Comps?
I am from la mesa and play in the Helix Wind Symphony and i have never heard of actual competitions. We are a very good band who received U superiorors in both of our only festivles this year (Grossmont and Claremont). Is there comptetions or just festivles? I think our group could do well if we were placed into a "circuit" if there is any, I mean our school just received a grammy!

You guys really don't get out of the south do you?
Doesn't anyone have an opinion about anyone in the north? I do! Chico High is doing really good this year. I hope I see them at festival.

Q: How can you tell which kid on the playground is the child of a trombonist?
A: They don't know how to use the slide and can't swing.

Small Bands
I remember the bands of La Puente under Richard Martinez. The work they did was always top notch. I would always use them as an example of fine musicianship and great fundimentals.
If you've ever seen the Marine Corps Band play then you really understand.
It is never QUANTITY but always QUALITY.
