Dallas Hobbs Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 Prosper, I LOVE the contrast demonstrated in the opening moment between the high and low brass. Those quarter note stabs(Are they marked marcato?) in the low brass are POTENT. Very exposed music and visual material for the band. Super easy to tell if any one person performs out of sync with the group but they handled it greatly! Good job woodwinds! I think their woodwinds were stronger individually than they were as a section. Their features were sometimes not in synch with one another but you can still tell this was a great section nonetheless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vidal28 Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 Why is every band in this area ridiculous and broken in some way???🤯🤯😦😦 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallas Hobbs Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 McKinney Boyd was LOUD!! And impressed me with their clean, accurate intervals in the visual program. Dave609 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallas Hobbs Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 (edited) WHEW! Flomo does so well at playing with just the right amount of balance and blend even while on the move. All technical passages are CRYSTAL clear. FANTASTIC job maintaining the integrity of the ensemble’s sound during long phrases. I love the complex, super exposed drill formations they attempt and execute with such PRECISION and the guard was great in their characters and performance skills Edited October 30, 2022 by Dallas Hobbs FloMoParent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am incredibly proud of how much we've grown from last year and I cannot wait to see what they do in the coming years! They'll get there! Was sad to hear of the issues today but I know they are really committed to building up the program and you could see that this year. I hope they can eventually build the band size up again because I think that will help too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallas Hobbs Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 What makes Hebron Hebron is the intensity every..single..note is given! No lulls in the intensity whatsoever! The technical mastery was out of this world! Dynamic contrast was otherworldly! They can crescendo form piano to fortissimo with exceptional ease!! Also Who knew there exists a quadruple forte? Hebron did! I love the woodwinds in the ballad! They project so well under the soloists and then take over with fantastic tuning in the upper woodwinds.

Dallas Hobbs Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 Wylie East, Loved that double-tounging in the brass section! This is a group that does a good job of playing within themselves and doing very well at it! Strong, well blended sounds all the time from everyone. And great mastery of their visual fundamentals. mteggatz and Dave609 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallas Hobbs Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 Marcus performs with what I call subtle intensity. They play rhythms that sound simple with exceptionally great tuning, balance and control, all while marching or doing choreography. That double-tonguing feature with the high brass has cleaned up nicely over time. I love how well the low brass juxtaposes them with their (deceptively) simple accompaniment. those woodwind runs were pristine! The tuning and timing of that section in the show has come along nicely. I love how at the throughout the ballad there wasn’t a single odd sound in the ensemble. Pristine and clear all throughout. They built up to the ballad’’s climax perfectly! and they march both simple and complex formations with fantastically strong fundamentals! They make everything look easy when it isn’t!

Dallas Hobbs Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 Rock Hill is such a clean band! The first thing that stood out to me was their visual proficiency with fast-paced drill moves. Not at all easy to do. And they play with such confident, mature sounds! You can’t even tell how young the school is! I love how well the woodwinds play those grace notes! Every little note is crystal clear and perfectly timed!
