@borderlineoutcast3905 The drill was more complex and we competed on a state level and would win best in state for our division. Instead of just a 1 in region
Sadly we cut the middle school bands so the freshman and sophomores don't have as much training and skill when we start. (im a freshman)@@chadwilliamson2810
This is the one and only time out of about 50 times I've seen Nederland that they've had an interesting drill and interesting music. This is quite good. Clearly they had a different director back when this was made -- it looks almost like something Charles Smith might have designed for the classic Vidor bands. It's a shame whomever the current Nederland director is can't design something interesting for all the talent they have. It seems their only care in today's world is getting a 1 at UIL no matter how dull the drill and music is/are.
The only care the directors at Nederland have is educating students. Military Bands Automatically lose points at the Area and State Level so they cut ties and focus on All-Region and concert band.
@@ryanmetts434 military bands now have a separate competition for state they also do not compete at an area competition because of the small amount of military bands and I don’t know if you understand that when writing drill for bands specifically military bands there’s only so many drills that can be done and if you were a director or if you even tried writing drill you would know that there are only so many different marches and fanfares that are good and written for HIGH SCHOOLERS also there was so many mind bending or “entertaining” drills in the 1900s because you could punch a kid in the face for not hitting the yard line correctly and imagine what they did if kids couldn’t make the maneuvers the director was telling them about and Nederland has about 65 available videos on anything so the 50 interesting drills really is not a good point
The band director was Val Rose. I was a freshman this year. That is a complete different quality band than now.
Exactly wdym by different quality
