RR doesn't post video's until after the marching season. Though one can sneak out from time to time especially if it was posted by a non RR person.

Huh, kinda disappointed with the lack of Maroon. It was my favorite part of the old one haha

So I went to a "showcase" of the 4 Killeen bands last night. All did pretty good, so I'm excited to see them go at it at Midway

 

Killeen High- "The Fortune Teller"

 

Ellison- "Brave New World"

 

Harker Heights- "When Worlds Collide"

 

Shoemaker- "Through A Warped Lens"

I suspect the waist cinch will still be maroon. It's their school color. When these uniforms first came out in 2010. I remember one of the drawings did not show any maroon.

Anyone attending any Friday football games, oops, I mean the start of the marching band halftime shows this weekend?  Trying to decide if I can make the PESH vs LD Bell game to 
check out halftime myself.      

[abtwitch]

I probably won't make it to see a game until September 29th, it's Richland at Abilene and I'm super excited to see how both bands are doing at that point.

I just got home from the Leander vs Weiss football game. It was special because it was Weiss' first official varsity football game EVER. They only had Freshmen and Sophomores last year, which was their first year in existence. Since they now have Juniors, they are moving up to a smaller 5A classification. (I did not know that 5A now had a separate class for small and large schools). Leander is 6A, but we ain't so great at football, so I'm not surprised Weiss picked us for their inaugural varsity game opponent. Anyway, it was a beautiful evening at the Pfield in Pflugerville, and halftime was simply divine.

Must be nice. Our first preseason performance was a 2 1/2 hour drive to Waxahachie. Pulled out of the lot at 1:00 A.M. this morning to finaly find a pillow on a Thursday night. 10 hours round trip.

The life of a Texas highschool marching band...gotta love it!

"Welcome to marching band and competition season, Rookies"

Saw part of Hebron's show at Plano last nite.  A-MAZ-ING!  Did not catch the name of the show.

I wish I could go to other schools’ performances, but I am happy to be performing again at Porter vs CE King!

I saw that Plano was playing them!      Wish I could have made the game but I had to work too late yesterday. 

 

How was the  Plano Band?    Curious to see what their new uniforms look like.

     And on a Thursday night to boot.  Way to baptize those Freshmen parents with FIRE!

Leaving for SA in few minutes to catch the Def Leopard/Journey concert at AT&T Center to boot.

Gonna sleep all weekend. 3 day weekend couldn't have come at a better time.

can you at least come to the one of the neisd football games? EDIT: wait never mind and that sounded rude too my bad. I think there is only one neisd game tomorrow and that’s us. Don’t worry about it. I was thinking like Johnson or Reagan.

[hippkerr]

Plano band very upbeat in stands.  Both bands in shorts/band tees.   Plano performed spirit show at half time and none of contest show.

[TWHSParent]

Since I see it is halftime at the first football game (no, I didn't go. Recovering from a trip to Norway - in case you've never experienced it, jetlag is real!):

 

The Woodlands - "Synapse".

 

Title is a wee bit shorter than last year's...

I saw a video on the tube of Leander (from behind) last night, and holy cow here they come

Very solid so far! Love that power coming off the front stands!

My only complain is that the props kindof convolute some of the drill but they’ll get that cleaned up.
