eraser18 Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 My brother's marching band got Gold at Regionals! This means they're going on to Semi-State- the band's first time out of regionals in Decades!Woo-hoo! Hey, good for them! All the dorks in my school are depressed because we have no marching band anymore, so I'm glad to see someone excited for once!

pyrochild Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 The Bands of America St. Louis Super Regional is the 2nd largest high school marching band competition in the country. Only BOA Grand Nationals is larger. 56 bands competed in prelims, and my band, the Rampart Regiment, placed 7th overall. The 14 top bands moved on to finals. For finals we had some issues, and only got 11th. But still, at least we made finals. We honestly had no idea if we would... After the awards ceremony, some of us stayed and watched an exhibition performance from Broken Arrow, a Grand National champion band from 2 years ago. It. Was. Amazing. And then we all got on the bus for the 18-hour ride back to Colorado. Fun fun. Quote ambigram signature by Kemaru [i write plugins and stuff] If you like a post, upvote it!

pyrochild Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Other than some issues with some of our less mature members really frakking around in the hotel, and a bus driver falling asleep (repeatedly) on the way back, it was every bit as good of a band trip as the one from my freshman year to the Zia competition in Albuquerque. Oh, and one of the trumpet section leaders and a trumpet fresh(wo)man may have been doing things they shouldn't have been on the bus ride back... yeah.

eraser18 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I just met the most amazing oboe player. He sat in with the community band tonight and he is fantastic. He even got out a screwdriver and tightened some of my loose screws that I didn't even know were loose. Then, he took out a lighter and held one of my keys over it to melt the pad under it so he could adjust it to the proper position (it apparently slid too far down). Now my oboe plays 10 times better than before and I'm really inspired to play like he can one day. What a great night Quote |Eraser18's Gallery| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
startreksuite Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 boy I feel out of place. I had friends who were in band, but I was the jock who ran track and played soccer. I tried the clarinet once, and failed miserably. Now I'm a couch potato! Quote my photobucket my blog my DA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimson Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 You had "some problems," and you still got 11th? Wow...last year, we did a competition called DestinationImagiNation. We placed 1st in the state competition. Then, when we moved on to National, (global, really, since the US accounts for about 90% of DI) we had a problem with a radio transmitter, which was pretty much linked to our main project. 20 minutes before the big show. We placed 44th out of 58. But, as you said, at least we made it to the finals :wink: Quote Create A Professional-Looking Product Advertisment Mockup flickr | Deviant Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eraser18 Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Well, I see your problem. You tried the clarinet ...And trying an oboe would've been better? Well, not necessarily. The oboe is an extremely difficult instrument that takes a lifetime to master. I started out on the clarinet because that's how the school wanted me to, and I hated it. The only nice sounding, mellow notes are from low G to D and they can be easily replicated on a saxophone. So, for startreksuite, I would have suggested anything but the clarinet. I just met the most amazing oboe player. He sat in with the community band tonight and he is fantastic. He even got out a screwdriver and tightened some of my loose screws that I didn't even know were loose. Anything can sound awkward if you add "if you know what I mean" after it. This is one such situation: He even got out his screwdriver and tightened some of my loose screws, if you know what I mean. See? Sorry, I'm being facetious. Uh...yeah. So I was going through my fingerings before band, taking it slow, and then I realized I had to tongue all these sixteenth notes, so I practiced tonguing the reed at a really fast speed.
