Same here, J. I sometimes wonder, too.

Kilts are VERY uncomfortable...
Besides, they don't wear kilts how kilts should be worn :wink:

I remember seeing Logan...two years ago at Championships. We were on early in the morning...Logan later at night.
There was Logan...hours and hours before they performed, doing a full fledged rehearsal.
Now that shows dedication.

Easy...Montebello :!:
I never did forget that night...
And now...
More than twenty years later...
I still remember every note of the music that wandered out into the still night air.
The only thing is...
I can't remember how to play it anymore.

i really like madera and i'm not saying that i want to move, but if i could have a day in the life of one band i think it would be leigh. i'm just curious about how they rehearse and stuff like that.

One with a big guard. I don't care which one, just a big one. I just want to try it for like a week and see what it's like to be on a guard of like 70+ people :shock:
Then I think the drama would get to me and I’d be out.

I’d also like to see what it's like to have big band (we've got around 150 or 160 plus or 32 member guard rounds us up to around 190).

I just wonder what it's like and how the directors/section leaders handle it. And how they practice. I’ve always wanted to see some of the powerhouse bands practices (arcadia, rb, mt carmel, chino). I just have this huge curiosity as to what they do different, I don’t know I’m weird like that. :)

Benicia..because I love their jackets and the hats the guard wears. And the people that I met this summer from there were really nice.

Or one of the big Southern California bands.

I would like to see what it's like to be in a larger band also.

Two bands that stick out in my mind that I wouldnt mind being in would be Pacifica or Yucca Valley, for other reason, not necessairly size.
