Which High School Band do you like and why?

[Yamba]

If you're talking to me, then wow, you got the wrong impression! Band is really important to me. In fact, marching season really aggravates me because it kind of does get in the way of band. It worsens my playing and takes away time that I could have to practice. I just think that the whole point of marching season, of the halftime show and the uniforms and all that, is to support the team. I don't think that marching band competitions and all that would've started and/or have been so popular if we didn't have to come and support/entertain at games.

 

I mean, really, if you didn't have to play and march at football games, do you really think you'd be doing marching shows? I know our band wouldn't! A lot of money, time, and effort goes into marching season, and it's basically all about football.

 

 

I just don't think it's right for a band to build up a show and then skip the game due to a marching competition because without the game of football, there really wouldn't even be really competitive marching competitions. Marching season IS basically all about the football.

As for marching bands compared to hip-hop bands, there's nothing like a good, clean formation on the field. Hip-Hop bands are like MTV- they're not about music, they're about image.

 

The music is by far more difficult and much more tasteful. Hip-Hop needs to stay on the radio where it belongs and let marching music take the field.

Since when is band not a sport?? Try carrying a 40 pound set of drums for hours while marching. To me that takes a lot more skill than standing around watching the same 11 ball hogs practice everyday. People need to try band out before they run their mouth about how it is not a sport!! And for your information I could care less about watching the games, I go to watch the bands and thats it. But anyway Walker Valley, Cleveland and Father Ryan all have very respectable bands!!

Memphis Fairley's band is amazing. They played at the Henry County game. And yes, they played hip-hop. After the game they came on the field to play, and most of the fans stepped right back into the stadium to watch them.

I really like Pearl Cohn, Stratford and Maplewood's bands because every year one of these teams come here to Clarsville and almost shut down every band in Clarksville not sayin anything bad about the other schools bands but thats just how the cookie crumbles!

OMG!!! Where is all my Tyner peoples at?!?!?! Theres nothin bad about tyner. Nobody notices that we have come up since the years. We arent really a specific type of band, we are more of a hybrid mix of a couple different types. We have like the most talent in Chattanooga. We just have quite a few behavior probs. But we are there to play for everyone, even ourselves. We were supposed to go to a competition but we didnt get our uniforms in time, so we didnt go. But who ever it was that said Tyner aint ready.... Excuse me did you see the howard vs tyner game... we demolished there drumline in the first quarter. I had friends go to there side and they heard their band saying that we need to stop playing because we were making them look bad... Brainard isnt all that, they steal everything they play and do from TSU. How original... Anyways I think there should be more people for us... But I thought Walker Valley was pretty sweet, their thriller got everyone going. But we had all of them surrounding the drumline during 3rd quarter screaming for us . They absolutely loved us. Soddy Daisy, I saw them in a competition once, they are like the closest thing to DCI that you could get from a high school band. Awesome.The only thing that makes Ooltewah so great is there budget.... They are basically loaded. But yeah thats my 2 cents... Im out.
