LD Bell Band 2011 "The Circle's Edge"

LD Bell Band's Community Performance, November 1st, 2011.

The theme is "The Circle's Edge", and features lots of exposed drill, difficult music, and beautiful work by the guard. This was a complex and riveting show! The band placed first out of 59 bands at the BOA Super Regionals at the Alamodome in San Antonio. Their finals score was 94.2, including Outstanding Music and Visual Performance. Congratulations to all the students on an amazing year!

Note: We only had one community performance so I couldn't cut away to close-ups. They continued to tweak and fine-tune the show after this, so the competition performance is slightly different.

Tuba player from Mansfield here, I really loved your show, this was my first year in marching band and you guys and James Bowie really impressed me... Is the opening set the circles of hell? If so, cool, that was the opening set to our show, too. :)

@AnimeonTuba I think it's all open to interpretation, but that could work! Bowie looked great, too! Loved that frosty feeling :)

You know it's an L.D. Bell show when most of the comments are asking what it's about.

probably the best high school marching band show that i've ever seen.

Alumni talking....how I miss marching band! Its totally different being on the field with the L.D. Bell band than actually watching it from the audience. Both are totally awesome feelings but truthfully I loved the marching.
