I'm sure they would be close to the top. I also think that the show my daughter’s band, Reagan, put out this year was actually stronger than the one they took to nationals last year. Just a couple of weeks ago in the San Antonio regional, they came in 5th, just under Avon, and bested Marcus and Flower Mound. #timing (Although last year’s show did land them a surprise invitation to the Rose Bowl parade.) Unfortunately, they can only plan on going once every four years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a lot of fun watching them rehearse and perform. My daughter is in guard, so I usually had my attention in that direction, but I constantly found myself with the music playing in my head. This year’s writing was so complex and tasty— Mr. Shanefield really does some great work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m so old I was in the Norwin band in ‘82 in Jonhnson City, every one of these semi finalist bands in 2017 is great. No wonder the drum corps have become so amazing as well, though I know many on this site have an aversion to marching band. It’s all entertainment. I was there in '82 as well. Fun fact - Tom Blair (of DCI video fame) was on the percussion staff of my school! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Dixon Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 listening to this group of band kids watch BA during prelims is priceless - got to admire their unvarnished sense of excitement and the are pretty darn observant when it comes down to it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
