That is absolutely incredible! The Commandant's Own is a FANTASTIC group!

So I’m guessing Bell and Trinity will not be performing in exhibition?

Saw another video of Keller where they play through the ballad. It’s gorgeous, but my biggest complaint is that they don’t feature their woodwinds enough through the show. Based on the ballad source material, I’m surprised they didn’t do anything with the flute solo. It’s basically perfect marching band ballad material. In the video they didn’t have a transition put in place before the ballad and I think the flute solo would make a great ballad transition/outro. I also think it would be cool to put an effect on the trombone duet to match the ominous pre-show recording. Idk, this is just me being really nit-picky

This one is getting close and I can’t wait. From what I have seen and been hearing the top 3 spots are gonna be a battle. I have seen Prosper and Keller and I’m hearing Marcus has a solid show this year. Waxahachie is the unknown here but they are always solid. This one is shaping up to be a good one for early in the year. Good luck to all the bands entered!

Let the season begin!!!!
