As far as the tenors go. They haven't had tenors in a few years on the field. They still use them in parades, but they have a very strict rule that if they can't field a clean set of tenors for performance, they will not use ANY tenors. The first time I saw this was in 2006 for their Aqua performance and when I asked the Band Director (Scott Tomlinson at the time) about the tenors, what I told you is exactly what he told me.
To answer comments or questions about the cost of all the equipment and visuals (I'm a pride alumni myself [class of '94 drumline, yea i know i'm old]) And about no tenors. To answer question 1.) These kids do a whole lot of fundraising starting as far back as 8th grade and they have a private account that they and their parents can chip-in to and via parents working the concessions during football games. In fact, most of the money for equipment and visuals are wholly paid for by the students.
@pchsalumni This show deserved 1st place at Grand Nationals. Not because of money, but because it's imaginative and good. It is widly felt that BOA favors certain bands. I just came back from the Grand Nationals 2011 and sadly I agree. This show is very good though. I really enjoyed every band I saw. All were outstanding. I like Union's show better than BA's this year and Lafayette's, as well as The Woodlands deserved to be in the top five.
Oh my. Learn brass? I think I'd almost have better luck learning color guard-ness. I can hardly get a solid tone out of my dad's Boy Scout bugle, much less control what note I make. I suppose it doesn't help much though that some of the tubing is missing....and replaced with tubing from a cow milker. And I'm pretty sure the mouthpiece got bent and is suck in the opening. Poor bugle...it is quite old.
