Re: High School Drumlines/Marching Bands
Back in the day, my old team FRC118 had its very own drumline performing at competition in the stands. Most of the members on the team were from band and somehow most of our drumline at Clear Creek High School ended up on the team and so for a season or two we had a pretty much complete line in the stands.
Because of us there was a rule written in the Manual.
3.17
Do not invite or bring live bands to play in the audience. This dilutes the presentation on the playing field and is too loud and confusing for the audience.
But every year our Wind Ensemble's trip would fall under Atlanta and our Regional would fall under our UIL so students would usually choose one or the other but in few cases like in '06, a few students flew to Chicago for their performance and then flow straight to Atlanta minutes after to spend some of Friday and Saturday with the team. But in the end, it usually works out in the best interest of the student. Those who usually went to competition ended up getting full scholarships in music while those who went to Atlanta usually majored in engineering or something of the nature.
