I like it alot (: We are doing this show for this the next school year. I'm pretty excited, but nervous. I like the music alot. & this is from Texas right? Whoa! It sounds amazing. The trumpet solos are really good.
BRAVO BRAVO OH MY FREAKING GOD YOU GUYS NAILED IT! One of key poulan very difficult compositions which no band dares to take on....you guys sure did surprised me,lol.
I remember playing this show my junior year. I played 2nd bass. We won best drumline at all the competitions we went to. I think you should have played the bass run as written, like in this video at 7:23...just search RGC Locomotion
I loved watching this! My band, Irmo High School from SC performed this show in 2003-2004 season. It brought back great memories. I play sax, but we also used trumpet for the mvt. 2 solo, Michael Martin. What a beast jazz player.. We did very well with this show taking it to the tropicana field BOA placing 3rd in semi and 6th in finals. Then took SC 4A lower state with it and placing 3rd in SC 4A Championships. Director that year was Duane Minnick
Very impressive I've seen this show done many times and everyone always adds a little something different. As a sax player I like the Tenor Sax Solo but it sounded really nice coming from trumpets too. Great Job and Great sound.
i did that show in '06 and won states and got 2nd all states! watch our vertion look up "mainland locomotion" but it was an old begining season video so its not as good as it became! and yet we still out play a big band like this we only had 45 people in band and guard! haha ;]
This recording does not do justice to the power of sound they had that year. Rowlett hosted my high school that year, and I was blown away by them! We ended up doing this show two years later. It put a really good impression on my directors. :0) Thanks for posting
I went to Franklin High School in El Paso, Texas. I was a sophomore that year. The head director of Rowlett taught there in 1993 or so. Haha, well at NTBC we got like 19th BUT West Texas band programs are far less superior than East Texas so it was sweet we didn't come in last haha. If you search for epbands on youtube you can see El Paso bands :) and our rendition of Locomotion.
I can say that y'all went faster than we did which made it sound very different. I thought it was pretty good, but who am I to know good from bad. I'm always on the field...heh
I like your version better. :0) Anyway, I think he knows...Mr. Beach (my old band director) would call him for advice with the show, musically. Just ask about Franklin.
nobody does this show better than rowlett did in 2003. thank God that was the last key poulan show they did, his stuff all sounds the same... this btw was from the finals of ntbc(the first year they had it)... jon and jeff did a bad ass job with that duet in the mvt.2 (it sounds nice slow and w/ trumpets)... ... this isnt a traditional "rowlett show" but its still very nice...
