We’re
on our way! Movies are rolling as we angle back our
cushioned seats! |
| 12:00 noon |
We
arrive at the dome and go inside to use the rest room (last chance for
over a long while). We inspect the stadium.
Everyone checks out the markings on the field and imagine our
incredible performance. |
| 1:10 p.m. |
The band members leave the dome and proceed
to the Penske uniform truck (Parking Lot B) to suit out for prelims.
We then proceed to the buses and get our horns out from below.
Props and pit equipment will be loaded on the 18 wheeler over at
Parking Lot “A” which is the lot at the end of the tunnel. |

(for Clute!) and focusing on having a great warm-up. |
| 2:20 p.m. |
Warm-up.
The band is totally focused. Fans watch from
a distance, amazed at how focused BWood can
be. College music majors are asked to write a 12
page report on our procedures. Scientists are there
to measure the amazing levels of “focosity”
the band members posess. |

Performance.
We take the field, strut our stuff, and
climax three months of preparation. The Alamo Dome
becomes BWood’s
House. The band
from Brazoswood is so smoking that they singe the competition.
Bands from around the state quickly realize why so many consider
Brazoswood the hippest and the coolest! We can’t be
stopped! |
| 3:45 p.m. |
We
leave the field surrounded by thunderous applause and repeated standing
ovations. The crowd begins to chant
BWood!...BWood!...Bwood!
The chanting continues, but for the first time at a state
competition, the fans begin to shout Encore!...Encore!...Encore!
They beg to see it again!!! The
UIL announcer assures the fans they can come back at Finals and see the
show once more. A mass exodus occurs as fans rush to
buy Finals tickets. The stadium sells out in 10
minutes. |
| 3:50 p.m. |
The Buc
Band treks to the buses to put up their horns (Parking Lot B).
Everyone then travels to the uniform truck to hang up their bibbers and
coats on the same hanger on their assigned uniform rack.
We reenter the stadium as spectators dressed in black
shorts and band pirate t-shirt while fans rush to seek our
autographs. Security guards quickly rush us to a
back entrance and the Bucs find an area to be seated together |
| 5:00 p.m. |
Results
are announced. Was there ever any doubt? |
| 5:20 p.m. |
The Buc Band gathers
back at the buses in Parking Lot B. We grab our
last Bar-B-Que on a bun for the season.

One representative from each room gets the key.
On arrival, the band members will take only 20 minutes to
get ice and drinks and then everyone must be in their room! |
