I think it’s really funny how every Sumner video that is posted up Andy comments on. You're 20 something and still fighting with high school kids. Please grow up like the rest of us have and quit putting your stupid comments on the videos, because no one cares.
Screw Bonney Lake, because i'm pretty sure that we did pretty good last saturday.
Sure we may not have "Won" but Mr Carls Policy is to be a crowd pleaser, if we dont exactly "Please" the judges that to damn bad because he wont change it. Which is good.
Exactly why didn't we place? I still remember that feeling we had when we finished with the STANDING OVATION. Those judges were cracked out on something.
@unjusdepommes This band has never done well visually, and no wonder. there's about 20 or more different interpretations of what the marching technique is. some have toes high, some scuff their feet, and some come down on their heels in the backwards. Some are keeping their feet low to the ground, and others are high-stepping. Clarity is the keyword, and there is none in this performance. And Musically, the music was simply too hard. Everything was very muddy. Especially the runs.
@unjusdepommes Firstly, I never said I was offended. People were wondering why they placed so low, and I answered the question quite honestly. I quit because I once asked a mellophone player why he was holding his horn down by his side instead of up and playing like he should have been. His response: "Because I'm lazy." So, I said sayonara and headed on up the hill where people had more of a drive to get better and improve. And improve, they did. Don't get me wrong, though. I hold nothing (cont)
@unjusdepommes against the students of the SHS band. I hold more against the ones that instruct them for not being able to light a fire under those kids' butts and inspiring them to want to get better. I always felt like the main concern down there was winning awards instead of getting better so that they CAN win those awards. I wont lie, I really wanted Bonney Lake to beat Sumner. I really hope its enough to get Mr. Carl to realize that he needs change things for the sake of his students.

Seems pretty easy to me. The crowd is not the judge. If you aren't better than the bands that DO place, then you won't.
Simple.
...and trust me, this was NOT special.

@Andophonic andy, don't be offended because sumner brass hated you and basically rid you of them, and you had to go to bonney lake.
