didn't get there until L.D. Bells rehearsal, so I missed prelims, but idk... I guess it's just the fact that they're our competition at Area that made me judge them so harshly. Â But, Playing music from Grainger is VERY risky in my opinion when it comes to a state year.

Xenon Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 I agree, it is very well known and respected music and every judge is going to have their own opinion as to how it should be played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowdownrotation08 Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 I got to watch Birdville warm up before prelims and before finals and i thought they were pretty impressive. especially the low brass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borchnork Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 I agree, it is very well known and respected music and every judge is going to have their own opinion as to how it should be played. were you wearing your Txbands shirt? Â I think I said something to you about how I was just there to watch right after Birdville performed... Because I was walking across to the other side where some other CHS kids were and somebody was like "hey centennial!" ... Â Â Â And about the Grainger, that's only part of the reason I feel it's risky. Interpretation is a killer, but then his music is also very complex chordally (if that's even a word...). To nail the tuning required for a show like that for 8 minutes is really hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenon Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 I think I said something to you about how I was just there to watch right after Birdville performed... Because I was walking across to the other side where some other CHS kids were and somebody was like "hey centennial!" ... That was you!?! Â I didn't want to just come out and say "Hey, are you Borchnork?" because if you weren't I would sound like a mad man. And yes, that was the Dome Sweet Dome TxBands shirt.

borchnork Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 haha, yup. It was me. Â I saw you with the shirt earlier that day too, as you were walking up the stairs from the concession stand or something. I recognized the Dome Sweet Dome, but I couldn't place where I saw it from, and I didn't want to say "hey, do I know you from somewhere?" because I think my dad woulda been a little freaked out. hahaha.

SerialSleeper90 Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Hahahaha. That would be pretty funny if someone got called borchnork out of the blue. Btw I was part of "the other CHS kids". Â Watching Birdville kinda made me anxious cuz they are in our area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddmwingz Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 i second everything wang just said(i.e. the borchnork out of the blue being weird, being one of the other CHS kids, and anxious while watching birdville) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
