Eric French been in the game since I was in school. He is amazing and his program is a reflection of that. Deonte Kennedy has been showing that he can compete with the GOATs, and the program he has is showing the passion he and they have. I am blessed to know them both personally and those kids are blessed to be under such amazing leadership. Great job from directors and both programs!

Carver with the W. But Great Job from both groups. They were just overall cleaner. And more powerful. Craigmont wasn’t as clean as they were against Abe. Too many “bad” hangovers, trumpets missing and b-tones have bad attack and releases at times missing consistently. Craigmont Tubas and bones sound amazing though. Mellos are good too. Trumpets are a good group but had a bad performance. Carver Tubas are obviously their weak link. And everything else sounds amazing. I heard no missing with their screamers like Craigmont, no bad hangovers. B-Tone section sounds like one big b-tone. Mellos are solid. Bones sound good.

You’ve always been biased If it’s a NOLA band against an out of town band, you always nitpick what the out of town band but don’t do the same for NOLA band.

@@Nahakukineare the other 6+ also biased? 🤣 When two bands are battling that are fairly close to each other in quality the only way to determine a winner IS to nitpick the mistakes. At this level the only way to determine a winner is to see who has the most mistakes.
@Nahakukine4 ай бұрын
The other 6 are biased too. Y’all NOLA folk don’t like taking L’s from out of town bands. Y’all summer band took an L and yall couldn’t accept it. It’s no different here, especially since one of the directors that gave you the L this summer is also the director that’s handing L’s during Mardi Gras season. Y’all make excuses all day long. Also Carver ran after 5 rounds. They weren’t jumping in the parade. They were out of steam and book. They battled St. Aug for 2 rounds and turned towards us, realizing they was out their depth as far as going at least 10 rounds with a beast like Craigmont. They’re so fortunate to have die hard fans like you to give them excuses for not being able to push forward against a real winning band. They knew they were losing, that’s why they ran. Y’all just mad that the hype of Craigmont was real and yall just didn’t have an answer for anything they threw at yall. Example: Carver’s Water arrangement was poo Craigmonts Water arrangement was far more superior due to actually having woodwinds to balance out the arrangement into a great hit. Carver has no woodwinds because the director doesn’t know how to utilize them in any arrangement. That’s why his Water arrangement failed horribly against ours. It’s sounds good to you NOLA folk just having straight power and that’s it but Craigmont got power and balance and you just didn’t have answers for it. So take this L and try again next year. Hell, since you so smart, why don’t you go help them be better. That way when they take an L next year, you’ll have no excuses.

@user-wg4pw9oq3x4 ай бұрын
Seems like Craigmont had more finesse and Carver was more on power. Craigmont's versatility is obvious and I think they played more complex arrangements too. It was nice to hear some different songs for a change down here. I'm betting that they probably have a deep book. I expect most everyone will be biased with their picks based on pride and because that's just how it happens in these social media spaces. But if we're being honest Craigmont sounded good and brought something different to the table instead of the same old retread songs we hear over and over down here and that was refreshing. Carver was good doing their thing too but again it seems like they are limited in selections if we are being honest. Like they ran out of new material. I know that Carver folks will say that if they play Mary Had A Little Lamb clean as a whistle they should get credit for that so I won't even argue the depth in book point again. They were in that safe zone again as they tend to do and it is what it is. But overall nice battle. As always it will come down to preference. Props to both bands.

Man i have come to really like this Craigmont School. This is a great battle. Craigmont with the W. I like carver power but the arrangements gets muddy and unclear in the voicing. It’s really hard to stop craigmont when they have so many weapons to push out a good sound. The wood winds, the TUBAS. Those sections make a big difference when you have good trombones. Now don’t get me wrong carver was Good but there were just as many intonation problems with them so to nitpick Craigmont and not them is not fair. The” Water “ comparison sealed it for me. Craigmont has the whole package. I see why they say that dude is arrogant. He can teach.
