treyj Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 i've been lucky, haven't experienced a change except adding a new one this year It really isn't as horrible as I jsut made it sound. Last year was a "transition" year and we still did quite well. And our assistant director became head director and we got a new assistant who is pretty much a genius so all in al lim happy with how it turned otu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b_sax_agent Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 dang. Oh well. To be able to play bartok on the field...That could be risky, but I look foreward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I mean, I think anyone would give to be a director of music at LD Bell. I would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radchad Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Haltom's assistant director went to LD Bell, not their head director. Oh really? I thought he was the head director.. my bad. Thanks for the correction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radchad Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Yeah all I can say about ours is it's titled "insomnia" and includes works like grahams "harrison's dream" by far the most difficult music we've had. and no idea on drill although we're supposedly moving to more "contemperary" band because we've always been very traditional. no props and such You had props in Spotlights. Haha, I'd say the dots counted as props. But that's cool. I don't mind props, as long as they are used well. I focus more on drill. There are traditional and more modern styles of drill, too. Both can be exciting, but it just depends on how well it is written. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radchad Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 This should be pretty cool. '98 Churchill is still one of my favorite Barber shows. Sweet. Winston Churchill has always been a favorite of mine. And heck yes to Samuel Barber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_sax_agent Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 yeah. I can only think of three shows where we had props for us. 2003 2006 and 2007. (Iswear-we had more trouble dealing with those props than some parts of the drill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbui Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 what pieces? I have yet to hear Concerto for Orchestra and Music for Strings Percussion and Celeta on the marching field. Whoa. You're missing out. Marching band wise----Spring's show in 2001 contained music from Bela Bartok's "Music for Strings, Percussion, and Celeste" and "Concerto for Orchestra." A VERY underrated show....one of my favorites from 2001. I can't find a video, but I highly recommend finding their Finals performance the 2001 BOA Houston Regional. Like someone said earlier, The Woodlands also did Bartok's "Concerto for Orchestra" in their 2006 "Hide and Seek" show. Another fantastic show. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9n0c1baYE9s...feature=related In drum corps, Star of Indiana did "Music for Strings, Percussion, and Celeste" in 1993. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxtHmX7sWoI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToT5MJY8F5w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_sax_agent Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 I didn't like the woodlands that year... Don't hate me for it please They did a good arrangement of the Fianle-Pesante/Presto ; Bartok music is hard to arrange. Star of Indiana did an ok job with the Allegro movement, but i liked the Allegro Molto Movement. I like marching bands that do diffcult music that few other people have played. I'm also waiting to hear Shostakovich's 11th symphony on the feild as well. The second or even fourth movement could go really well. But seriously. I hope I don't hear Turandot Scherzo again. I've heard that (or references to) 15,000 times. Same thing with the Fugue from Britten's Young Guide to the Orchestra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
