With 850 Members we fit fine in the stands. At long horn stadium, they bought risers for us, and our brass section hardly fit. all the woodwinds and some brass had to stand on the track for the game.
@MusicRater01 They don't all go out and play. They have "shadows" who stay on the side, then they get a chance to challenge the person with the actual spot on the field during the shows.
What's the head count at Allen this year? I'm having total band envy. I teach at a 4A high school, and you could almost fit TEN of my band into the Allen band.
Their band is huge, but their marching is kinda boring. If I were to give that band any tips, it would be to take an advantage of all those people, to march and make unique shapes. It's not everyday you see a high school band like this
@crazyweathergirl thats what mr pennington, our band director says! but he wants us to be even louder! there is always room for improvement! he always says "i want you to pin me against a wall!" to which a bunch of my friends say "thats what she said" LOL
@TheMuta71 That's a big school.... I go to one of the smallest 6A schools in Alabama (Homewood, we have about 1,000) and we have i think 286 winds/percussion this year (plus 4 dm, 30 color guard, 26 dancers)
@zharston Hi Zharston, This year we had close to 580-600 kids in the band, which when added to the 50 color guard members and 60-80 members of the drill team made the close to 710 person Escadrille :)
Yeah we have like 18 baritones.... But only 4 of them are actually real baritones . The rest are trombones.... With the new freshman next year we will have at least 30 . 0_0
@zharston I honestly don't know. I would estimate 500 or something, but I have no idea. Your probably right about fitting 10 of your band into the allen escadrille!
Our band is very close to this many people but we can't put them all on the field. We only march about half because if we put everyone on the field, we can't keep formations and it looks sloppy but this band. Wow... Very clean looking.
i seriously need to see y'all live. everyone says the first note is so powerful it;s like your face is being slammed against a brick wall. lol. too cool. =)

@meganheartsyouux Not even
What he said about having scary band directors is true! Mr. Noies is quiet scary when hes mad! Hes my percussion teacher!
Good times :) I'm gonna miss being in this band when I go to college. So many great memories.

dude i go there and just the graduating class alone is about 2500. The band contains about 800 or 900 and theyre from all HS grade levels.
@emilyisatexasgirl Haha Totally! to think its only a high school band, and the biggest one in the U.S! I'm so fortunate to be a part of it
I wish our band had this many members D:
well, there is only one high school in Allen,
that's why their band is so HUGE. :D
@crazyweathergirl You should search for our show last year. That is the exact sensation we aimed for with our first note haha :)
There is no 6a in Texas 5a schools are the largest the most recent cut of put it at 1800 total students between 4a and 5a
It must be a huge deal to be a section leader in this band, especially for the trumpets. Always alot o them.
AMAZING.... Ahh!!! You guys are my marching band idol! I wish Greendale had that many! It would be amazing!
I LOVE LIVING IN ALLEN! WE HAVE AN AWESOME BAND AND AN AWESOME HIGH SCHOOL AND AWESOME BAND!
GO EAGLES!
I would debate that my band is louder, but then I saw it stretches to both end zones. I'll take it back.
The reason we have such a large band is because we have very inclusive (and very scary!) band directors
Our band is very close to this many people but we can't put them all on the field. We only march about half because if we put everyone on the field, we can't keep formations and it looks sloppy but this band. Wow... Very clean looking.
I feel sorry for the drill writer who attempts to make any sort of meaningful sets for their shows xD
@hchase22679 thank you so much! i felt that this was a lot better than last years show, carmen.
@MephilesTheDark647
You have to give them the scary part. I certainly wouldn't want to cross 'em
i seriously need to see y'all live. everyone says the first note is so powerful it;s like your face is being slammed against a brick wall. lol. too cool. =)
I would hate to be in this band... Too big. My band is only 42 members and we are great!
@Narutohi67 - Payment for being in a high school marching band? No, there is no payment
I gonnabe goin there In 3 years by the way check out their new stadium their building
@YayIblowupthings lol we only have 5 trombones and switched them to baritones
Dang! This band has taken "the more the Merrier" to an untouchable extreme!!! :O
music and sound id give them a 8 out of 10 ...marching they get a 2 out of 10
Not to be mean, but there was a slight tempo tear, the lines were sloppy, and the guard was horridly out of sync.
I feel bad for the judges who have to keep track of all that shit....
@shell8402 Identify yourself! Who are you and what do you play?? :)
I believe we are at 800. Back when I was in it , we had like 650.
I would like a band like this try to face off against Avon lol !!
yet they are still 5A. ;p
this must be everyone in that school.
Wow nice band. Our school had 240 on the field last year but this is even larger!
@emilyisatexasgirl Haha Heaven knows why. I have no idea.
@Narutohi67 For real? Wow I can't imagine what thats like
Good God, that's freaking huge. There's no room for any field judges...haha
I hope that's the first game.. the gaurd i can't even
i feel bad for the judges judging the marching lol
Bet the music stores are booming in the area !
