just out of curiousity, what post of mine made you think that scores change my overall feeling about a show?Teever wrote:RBsnare - Don't let the fact that you weren't the highest scoring group of the evening ever change the way you feel about your show - you should have come off of the field feeling great, because you did have a great show! There were many outstanding lines there that night, and they should all be proud of their accomplishments this year - they truly have "raised the bar" this year!
My heart's numbered beat
still echoes in this empty room
and fear wells in me
but nothing seems big enough to defend
so im going away, i am going away...

Easy boys!
RBsnare - my apology, I believe I was answering RBtenor and typed you by mistake.
RBtenor, perhaps I could say you weren't happy with your placing or something else, but your exact words were "...a sour ending for us (scorewise)...", so that was the impression I got from your post. I stand corrected.
At any rate, my point was not really to emphasize what your priorities are, just to encourage you to keep enjoying playing well for the sake of playing well! No offense intended - enjoy the rest of your year!

As part of the Arcadia Festival of Bands, bands who participated in the band review were also given the option of entering a standstill-type drumline competition which was held at the awards ceremony location - the high school stadium. Lines could enter in either of two categories; either "Street", which was basically for lines playing primarily cadences and without pit and "Field", which was primarily for lines with full instrumentation. Most of the "Field" lines played some sort of modified version of their field show music. Some lines made more intensive efforts at presenting a more complete visual package as well. Lines performed on the track, right in front of the stands, which made for an exciting performance environment - especially if members of a line's band were right there on the fence.
Way back when, a similar competition was held after the review. It was called the Dr. D'Arcy drum competition, and lines were given the field area from the goal line to the 50 yard line to basically do whatever they wanted. This was a unique event, since at the time, the only other drumline competitions were held "on the march" as part of other major band reviews (such as Chino, Colton, and Santa Monica). This was, I believe, Arcadia's second year in bringing back the drumline competition, and it was really a fun place to play!
