ARSENAL D&BC
Arsenal Drum & Bugle Corps wowed crowds in their first competition season, heading all the way to the Division III finals to give the audience "human" excellence. And excellence was what this ensemble was about, consistently doing amazing from start to finish.
We're proud to announce their new S33 show "Frozen Journey."
Frozen Journey tells a story of a man's travels in a vast wintry kingdom. In this snow he discovers poverty, oppression, and war. As he travels, he warms the hearts of many- and soon he finds himself a figurehead for the people against the oppressive Queen of the Snow.
This journey will be revolutionary.
Repertoire for Frozen Journey:
Lux Aurumque - Eric Whitacre
Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini - Sergei Rachmaninov
Prelude in C Sharp Minor - Sergei Rachmaninov
Piano Concerto No. 2 - Sergei Rachmaninov
Swan Lake Suite - Peter Tchaikovsky
The Battle on the Ice - Sergei Profokiev
Firebird Suite - Igor Stravinsky
We hope to see you on the 50!

THE ARTILLERY IPE
After fighting all through S32 for their freedom, The Artillery IPE went to the Division III finals and threw down with sick beats. The ring was theirs for 7 minutes and the fight was like a UFC match. Blood was shed.
Enough where The Artillery IPE got a 1 point penalty.
The Artillery then came to establish themselves as a group that meant business. A group that was badass beyond measure. To continue with that, The Artillery IPE is proud to announce their S33 show, "Renegade."

Can't wait to throw down again this season.

FORZA WINTERGUARD
After making the audience remember their lame teenage lives and reflect on how it could have been, Forza made a lot of folks cry in the Division III FMA S32 finals.
Ready to make you cry again, Forza Winterguard is proud to announce their S33 show, "Boy Meets Girl."
"Boy Meets Girl" will be mainly inspired by (500) Days of Summer, and will have quite a bit of Regina Spektor and other songs.
Bring tissues when you come to see them. The feels are reals.

GLASS HS MARCHING BAND
Glass High School really "climbed" this S32 by establishing themselves as a good band for their first year. They competed in UIL Region 69, receiving straight ones. Glass HS went to BOA San Antonio as well, and got 28th overall out of 69 competing bands. At FMA, the band went all the way to the Division III Finals and performed admirably for the audience.
This S33, the staff of Glass HS are ready to lead their band to it's very first UIL State Marching Band Championships.
Their show is "Spartacus" by Gary P. Gilroy.
