I love the ending from about 6:45 on. Especially at 6:58 that robotic visual. The ending is just epic. The crowd was going wild. You all were definately the most entertaining of the night..You can tell the band loved the show. This is why you all did so well. You have to love what you are doing in order to succeed at it...
I feel so accomplished. I learned so much about being a musician by getting that one. I can die peacefully now. You clearly don't understand what I'm getting at, you'd have to be there. . .
I know it's stupid to post comments on the videos you post yourself but whatever. This band has come a long way. I remember seeing em like the past 3 years at Pigskin and getting 2s. I always knew they had potential. Their new director Mr. Aldape is my uncles brother in law's brother... and he is so talented.You can tell his creativity exploded with this amazing band! (Weslaco)! Fantastic job guys! Best wishes! All the way to State! You all deserve it!!!!
Awh i miss machines!! our show was hardcore, and thanks to our new band director, the band improved greatly from the year before, thanks for posting this up! WPC #1
exactly, if you see the shows that make it to state, its nothing like this. I remember seeing Marcus High School, the music was beautiful, it was literally like watching a top notch concert band on the field.
dude, it's simple math loud + fast + flashy visuals = good job in educating your student musicians duh! don't you know that that's all that matters in life? getting a 1 and looking cool so you can get that plus rep with people that don't know anything!
What the troll of an OP didn't do was get a recording of the standing ovation that this band got immediately following the performance. I'm sorry, but from what I heard, we were the only band to receive one that night :P
i know! they were fantastic . without being negative, the only thing i would change was their marching. its a big sloppy but the entire show was amazing. if they work on marching perfectly they will definately be at state
Is the director a Phantom Regiment alum? Alot of the visuals are from Phantom, like the knee twist and even the ending move. Just wondering. Good job WPC, see you all on saturday :)
its that kind of mentality that gets WPC your division 2's and 3's...its not about majoring in music. its about not embarrassing yourself in front of everyone and caring about what you do. weslaco will never know what success is until people start caring like they used to. I've looked at region and district results and maybe 1 person makes it. thats pathetic. when i was at whs, you had to go to region just to be considered for honors band. now its whoever they can get. its time for a big change.
I totally agree with you. The Weslaco band had a very entertaining show last year but if you had to break it down to fundamentals, they deserved a 2. I was pretty happy to see that they didn't make it to state because their volume had no control whatsoever, and their marching was horrible! Sure the visuals were cool and the music had potential but they have a lot to work on.
calm down, just because you get a 1, for 1 year doesn't mean you are an amazing band. Look at Porter this year, their band is horrible; who knows how they pulled off that one. Weslaco is a work in progress. They have a lot of work to do before they can be THE BEST. Plus; noone can ever top the valley greats; Harlingen, Rio Hondo, Roma, Donna, Harlingen South and Hanna.
your motive is idiotic. look at bands like harlingen, south, hanna, they all march amazing shows. even edinburg, sharyland.... they have fun and do it right
Yeah but this is their show last year. They only made it to area. If they actually took the constructive criticism people gave them they could have advanced to state. I tink they focused TOO much on visuals
How about that WHS concert band! Woooooo!!! Straight 3s! That's real musicianship right there! For the amount of time this band put in, this show was very poor. Nothing really "improved" from previous years, and the musicianship is probably even lower than before, which is saying a lot. Anybody could have done this if their sole purpose was getting a 1 and ignoring every other aspect of band and school.
I really wish this band would stop marching corp style. This band has SO MUCH POTENTIAL! I agree completely with carlos312. This band has to work alot with dynamics. So far terraced dynamics are there(one point loud one point soft). Timing is really bad especially at 3:55, trumpets are completely out of time. And yes they very much deserved to get a two in 2007. Sorry to say it guys, but corps style is very much out of date. Visuals are cool, but musicality is graded more!

Agreed on the visuals and passion!!!
Ahh Nostalgia
you can tell. A lot of the visuals are from PR. they look amazing. especially the last one. where they kneel. fantastic
it would be nice if the people that have commented on this checked out the WPC now
gives me chills every time I watch it!!
I saw this band play at area
I feel so accomplished. I learned so much about being a musician by getting that one. I can die peacefully now. You clearly don't understand what I'm getting at, you'd have to be there. . .
I remember this at USSBA in Tyler, the Jazz Run was like HOLYFUCKOMG.

chills...
way too cool
Have been a part of the band, especially the concert band.
exactly, if you see the shows that make it to state, its nothing like this. I remember seeing Marcus High School, the music was beautiful, it was literally like watching a top notch concert band on the field.
beast of a trumpet player on that solo, by the way.
Wow. Good job! I Really enjoyed watching this. Those visuals were fun =)
I really like those songs, you guys didn't do a bad job.
Actually, TWO good years now.
very true
in california, this band would be sweeping first place haha
dude, it's simple math
loud + fast + flashy visuals = good job in educating your student musicians

Idc what anyone says! I'm proud to have marched WPC and "The Machines"!!!(:

So are we!
Which band are you from? :3 We'll see ya there~
Yeah, I know how that feels too. But I didn't get it from being in this band.
Pace is trying BOA for 2009. Watch out.
All these comments are rubbish. Quit arguing.

Ok. ?? lol wow. Pace has ONE good year and suddenly they're so cocky
Yeah but this is their show last year. They only made it to area. If they actually took the constructive criticism people gave them they could have advanced to state. I tink they focused TOO much on visuals

Thats what I said but their arrogant band members cant see that. They think theyre the best and fundamentals dont count
