for the marching banders out there..

<p>First comp is September 24th! Our “theme” is broadway. Last year’s show was probably the best we’ve ever performed. :slight_smile: We literally just finished the closer Thursday. Friday’s game performance was terrible… I’m not ready for video review in class tomorrow ■■■■■.</p>

<p>bump 10char. </p>

<p>Someone needs to beat Timber Creek.</p>

<p>Immaculata beat South Brunswick this weekend. I was so surprised.</p>

<p>Competed in my first competition this weekend. We got 2nd :(. But, we’ll beat the band that beat us in November at the Asymmetrix Nationals. (It’s a high stepping competition.) We did half a drill and no dance routine, but we have an amazing drill.</p>

<p>Samonuh - why were you surprised? I’ve been to competitions and lata has always been right up there with SB and has beaten them a few times in the past, but the margin has always been very close…</p>

<p>TOB Chapter Championships this weekend</p>

<p>@warriorpride12 South Brunswick did very well in 2009 and 2010. They were the first band from New Jersey to make it into BOA semi-finals. I guess this year just isn’t a good year for them.</p>

<p>Anyways, my band is doing fine. I’m almost 100% sure we’re going to win USSBA Group 4 Nationals, hopefully Grand Nationals as well (Dartmouth is probably going to get that though).</p>

<p>^^ Going into Chapter 1 + 10 championships as #1 seed. So excited.</p>

<p>My band’s show is My Chemical Romance (to those who want to judge, the arrangement actually sounds better than the original songs. But that’s just me.) We do USSA. It’s a really awesome show and so proud to be in marching band.</p>

<p>TOB Group 2A State Champions!!!</p>

<p>Our school is doing a medley to Queen.</p>

<p>Haven’t seen the show on the football field yet, but my expectations remain the same for them every year.</p>

<p>I’m not marching this year…:frowning: But the show sucked. Tonight was their last comp. They didn’t make state but the cross-town rival (who used to suck, but now is good) got in.</p>

<p>We got a 93.125 this week…lol at USSBA’s huge scores…</p>

<p>Regardless of score, we did well this week. Can’t wait for Nationals in 3 weeks!</p>

<p>TOB Chapter IX Group 4 Champions!!</p>

<p>We’re doing a Bon Jovi show now… it’s alright though. I’m a cymbalist. Alwaysss loafin.</p>

<p>I’m not marching this year, but I think it sounds and looks pretty good. Of course the marching ppl moan and groan about their “awful” formations. Pfft, such perfectionist, lol.</p>

<p>ACCs this Saturday.</p>

<p>I still don’t understand why Timber Creek dropped down to 2A other than the fact that they wanted a free championship.</p>

<p>My band lost Group IV Open Nationals. This is not the way I wanted to end my senior year. I’m still holding back the tears…</p>
