herbaflerb Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 You know we play you guys next Friday at The Palace, right? My daughter(s?) and I will be sitting on the home side for that one if you want to come sit with an avid band nerd family at halftime! I'll try to make it! It should be pretty fun LeanderMomma 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Band2013-2 Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 After seeing some bands this month I believe that the finals bands should be the same as last year. The fact is that this contest is super competitive, and how bands like Hendrickson, Cedar Ridge, Vista Ridge seem to be a sure bets means that making finals here in Austin will be a real challenge. Churchill might be the only band that's on the edge but even then Churchill has a strong reputation and it's never a good idea to count them out.

LeanderMomma Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 I think the John Williams Star Wars “Across the Stars” love theme music would make an incredibly beautiful ballad on the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hard Core Band Fan Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 I think the John Williams Star Wars “Across the Stars” love theme music would make an incredibly beautiful ballad on the field. So much of his music would, but he has always refused to allow his compositions to be licensed and played by marching bands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, as a marching band enthusiast, I would really love if he made his pieces accessible. On the other hand, if I were a composer I would be sad if my piece was heavily modified in a way that it no longer reflected the original intention of the composition.

LeanderMomma Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 Not quite always, BA has been allowed to. Well geez, ain't they special?!! I would also love to hear some of the Skyrim Elder Scrolls soundtrack music on the field. Gorgeous stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hard Core Band Fan Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 Not quite always, BA has been allowed to. Well, it could have been an individual piece that was licensed and was available. For the most part, he has refused. I have a friend and schoolmate that does composing and arranging for high school and corps and he has been shot down every time he has requested it. Part of the reason is that he doesn't want his music to be played poorly and uses a shotgun approach by not letting anyone play his stuff.

josephbandfan Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Actually it’s the influence of all 3 of my grown daughters. They’re all pretty serious gamers in their off time. And my son-in-law is a graphic artist at Bethesda. If you ever have played Fall Out 4, that’s a lot of his art you’re seeing in that game. I think the music in a lot of these games is just incredible. I even sent a suggestion once to the Leander directors that they do a whole show based on video games at some point. I didn’t get a response. That is so cool! Im trying to become an artist for games or animations atm. I also love the music in games and wish to see them in shows all the time.

He got his start in a small studio here in Austin and then he moved on to Warner Brothers and is now with Bethesda. Best of luck with your dreams! josephbandfan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope that forecast holds! Sounds perfect. It would be nice to see stadiums with retractable roofs or domed. But that will never happen. Let's hope the weather keeps looking good.
