Bands that have amazed you this season

Post by BariSx_G » Mon Nov 17, 2003 3:51 pm

Looking back at this season, what bands that you've seen really amazed you?

My pick (in order of whom I've seen):



1. Murrieta Valley (you guys improved a lot)
2. Rancho Buena Vista
3. Upland (excellent music)
4. RCC :D
5. El Dorado (Chicago rocks! Nice props for the 2nd song)
6. Diamond Bar
7. Rubidoux
8. Rowland (percussion kicks major arse)
9. Highland (from Arizona)
10. South Hills
11. Nogales
12. Ramona

Bands That Amazed You

Post by JLGORMAN » Mon Nov 17, 2003 6:24 pm

Ronald Reagan High, San Antonio. Saw them on 12 Sep at their game with us in Killeen. What most people at BOA did not see was their outstanding 50member drill team, 35 member Dance team and the full Band was over 250 instrumentalists, they marched less than 200 at BOA totally awesome performance and worthy of the Standing Ovation they received from our Fans, not usually given to applaud the visiting Band Highly
Deep in the Heart of Texas. Home of the III Mobile Armored Corps and the 1st Cavalry Division, serving America in Iraq

nothing at all "amazed me" at the NCBA level...although, I would've loved to have seen Bella Vista at one of thier shows.

Also would have loved to have had the opportunity to view Grand Nationals (from the stands). Maybe I'll just make plans to be in Indy next November...

etiwanda has probably had the best show I've seen in Southern California. Another greatly improved band is Granada Hills. In the smaller divisions, Saugus is greatly improved and Santa Mararita is even better than last year.
