Post by PercussionAndAllThatJazz » Mon Nov 29, 2004 8:02 am

I know this topic exists, but the topic is definitely seasonal and it changes every time...this one's a little more inclusive though.

What school are you from?
What is the instrumentation for your line?
Which indoor circuit are you competing in?
-which division are you competing in?
What is your theme/show?

Update away!

TBA means Tenor Brass Accordion.

:shock:

Kidding...means "To Be Announced" meaning, they don't know yet, and they'll let you know later.

Are you the same Warner Middle School where my wife went to school back in the 70's...on Newland in Westminster? That's AWESOME you guys have a drumline program there!! COOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!

Wow your wife went to Warner? Yes it is the one on Newland... Mr (John) Whatley started it a long time ago and then a long line of instructors continued it afterwards. Warner competed once like in 97 but stopped until Steve Ordaz took it over last year and they began competing. It has been a really great program and has fed Westminster High School a lot of talented percussionists. :D

I cannot wait to see your costumes. My 10-year old daughter still watches your video from last year, much to the chagrin of her brother, who sees that act as one of disloyalty. :) She just thought the Cirque costumes were far superior to blue-flame-boy-band ones.

All I get to say about ours is that it's dark -- just about opposite of last year -- dark, but not gothic. Think...mythology.
