Each week, I will post questions, thoughts and links for you to read and make comments about. Each student can respond to a minimum of twice weekly. This can be counted as extra credit. Let me know if you have any questions about the current events blog. This can be done during our class time or you can work from home. As we explore many different aspects of reading, writing, and current events, I think you will enjoy reading a variety of articles.

The Rebel Regiment played in a competition Saturday and they seemed to have gotten an unfair shake. What do you think band members?

The Rebel Regiment had to of done better than chapin. Chapin won EVERYTHING in 3a class. Maybe the judges just didn't like the new cheoreography.
I dint think Chapin deserved all of those trophies. In my opinion I think that we did better than Chapin no affence to anyone but Chapin looked like they didnt know what they were doing.
I think that as a band member we deserve better then what we got. It was not fair that chapin got every trophy in 3a. I most deffinatly think that the colorguard deserved Best Guard. The guard that we did all week long took alot of work and we did really good. Saturday was the colorgurads best performance we have had all year. Mrs.Tammy our captains parent crying because we did so good. I know that it wasnt the bands best performance but it was still good. I wouldnt say the band did bad but there were things that went wrong. We had a disadvantage because we wernt use to performing in the day time with the heat. The heat and wind got to the woodwind section and the first song was not as good because of it but i still think we did better then what we got. Chapin is a good school and i have nothing agianst them. But a few weeks ago when we went to the chapin vs. mc game and they performed their show at half time, it was honestly terrible. The music sounds ok but they didnt look like they knew where they were suppose to be and the guard was most deffinatly not together. I honestly dont belive that they could get that good within 2 weeks. We only improved a couple of detailed things in 2 weeks. So i highly doubt its possibe to belive they made there whole show amazinly better. I know we stop got 5th we did do better then 4 other bands, according to the judges but our score could of been better and we should of performed agian in the finals. This weekend is Upperstate and we WILL do amazing, we WILL get a supieor, we WILL get Best Guard, and we WILL place in the top 6 and go to State. This week is going to be a hard week. The whole band is going to treat every practice like it is a competition, NO silly stuff. We WILL have a good week at practice and we WILL be ready for saturday. We WILL place and it WILL be the best performance we've had all year. Im really proud in the band, we have worked really hard this year and whatever happens at Upperstate we will still be a band family and work together to be even better next year.
I think that w e did great! We worked our butts off all week, and we improved since the first competition. We added a lot of new things, and our marching and music improved way more than expected. We all gave it our best, and still we got 5TH PLACE!! Out of the nine bands!!!!!!! To make it even more unfair (in my opinion) Chapin won EVERYTHING in 3a class! Maybe the judges didn't like some moves that we added, or maybe how we added more dynamics to the music, but it was unfair! Not to be rude or anything, but Chapin looked lost, and they were off step alot of times. They looked the same, and still they won everything! We should have at least gotten one of those awards, because every single person fixed at least one mistake during that competition. It really wasn't fair...I wouldn't have said this if maybe another band in class 3a won something, but Chapin won absolutely everything. It kinda makes them look like they cheated, or that the judges liked them the best, because there was no way they were absolutely perfect at everything. Or maybe it was that they didn't make any changes, making them improve more than working on new, different things, like we did. To make things worse, our band and other bands were saying really rude things about Chapin:/ I know we didn't win, and I know they scored us unfairly, but we should have at least kept our comments to ourselves. Rebel Regiment did do a lot better than Chapin. We added stuff, we practiced non-stop, and we gave it our very best just to be scored very, very unfairly. Maybe next week they'll be fair with us because this whole week, we are all gonna work really hard, we won't miss rehearsals, and we will fix everything the judges didn't like. We will work through any kind of weather and we are going to improve because we want to go to state and win! I'm not gonna let one unfair competition let me down, and it shouldn't really let the rest of the Rebel Regiment down either. The colorguard improved greatly, because one of the colorguard parents started to cry, because they were so good! We are gonna make a huge comeback for next Saturday. The colorguard will get the "Best colorguard" award they deserve, and we will get every single award we deserve next week, and we will make the top 6 bands next week. All we have to do is work really hard and give it our very best this whole week. Focus, work, and don't give up. That's al there is to it. Ready or not, here we come!
That's jacked up. Matter of fact, messed up. Our Rebel Regiment knows and everyone knows that our band deserves 1st place. Chapin got 1st, but that's ok as long as we finished in the top 5.
REBEL REGIMENT IS THE BESTEST BAND EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They deserve first place because they work so hard to entertain the crowds at half time. They do a good job because I have a short attention span and they can keep my attention longer than anime.

I think the band is not getting fair judgement. I have seen the band routine and its exellent. They should be giving every preformance a superior.
