Man we have been debating this for years. Its not just in your area, its all over Texas, Louisiana and everywhere else really except for N.O. and ATL. In Texas, we dont have any showbands with 100 members. NOT ONE !!! Not Beaumont Central. Not Willowridge.
We are living in a different time with a lazy culture of students. We have to deal with people skipping rehearsals, arguing with the bd, some even trying to fight the band directors (yes I have had to go Cactus Jack on a few people in my years). They quit for the smallest thing. I had one student to quit because she wanted to go to the casino. Another one quit because his lip was sore after one intense rehearsal. Another one quit because she didnt want to play "Mary had a little Lamb" in class but hell, she couldnt play the Bb scale.
Somethign is going to have to give. Now that the inner city schools are getting new uniforms and new instruments, the kids need to get right. Thats my two cents.
Thats why our HS's now days are so much SMALLER, thats why our HS's today couldnt even touch what they use to be 10 an 15+ years ago, From what you see in thses clips is what HS band is and MEANS today to Society and our younger Generations. But yall dont care... Just trying to make a point. HS bands will NEVER be the same as they were because of ALL OF THIS U SEE IN THE VIDEO and from that Man's Previous Reply I have in ITALICS
But yeah, "They just kids, They just Babies... Leave em alone, they havin fun"
....DESTROYING.........!!!!

So yeah I DO care too much, I Do want everything to ALWAYS be precise and serious!
Because if your Having TOO MUCH fun, then your not doing what your suppose to do in the 1st place, its also something called WORK and HARD WORK, Perfection, Precision, Quality, U cant achieve these things doing the
2 STEP an C WALK in the middle of a Damn song when theres NO BREAK DOWN! Nor rest! Or Tuba Breakdown!
