Jelonfish Posted August 4, 2018 Posted August 4, 2018 Someone said that they hope they don’t play the “Overdone O’Fortuna” but it seems like they played it great The way it was arranged is incredible as well as just there sound quality at this early in the season is crazy. As well as I think this is the first group as well that there whole music selection is carmina burana . All I can say is this is definitely the best haltom I’ve ever heard but we will see in November!!! Quote
Jelonfish Posted August 4, 2018 Posted August 4, 2018 I can say. I had a feeling they would be good because of what the did and accomplished last year but I had no clue they were gonna sound like that on just the first week . Like I was impressed Quote
LostChoirGuy Posted August 4, 2018 Posted August 4, 2018 What other movements are they doing from Carmina Burana? There is some great music there that I have never heard on the field. Quote

Jelonfish Posted August 4, 2018 Posted August 4, 2018 What other movements are they doing from Carmina Burana? There is some great music there that I have never heard on the field. I think they are doing movement 8,10 and I’m not sure about the others but I hope they do 14!! Quote
Jelonfish Posted August 4, 2018 Posted August 4, 2018 Wow I’m amazed are you going to be there next week too? No I will be 2 weeks from yesterday Quote
LostChoirGuy Posted August 4, 2018 Posted August 4, 2018 14 (in taberna quando sumus) would be awesome! That was an all-state choir piece for the men my freshman year of high school. There were SO MANY words to learn. But the instrumentation is pretty intense. I could see parts of it being adapted well for marching band. Quote

Jelonfish Posted August 5, 2018 Posted August 5, 2018 their 5th movement is really cool from what I hear I’m excited to see and hear . I have no clue what it is Quote
Jelonfish Posted August 5, 2018 Posted August 5, 2018 their 5th movement is really cool from what I hear Also I believe a year or 2 ago they got brand new mellow and this year they got brand next Sousaphones Quote
Crown2018 Posted August 6, 2018 Posted August 6, 2018 Also I believe a year or 2 ago they got brand new mellow and this year they got brand next Sousaphones They did get new Sousa’s this year and mellos in 2017 that’s why their mellos were so good Quote
Crown2018 Posted September 16, 2018 Posted September 16, 2018 has anyone seen or heard FloMo? They haven’t been that big of talk this year Quote
LeanderMomma Posted September 16, 2018 Posted September 16, 2018 has anyone seen or heard FloMo? They haven’t been that big of talk this year They are definitely laying low. I bet the place will be buzzing about them after DFW! Quote
Crown2018 Posted September 16, 2018 Posted September 16, 2018 They are definitely laying low. I bet the place will be buzzing about them after DFW! I just remember last year how much of a talk they were Quote
MadisonBandMan1 Posted September 16, 2018 Posted September 16, 2018 I just remember last year how much of a talk they were That was generally after their first comp and also because of the previous year’s success. Quote
Crown2018 Posted September 16, 2018 Posted September 16, 2018 That was generally after their first comp and also because of the previous year’s success. That is true 2016 left me speechless Quote
LostChoirGuy Posted September 16, 2018 Posted September 16, 2018 FloMo 2016 still leaves me speechless. Something about that show was perfect. Yeah I remember there was so much talk in the off-season last year about what they were going to do and how they would perform at GNats and stuff. This year, almost no mention of them. I think they will be back at the top of everyone's radars very soon. Quote

Crown2018 Posted September 16, 2018 Posted September 16, 2018 Yeah I really think it’s just because nobody has seen them yet. It’s the same thing with Hebron. True Quote
whitewing09 Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 There’s probably not to much because this year is just business as usual. FloMo and Hebron will do their thing and probably medal at UIL. Whereas, last year you had FloMo, a band that hadn’t been to nats since 2014 and that has improved leaps and bounds since then, head up after a season of total domination. Quote
JustAnOldBandMom Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 I don't know about Hebron and FloMo but I know that the Plano schools halftime performances have been cancelled the past two weekends due to weather. Haven't had the opportunity to see how their shows are looking yet! Quote

Haven't had the opportunity to see how their shows are looking yet! Yeah the weather is really a bummer this year. Even though the Austin, San Antonio, and Houston areas are getting more rain, some North Texas schools have yet to perform at a football game. I was at the Grand Prarie vs Keller football game and there were hardly any other audience members in the stands and we ended up getting dumped on by the rain for a few minutes. The band didn’t get to perform with the front ensemble and I talked to some parents after and it was the first time they actually got to perform the show. I really hope the weather doesn’t effect contests. Rudedog34 1 Quote
