marching wise :honestly riverdales band isnt that bad. also how would you really know how good blackmans band is considering they DONT COMPETE?? honetly from a marchers frame of mind and knowledge riverdales band is better that blackmans. blackman's shows are crowd pleasers. easy loud music. anyone with their numbers can do it. riverdale has shows that they want to take to a competition. they see half time performances as a practice run for competitions, as does any abnd that competes.
concert wise: blackman has a great concert band as does riverdale. thursday and friday i was actyally participating in all-couny band and there were numerous kids from both schools showing that they are both full of great musicians.
as for this topic i wonder why most local people see things in this light. they see blackman as awesome and riverdale as not so awesome. they are both concerned with differn things.
