I miss this kind of Duncanville. The marching style from 2008 and before was just awesome, it looked so good. Also miss the unis. And the kind of shows you guys did, I miss. Especially in 2006, that was a beast of a show. 2010 was very good, but I just felt it wasn't Duncanville anymore. Please go back!!
messed up on inner holes and i noticed tht people were out of step the color gaurd needs to get better on there timeing i noticed tht at one piont a few flags wern't put down at the same time while all the others were, good arcs, good sound, they could still do better on inner holes. im with the Mt. Whitney High School Pionner Pride Band in Visalia California and these are some comments i will make to fellow bands. thank you sincerly; Mt. whitney Pioneer Pride Band ♪♫♪♫

no offense, this show just isnt entertaining. If you dont know the songs, you can barely hint upon what the show might be hinting at. It's really unexciting. However, sound is amazing, and it is huge. But it just lacks "flair" and "excitement"
@killwill07 While I agree that one aspect of a marching band is entertainment it's not the ultimate goal. I think music education is. With that comes exposing students and others to a broad range of quality music, familiar or unfamiliar. I don't think the musical selections speak poorly on the directors but rather on the state of the audience of classical music. Copland's music deserves to be well known and common. If you only listen to things you know, then why ever turn on a radio?
@pedroesteban86 thats a good point. I'm all for diverse music, i dont listen to radio often at all. I would rather have classical music over a lot of the music nowadays, no doubt. But a flaw in the plan of "using marching band as a goal to spread music education" is that it's really hard to take interest in a show like this. I'm not as much speaking poorly about the directors, as much as their value in the entertainment side of marching band. Its a great achievement, but not that fun to watch.
Although I hate to admit, I can see why these guys could have beat us in '08. Brass sound quality is very symphonic and the chords are amazing. Can't wait to see what you guys are doing this year.
@Ghettodued i believe that your theme NEEDS to be known by the audience, it shouldnt be a guessing game...of course your band/close follower know...but you should be able to go across country, and have people realize what a cool show it is, because of the drill, music, which SHOULD relate to the theme
@Lchsmb2009 Unfortunately, props have completely taken out the "marching" out of Marching Band. Not only are used used for decor, but (I believe) they are used as a distraction. and this is STATE. not BOA..there are no general effect judging. so lets get it right..
Definitely did not deserve 6th place. That was from some college judge in the West Coast--can you imagine??? This band even had great dynamics thoughout the show, unlike the others! The organ-like, balanced chords were amazing in the dome! They marched pretty darn well too! They definitely had my first place vote. This is one of the best shows I have ever seen. Musically they were unmatched in the contest. The Barber was quite amazing and I was stunned at how well this show was executed
That deserves better than a 6th place vote. The judges complained about a trombone going "superman" during the show and trying to carry the entire section. now, i personally could sorta hear it, but it wasnt bad enough to give a 10th place music score.
When I was in High School we got yall 1 time in a contest due to rain, and I remember our director saying he wanted to march, but was out voted and that yall would have beat us. I have nothing but respect for the tradition and abiltiy of the performers that DHS puts out there every year, fantastic program, and fantastic people, best of luck and look forward to Area when I get to see yall perform again
wooww. the intro was like "this i believe" from the cadets show.IF you copied that idea (notice i said IF) then you guys are wannabes.I go to dulles high school where we aim for state but if we dont make it, we take pride in the fact we did our best.
@fartguy1172 I don't think that was the intention. Anyway, most things, 'new ideas', etc. that are done today have all been done before. Just look at some of the 'new' films that come out in theaters . I know for a fact that Duncanville takes pride in what they do. Whether or not a few judges rank them first or 6th is irrelevant. Kudos on taking the same view point.
Wow u guys r great but I had to cut it short cuz my ears couldn't stand it not because of the band but the alamodome man the aoustics r horrible! Uil should move the state competition elsewhere,
@3869javier I concur with that statement very much so. It's rather difficult staying in step when you hear a bass or snare drum reverberating throughout the dome it's just redundant and unnecessary
Um, I don't think so. Different arrangements for one and Friendswood's sound and timbre are not even close to Duncanville. F-wood did very well, but you can't compare what they did this year to D-ville 2008. Not even close. D-ville's show was quite amazing.
the piece by barber seemed to have better effect in Friendswoods show.... Duncanville sounds better ya... they got 100 more marching but there was no woodwind technique runs to complimate the Chordal progression......
I deffinately agree.... Our 2008 show is no doubt 10 times better than this years... But it's our music scores make up for.. Sound is AMAZING I wish I could say the same for our marching.. But it's a work in progress. I still love my band :) and I can't wait for state next year
just a wonderful brass quality and sonority. Clean snare also. I am not the biggest fan of narrated marching band shows... leave that for colorguard/winterguard/winterdrumline...
Those are some of the BEASTIEST intervals i've seen! Holy bajeezus that's good. The band ain't too bad either.. ;) Plus the lighting speed steps! O.o kudos to you guys
sweet baby jesus!! i don't know how you came in 6th!! the high brass is amazing!! kind of reminds me of the cavies. pure marching, great balance, NO PROPS!!! you don't need them if you have a great show.
we kicked ass last year at state. if it hadn't been for one judge giving us a ten (as compared to the other music judge who gave us a one. wtf?) we would have placed higher than sixth, but we know how well we did and thats what matters.
im now playin in this band this year. and its grown to 350 people. not all of them are on the field. its huge. but we are awesome. and last year was one of our bad years.

I thought this show didnt have any pizazz, or exciement to it, it didnt seem to go together when transitioning from the opener, to the ballad, and the ballad to the closer.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
oh god... more vocals... jeesh, that is so lame... i hate domes... the acoustics are entirely wrong for these types of groups, percussion sounds like a series of echos, especially when they play as dirty as this
yea well tell it to my brother.... If he went down anymore then it would just be completely black. at the Alamo Dome from the second level where he was videoing there is a huge obstruction right in the center.
our band isn't rich we can't afford fancy uniforms. our tubas are older than our school founded in 1957 according to my dad whos the band booster president and trying to get them replaced.
our colorguard had no teacher and we drove there in regular school buses from corpus christi. apperently for ALL the out of town games we'll be in school buses
Man, one thing I wish they would've done is made just one form small...There's nothing in the world to compare to a huge band fit within about 40 yards...One step spacing gets incredibly effective once you reach about 70 members, so I would love to see 300 hundred at 1 step...
well you're in luck because in 2001 we did just that. probably less than 1 step. everyone just crammed into the middle in a huge circle. search for "2001 - Duncanville High School Marching Band"
I am from Cedar Park High School, and I would just like to say I am amazed out how this show got 6th...It blows my mind. There is no doubt that you should have been in the top three. You have far more talent than coppell, and you were better than us for sure. I am sorry that you got jacked, this is an amazing show.
Bands would be so happy to place 6th out of hundreds and all you're doing is complaining!! Putting down other bands like Coppell isn't going to change the outcome of the competition. We tried our hardest and 6th place is what we got. SUCK IT UP and just try harder next time...
Hey it's your opinion who you think was better, but you have no right to say who or more importantly who DIDN'T deserve to be in certain spots. We at Coppell worked just as hard as anyone else who made it to state finals. It's just immature to put down an entire program like that. I liked both Duncanville and Cedar Park's shows, but it's not what what we think the placement should be that matters.
The top had two layers, the top layer being blue on one side and yellow on the other. when troi, the guard captain, had to change it, she pulled down the top layer, revealing the yellow side of the top layer and the yellow on the bottom layer. I hope at least some of that made sense
thanks guys 4 ur Comments well I march at Dville and I'm a sophomore, my Fav part by far is at 7:10 to the end of the show best ever. and to Marine Buglar this was a pretty hard show so don't get me started ok? I can probably speak for every last one of us and say that we put our time sweat and heart into that show. so yeah
I think Duncanville looks great ,amazing ....french Hord looks and sound amazing..the judges sucks.3 time chap only band in Texas to hold that title.Duncanville dont do props, dont need them to make up band members
yea the narration could could have been dropped. The band is already amazing. The music narrated itself. It's a big difference oh hearing 200+ people rather than 43 like my band lol.
I agree. I'm not a fan of the narration but it seems to be the growing trend now days. The music was still really amazing though and speaks so much more than any narration ever could.
I go to desoto high school which isnt that far from duncanville and all I have to say is screww desoto its duncanville all the way when it comes to band!!! Oh btw Im on desoto color guard so I think I know.
yeah your going to have to go ahead and point out these highsteppers to me because I sure couldn't see them on the video, or on the field, or at any football games we performed at, or during summer and night band practices.
Duncanville used to incorporate high stepping. I remember we did it for effect on a company front in the 2001 Copland show. Still, you're right I didn't see any high stepping in this vid.
yeah my past 4 years and my brothers 4 years before mine they haven't had any, I remember seeing pictures of them in our bandhall but that was from like the '86 champs.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Very clean show. Very well executed. I think what seperated yall from the the top bands was the difficulty level. I mean, yes, the judging was messed up this year, but LDB and Marcus' shows were way harder than this.
thank you thebandmusic. And fryguy wow you obviously have no idea what you are talking about. You have no respect for what all these bands work for. Every contest is different, even between prelims and finals (obviously). But it's never a contest between 2 bands. Like i think thbandmusic said earlier there are the long time big players but Marcus came out of nowhere in 04 or 06. Duncanville has been there for 30 YEARS STRAIGHT in FINALS! and has made it to state years before that!
I miss this kind of Duncanville. The marching style from 2008 and before was just awesome, it looked so good. Also miss the unis. And the kind of shows you guys did, I miss. Especially in 2006, that was a beast of a show. 2010 was very good, but I just felt it wasn't Duncanville anymore. Please go back!!

Man, one thing I wish they would've done is made just one form small...There's nothing in the world to compare to a huge band fit within about 40 yards...One step spacing gets incredibly effective once you reach about 70 members, so I would love to see 300 hundred at 1 step...
tartanmusician 2 years ago
well you're in luck because in 2001 we did just that. probably less than 1 step. everyone just crammed into the middle in a huge circle. search for "2001 - Duncanville High School Marching Band"

I am from Cedar Park High School, and I would just like to say I am amazed out how this show got 6th...It blows my mind. There is no doubt that you should have been in the top three. You have far more talent than coppell, and you were better than us for sure. I am sorry that you got jacked, this is an amazing show.

Darneil White!
SHUT UP!!!!
Bands would be so happy to place 6th out of hundreds and all you're doing is complaining!! Putting down other bands like Coppell isn't going to change the outcome of the competition. We tried our hardest and 6th place is what we got. SUCK IT UP and just try harder next time...

Hey it's your opinion who you think was better, but you have no right to say who or more importantly who DIDN'T deserve to be in certain spots. We at Coppell worked just as hard as anyone else who made it to state finals. It's just immature to put down an entire program like that. I liked both Duncanville and Cedar Park's shows, but it's not what what we think the placement should be that matters.

The top had two layers, the top layer being blue on one side and yellow on the other. when troi, the guard captain, had to change it, she pulled down the top layer, revealing the yellow side of the top layer and the yellow on the bottom layer. I hope at least some of that made sense

thanks guys 4 ur Comments well I march at Dville and I'm a sophomore, my Fav part by far is at 7:10 to the end of the show best ever. and to Marine Buglar this was a pretty hard show so don't get me started ok? I can probably speak for every last one of us and say that we put our time sweat and heart into that show. so yeah

I think Duncanville looks great ,amazing ....french Hord looks and sound amazing..the judges sucks.3 time chap only band in Texas to hold that title.Duncanville dont do props, dont need them to make up band members

no interesting drill moves. good sound though.

yea the narration could could have been dropped. The band is already amazing. The music narrated itself. It's a big difference oh hearing 200+ people rather than 43 like my band lol.
FSUfanOFtheBAND 3 years ago 3
I don't think that the show could have possibly made any sense without the narration. It definitely held the theme together.
1288358 3 years ago 3
I agree. I'm not a fan of the narration but it seems to be the growing trend now days. The music was still really amazing though and speaks so much more than any narration ever could.

yeah your going to have to go ahead and point out these highsteppers to me because I sure couldn't see them on the video, or on the field, or at any football games we performed at, or during summer and night band practices.
knightofcky09 2 years ago
Duncanville used to incorporate high stepping. I remember we did it for effect on a company front in the 2001 Copland show. Still, you're right I didn't see any high stepping in this vid.
pedroesteban86 2 years ago
yeah my past 4 years and my brothers 4 years before mine they haven't had any, I remember seeing pictures of them in our bandhall but that was from like the '86 champs.

I love love love the music.
It's fantastic and well played.
But, I'm not a big fan of the marching.
It's not what I'm used too, but I still enjoyed the show nonetheless.

What do you mean? Like sheet music? What instrument? Specifics?
pedroesteban86 3 years ago
i mean the show from 07
bigmoe93 3 years ago
at 4:35 are the trumpets holding out a high D? or is the tuning just that locked in?
pedroesteban86 3 years ago
Both. There are a few holding it and the strength of the tuning lets the harmonic shine through.

D's are not fun in field shows. It was the last not of ours this year. I can hit one... just not after running around and playing for 8 minutes. :P

Very clean show. Very well executed. I think what seperated yall from the the top bands was the difficulty level. I mean, yes, the judging was messed up this year, but LDB and Marcus' shows were way harder than this.

totally disagree, their shows werent much marching at all

I am so so sorry.
I have not been on my account for several weeks but apparently a friend of mine was using my account and talking trash to many other school bands.
I apologize deeply.

so know what your talking about or don't say anything at all.
omfgimaredhead 3 years ago 2
thank you thebandmusic. And fryguy wow you obviously have no idea what you are talking about. You have no respect for what all these bands work for. Every contest is different, even between prelims and finals (obviously). But it's never a contest between 2 bands. Like i think thbandmusic said earlier there are the long time big players but Marcus came out of nowhere in 04 or 06. Duncanville has been there for 30 YEARS STRAIGHT in FINALS! and has made it to state years before that!
omfgimaredhead 3 years ago 4
okay lets face it DHS OWNS all the other bands the judges need to get their ears check! they r the best
