Haha, thanks for the comment, but this was like 4 years ago, things have change a lot, haha, DB isn't as good anymore, but they still have that golden sound (somewhat), and good for you, you go to Ayala, I wished I went there, you guys go to BOA one of the best experiences ever!

[WWEJR88Fag]

100 you still go to DB or are you graduating? Senior year next for me.

[1OOYears]

Um, I finished a long time ago, I just know a lot because I have friends and family still in band

[BroroKemble]

I thought band was cut from diamond bar high school?

[1OOYears]

Um no, they have marching band, but because of bugget cuts the rehearsals are during school and they are only doing parade comp, they do not have field comp

[purpledinkles]

Haha.. wow... I was so out of tune, I could shoot myself! (trumpet soloist... and not proud).

[azyndragon89]

At least with Mr. Lorenzen, the band still had a marching band that competed =/.

[kelvinchen24]

lol i remember this i was in the video hahahaha

[azyndragon89]

@azyndragon89 Better clarify marching band to just the field show part so we don't go into parade again.

[azyndragon89]

@kacc53 I have no problems with Mr. A as I do respect your dad since he did teach me for several years and I do stand behind what he's doing with the program, just not in this one aspect.

[azyndragon89]

@kacc53 The only reason why I would bother making a comment like that is because I heard people talking about how they hated Mr. L and then I saw a bunch of comments talking about your dad talking down about the program before he got there. I know all about how displeased people were about having to do marching band with Mr. L, like your brother and his football buddies. But do you think stopping marching band altogether was the best decision?

[azyndragon89]

@kacc53 Lol come on dude, I like you as a person because I do know who you are and you know who I am but you have to admit that being the director's son you have to be at least SLIGHTLY biased. Just like how I would be biased to say idk my parent's restaurant if they did own one. I'm not blaming you in the slightest way, I did have Mr.A teach me for a long time so I know what he can do. Your dad knows how to pull out the magic when he needs to, I'll give him that.I hope people do like the change

[kacc53]

@azyndragon89 And thanks for questioning my credibility because you were smart enough to figure out who I was.

[kacc53]

@azyndragon89 As a matter of fact I have had people tell me they don't like the change, but as a general rule (from hearing what other people are told) it's been a good response. Some of the best players were driven away from the band program because they were forced to do marching band, I know a few personally. And we never even placed well when Mr. Lorenzen was there (and trust me, you don't want to get me started on him.)

[azyndragon89]

@kacc53 Haha of course you're a graduate. The only one who hasn't graduated yet in your family is McKenna lol. There's no doubt in my mind that Mr. A knows music, that was never the question. I highly doubt any of them would actually say something to your face since you are the director's son. Of course it's going to be well received from your view but the field show was part of the legacy. It felt like he threw away the work we put into the band. When half the WS ditches band something is wrong

[kacc53]

@azyndragon89 As a matter of fact I am a graduate, and was there when the change happened. The general reaction was actually very pleased about the switch. Obviously there was a couple people who didn't like it, but as a general rule it was well-received. And you HAVE to listen to the Wind Ensemble and Orchestra. It will blow your mind, it is so amazing.

[azyndragon89]

@azyndragon89 To avoid confusion, by participate I meant they were all working on the same goal and weren't sorted by their skill level for the field show besides the year prior to this one. I know there are varsity and junior varsity parade which is how it's always been but the interaction with the section isn't the same when you're separated like that. I am glad about the progress your dad has been making though, to pull second at Arcadia is awesome. I was just stating how much I missed field
