Our group received straight II's for the stage and for sightreading. A bit more concentration could have gotten us a 1 in there somewhere.
La Marque performed while we were warming up, so I missed them. Shole hated it...
I was very impressed by Willowridge's group. Despite having a "smaller" band than before, Mr. Thornton has a good group of kids, and is dropping that knowledge on them. Some of my students said their pieces sounded like a movie soundtrack. Very clean, very expressive, great dynamic contrast.
Yates performed as we were loading up, so I didn't get to hear them. It's good to see them in events like this, though.
I'm glad that the staff at TSU took the time to put this together. It allows directors to have their kids perform before the "real deal" at UIL, and the students get to see a group that looks like them doing this concert band stuff. Usually if a minority school goes to a concert festival, they'll be the only ones like that there, and will be much smaller.
I hope this event happens next year, and has more groups to perform!!!

The festival went well. We will continue it next year hopefully..
I enjoyed every group that performed on Friday.
Willowridge - nice
North Forest - u guys are definately doing well over there. Just keep pushing the kids cleve and tillford. minor problems but good job overall with the concert band.
I really like quintology (/) the peice with the 5/4 meter...
Hightower - Great job
Lamarque - Good Job (small) but okay. Credit to your clarinets and tubas...good sound.
