More suitable for Speakeasy under a "Marching Band Performance Thread". I'll have ours up in a few days once I get the official recording. Unfortunately Michigan does not have a state competition for MSBOA Marching Bands, but we did receive a Division I, the highest, for the first time in over 10 years.
Your band needs a more rounded sound, we have brass overpowering everything. This wouldn't be a big issue if tone wasn't awful. Surprising you qualified for States, but your band has good marching form. Soloists need to be prouder. Focus on articulating clearly so that we can hear the definition between notes. Also, your Drum Majors have the weirdest and most unreadable conducting style ever. They seriously need to understand how hard it is to define beats if they conduct in circles.
Curious-What do you play?
