Wow. This tempo is way rushed. I'm drum major this year for my band, and I conduct The Opener and Maria/Cool (first two songs) and the tempo is NEVER that fast. Even when we listen to recordings of the publishing company that made it, never that fast. Maybe the Jet song would be, but no. And the band could sound better overall for being such a small size. :\ I give you props, though! You sound full.
Band parents really need to...well..shut their traps in all honesty. I'm in my junior year of high school and I've been in the band and marching band since freshman year and we appreciate competitions for the sheer fact that people be quiet. No offence thats just rude of the parents. They of all people should know better. But other then that absolutely amazing. My band's actually doing this show this year. We're trying to write in a fight scene(:
@woodstock767 Afterwards when walking off the field it's perfectly fine, but during the performance no. I'd rather it be silence because 1. the judges need to be able to hear the band without screaming and 2. its a distraction to the band. The parents should know to respect their own kids.
this was my show this year...it was fun to learn...we were good too...but our majorettes SUCKED! they got us our 2 overall which we were all mad about...but we got over it...
Just for the record, the yelling and screaming is from the band staff on top of the press box cheering for our kids. Gotta train the parents to applaud at the right time.
Not bad, but you guard seemed a little off. I'm in a band too, and I just can't elp but pick at every little thing that catches my eye; but you guys did a great job.
Hey my band played this too! In the same year and we made straight ones. It's also small. If you want to see the video, type in "South Houston" and find the one that says half-time show/drillteam.
Haha. Ours consists of 1 pic, 1 flute, 2 clarinets, 1 alto tener barri saxes, 1 mellophone, 4 trumpets, 1 barritone, 2 trombones, 1 snare, 1 quints, 2 bass drums, and a bass guitar. And we have 7 color guard.
Ah, this arrangement brings back many memories. I tried out for Drum Major at my school and this was the song we had to conduct to. I didn't make it, but that's okay.
I have to say I was suprised the sound this band produced compare to the size... But, there were issues. A lot of intonation issues, balance, and off step everyonce in a while.
the judges are in the booth with the covered glass :3
