I am a freshman at Tulare Union High School yeah this high school you guys r saying did poorly.To take offence of my school this was the first year of the band directer Mario Capote and to let u know this year our field show is "The Battle for Mount Olympus" I play bass clarinet & this year is by far the best this band has had since the old band directer retired.And we will fight till our name as the Tulare Union Red Skin Marching Band will always be the first thing u think of when u here Tulare
haha...my band did this show last year. it felt great to conduct it and everything. you did really good here but of course, there is always going to be problems. but i like how you can hear the other bands warming up lol
The xylophone part in A La Lune sounded like it missed a lot of notes. Your mallets NEVER seem to be together. Like, at all. Our mallet percussionists were: An eighth grader who had only had one year of experience playing percussion, and a bell player who was in tenth grade and HAD NEVER PLAYED THE INSTRUMENT BEFORE. They were together, and didn't miss notes, much contrary to yours. And could your drumline POSSIBLY be LOUDER? The mallets are supposed to be the biggest part of that drum break.
That was our third performance that day, so that's why the brass has tone issues. Also, that was our first year with a new director. Overall it was a lot of fun and I really liked playing the music. GO TU!!!
We are doing this show this year, the problem with our band is, we have 2 low brass players, tubas, I am A tenor sax player, we have over 15 clarinets, 2 mellophones, 3 trumpets, 3 alto sax, 1 tenor sax (me) 6 flutes, and one piccolo. Four Bass Drums, one quad, 3 snares, and a four person pit. Our Drill Has the drumline in front sometimes,not a good thing. But we have gotten all 1's so far, and we have another competition, today. In This Reve Rouge sounded wierd.
that was pretty good. my high school did this show my freshman year. you guys had some of the same problems we did. intonation within the saxes in the ballad couldve been a lot better.
trumpets match articulations better in the third movement. intonation in the saxes again in movement 3. very nice on the each note conducted part. dont spread though trumpets.
dont rush in urban. stay together pit. very nice snares. sax intonation again is an issue.
i never thought a band could sound and march this poorly. if they competed in my city, they'd be laughed out of the stadium. my high school is doing this show this year and this band just butchered it.
well there's a few inconsistencies with spacing and ui think low brass and woodwinds should of stood out more and i agree with littlemorenightmusic. could've done a little better on cover...is the beginning suppose to be mf?
This is the show we're doing this year!!! I really love the way our band is doing it because we're doing a ton of awesome visuals and fun stuff like that!!! I'm in colorguard and I'm probably going to get to do round offs!!!
i hated playin that show...wow we were super dirty...probably because we did a show before that one...o and the reason there is no musicality is because it wasnt writtin that way...(i was the center snare player here)
gah!, the articulations are way to long...percussion is "say so", and why arent they playing with any musicality? eh im kinda picky with these things...ok hopefully someone will agree with me bye!
Honestly... I though it was kinda sloppy, especially during the percussion solo in Urban. Maybe I'm influenced with having seen the score, but yeah...
our band did almost the same exact show (we had to modify it cause 1/2 the band quite!) Yours looks better than what I imagine ours looks and sounds like (I play flute)
ouch

That's a nasty habit of Marching band...Trumpet, being a Large and in Charge insterment, takes over the sound. Most marching bands are like this

I completely agree. I was also sort of disappointed with A La Lune. My favorite from when we played it 2 years ago.
But whoa you have a lot of color guard :o
