this is very very creative i love how the title of the show goes with the music pieces titles! in my opinion much better than Broken Arrows show "ZO" (same theme) it was fun to walk by yall at boa houston finals (Churchill marcher)

@NeTxGrl obviously you were too blinded by your own tears to witness the rest of the crowd.

@ERCCRE123 Well, drumline doesn't have the same sheet music that everyone else has, so I can't vouch for the the music has printed on it, the pre-show and part 1 specifically has been called "a dream" as long as i can remember (which goes back to the end of last school year when montoya first sent us the midi's). on top of that, the "brain" is part 2 with the block and the short ride rip off.

@notanormalasn Well, if you look at the sheet music, the pre-show and part 1 are printed on the same page, with "a brain" printed at the top. I listened to it again and after performing it at every football game and competition, this is the first time i've ever heard the pre-show get called that.

I heard their colorguard was so good that everyone in the stands cried. True story.
