[fancypost bgcolor=; bordercolor=; borderwidth=0px; width: 334px; height: 134px; overflow: auto; color: #FFFFFF; font-family: arial;][justify]Hey! I am so glad that you created this thread. I am indeed a band nerd! I play the trumpet in both the concert and marching ensembles. Unfortunately, I am a senior and I already experienced my last season of marching band. But my director is not the most easygoing, so I was about done by the end of it anyways.[/fancypost]

Aw I'm sorry... :c Are you going to be in a college marching band? I'm thinking about it but I'm a junior so I have a little bit of time to decide. What was your show? Ours was The Rise and Fall of Rome. We won our state competition with it.

[fancypost bgcolor=; bordercolor=; borderwidth=0px; width: 334px; height: 134px; overflow: auto; color: #FFFFFF; font-family: arial;][justify]No, marching band is just a high school experience for me. Our show this year was called Empire Rising, and it was about the construction of the Empire State Building. Our drum major won the best drum major award from that show, even if we didn't win with it. [/fancypost]

[fancypost bgcolor=; bordercolor=; borderwidth=0px; width: 334px; height: 134px; overflow: auto; color: #FFFFFF; font-family: arial;][justify]I'm sure he would thank you. From getting first place, he also got to conduct the all-star band. The all-star band marches in a big parade for Thanksgiving. It was cool to watch him. Anyways, so far, what show has been your favorite? Even though it wasn't that good, my freshman year show will always be in my heart. Plus that was he show that we won fifth place overall with. It was a day of victory for the Marching Titans.[/fancypost]

Oh wow! That's really awesome! I really like the shows we've done so far but I have two favorites. My freshman year we did Heart, Mind, Body, and Soul and my sophomore year we marched Pirates of the Caribbean! The shows are on YouTube so If you wanna see them and I can post them here if you want c:We're a small band made up of around 60 members but I think we do some pretty cool stuff. I went on a trip with the band once to go see some bigger schools compete and they had crazy effects. One of the shows even had upside down mellophones.

[fancypost bgcolor=; bordercolor=; borderwidth=0px; width: 334px; height: 134px; overflow: auto; color: #FFFFFF; font-family: arial;][justify]Wow, that sounds really cool! My shows for all four years are also gonna be on YouTube. I could post them if you wanted as well. But my freshman year, our show was New Beginnings. It was centered around the creation of a new land. Sophomore year we did Argentina: 1955. It was about the rise and fall of the tango. In that show, we actually did do some tango. Then junior year we did Candide. It was based off a play by Voltaire. It was still pretty fun music. Although the thing that anyone will notice about us is that we play better than we march. Freshman year we were only about 40 strong, and we sounded louder than the group 3 bands. But each year we got bigger and bigger and senior year we had over 60 members.[/fancypost]

[fancypost bgcolor=; bordercolor=; borderwidth=0px; width: 334px; height: 134px; overflow: auto; color: #FFFFFF; font-family: arial;][justify]Tonight I could only get to Heart, Mind, Body, and Soul. But I will surely watch the rest of them tomorrow. You guys have a great sound for a smaller band. You're similar to my band in that respect. And I think I may have heard "what does the fox say" in there somewhere haha.[/fancypost]
