Local bands set sights on postseason success By ALLEN LAMAN alaman@dcherald.com
Saturday performance schedule
The 44th annual ISSMA Marching Band season gets rolling this month, with a total of 167 bands from across the state competing in one of the ISSMA’s three divisions. That group includes the four marching bands from Dubois County high schools. Three bands in the area will compete in the open class: Southridge and Forest Park are slated to perform in Class D, while Jasper will perform in Class B. Like athletics, open classes A through D are determined by school size, and the state championships will be Saturday, Oct. 28, at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. Before Indy, bands must advance through regional and semistate contests. The regional competitions separate the state’s bands into north and south divisions, and the top 10 from each class move onto semistate. That number is cut in half following the semistate performances, and the best 10 from each class earn a spot to perform at the state finals. Northeast Dubois will compete in the scholastic small class, an alternative means of competition for programs whose directors opt out of the open class. While the open class uses only school enrollment to determine class placement, scholastic class uses both school enrollment and band enrollment to place the bands. Scholastic A (large), for example, includes
12:05 p.m. Northeast Dubois 12:18 p.m. Reitz Memorial 12:31 p.m. Salem 12:57 p.m. Southwestern 1:10 p.m. Charlestown 1:23 p.m. Eastern (Pekin) 1:36 p.m. New Albany (Scholastic class awards) 2:54 p.m. Orleans 3:07 p.m. Southridge 3:20 p.m. Springs Valley 3:46 p.m. Paoli 3:59 p.m. Tell City 4:12 p.m. Forest Park 4:25 p.m. Pike Central 4:51 p.m. Boonville 5:04 p.m. Princeton 5:17 p.m. Bedford North Lawrence 5:30 p.m. Jasper 5:43 p.m. Evansville Central (Open class awards)
which will be at Lawrence Central High School in Indianapolis on Saturday, Oct. 22. The winner will receive an invitation to perform its routine before the open state finals at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indy. ISSMA also offers a noncompetitive
Festival Class that is intended to give the groups feedback and evaluation based on their music quality and performance. No local bands compete in that division. Heritage Hills, like last year, is not marching this season.

programs that would be in Open Class A or B programs based on school enrollment, but their bands’ membership can’t exceed 110 total members. Scholastic B (small) covers bands that would be in Open Class C or D but have less than 55 total members. The preliminary round is Saturday, Oct. 8 — locally, a contest is set for Jerry Brewer Alumni Stadium in Jasper — and schools that earn a gold rating advance to the finals,

Fans were reflected in junior Nick Hedinger’s bass drum as the Marching Wildcats performed during Jasper’s game against Boonville at Jerry Brewer Alumni Stadium on Sept. 2. Competing in Class B, the Marching Wildcats will perform at 5:30 p.m. Saturday.
Wildcats offer up fantasy-laced performance Show Title: “A Mid-Autumn Night’s Dream” Repertoire: “October” by Eric Whitacre, “Celestial Night” by Richard Danielpour, “Only in Sleep” by Eriks Esenvalds, and “Whirlybird” by Todd Stalter. Fairies, sprites and general woodland magic were some of the words that came to director James Goodhue’s mind when he described “Mid-Autumn’s Night Dream,” this year’s Jasper High School marching band performance. Goodhue explained the fantasy laced show guides the audience from dusk through a dark night and into the next morning’s sunrise. “It’s not a dud,” Goodhue said. “We’ve had shows before that just weren’t very good, but this one seems like it has good variety and pacing to it.” He noted that the music in “October” is subdued and pretty, even nostalgic. But the sound quickly turns dark and aggressive in “Celestial Night,” and dives even deeper as the night progresses. The Marching Wildcats compete in Indiana State School Music Association Class B and have performed in the state competition annually since 1990. They won their last state championship in 2012, and took home fourth place at the ISSMA contest last season. Baritone player Noah Wright is the lone soloist in the 143-member band, and steals the spotlight several times throughout the group’s performance. Though it doesn’t follow a specific narrative, Goodhue said Wright’s role is based on Puck, a mischievous character in Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” and is essential to the routine’s progression. “He has his own choreography, and he’s featured playing throughout the show,” Goodhue said. “He has his own thing going on.” The band is young: It lost almost 50 graduating seniors this year. Goodhue explained the turnover makes learning the routine a longer process and also makes it difficult to generate the effects that a larger band can produce. But with the final touches still being added, he said he likes how everything is piecing together.

Who’s counting? Band scoring gets complicated By ALLEN LAMAN alaman@dcherald.com When asked about Indiana State School Music Association’s scoring system, Southridge High School marching band director Lannie Butler lets out a nervous laugh. “I try to write it out for my parents, because every year it’s confusing,” he said. “It never has been simple. But it’s a little more complicated now.” Butler hands out fliers to Southridge parents with huge blocks of text. About halfway through, he asks, “Did you get all of that?” Essentially, this is the message: Instead of competing head-to-head like sports teams, marching bands are evaluated on an individual basis in three categories: music, visuals and general effect.
“You’re really competing against a standard,” he said. “Marching band competition is very subjective. In sports, two teams play and whoever scores the most points wins. There are certainly points involved (in marching competition), but it’s an art, so that’s certainly hard to judge. But we want to compete, so that’s part of the game.” The standard of excellence is determined by the ISSMA, which consists of Indiana’s band, orchestra and choral teachers. At competitions, six judges evaluate each band using ISSMA’s rubrics. The highest rating per category is five. The final score is based on a 100-point scale with 60 percent based on music evaluations and 40 percent based on visuals, which include set design, color guard performance and marching. The effect category takes music and visuals into consider-
E R N Y S H E E T M E TA L , IN C.
ation to evaluate the overall routine. To get a perfect score, music, visuals and effect are further broken down. In the music category, the bands are evaluated on how well the instruments blend together and the difficulty of their repertoire. The visual category analyzes the color guard’s choreography, how well the band marches together, and the set design. “You could win one category, but somebody else could be higher in another,” Butler said. “Because you have six judges and those all go together to make your final score, it’s really a blend.” Butler explained that the competitions the bands competed in before the ISSMA contests are the equivalent of a football team’s regular season. The bands receive a placement and specific distinctions, such as best visuals and best percussion among
others. None of that matters at the season’s end. The open class regional contest and scholastic open prelims kick off the marching bands’ postseason and no matter how a band has performed during the season, a gold rating and a top ranking are the only way to guarantee progression.

Southridge High School freshman Tyler Brown, left, and sophomore Juana Sandoval performed during the marching band’s halftime show on Oct. 1. Performing in Class D, the Marching Raiders take the field at Jerry Brewery Alumni Stadium at 3:07 p.m. Saturday.
Marching Raiders take a walk on the wild side Show Title: “Wild Garden in a Formal Setting” Repertoire: “Garden of Adventure”, “Firestorm”, “Garden of Magic”, and “Garden of Shadows.” All music arranged by Joe Phelps and Lannie Butler. The Southridge Marching Raider Band’s performance centers on an English garden, but as Director Lannie Butler learned while researching the performance, there are a couple philosophies of what an English garden should be. “One philosophy is to have it very formal, symmetrical and organized,” Butler said. “And another one is to have it wilder — some exotic plants and flowers. When we saw that concept we went with it.” This dichotomy of formal versus wild is explored throughout the routine. A couple
enters the garden at the beginning of the performance, and both the garden and the music change as they journey through its different parts. “It’s kind of like you saw an abandon English garden and it came to life,” Butler said. “Then it disappears at the end and goes back to normal.” The music accompanying the adventure portion of the garden is filled with wonder, while the wilder side is visited in the percussion-heavy “Firestorm,” for example. The band will visualize the garden in a few ways, and it will transform with the tone of the music. In the beginning, hedge props decorate the field and band members lay as pathways to its center. The color guard also uses distinct, rose-themed flags throughout the routine “It’s deep, man,” Butler said with a
laugh. “It’s the garden, you know you’ve got to dig it.” Band Roster: Drum Major: Katelyn Neukam, Marco Rocha Flute: Katelyn Neukam, Lauren Bailey and Vanessa Avalos Clarinet: Emily Winstead, Phillip Hartwick, Brianna Stasel and Leah Wagner Bass Clarinet: Joe Masariego Alto Saxophone: Marco Rocha, Chris Dutton, Rhiley Peters Tenor Saxophone: Alex Nunez and Adolfo Gomez Baritone Saxophone: Jorge Dubon Trumpet: Nathan Bromm, Gavin Deno, Elisha Painter, Elizabeth Fleck, Tyler Brown and Catie Pauckner.

Forest Park freshman Sarah Buechler ran through the band’s new routine “Jewel Tones” during the marching band’s summer band camp in Ferdinand. Competing in Class D, the Marching Rangers perform at 4:12 p.m. on Saturday. Below: Forest Park seventh grader Brice Austin spun jewel props during the Marching Rangers halftime show on Sept. 23.
Marching Rangers set to perform polished jewel Show Title: “Jewel Tones” Repertoire: “Mishima” by Phillip Glass, “Hymn to a Blue Hour” by John Mackey, “Harmonium” by John Adams, and “Jewel Tones” by Chad Gayso and Dave Nelson Diamonds, sapphires, emeralds, rubies and amethysts are jewels you’d usually find on a ring or a necklace, but the Forest Park Marching Rangers bring them onto the playing field in their show titled “Jewel Tones.” “There isn’t a story or anything like that, but there are different themes throughout the show and different moods that highlight the gemstones,” said Director Chad Gayso. The Rangers have won the Class D state championship each of the last four years. The sound of the show’s opening diamond movement is mysterious with a dark tone and is followed by a ballad filled with sapphire and emerald imagery. It concludes with an upbeat, high-energy number accompanied by red and purple jewels. Gayso said the group also utilizes four, 12-foot tall gemstone props — assembled by the students’ parents — to visualize the gems and their respective movements as well as a tarp with a geometric design coated with angular shapes that mimic the cut of diamond ring. “Everything on the field is really bright, shiny and reflective,” Gayso said. Gayso said one of the band’s biggest challenges this season has been related to the weather — lots of rain made it hard to practice outside throughout the season. Like most of the other bands, the Rangers are still working on the show’s final movement. But with the skies clearing in the past several days, he’s excited for the finish. “I think everyone is going to love the
closer,” Gayso said. “The students seem to really like it.”

Northeast Dubois eighth-grader Jason Knowles, center, played the baritone saxophone during practice at Northeast Dubois High School in Dubois in September. Competing in the scholastic small class, the Marching Jeeps perform at 12:05 p.m. Saturday.
Marching Jeeps looking to connect the dots Show Title: “Connect the Dots” Repertoire: “Little Fuge in G Minor” by Johann Sebastian Bach, “Ave Maria” by Franz Schubert, “Praeludium No. 1” by Johan Sebastian Bach, “Toccata and Fuge in D Minor” by Johann Sebastian Bach. The Marching Jeeps performed songs made famous by the Jackson 5 in 2015, but this year they’re taking a classical approach. “It’s a more complete show from a competitive standpoint,” Director David Fox said. “The drill is so challenging in instances — how big of steps they take and how fast they have to move. There’s a lot of demand there from a visual standpoint too.”
The show is dubbed “Connect the Dots.” Fox explained that the 30 performers march through a field of dots throughout the show, much like a maze. The performers physically connect in the same way they connect the music’s sixteenth-note driven sound. “Musically and visually there is a lot of coordination — between the dots and the actual written music itself,” Fox said. The first and third movements feature a chamber ensemble to sax solos and a slew of staggered entrances, climaxing about three-quarters of the way through. Fox added that the middle movement adds a nice, calm contrast to the performance. “It’s a very high-demand show, especially for a small group, where you can get
skewered or butchered for having one or two things going wrong,” Fox said. “It’s a very risky show in that regard.” He’s happy with the work the band has done. The band competes in the ISSMA Scholastic Small Class. The Jeeps will compete in the class prelims at Jasper High School on Saturday, Oct. 8.
