TA DA! It's our first official performance from the game last night. There's a tear in the first song, and the drill isn't all that great because we had about 7 holes, mostly in the guard. But we sound bigger than we ever have.

^ I love your ballad. I heard 2 other bands play that ballad last year and I was very jealous of them lol. And you do sound really big for such a small band. That's a really good thing.
What's your show called this year?

It's called Cirque Du Soliel - La Nouba. The songs are Distorted, Reve Rouge, A La Lune, and Urban. Urban is my favorite. We get to dance. XD

You guys look and sound a lot like my band, only we have a battery but no guard. Size is hard to judge because you're so differently proportioned, but I think we're equivalent. Good literature and drill.

You sound nice and perform very well! An amazing show esp. considering i'm used to ones involving some 230 members. Balance is nice. We're playing urban as a stand tune. :-) it does look fun.

As for allen (sorry abt the double post), that's like us (230), the biggest band in the district (300) and the top ensemble from one of the middle schools (60). There was a time before half the schools in our district were opened (late 90's, early 2000's) when our band was 450 strong, with a JV and varsity marching band, but it's been a while. They performed separately at contest, IDK if they marched the same shows. However, they all played at varsity and only varsity football games. That must have been a sight! I never could get my mom and dad to take me to one. My dad went to school at the former archrival school so he was reluctant to come to one of the games even when I started marching...

Allen also pwns. 613 people!! Jesus. That's like... 3 times as much as Joshua has. As soon as my camera batteries charge I'm uploading the video from our show this year. 613? My God, that's bigger than my band and our rival's school band combined! At last count, my entire High School was at 611. ><><><

^^We are at about 400 here. I also wonder what the chain of command at Allen would look like, since a one of their sections is probably bigger than my band.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=duz3Wqqn3CsThis isn't us. It's our rivals actually. You probably wouldn't want see our terrible performance from that night. Gah. But you can hear some of our cadance and watch us marching off though. They had major ants in thair pants even though they had plenty of time to perform, they still marched on practially straight into us.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRq-SdDLQZIOur closer this year. Sorry about the bad quality, it was taken with my friends camera in the back of the Metrodome. And listen for the singing at the end. It's hard to hear, as that was the only show we actually did it, but it sounds pretty cool.
