radchad Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 Am I the only one who wasnt very fond of Hebrons show? They had somewhat ok music/visual but not that great IMO. didnt get the theme with the eyes either. Best sounding bands where Marcus Berkner and Cedar Park. Visual Marcus and CP. Legacy was by far a crowd favorite. Kinda made me like a school girl again. I loved how the trumpets used the mutes during that one section. That was the coolest sound Ive ever heard. I would like to see more from this band and it will not be easy, but they can push and survive. They have excellent potential. But each band has to show great attention to detail from music, to even making the white "tents" in a straight line lol I agree with the Hebron statement. I think part of it is the show lacks that luster the past two years have had.. so we as the audience were somewhat spoiled and now don't have that.

treyj Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 Lol. The eyes were creepy.Especially when they closed and they would open slowly and look around. yeah! they moved more and pre lims though so i was kinda idssapointed when they didnt move as much in finals hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radchad Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 yeah! they moved more and pre lims though so i was kinda idssapointed when they didnt move as much in finals hahaha I just missed them in prelims. I worked until 3 and then had trouble finding parking. Haha. I wonder why that is? Maybe in Prelims the judges said something about it. I managed to get to see Colleyville, though. Their show was VERY intruiging. I think when they get it finished it's going to be a very good show. It was weird not having them in finals.

And (this is just a rumor I heard) I heard that it may have had something to do with how short Colleyville's show was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radchad Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 I've been refreshing like a mad man. . . While you're here, I have a question. Does having an unfinished show affect placement or score in comparrison to a show that is finished? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenon Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 While you're here, I have a question.Does having an unfinished show affect placement or score in comparrison to a show that is finished? It certainly plays a part, but Colleyville was not the only band to have an incomplete show. Marcus and Connally only made it through their ballads. There are penalties for having too short of a show, but BOA decided not to enforce those penalties for the early contests due to the natural disasters this year like Hurricane Ike.

titancoaster Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 lol, our director posted both the spreadsheets on our whiteboard, so I have already seen them. I know 7-11th place in prelims were very tight, and we Connally were only a little over a point more than collyville (i believe), and we were 7th and they were 11th. Finals however, only one point seperated us, Coppell, and Mansfield. (thats all I really remember, sry was just trying to see how we fit in the picture) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenon Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 Some Highlights: Prelims: - Nobody received any penalties. - Colleyville Heritage was 0.25 out of Finals. - Only 0.50 separated 9th (Aledo), 10th (Legacy), and 11th (Colleyville Heritage). - All top 10 Prelims GE scores made it into finals except Colleyville Heritage. Aledo (13th in GE) used their Visual score (1.05 ahead of Colleyville) to vault them into Finals.

takigan Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 Wow....Marcus destroyed Cedar Park in prelims (4.3 point gap). It was a much closer fight in finals though. I also noticed we haven't had any bands get a division II rating and still make finals in Texas since the La Joya and Houston Regionals in 2005. Legacy, Aledo, Connally and Martin all got div IIs and still made finals this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radchad Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 It certainly plays a part, but Colleyville was not the only band to have an incomplete show. Marcus and Connally only made it through their ballads. There are penalties for having too short of a show, but BOA decided not to enforce those penalties for the early contests due to the natural disasters this year like Hurricane Ike. Oh I see. Well the reason I asked is because while Marcus didn't have the full show, it was still pretty lengthy. Colleyville's seemed very short so I was curious as to if that affected if they made it in or not. Lol, thanks. That sheds a huge light on everything for me.

Xenon Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 What is Colleyville Heritage's show this year? Here is what I wrote on the TxBLive Blog from BOA Arlington: Colleyville Heritage - Arrhythmia. This is a really cool show overall, but it is both extremely dirty and incomplete. They have a preshow entrance involving heartbeats, backfield brass chords, and the band beating in the form and correct timing of 4 chambers of the heart. Ensemble drill is really messy but would probably be pretty effective if it were cleaned up. I really like the light trumpet play that is constantly being interrupted by the hard heartbeat of lowbrass open hits. The guard even has arteries for equipment that they stick their arms in and link together to form a whole vein system. They probably only played 4:00 of their show. I wonder what is with all the Heart shows this year (Colleyville, Mansfield, Martin). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceeblue2 Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 I would prefer to get my penalties for marching a shorter incomplete show that was clean than march the whole complete show that was dirty. Especially this early in the season. Just my opinion.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what is with all the Heart shows this year (Colleyville, Mansfield, Martin). I was wondering the same thing. I think it is pure coincidence.. The same thing happens at WGI each year. You have like a billion guards using the same song or with the same/similar concept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
