The show was really good and fun. But the Rise and Fall of Rome my senior year beats the hell out of it. I cant wait to see what Mr. Bowen does his 2nd year!
and yes we know a pit is a must, y do u think we get doct points? I still consider us a great bannd for hanging in with you guys that have 100 majorettes and a good pit. \
Wow steve, I am pretty sure picking on band directors is going to get your point across. I agree jordan, it is pointless to argue. And Steve we dont play our show that much worse, like they said we have a great brass/woodwind ansamble. So what we model our style after WVU, what is wrong with that? I personally dont care anymore about the argueing, we come to entertain and please the crowd not to impress other bands.
Guys, seriously? Get over it. You're just making yourselves look that much worse by bitching at each other. Accept the fact that both bands and directors have different styles and preferences. This rivalry has been going on for a very long time, and has it ever helped anything? No. It's just made people who could actually be friends hate each other.
That's cute. That means you just play your show that much worse. You got beat by two whole points. It's essentially the same show from last year, it still has no pit (don't care what you say, it's a must) you have minimal guard (but if WVU can do it...) Maybe for a good laugh ole Victor will get mad and quit TOB again....? lol.
I wasn;t even there to be with my band last night so about the bitching I had no say in it...and just to be honest I heard the tapes of the judges because my band director let me and my friends listen to it, you know what they said " This is a great show, clean it up and it is the best one on the field, you have an awesome brass woodwind ansamble, just focus on cleaning" Sounds like we do have the best show
We can debate about how the you think the guidelines suck, or whatever, but you can't knowing go against what is musical by COMPETITION standards (not just crowd pleasing) and still bitch about losing... which you did... to Elkins... AGAIN... last night... no excuses, just results. and you come up quite short in that department.
As for class, We loved thespitting on our buses in Connellsville you showed real class there. Back to not going by Chapter 8 rules, we are sorry we do not have a pit. The purpose of a "marching band" does not imply that of sitting on the sidelines making little noices with things you can't march with.. Kinda defys the purpose of a marching band.. mmmm
@achamp2293 I realize that PB doesn't follow all Chapter 8 rules. My boyfriend was in your band, along with a lot of other close friends of mine. If I had not had to move, I would have been in it. So don't mistake what I'm saying for insulting you. I'm not. I like PB's band, and I was always one to stand up for them when the few that do get too enthusiastic about competitiveness would try to start stuff...
@achamp2293 But like I said to the Elkins guy, it doesn't matter who does what. Yeah the spitting thing was awful, but what you don't realize was the action of ONE person. Everybody else was just as pissed as you guys were that that happened. It made us look horrible because that is not how the vast majority of us acted. And I realize that you don't go by Chapter 8 rules, that's fine - it's one more part of your style. So are the fewer majorettes and no pit - ...
@achamp2293 Newsflash to whoever said that about them, that is something that has been that way for a long time, and they still kicked our asses for a long time. Hating on it will not change that. The only thing anyone from either band can do is work their hardest to put their best show on that field when it comes time to compete. Saying crap doesn't change a thing.
PB is their own band and as for your information does not go by Chapter 8 rules. We are sorry we don't have 20 morons swinging batons and flags, at least the ones we do have can actually do things. As for our dancing haha what did you all do in 2009, a robot dance so IDK why you are bagging on that, its funny how you throw in a dance right after PB gets one. mmm.. It is also sad that you need a prop in the background to distract the judges and the crowd from that monstrocity field show
What "Mr C" thinks about what I say or do means absolutely nothing to me. I have passion for the band because of the loyalty I have to the members of it.... which he has proven NOT to have. He'll get drug around by his balls the rest of his life. As PB, if your best excuse is that the judges just don't appreciate you...pshh. Mkay. You can continue to pretend that what you do is "musical" and that anybody at would ever wanna be in your over-amplified, dancing, drum break, cookie cutter...ensemble
@StEvEnzzztheman Notice that I said Mr. Bowen as well. What about him? He's been a great leader for our band since he came, and there's talk that he's going to be even better than Caplinger. After seeing the performance at the Elkins show last weekend, I believe it. And you know, if you want to talk about having passion for the band, think about what the majority of your fellow band members probably think seeing this...
@StEvEnzzztheman I'm sure they're not happy with the comments of others, but the reality of it is that most of them if they said anything, would say it in a better way than you have. Ragging on each other is not the way to get anything done. Both bands are really good. They're also really different, and neither style is better than the other. Concentrate on bettering yourself so that you can be even more competitive, instead of trying to drag the other down.
EHS is a terrible band. They have been jealous of PB since Crapslinger took the dictatorship. We may be inbred, but at least we know how to spell the word. Elkins only wishes they could do the stuff we do. Who cares what a small group of fatties from Chapter 8 says about us, we have the vast majority of crowd support. Elkins SUCK ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Lordopie007 You know, I don't know who you are or why you feel the need to spread crap about Elkins...how good a band actually is changes from year to year, even competition to competition. Let it play out on the field and leave the competition there. No one needs anymore drama than there already is. All you are doing is making it worse. Show some class.
elkins sucks? hey fuck head!!!! we WON chapters that year!! dont know if you knew that. i can only assume that you're a wanna be, asswhipe from BU that thinks youre band is worth shit or a fuckin inbread from PB (who we beat the last 2 years). Better luck next year ass-rags!!
@StEvEnzzztheman You are not making Elkins' image look any better either. I can't even imagine what Mr. C or Joe would say if they saw this. There's something to be said for standing up for your band, but going on to insult the person who started it to begin with just sinks you to their level of immaturity. Grow up.
The show was really good and fun. But the Rise and Fall of Rome my senior year beats the hell out of it. I cant wait to see what Mr. Bowen does his 2nd year!
