Vicki Wyant hasn't been with Redwood since 2009. Their band director is a Redwood graduate, though!Hostrauser wrote:Wow. When was the last time Redwood MS didn't win the MS divisions at Santa Cruz? Was Vicki Wyant still there recently? Did they have a director change this year?

Wow, Armijo had a higher subtotal than Golden Valley, but inspection cost them Parade Sweeps.Luis wrote:The recaps have been posted on the NCBA website. I took the liberty of downloading them so I can attach them here
I had not noticed this. I wonder what 3 infractions cost Armijo overall Sweepstakes.Hostrauser wrote:

Congrats to Las Plumas/Oroville for not just winning Music Sweeps, but for winning Music Sweeps by almost 10 points! That's impressive considering the caliber of bands at the review.

Interesting. I think I know why, but I'd like to hear Mr. Stratton explain how he came to the decision of having the flutes (and a few other WW?) peel out of the middle of the block and head to the back just after the judges stand.Luis wrote:Mr. Stratton posted a video of his band's High Music performance.

Balance in the 1st and last strain. When you have more tubas than flutes and more trombones than saxs, you have to make some adjustments....did it last year too.Hostrauser wrote:Interesting.

NCBA should eliminate inspection. No one should lose a sweeps based on pant lengths. This happened to GV one time a few years ago too.crickett wrote:Armijo was pant length.
About 12 years I made a motion to have inspection removed. My argument was that it did not reflect our educational goals and was something that only penalized students. I also argued that there were many bands without the means to maintain uniforms at a high level.JCYS wrote:NCBA should eliminate inspection. No one should lose a sweeps based on pant lengths.

Just my opinion.
Pretty much what I expected. Huge low brass section at LPO this year, upper woodwinds would have just disappeared if they were behind all that brass before the judges stand or remained in front of it after the stand.JCYS wrote:Balance in the 1st and last strain.
