Pride of broken arrow 2021! Plsssssss it is such an underrated yet amazing show

Their percussion director is the battery coordinator for the Bluecoats, which makes the match grip even more interesting.

The only problem and I mean the only that problem I have Tarpon is that they recruit across the whole of Pinellas county and more. It’s likened to the townships of many Midwest programs. It’s a Charter school program that recruits talent.

That’s our son! He’s the trombone soloist and 1st chair, and our daughter is in the trumpet section. Both Wind Ensemble members. VHS went one time to Grand Nats, won it their first time! They also wonTMEA HONOR Band, Sudler Cup And John Sousa Award, and then went on to be invited to the coveted International Midwest Clinc. The director allowed anyone who could march,to march. No one was left out. That’s their motto.

So many Nats homers seem to forget that peeking another week for bands that may or ma not go to Indy is legitimate. Truth is trying to compare a program that peaked a week prior Nats due to season ending and trying to rank is illegitimate. Considering that any 2013-2023 SaSR program winner would be front runner for the Eagle Reagan would have no doubt taken the Eagle if given the opportunity.

I’d love to see you react to some smaller ensembles! Highland Park 2019 and Rouse 2021 are all fantastic examples. To get even smaller, Argyle 2021, North Lamar 2016, and Canton 2018 are all great shows. If you want to continue with the larger (and ultimately more impressive) groups, Flower Mound 2016, 2017, 2018, 2021, the Woodlands 2013, 2021, and 2022 are all a bit weirder shows that still have insanely high levels of difficulty and execution. Blue Springs 2017, 2019, and 2022 and any Tarpon Springs show are similarly strange but have a bit smaller groups.

Lots of schools like to use matched because it's a lot easier to teach to younger students, even among mature-sounding ensembles in Texas. Believe it or not, "traditional vs. matched" is a very hot debate even among many professional percussionists.

@505Hockey

I don't care what Stewart Copeland says: there is literally no advantage other than visual appeal to traditional grip. Every single thing someone plays using traditional can be executed equally well using matched and vice versa.

I played in the Texas Tech snare line and we used match grip. Drumlines use match grip because you can naturally get a more even sound out of the drum from hand to hand.

@@funlinerproductions7071, I know there were some corps in the early 2000's that used match grip as well at one point. SCV used it in '83, '94 and '05. The problem with match grip is the snare has to be mounted lower on the body so it can potential interfere with drill especially if you have to run or transition quickly from front to back. Even though it's not a natural motion, I prefer a line to play traditional for that very reason. Higher mounted drum means the left stick is more parallel to the playing surface and bottom part of the drum is out of the way for those crazy maneuvers.

Watched this show after we competed in finals this year and it was pretty crazy in person

Agree about Broken Arrow 2021. Everett, could you do a podcast breaking down the DCI scoring sheet, caption by caption, explaining what's being looked for and how the corps is achieving that?

I’m going to throw Avon’s 2010 Iconoclash at you. Would love your thoughts when reviewing mashed music material, or even a DCI show that did that kind of arranging.

YES!

Definitely Vista Ridge 2022

As many have said, Reagan 2019 is a great band to watch as well. Vandegrift 2019 was not only beat by Reagan in the competitions they both attended, but also not a single ensemble judge(GE music and visual) put vandegrift above Reagan in competition. In fact, during the whole season, only one judge that sat in the box gave Reagan a placement other than first. (SA prelims) If Reagan had attended grand nationals that year, it almost certainly would have been a Reagan win. Also going to second Broken Arrow 2021. (Judging by the number of suggestions you are almost certainly going to do this one). Both of these shows may not be as pleasing to the DCI fanatics, but they are both immense crowd pleasers and General Effect driven shows. In BOA, GE wins competitions. Last wild cardI'll trow in because not enough people are gonna ask for this one is Flower Mound 2016. The last show to clean sweep BOA SA finals. In fact, any Flower mound show other than 2019 will be a fun watch.

James F Byrnes 2022 Scarlett confidential

, I could be wrong but I believe Jeff Sacktig is the one who wrote the drill for this show

If your ever interested in a small band do Allegany high school. I’d recommend waiting till November for this year, however we won 2021 and 2022 as well. As for the reason to wait, the colorguard work is harder that anything it has been recently and it’s looking good already for second week of band camp.

I know I'm biased, but I would love for you to react to my high school marching band, "The American Fork High School Marching Band" 2022 :) It is the best marching band in Utah, and possibly the western front
