Tanks4me05 Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 Baldwinsville Marching Band is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better. For our winter drumline, we had a show themed to a day at the emergency room. It was awesome! (I'm in the Marching Band, and I play Sousaphone, so I'm not in Drumline, but I saw a "pseudo preformance" during our March combined concert.) Anyway, nice TR. But seriously, Baldwinsville is better.
Speeddeamon128 Posted May 5, 2008 Author Posted May 5, 2008 What place did you guys get in ACCs? Our Marching Band got 4th with a 94 and drumline 1st this weekend with a 97.0!
Tanks4me05 Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 ^Actually, we didn't go. We are in Central NY, and I don't think we did anything out of state. If we did, it definitely wasn't Wildwood, because I would have heard about it. But still, Baldwinsville is better , and in most of the competitions we were in, we placed 1st. EDIT: Holy crap that's a lot of food.
cfc Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 This takes me back to my old high-school band days--marching in the All-Western Band Review at Long Beach, hanging out at the Long Beach Pike. The Pike? It's a wonder I'm still alive to tell the tale.
NoahTheBoa Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 That's a really clean snareline. Wish I could hear the basses better though...
mcjaco Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 Very cool. Back in my day my high school used to have the premiere high school indoor percussion competition. Trust me, I'm dating myself. High schools from across the country would compete, as well as, some major universities like Texas, Ohio State, and Oklahoma. My senior year we played Live and Let Die, Black Dog, a REM song (it's name eludes me), and Baba O'Riley. I'll have to find that video tape.
