as a parent of band kids - watching a lot of competitions, the domed stadiums are just NOT the best place for acoustics...reverb can mess up the center of the beat as my son terms it... but outdoors, where acoustics are best, the weather and if natural grass is mud - that can ruin a show as well. I guess a bowl open-air stadium with turf is best. Then only rain or intense heat can kill a show. Remember State 2002? Awful weather, field (mud) rain, cold. Couldn't see my kids' hard work...

I love hearing the sound bounce back from the dome. Some bands will specifically design their music package to work well in a domed environment, and Lucas Oil Stadium in Indy was designed with acoustics in mind due to the fact that they have so many marching competitions there.

Can anyone tell me why the endings of king of kings and exodus are the same? Just curious

[guitarjoe101]

The last couple minutes were so awesome that they decided to do them 2 years in a row.

Amazing show, but those guard uniforms are awful.

Take into account this was in a dome that was air locked with terrible reverb, my marching band (University of Texas at Arlington) performed the finale performance there that year and you could hardly hear yourself on the field because of the wash of sound, so all accounted for, it was a very good performance, from now a national power house from texas.

What I'm more impressed with is that the guy who fell down knew exactly where to go from his stumble and made sure not to run into anyone, especially in drill that busy.

As for why they ended up 4th, that was just an extremely competitive year at the top. I remember the top 5 being within 1 point of each other, and the band that did win (Lawrence Central) didn't win any caption awards and only won by .05 (still love that show, though). Any of the top 5 could've been the champion that night.

I remember this show. It was my first year in DFW band world at Hebron and I saw LD Bell with this show and just went O_O

[buffingup]

I swear its the same announcer ever year at grand nationals hahah this is a great show

[woodwinds4ever]

Awesome show, but i feel like the uniforms blend into the field a little too much at times. I don't know maybe thats just me.

@Weezer87JL they don't get 4th from a falling fat kid...Way to know what you're talking about fucking idiot

[betaomega04]

@missahsee RCA dome is notorious for reverb....its a horrible place to perform...
