| Fourth out of six in Liberty A Class. Nothing to be ashamed
of. I can't argue about our results. As I told some of you
at the show while we were waiting for awards, there were about five
bands that we were awefully close to. I couldn't have picked the
order for those bands. I DO have a problem with the band that
won. I don't think any band whose pit consists of a bass, a
guitar, SEVERAL electric pianos, and where timpani is the only
percussive instrument should be allowed to compete with all that
crap. I mean, they sound like they have more strings than
saxes. What does that tell you?
p.s. - Just because we were in A Class instead of Open Class, don't
think that makes our achievments any lower. Being in Liberty A
instead of Liberty Open didn't put us up against lesser bands, just
smaller bands closer to us in size. I watched Spring Grove.
It's not that they're that much better than us. They're just much
bigger than us. And when you have a larger band you can achieve
greater effect scores. That's just the way it is. Even drum
corps has an Open Class and an A Class. The only seperation is
size. Not talent. Last year we were 7th in American
Open. This year we were 4th in Liberty A. For what it's
worth, I thought this year's show was much more complete in the sense
of bringing all the musical and visual elements together. The
drumline was much improved from the previous year and we had a pit
feature this year that was very effective! That's something new
for us. I want to continue to grow our percussion sections next
year. The color guard was bigger and added more color and
presence to our field production. Overall, I'd have to say that
marching was better. Sets were more readable and techinique as a
whole was better. Perfect? No, of course not. But
getting better. You guys performed this year with more confidence
than ever before. I know change is always weird, but you guys
have to have faith in us and trust that what we're doing as a staff is
making you better. Rome wasn't built in a day. Keep the
faith and the results will show.
