I agree with Vallejo being surprise! I do think their show was very good in a super competitive and "complete" division. BY THE WAY...another nice surprise ... TO SEE NINE ENSEMBLES IN OPEN DIVISION!! :yeah:

Del Oro's look was a surprise and COOL.

GBHS doing standing surprised me. Yet, THEY WERE SMOKING!! I understand the reasons for them 'standing' this year. I hope they will get on the floor next year. NICE JOB GBHS.

And yes...I will be a "homer" ... a nice shout out to my Dublin HS students for their performances this year. To be the only drumline (I write not really knowing) to have only one instructor (their 44 year-old band director amongst all those "cool-young-hip" instructors) and still DO GREAT is a testamony to your talent. 17 lines slated to be in ONE DIVISION (might be a surprise, as well) this year at champs and you still came in SECOND place (NCBA CALLS IT 'FIRST PLACE') in our second year together??? Pretty special...CONGRATULATIONS.

Nice topic!!!!!!

How about the top novice groups from last year. Pleasant grove , ponderosa and laguna creek. All three groups were moved up this year and ponderosa was moved all the way to scholastic. Not only were they moved up but they all trophied. It's awesome to see groups moving up the ranks and being successful !

hey to break it to you but lp/o has one drumline instructor as well infact it was the instructors first year as well

NCBA Winterpercussion Surprise?? To read this above quote from an "lp/o" student surprises me. Why? Because I am used to LP/O humility.

Anyhow ... Congratulations to you, fellow LP/O members and first year instructor. Look forward to seeing/hearing your ensemble years to come.

To get back to topic, BOBBY, I was very surprised with Armijo this year. They won champs twice in a row, in Scholastic this year and last year in Advanced. I'm sure they will attempt to go into the big Open Division next year and will do just fine, if so, good luck.
