Re: MIRA MESA INVITATIONAL BAND REVIEW and FIELD TOURNAMENT
I know, right? It can be pretty easy to get caught up in the competitiveness of it all. Then again, if I thought the judging at these events was reliable - and it's not at all reliable, in fact it's almost always terrible - I might take results more seriously.airons0678 wrote:

I just want to make sure my kids have interesting shows to work on and are prepared to have killer performances.

Re: MIRA MESA INVITATIONAL BAND REVIEW and FIELD TOURNAMENT
I want to clarify that although I don't know who uci_guy is or originally said it, this is not a quote from a person currently affiliated with my program and absolutely does not reflect what we are about. Everyone in the program respects our competition or they are no longer part of it. We are all looking forward to a great day of positive competition and sportsmanship and great commentary from the panel.uci_guy wrote: Ayala doesn't need to waste it's time with scsboa bands, we're national contenders ... lol
Ayala is definitely the band to beat in CA

Hello, Mr. Stone. First off, great show! Your kids, parents, staff work very hard, and never have they been disrespectful (that I know).Mark Stone wrote:I want to clarify that although I don't know who uci_guy is or originally said it, this is not a quote from a person currently affiliated with my program and absolutely does not reflect what we are about.

As for uci_guy, I think he (I assume "he") changed his original post to imply more sarcasm with the "Ayala doesn't need to waste it's time with scsboa bands, we're national contenders" post, as a direct response to PSM. It doesn't look like it phrased the way it is now, but before you definitely knew uci_guy was not affiliated with Ayala. And I don't think it was a direct shot at your program, really--mainly a remark about how PSM came across, which has been cleared up (I hope!). Anyways, no "Rumble in San Diego" (ha ha!). Just great, classy competing, as always.
Re: MIRA MESA INVITATIONAL BAND REVIEW and FIELD TOURNAMENT
thank you airons0678, that is correct.
i do hope ayala does well at nationals. 2007s road not taken is one of my favorites.

No worries...I just wanted to clarify as I know how these things blow up sometimes.

Re: MIRA MESA INVITATIONAL BAND REVIEW and FIELD TOURNAMENT
Interesting. I don't remember the last time a powerhouse band took a fairly long trip to perform in a different circuit. It does remind me of when Etiwanda used to attend Arcadia, but that was a SCSBOA band going to a SCSBOA event.

Re: MIRA MESA INVITATIONAL BAND REVIEW and FIELD TOURNAMENT
I can't remember what year, and what circuit, but I remember Mission Viejo went down to San Diego and ended up competing with Rancho Bernardo. Also, Arcadia has competed in WBA (against James Logan) up in Union City a few times. It's rare, but it happens.horns2thebachs wrote:Interesting.

Re: MIRA MESA INVITATIONAL BAND REVIEW and FIELD TOURNAMENT
Thanks. But didn't RB host a WBA show one year? I think MV may have participated, but RB didn't compete.Hostrauser wrote:It was the Poway Invitational in 2012, and actually, that was the one year Rancho Bernardo did not attend.airons0678 wrote:I can't remember what year, and what circuit, but I remember Mission Viejo went down to San Diego and ended up competing with Rancho Bernardo.

Re: MIRA MESA INVITATIONAL BAND REVIEW and FIELD TOURNAMENT
Yes, RB's home show was part of the WBA circuit for the first two years (2009 & 2010) and Mission Viejo was at both. But since it was WBA, Mission Viejo wasn't traveling to go out of circuit.airons0678 wrote:Thanks. But didn't RB host a WBA show one year? I think MV may have participated, but RB didn't compete.
RB's show was then independently judged for several years, and changed again this year to be (and going forward, I assume will be) SCSBOA-judged.

(RB, El Dorado, Vista, San Marcos) that are... quite unfortunate, to say the least
