How the hell? This show has 10x better music, sets, and a great story for the show. And they got 2nd... lol should be:

1st: Air Academy

2nd: Leagacy

3rd: Loveland

Legacy was a 5A school I thought. Theirs was good though. I hate how there are so many props anymore. It's become a de facto requirement to be considered for winning. I HATED Loveland's red carpet thing.

[zackatackayak]

umm...air academy didnt have props last year and they won

[quicksilver382]

I was just referring to the number of props there were. At least 80% of the bands had props. I'm complaining about the trend more than anything. Call me a purist.

i definitely like Air academy's show better but loveland did do a great job. and i havent seen legacy's yet...

[betterthaneddie]

i didn't like having state outside =/

[kaseyWtrumpet]

Hmm...same as every other band out there, but we're not ignorant enough to start fights on youtube. = P

Good show!! i enjoyed meeting many members of your band at d20 showcase and watching your show!

Hey guys, intresting comment about our drum majors. We had a lot of props last year like our columns we would tip over and throw red and orange ribbons to make it look like a volcano erupting, but the judges said it was over-done. So this year we lowered it down to only a tarp that we didn't interact with like our columns last year. Props don't get your very much points. Actuly marching and playing well does. Also, I have no idea who the judges are and I'm pretty sure they didn't go to Loveland.

You know, i personally think this whole thing is getting a bit too personal. Air Academy is not about winning, we're about giving the performance of our lives and showing the crowd what we worked for. And i'm sure it's the same way for loveland. And it's been way too long for us to still be debating whose show was the best...

3) Loveland's performance was far from terrible or stupid based upon the judges criteria. They were looking for complexity, intricacy, depth, intrigue, and evocation of emotions both visually and musically.

Their theme was PathOs: musically and visually they conveyed the physical path, the mental path, the emotional path and the spiritual path.(Not a 'red carpet')

It's kind of like comparing a pop artist band to a progressive rock artist band...

2) Also, at the CBA website you can obtain , read and study the Marching Rulebook. As well as study the Judges Adjudication Sheets under Director's Resources to gain a better understanding of how Music, Music Ensemble, Music GE, Music Individual, Visual, Visual Ensemble, Visual GE, and Visual Individual are judged.
