how come you didnt put sasche on the area finals we added soo much stuff to the show u should by the dvd and put our show on youtube that would be awsome

[somerandombystander]

I'm getting there, but maybe you should at the very least throw in some periods or something. I almost didn't get what you were saying.

[gmartin69]

wow that's a pretty good and clean high school drum line. and about ihaveprettyeyes comment your fuckin stupid. the color guard doesn't have to be on the field the whole time. look at pit there not technically on the field....dumbass

[somerandombystander]

Wow. Talk about rude AND with horrible grammar. Yeah the colorguard can be off of the field, so can the band, but there is absolutely no reason to call someone a dumbass or stupid. Pit is off of the field for a reason: they would just get in the way, nor can they move easily. Please take your immature comments away from here.

[gmartin69]

??????? don't know what your problem is by cracking down on me. ihaveprettyeyes makes a stupid and rude comment about Sachse not making state and I'm here to correct them, i don't need you explaining stuff i already know to me -.-...

[somerandombystander]

Why? Because so far you are the only one cussing someone out for asking questions. ihaveprettyeyes did in no way make a rude comment, she was just unsure of the rules and was inquiring hence the questions. Oh and everyone is entitled to their own opinion. She doesn't think Sachse will go to state, so what? Why don't you prove ihaveprettyeyes wrong and GO to state!

[trialsbyfire7]

Well, like we say, we're not all about going to state. We want to entertain and as our band director always says "create something that wasn't there before". We want to be different. Plenty of bands play and march traditionally. We try to take what other bands do and flip it upside down lol. Either you like it or you don't. We don't mind which really.

But good luck at state. You guys have an amazing band and I know you'll do well.

[sachsetenor2011]

Trialsbyfire couldn't have said it better. From nightmares to airplanes, every year we throw out something no one could have seen coming. Our goal is to perform and entertain for eight minutes and we choose to go about this by performing a show completely different than a traditional marching band show. We may not have made state but I loved performing and practicing our show and can't wait to hear what our director has for us to perform next year.

[TxRaider13]

this show was stupid, can't believe I stayed to watch this show..I live down the street from the stadium

[pebblesoffury09]

Just noticed ya'll are playing blue shades. :)

[dlw2008]

even if i yall would have been torn up yall would have done something great for gisd and plus i went to state this year and no one had a original or unique show like yall did.

[rjh622]

Yea it can be. Like telling somebody something thats and implying they dont know what their talking about if they disagree. It's music dude, its not some sort of track meet where judging groups is an exact science.

And they're kids at Sachse that show up before school and stay after school to make this stuff work. And for a lot of them, its a dream to be recognized as equal to those same groups you mentioned. But you fail to recognize any of that.

[chocotastic]

I didn't know being honest meant being a prick.

[rjh622]

your kinda a prick dude

[Malankool]

i thought this show was kool, but all the talking took away from the music, alittle bit of talking is ok...but yall talked almost threw the whole thing, its very destracting from the music, and isnt music the reason that there is marching bands?

[jazzband90]

you'll took pieces from the past three show of you'll and combined them to make this show

[jazzband90]

None of the marching shows are normal each of them are unique in there own way

[jazzband90]

really you think this show should have gone to state the state judge would have torn us up

[chocotastic]

Think about the top 5 in Sachse's area: Duncanville, Coppell, Berkner, Rowlett, and then Sachse.

Do you REALLY think Sachse should have made it into the top three in that Area?

[trialsbyfire7]

Were wired differently. If you were taught by our director you would think differently. There is a difference. We like to be creative and out there. And yes, it does reflect the opinion of the band...seeing as we still have almost 200 kids in our band...somebody has to be different and show the audience that not every band is the same. Our band thinks in a totally different way than any other band, and that's what we love about it.

[baritone131415]

Im with Nadra here, I think it would be boring to not have a chance to go to the State Marching band contest.

[dlw2008]

yea an alumni from GISD, i really proud of what the band has done in the last 4 years...

[Imamembernow1]

I am in the Sachse band as well, and yes, that does reflect the general opinion of the band. We love it!

[dlw2008]

i really enjoy all of SHS shows, i really think that they should have gone to state...

[Nadraj6537]

Trails, Does anybody get annoyed that yall dont march a more tradional show or does your opinion about solely making the show enjoyable to watch and unique reflect the general opinion of the band? I'm just asking cuz if our directors made us do that type of show half of our band would quit...

[goodgod12321]

ty rowlett person yall had a very clean show also

[Nadraj6537]

Im from Coppell and I didnt really like the show. Your technique is good and the music sounds fine but I find the voice-overs to be distracting from the overall preformance. You guys have a fine band program but marching a show with a cheesy theme isnt going to get you anywhere. Look at our show, Duncanville's, and Berkner's, like anonymous said earlier, there all very traditional and very musical. For a UIL competition I just don't think this is the way to go.
