    I was a volunteer for music warmups for all prelims semis and finals, I'm from PA and I knew coming into this competition Vandegrift was amazing, I was lucky enough to be able to watch this show from the box, from the auxiliary warm up room ( friend had to trade me so I could watch because they didn't use the main music warm up room for winds ), and for their victory run I watched from the field. It was nice to be able to step back from preforming and just being able to watch everything great around you. It was an amazing year for BOA and super competitive. Definitely an experience I'm going to remember.

The only things negatively that stood out to me were the simplicity of the drill, with a bit of stand and play, and then becoming fatigued just before the final push.

      It's a public school. All kids can play in the band.

    Nice clean drill. Well designed and marched. Not very challenging though (please don't kill me), from a /visual standpoint/, thought musically they were pretty damn tight. I was kinda shocked to read further down in the comments that they won? I just expected something a bit more ambitious to be the winner.

      And they won the TMEA State Honor Band that year! Actually, they march every kid they can so everyone can be involved. It’s a HUGE undertaking to put that many musicians on the field. The drill never stopped, they did body movements non stop. DCI only marches 120, this program has almost 400 that want to be on the field. I’m so proud that our directors make every effort to do so instead of just the top few. And, I’m completely proud of my son, the trombone soloist! 😍

      Cause Way May have but they weren’t there and they swept the floor with their competition. People can’t even hate on this show because this would’ve placed above some previous champions in earlier years as well. Obviously different year different show but you can’t take this away from them especially after sounding as great as they did. Beautiful show, clean, powerful, and it damn well put them on the map

      Cause Way I mean of course the results would be different lmao let’s throw money at all the GOD TIER marching programs and have them ALL compete. 60% of the finalist wouldn’t even have made it lmao. Let’s throw in Ronald Reagan, Broken Arrow, Tarpon Springs, Wando, etc. there’s already a top 8 if you include the top 4 that placed making it in with them. Results would be all over the place, but they aren’t there so we can’t make those assumptions

    • @brrrrrtenjoyer
      @brrrrrtenjoyer Před 2 lety

      Lol the only impression of Kyoto Tachibana you guys get is from Pasadena parades. You seriously think they could beat bands like Vandegrift,Avon,Carmel, Hebron or Broken Arrow? Kyoto Tachibana is lucky they don't know who these guys are cause it seems like 90% of people think they're better but they've never done anything against a BOA champion band. They aren't better. This isn't against Tachibana's hard work but they it's true.

    • @takigan
      @takigan Před 2 lety

      They would score huge in execution (both musical and visual) but would struggle to rack up the necessary GE points due to the lack of difficulty and artistic complexity of their music selections. It would be like trying to win the state marching contest while playing Louie Louie and National Emblem March....like you could be the Chicago Symphony and you're still going to hit a wall just based on your literature choice. They'd also run into some size issues that a lot of other bands with only 120-130 kids run into.
      It's hard to compare a band of that style to the bands of BOA. Now if we're talking about some of the JMBA scholastic groups, like Shonandai HS, Saitama Sakae HS, Tenrikyo Academy (天理教校学園), Nishihara, etc.....Those shows have more of a WGI-Lite flair to them. I think those groups are stronger overall than Vandegrift, Hebron, Broken Arrow, Avon....groups like that.

      Cleaner?.. Yeah they can play runs and licks 9 outta 10 high school bands couldn't even come close to..but then again 99 vanguard didn't just raise your hairs.. You felt it in your chest.. This band could compete with some college/university marching bands.. Which for a high school band is ridiculous good.. But a top tier drum corps during late July onward pushing into finals week is when the sound comparison just isn't close.. Its like saying lsu or Clemson could beat the raiders or browns.. Its just not happening.. I feel sorry for any band thats gotta follow this group at a football game halftime show.. thats gotta be terrible if your in the other band 😂

      Take 50 members out in the winds section and it wouldn't be as loud

You can’t buy a band. 2019-2020 is because now they have enough people interested of being part of the band family. And a great band at that. Lol go hate somewhere else 💁🏽‍♀️

      It's a public school. You get the kids that live in that school's local community and that's it. They are fortunate that the Leander Independent School District really invests in fine arts. All the local elementary and middle schools have well-established music programs creating a strong feeder program into this and the other high schools in Leander ISD (which are pretty well all incredible bands btw)
