Yea we do keep things pretty strict. But on a Friday night you can hear the vets hittin them notes if you really pay attention but we dont have any good Friday nights posted. About being robotic, we are The Magnificent Marching Machine. We have to live up to that theme.

lilchris227, regardless of what people say, it is all love between us and Smith. We respect your tradition. We just have different styles, yet we are both showbands. Smith was the only one for like forever. Now there are two in town. There is nothing wrong with that.

[lilchris227]

I dont know... it bothers me to hear people say our trumpets dont take thier notes up! We have a good clean trumpet section with good range! 1st trumpets are not supposed to outnumber the 2nds and 3rds, thats what we were told!

[khafre06]

Actually, your first trumpet part was really a 2nd trumpet part in most band, and your 3rd trumpet part really should have been given to middle brass, so in essence you are leaving an entire voice void because of your arranging. I spoke with Slocumb about it, and he admitted that the arraignments have been dumbed down, or rather are less complicated. He told me that he was told to do it that way. So it is not so much about balance of sound as much as it is simplified arraignments.

i dont know about other bands but if it is a simplified version its a damn good one plus who can argue with the execution. We hear the song pretty good and its clean.

[khafre06]

I never said that it was not good or clean. I just said that it was simple. Look at the very first post that I wrote about this performance. It was very good and very clean, but also very simple. Just like the flag girls routine, it was good, clean, and very very simple. Do you ever watch diving or gymnastics? Athletes get points based on how clean the execution was, and on the level of difficulty. All I am saying is that the level of difficulty is low. Your own asst. director told me.

Dang Smith Killed It At The End Lol

[lilchris227]

MMM and MSPH both blew the hell out of the arrangements played, but Westover took the sectionals hands down.... except the drumline. I cant call it on the Tuba section though..... that was a tough battle

[lilchris227]

Sorry everybody.... BUT----> this was a jamboree, meaning absolutely NO JUDGES! This was a crowd pleasing event.... We came full force, but when it came down to the sectionals..... NEED I SAY MORE? LoL..... ok, for the slow ppl, MSPH came out on top!

[ch5289]

That wasn't a reply for you but was directed at the Chalmerk person. The WC was Westside Cheryl. Sorry about the confusion.

[lilchris227]

WC as in West Charlotte.....?

[ch5289]

Some may take it as you are adding to the rivalry because you felt you had to say something to WC...
