LeanderMomma Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 Am i being too picky? I didn’t enjoy that as much as most of their shows in the past. I still love the band i just don’t enjoy their show too much this year. Just personal preference no doubt. I like it so much better than some they've done, but know I'm in the minority. I never understood the little house on the prairie show a few years back tho it was highly praised by many and quite successful! Again, just personal preference.

Hard Core Band Fan Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 Carmel KILLED IT. Pack it up early - it’s theirs to lose. Also think Marcus can dark horse for a medal. I don't know about that. Sitting in the stadium, I heard/saw quite a few issues with Carmel's show today. I thought Marcus and Broken Arrow had better runs today, which could happen again.

dukeoftrumpet Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 I was very surprised by Marcus. Could we see them do what Carmel did last year and be a surprise winner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard Core Band Fan Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 Any thoughts about Winston Churchill? I think they had their best run so far. They have come a long way since last week. Good job! Friendly note to Churchill parents: Cowbells at a marching band competition is not a good idea, especially during your band's performance. You were the only band parents that had cowbells all day. I was sitting around band directors that made comments that reinforce this. Please help yourself and leave them in the hotel going forward.

I never understood the little house on the prairie show a few years back tho it was highly praised by many and quite successful! Again, just personal preference. As different as the 2 shows are, Round Rock's "little house on the prairie show" from 2015, A Letter to the World, is based on Martha Graham's (American modern dancer and choreographer) dance a Letter to the World and this year's show, Errand into the Maze is based on another of Graham's dances of the same name!

jmj Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 WOWWWWW! Prosper was incredible! They cannot have had much time to practice since Wednesday, but that seemed on a new level. I love everything about that show. Oboe solo in the Barber was just beautiful! bandmom2389 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't know about Acts of Light being a Martha Graham dance too since my son did not join the band until 2012. But we did attend the Festival of Bands in 2011 so the Dragon Band's performance of Acts of Light was the first time I saw the band perform.

LeanderMomma Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 I got the $150/year option because it has both DCI and WGI along with it. I'm thinking of doing that next Spring before DCI rolls around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
