I marching HS band in Southern California from 76 - 80 and then my sisters marched from 81 - 87. We did field show competitions and band review in the fall and then concert festivals in the spring while drill team and flags did their own indoor competitions. Not saying you're wrong, but we never knew anything about spring competitions. Where were they? I think it may have been mainly a North and Central California thing, but I know the Maytime Band Review in San Diego was a big thing for many years. I'm pretty sure there were a couple of others, but I'd have to check with others who were marching/directing back in the 60s/70s. When I marched in the early 90s in NorCal there were spring competitions in Alameda, Fairfield, Stockton, Tracy, Ukiah, Vallejo and even then Spring band reviews were "dying out."

I do remember Maytime Band Review. We never did it, but I do recall it being a major event. Thanks for the memory! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranintothedoor Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Update from Virginia... All sports (Fall, Winter, Spring) will be moved to second semester. 2 months each. Also, trying to create meaningful content for our all-virtual opening. Now I'm teaching 5th grade general music, no beginning band, 7-12 band, HS guitar, HS contemporary music... Needless to say, I will try and do something for marching band starting around February... mostly pep band and playing fun patriotic stuff for "half time" of whatever games at which I can get the kids to perform. We'll see how it goes. 🙂 Prayers would be appreciated! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
