I can't wait for this year's show, seeing as how I'm actually going to be in it. I went and saw this, I was blown away and it makes me all the more excited to be able to be a part of this!

[Tazzliker]

Like no matter how many times i here this music it never gets old. I'm proud of what our band did and I can't wait to hear wat the new show is for this year

[melheislerdrums]

[tanner103193]

hey if u guys wanna see our show, go to beethoven's masterworks-republic high school..its not as good as ozarko, and its durrin football game so ppl wont stop talking, but its pretty good

[sarahcinematic]

and at like 8 minutes with the lines!? holy balls. beautiful.

[sarahcinematic]

hey guys, i'm from rolla & we didn't get to see your show, considering we were walking the two miles back to our buses =] anyway, we were all like "HOLY CRAP" when we heard 'with a score of 92' and now i can see why. you guys are majorly kick. a and i wish i could have seen your show close up, because this is incredible. good job, seriously, this is amaze.

[ImJessicaHowdy]

i agree, republic is getting a lot better. your show was pretty dang awesome. Both of our bands work very very hard to put on amazing shows. But idk if you'll ever be able to win the dinner bell award lol. thats sorta our thing lol.

[EvilShark]

hey guys i wanna say good job to everybody else that performed at that competition. there were some really good shows! but im super excited that we took it for the third year in a row! GO TUBAS!!!

[tomscaters]

You want to see a show that is worth a 92 look up Moanalua Menehune's 2005 pirates show.

[jeffodist]

Sorry, Tanner, just had to remove your original comment for the language. The point of it I think was just that Willard might should have not scored a 92 above Nixa, Republic, Fayetteville, Fox, etc after scoring a 61 in Broken Arrow. If you want to repost this point, please do, just leave out the language. Thanks!

[tanner103193]

lol its cool

[tanner103193]

yea me and brian dont rlly get along that much but he is right about republic, we are getting a lot better

[Blume43]

Tanner stop trying to be cool you stupid freshman. Your making Republic look bad by being a smart ass.

[Blume43]

Hey great job Willard, well from what I was able to see(I got stuck at the end of the drum major line) There is a reason that you are the best in SW MO, but watch out,the Tiger Pride Band of Republic is catching up.

[tanner103193]

trombone

[ellogovna157]

cool. my brother plays euphonium, but he used to play trombone. i'm in the drum line- i play the second bass. :)

[tanner103193]

plus we never got to hear u guys from the front, posted comment before i listined to it so srry for it :/

[ellogovna157]

what do you play?

[tomscaters]

tanner you need to learn to spell...

[tanner103193]

lol well if u guys rlly want to know im from the republic band, you guys did good and like i said kinda felt gey to have that 13 point difference and we did amazimg also

[ellogovna157]

lol well its okay. thanks. i don't know that i saw you guys, but i would like to. i'm sure you guys did awesome since you got second! and you didn't really get to see us from the front... and i'm pretty sure it sounds better from up there. :)

[ImJessicaHowdy]

tanner103193 i'm sure your band is awesome. i personally would hate to up against us. we dont usually like to share trophies at ozarko. we're great at putting on a show but we sorta suck at sharing trophies....i would really like to see your show. i'm trying 2b nice. i really do wanna comment on your band. i'm sure its great, 87pgs is a lot

[tanner103193]

no we move constantly through we only stop like twice. and that choreography shit is stuff i wish our band would do, idk why the band directors didnt let us this year cuz it was in the original plans to put some in

[ImJessicaHowdy]

well i dont think pages has anything to do with it. cuz i mean, you could be marking time for half of that..see what i'm sayin. 87 pages doesn't mean your running your butt off the whole time.

[Blume43]

I Know that Tanner's a retard but we're bookin it 87% of the show.

[tanner103193]

in six mins 45 secs

[ellogovna157]

And how many of those are you going 6 to 5, or doing horn moves, or some crazy choreography?!

[tanner103193]

we had 87 pages of show

[ellogovna157]

WHERE ARE YOU FROM?!

[ImJessicaHowdy]

no =D i did not realize that. but thank you for drawing it to my attention tomscanters. it will take it into great account! but you realize it still doesn't draw from the fact that we won.....idk what to tell ya kid. we can't change whats already happened. if complaining makes you feels better than you just keed on truckin =D

[tanner103193]

idk where im from

[ellogovna157]

You don't know where you're from?

[tomscaters]

you do realize Republic is marching their drill twice as fast as you guys are with twice the amount of drill? They have 86 pages of drill in 6 and a half minutes.

[ellogovna157]

We have 76 pages in 9 or 10 minutes. Not to be disrespectful to your band program or anything, but how hard is your music? Could you do what we are doing in this year's show?

[stencilneck]

Why are you guessing hillcrest??

[ImJessicaHowdy]

i'm guessing he's from hilcrest. but thats just a blind guess.

[stencilneck]

tanner103193, Where are you from??

Because i don't think you know anything about

Willard. We work just as hard as anyone else and I think we definitely deserved to win that competition. I think a 13 point difference shows that we deserved to win.

[ImJessicaHowdy]

a 92 is off, we did amazing that day, but were not a 92 and our band director doesn't think so either, hes very proud of we accomplished but were still not a 92 and he made that clear. what band are you from, i might have seen your show =D

[tanner103193]

hey you guys did get good and i not jealous, just kinda thought the 92 was a lil off, and i wanted to be an asshole :D

[ellogovna157]

IDK that the 92 was off compared to other bands, but maybe a little high just because we aren't perfect. Where are you from?

[ImJessicaHowdy]

hmmm tanner103193. sounds like some1's a little jealous. how cute!!! but no seriously, we do work hard whether you believe it or not. I do not believe we are anywhere close to a 92, we might be a 92 compared to some of the other bands there. and idk why your sayin we did so bad at broken arrow, nixa didn't even get into finnals and we did, that is a very very large accomplisment in my book. The ppl in OK live, sleep, breath and die band. We however do not, i mean dont get me wrong, we work our

[ellogovna157]

Yeah, Jessica, I agre. (Why wouldn't I? ha.)

But anyways, no, we don't deserve a 92, but against some of the other bands, we do. We've worked our butts off since June on this show and I think we've gotten it pretty good. Like Church says, its not about trophies- its knowing that once you get done performing, you know that was the best you've performed yet. :)

[tanner103193]

and by the way i marched in the comp

[ellogovna157]

Where are you from?

[ellogovna157]

By the way, we did amazing. :)

[cjkj1989]

I love this show. I was there and the kids did such a great job. Alot of hard work and it paid off. Way to bring it willard.
