Show Bands (battle of the bands)

[mnkyman]

what do yall think of show bands (band that attend battle of the bands)

 

personally i think they are awesome for jazzing crowds up and such..

 

 

i dont think their shows are all that intricet(sp?) though..and thier emphasis on music (and being able to play it well) is very weak i think

Where was it? And when was it?

I think he was trying to say....

Bands that go to Battle of the Bands, instead of, bands that went to Battle of the Bands.

 

Anyways....

The best show band I've seen....Willowridge HS. What seperates them from other show bands is that they actually emphasize music and marching. Not saying that most show bands don't, but the ones that I have seen were just horrendous.

 

It was great to see Willowridge perform in exhibition at this year's BOA Houston Regional. They LIT up the crowd like crazy. And, the other cool part....they received comments from the BOA judging panel. It was cool to see the field judges getting into the show. Awesome.

I've always wanted to see bands like that. I didnt even know there was a "battle of the bands"

I didn't even know that show bands did BOA. That's awesome...I think I would have enjoyed that. I've always wanted to see a show band that still has good marching and music capabilities.

They don't actually compete in the event...just perform in exhibition. But yeah, it's awesome.

 

Show bands have also performed in exhibition at Grand Nationals as well. Southwest Dekalb HS of Georgia (the band that was in 'Drumline') in 2002 and Stephenson HS also of Georgia in 2005.
