DrumManTx Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Not 100% sure, i believe that it is a mixture of more then one high school Yeah, that's a school district in north east San Antonio. Has schools like Claudia Taylor Johnson, Ronald Reagan, James Madison, Winston Churchill, ect. Not sure which schools it is a mixture of.

Musicman1084 Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Saw scores from Monmouth today. Les Eclipses.WTH?!?! I'm also puzzled by Les Eclipses this year. Early in the year they were fairly clean, but it looks like they didn't improve much up through finals. It's a #### shame because they were easily one of my favorite shows this year. Started watching last year when I was starting to get burned out on marching band/drum corps. Tried indoor percussion a few times.......I just can't seem to get into it which is weird considering I'm a percussionist. There's something about the guard shows that absolutely enamors me, the amount of emotional content and beautiful movement is just entrancing. Of what I've seen this year in Scholastic World, find Flanagan incredibly gorgeous, and Tarpon is very impressive as well. Love the whole understand "New York New York" thing throughout. Glad to see someone similar on here! I did participate in indoor percussion (both as a member and instructor for many years) so I still enjoy it, but there's something about indoor guard that has gotten me completely hooked over the years. I know absolutely nothing about it from a technical perspective, but I know I like watching it (sort of how I can barely boil water but am a total foodie). After watching a lot of finals week, I'm really impressed with the creativity and talent this year. Many of my favorites didn't even make finals. Les Eclipses, Byrnes HS, Trumbull HS, Jenison HS - all terrific shows that are missing out on finals. Blessed Sac, Shenendehowa, Flanagan and Emanon (underrated, IMO) were also some personal favorite finalists 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumManTx Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Wow, Pride topped Vanguard in finals. Tarpon with a pretty commanding win. Congrats to everyone! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c.l. Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 (edited) Wasn't going to post again, but WGI Zone is out and some people haven't had a chance to see shows. I can't control if they get taken down. Of course, I am not the author (just in case there is a legal thing). Avon, they had a .10 penalty. Great performance, but a few major mistakes. 2nd Mechanicsburg, I understand they got the fan favorite again. I don't like these melodramatic shows of hair flinging and angst so this might be a case of "I don't identify with that" but they do spin and catch well. 7th Stoneman Douglas, strong members it looks like but not finals perf. Show probably was on downside comparison to last year's, b/c work looks good. 15th Mt. Juliet (SA)-19th Smithfield-Selma-not finals floor view (SA)-2nd Choctaw (SO)-10th ATX (IA)-18th Edited April 12, 2016 by c.l. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast30YearFan Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Thanks for the links...Just watched the Avon finals performance. How did they move from 5th at semi's to 2nd at finals with 4-5 major weapon drops ? Did Carmel and Flanagan fall apart ? I was there for Semi's, loved all of it. I am curious how this happens ?

Those others had drops too BUT unless things become a hot mess it's not about a drop or 2..that stopped a long time ago top 3 for sure set new standards Edited April 14, 2016 by GUARDLING 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumManTx Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 REALLY like Carmel's show, conceptually that's pretty awesome. Something like that with a drum corps spread over a 100 yards would be pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flanagan in my opinion should have gotten second and Carmel probably would have won if it were'int for that finals run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
