JediSaxSolis Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 Both of our bands got straight ones. We're all happy. Southwest? We heard you guys yesterday at State Wind Ensemble. Great job with Redline Tango; I could swear you guys were 5A. Awesome job all around. You have some great saxes, too. Don't take 'em for granted.

Awesome job all around. You have some great saxes, too. Don't take 'em for granted. Thanks, it means a lot to us. Your band was the first we heard when we went up to listen. You had our attention the second you played that first warm-up note. You all sounded great. Edited May 4, 2008 by Fata1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

borchnork Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Our final band concert it tonight. Sad to think that I'll never play my instrument again... =[ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urkadrums Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 (edited) the march you could be thinking of is "Semper Fidelis" we're playing it right now it has the snare thing then a cool trumpet part that lasts for a while. No, it wasn't that. lol oh well. We played at the Meyerson Center in Dallas, TX just last weekend at the Invitational Wind Band Festival. We won Outstanding Large School Percussion and placed 2nd overall. Their isn't a oustanding soloist award awarded to percussion, but the percussion judge said they were going to talk to some people and get an award made for me because my sweeeeet xylo playing on the Persechetti symhony was so....sweeeeeeet lol.

borchnork Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Our last concert was last night. It was perfect. =] We played Elsa's Procession to the Cathedral as our last song and it ends at like quintuple forte (or at least, our version did. lol). It was so loud and it was just perfect... like in-tune and balanced and everything. As soon as we were done playing a guy in the audience was just like "WOAH!" hahaha. it was the most memorable concert I've had, and I'm glad my band career ended that way.

Xenon Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 The hall echoed for like five minutes after we played the last notes of the first movement. Yeah, the Meyerson has a really long ring to it.
