Popular Post Bandwoww Posted May 8, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 I quite like the darker, edgier themes that a lot of bands are doing this year. I’m particularly excited for Keller and Timber Creek as well as Leander. LeanderMomma, Trumpetman7 and josephbandfan 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctex1994 Posted May 10, 2019 Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 Westlake (TX) - "Opportunity Knocks" "Traveler"- David Maslanka "Enjoy the Silence" - Depeche Mode/Eric Whitacre "Break on Through" - The Doors Original Music By Carol Britten Chambers Typically known for classical and conservative shows - I am glad to see Westlake branching out into more modern show design. They have been a great band for a long time now - but show design was holding them back. Last year, "Myspherical" was a great step in that direction and it looks like they will continue with "Opportunity Knocks." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was definitely one of the best Westlake shows that there has been in awhile! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeanderMomma Posted May 10, 2019 Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 Also I'm definitely noticing a lot more bands using Maslanka music on the field now. I guess Avon started the trend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaultLineBlues Posted May 10, 2019 Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 Also I'm definitely noticing a lot more bands using Maslanka music on the field now. I guess Avon started the trend! Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that he was very much against his music being changed/adapted for the field, and in general, but he made rare exceptions, i.e. Bixby 2016 & Avon 2017. But unfortunately, he recently passed, meaning his music is easier to get the rights to for the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like it might be a very similar show to “Knock” from Spirit this summer, which makes me very excited to see what they bring! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But unfortunately, he recently passed, meaning his music is easier to get the rights to for the field. That’s what I heard as well. He has a lot of music that could easily fit into a marching show imo, but I’m still surprised that multiple bands are using his music since he was against his music being used outdoors during his lifetime.

J-Mike16 Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 Lumberton - "Beautiful" A Thousand Years - Christina Perri The Marriage of Figaro, Overture - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Shallow (From A Star is Born) - Lady Gaga Young and Beautiful - Lana Del Rey The show is about how everyone is beautiful whether they are young or older. The show is about the band members beauty. I would also like to point out that I will be assisting drill for this show with my head director. I have been wanting to do this for years and cant wait to showcase my skill in drill design to everyone out there! josephbandfan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FaultLineBlues Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 Not entirely sure on specifics, but Round Rock's production is called A Simple Gesture. Saw there might be something to do with mimes? Honestly seems like it could be a ton of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
