Miray Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 I was browsing around Music For All's website and my curiosity brought me to the National Concert Band Festival/ National Percussion Festival page. Being a percussionist myself, I was wondering what it was? And I noticed that there was only a few Texas concert bands and percussion enesembles going, so I was wondering if it's a big event or not? According to the website, the bands that are attending are J. Frank Dobie, Wylie, Vista Ridge, and Cypress Falls. Are they any good? [since Cypress Falls is so close to my school, I know a bit about them, but their concert bands and percussion, I haven't the slightest clue. But the other three, I dont know anything about] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just in marching band but in the indoor setting as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys seem to know how to get it done in all aspects of a high school music program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
