Hello Bengals.  Its Matthew Olson yet again.  Lets recruit more people.  As the saying goes, "too many cooks spoil the soup."  And since were not making soup, its a good thing to have people.  Don't be afraid to drop me a line.  I am always open to talking to people no matter the subject: band to differential equations.

i think we need one more horn.  yep.  we have 4.  but if we could get 5, im pretty sure i would be the happiest person in the world.  there hasnt been 5 horns for 3 years (when i was in 8th grade).  a whole row! 
plus, we are the coolest section ever, just so you know.
and theres freaking awesome horn parts in the music.  well, at least thats what ive heard from listening to it.

so....moral of the story:

PLAY HORN!

as for leadership, i heard after break?  then again everyone hears a lot of things which never seem to be true. haha.
and as for the highlight vids, bon jovi is making them (as fa as i know).  But imagine how much time is needed to edit and burn about 100 copies of each of them.  and he has a job, so, cut him some slack.  after all, he's bon jovi

Well, this is definitely a blast from the past. This band was such a huge part of my high school career and I was just watching my "Les Miserables" video the other day.

What I'm wondering, is if anybody has a copy of the full orchestra's version of "Lord Of The Rings" that we did in... 2002 or 2003. I really want to listen to it and I think my CD got ruined. Thanks!

well, its finally here. the end of my marching band experiences...these were the greatest 4 years of my life so far, and i want to thank everyone for making that a true statement. for those who decide to continue, it is, omg i cant even describe it. marching band will be your second family. i can still remember when i did the be a marching bengal night, it was such an overwhelming experience. the band back then was a lot bigger (alot or a lot?) than it is now, and yes noraker was there. even though i played  tuba at the time, i had just switched from baritone so they put me on a marching baritone instead of a tuba. i recall lifting and thinking the 3\4 size tuba was 'unwieldy' and now the silver one i thought was monstrous feels like it weighs nothing at all. if only i could remember the tuba flip matt john taught me. i remember at the football game that night i nearly froze all i wore was a sweatshirt and it was like 30 out, and that was about 80 lbs ago, so i wasnt as well prepared for winter as i am now. heat week was a conflicting experience to say the least. i remember it was hotter than it was the past 3 years, and i was just dying. my parents showed up and i was like "please take me home now, PLEASE!" but i got through it. (that was the time when hustling did not just mean run back to your previous set, but run as fast as you can, and as a result of that, 1 girl got too injured to participate and had to quit marching band) (i also recall we started to play and march on the first day, and back then it was only a 4 day heat week not five, but somehow we managed to get so much done). wow i wish i had been able to think of all this for my senior bio which i wrote in a hurry before first hour the day it was due. so anyway marching band = good, staying in it = gooder, having fun with it = necessary,    for everything else, theres master card.

hey band its matt olson, one of youre super cool alumni staff here just to tell you guys a few things.

have tons of fun in marching band.  the end is coming up so soon you wont believe it.

have pride in yourself.  go out to very practice with the intention of getting better. actually think about what you personally need to work on.  it doesnt take thestaff to tell you what you need to work on.  its mainly individual mistakes now.

i cant stress this enough.  MENTAL REHERSAL!!!!  i know it sounds dumb to all those who havent done it but do it atleast twice a day.  that would take a total of what, 15 min?  isnt 15 min of your time worth the knowledge that you are giving almost as much as you can for the better of the band?

oh well.  and like i said to begin with, have fun.

ok, so. know how we have a like a bad luck show every year? pretty sure this could be it.  We were missing 2.5 bass drums. a flute, a clarinet (i think?), a trumpet and probably more.  THEN...EVERYONE basically was out of it afterwards from not being able to breath to twisted ankles and basically everything in between.  oh, and my stupid knee....what a poop.  BUT i heard we were 0.1 off from best percussion and 0.8 off from 1st place. i could have misheard, but that's what i heard.  so...DANG guys!!! you're amazing

hey guys, we got waseca tomorrow! so lets just really work hard, and do an even better show than last weekend. i know the rehearsals can be tough sometimes, but we can do it. lets push ourselves to the top and show mr. noraker how good we really can be. i know we can do it if we all put in all our effort. so lets do it, and beat out our class tomorrow! see you guys in the morning! good luck to all!

but despite all the weather choas, we all did awesome, even if we did get 5th place..who cares what place we get, yes we do all want first, but as long as we have an awesome performance like that, just knowing we did our absolute best is reward enough :)

sure we did actually go down a point from champlin, but scores arent everything, we know we had a awesome uberfilled performance and we don't need a bunch of judges to tell wether we did or not, oh and im also glad that whole crazy storm/tornado/apocalypse didnt out to be a big deal, i was imagining us performing the show and a tornado hitting and us getting sucked up into it. "keep the intervals. horn angles, a tornado is no excuse!"

Hey band!  Thanks for stepping things up at the show and congratulations for upping the bar just a little bit over last year.  Let's make this the best season ever.  Don't accept anything less than your best from yourself and your fellow members.

is it true about a judge saying something about someone in the drumline and there hair falling out, cauz i'm sry i have a lot of hair to fit in a hat and it was kinda falling out. so sry about that. i guess the show went better than i thought.

congratulations, band! pretty good score. i know noraker did have some comments for you... and i must say i do kinda agree. EVERYONE needs to put forth 100 % if not more. i believe that is the one thing that seperates you from being champion band. i say this not to be harsh, but when you finally graduate from this band, and come to a competition and watch for the first time, you will probably ask yourself "did i ever give my all?" the alumni sitting in the stands were soooo proud to have been in your shoes. they put forth a lot of effort to have gotten to where they are. in a few years, you'll hopefully be in their shoes. so to those who are giving 110%, i commend you for your hard work. to those giving only 90%, you know what you need to do.

regards,
jesse

sorry i take a long time to reply. i don't do this much, i'm too addicted to myspace haha...
but yes, orlando you're okay, because i can tell who you are and everyone else that knows you knows also.
but yeah.
i'm not like oh my gosh! YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO DO THIS! i'm just saying..it drives me nuts
(that's to everyone else, not you orlando)
anyhow..
scared rookie, don't worry about it...we're going to be great this year. i think it just seemed like that because most of them knew their whole show..
plus, most of the time, we arent even in the same class with a lot of those bands.
(we don't get judged in their group so they don't compete with us)
we're going to do great this year, it just all depends on how much work you put into it.
that's all.

did anyone else feel like the state fair parade this year was longer than the one last year? it may just feel that way to me because im out of shape, but did anyone else feel this way?

To the scared rookie, don't worry about it! There are always going to be bands that seem better than you, but there's always someone in the stands who thinks your band is the best. I think of field shows as learning experiences; they motivate you to work harder.

dang, we weren't so good compared to other bands, i am so worried that we won't do so good this season.

oh...that barn thing/canopy/shack. ok. there's an exploding fountain in there? how dangerous.


Name:  brian

if you will be able to remember, the exploding fountain i spoke of is , well was not sure about next year, inside that canopy barn type thing to the right of the stands in front of the field.

explaoding fountain?!  why wasn't I informed of an EXPLODING FOUNTAIN!?!?!?  oh, and brian, your stand-up was quite humerous, not gona lie.  How did you think heat week was harder this year?  I thought it was completly different, but then again i was with the band the whole time, last year we never were.  I can't quite put my finger on it, but things seemed so different this year. it was weird.  but i waS A GOOD WEEK.   dang, my caps went on. my bad!

Hey everyone. Great Job at Heat Week !!! You all worked hard and we did soo good !!! We are going to have a great season !!! Thanks to all the alumni and staff this week !


Name:  brian

man, my last heat week is over...it seems so weird to be a senior, to think ill never sleep on a pile of plastic mattresses again. heat week is very conflicting, i mean you work your backside off all week and most of the time your thinking 'man i just wanna go home' but at the same time its fun and you dont want to leave. it went by so fast too, every year it gets shorter, and worst of all, illl never experience the exploding fountain again.
