so. What are all those bands out there working on?

 

Any cool concepts?

 

I thought Oakland's "Rhapsody in Blue" and Lavergne's "Edward Scissorhands" shows were a couple of the better last fall.

 

I enjoyed the classic rock shows, but so many bands have already done those.

Blackman is especially good at classic rock songs but Brighton from West TN did Kashmir and Black Dog (Led Zep), E.L.P., Yes, etc. - it was kick @55!!!

 

Concept shows fare better at competitions if I recall correctly.

I'm not in the band, just a local person. (actually NEVER did march - played rock, blues, jazz on guitar and bass for many years)

 

Oakland's marching show was so good last year in my opinion, but what happened to that jazz band set in the town square at Murf. that day? It was on ch. 10 on cable the other day along with all the other h.s. jazz bands and it sounded as if they (OHS jazz band) hadn't rehearsed much or something?? Is jazz band something they don't put much emphasis on? Not trying to diss any musicians ever - just sounded like they needed to rehearse more and get the guitar players to tune their instruments.

Again, not a put down - just constructive advice from a former musician.

 

Looking forward to seeing another great halftime show from your band. :)

Ghost Train is an Awesome piece. We played it at govoners Schools this last year (2006). I hope That i get to her you guys this year. Too bad my band isn't going back to travelers rest to competethis year.

At Cloudland we're doing a Mountain Music theme. It includes:

She'll Be Comin' Round the Mountain

Hee Haw Theme/Gloom, Despair

Pfft, You Were Gone

Hee Haw Theme Again

Foggy Mountain Break Down

Mountain Music Medley

 

It's a pretty good show, not as good as last years "A Western Montague", but it is still a good entertaining show. We'll be at Greenville's Band Classic this upcoming Saturday. Hope to see you there!

I like WB's band performance this year...it's a salute to America and at one point of the show, the flag corps re-enacts the raising of the flag at Iwo Jima...really cool IMO especially with the movie coming out this year...

 

OR also has a great show...

 

Thanks! We appreciate the kudos. I'll be sure to pass this along to the rest of the band.

 

My favorite part of this year's show is our Taps charts. We kneel, and do a salute along with other respects.

    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say .. 
    • I have a sophomore that can do 177 (preferred) or 192. Sent you an email.
    • speaking of board members how can a man get arrested 12 days ago and still be head coaching a team in TC school system? looks like your right about the tc board members. I bet it would be different if they had a kid on the team
