NickTheDrummer Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Well, I figured that since the Lone Star Classic topic went pretty well last year, it would be worth it to start a thread about Dripping Springs (which takes place on 9/20/14). First off, here's a link to the DSDC website: http://dsbands.org/dlcontest/index.html The judging panel looks pretty great- Alan Miller, Bill Bachman, and Manny Maldonado. Should be an interesting combination. So, let's discuss! Who's attending this year? Who's going to win? Who might sneak up and surprise some people? In a little while, I'll post some links to groups who have attended in the past or may be attending this year, as well as last year's results. It should give us something to base off of and liven up the discussion a bit! Also, if your group is planning on attending, I would love your honest opinion. *side note: Seguin will be attending this year for the first time ever! We're excited to get a chance to compete this early in the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickTheDrummer Posted August 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 To put it in perspective, here are last year's results: 5A: 1) Cedar Ridge- 93.33 (pit, cymbals, tenors) 2) Pflugerville- 91.83 (snares) 3) Lake Travis- 88.17 (basses) 4) Round Rock- 86.17 5) Westlake- 82.5 6) Hendrickson-78.0 7) Belton- 72.5 8) College Park- 71.67 9) Stony Point- 68.33 4A (I'm missing the scores- if anyone has them, feel free to comment): 1) Vandegrift (pit, snares, basses)* 2) McCallum (tenors) 3) Cedar Park (cymbals) 4) Vista Ridge 5) Georgetown 6) Eastview 7) Hutto 8) Rouse *=grand champion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickTheDrummer Posted August 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 It certainly should be fun! To start with, some links to the usual Leander ISD powerhouse bands: Vandegrift's opener (full band): Leander's opener (snare cam): Leander's opener (full band): Vista Ridge's opener (full band): Cedar Park's opener (full band, but on-field angle, so mostly pit): I will say that I'm impressed so far with Leander, although I'm not sure whether they're attending DS or not (it appears they didn't go last year?). I saw Vista Ridge in person Friday, and while their book was pretty dirty, they're playing strong and definitely have potential. Vandegrift and Cedar Park both look really strong again, as expected. EDIT: Sorry for the links instead of easily accessible videos, but I wanted to avoid a ridiculous amount of posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
