2018 Normal Marching Band Invitational
saxyman replied to NormalWestBands's topic in Contests/Scores
I'm excited to see the combined band perform. Both individual programs have been great, so it'd be fantastic to have another Illinois band performing at a higher level, not to mention an even more exciting ISU finals. -

This is good news. I'm intrigued to see this. 6A at ISU and 4A at BOA events. It'll open up a new finalist spot at ISU as well for 1A-4A, and make 5A-6A just that more difficult.

Hello! My name is Todd Schultz and I am in my first year at De La Salle Institute in Chicago. It is a Catholic school in Chicago's Bronzeville area. I am working on my goals for the program, which include bringing back a color guard program, and developing a competitive marching program. Down the road, I am looking to start a fall competitive program, a WGI Winds program, a fall color guard, and winter guard, and a winter drumline. At this point, the band has not competed on the field for many years. I am looking to assemble a staff for next year that includes a percussion instructor, a color guard instructor, and 2 field/music instructors. If you are an individual that is looking to work with a great group of students, and building a program from the ground up, please reach out to me at schultzt@dls.org. Thanks! Todd

Interested in which group didn't belong in your humble opinion?

Watching that final, it was pretty apparent there was a band that didn't belong in that group. The fact that Homestead was outside looking in was wrong. That said, easily the best semi-finals I've ever seen, and O'Fallon was outstanding. I hope they continue to improve, cause they would have been just as exciting to watch in that finals as others, if not more than at least one group.

Semi Results 12th - Roundrock - 89.8 13th - Homestead - 89.5 14th - O'Fallon - 89.05 15th - Owasso - 88.05
