I felt like Scheherazade was being left out in place of the 2010 show (I didn't even notice it was 2010 until Sarah pointed it out...)

We should make a movie trailer for it.

<Deep Voiceover>

"In 2008, you saw GBHS rise higher than before." (flash some pictures of Pandora's Box with cool wooshing sound effects)

"Now, see them do it again with...Scheherazade!" (Play cool part of music in background, flash some more pictures with even more wooshes)

<Mr. Mac>

Well y'all, I reckon 'dis year'sa gonna be great"

<Other filler stuff, complete with wooshes, clicks, suspenseful choral music, voiceovers, explosions, fades, cheesy catchphrases, Morgan Freeman, all the elements of a modern movie trailer>

<Section leader, shouting across a widening crevice in the desert to an upcoming freshman>

"Practice! Hurry before it's too late!"

<Upcoming freshman>

"No! I can't! I can't memorize!"

<Section Leader>

"Just do it!"

<Freshman pulls out an instrument, plays it, and is carried across the chasm on the intensity of the music>

<More section leader action, explosions, (maybe combining the two?) Arabian virgins getting beheaded, etc.>

<Deep voiceover guy returns>

"To prove it wasn't a fluke, the band must work harder than before...and fend off an unseen foe..."

<Cut to lead director of AAC in a sheik costume and a scimitar around his belt>

"They must not be allowed to continue. Stop them...<strokes pointed beard> at all costs!"

<Fade to line of drum majors during awards, GB and AAC DMs in the middle, with no trophies when everyone else around them has them. Fade, then change angles with that "pachoo" sound. Change angles about four times for effect as the judges announce>

"And the winner...of the 2009 Chapter IX Chapter Championship...is..."

<Blackout, magic lamp/show shirt image slowly fades in>

"Scheherazade 2009. Get Ready."

Ignore that last one. All of my instructions in angle brackets got taken out. Shoo.

Here's what I had...

(Deep Voiceover)

"In 2008, you saw GBHS rise higher than before." (flash some pictures of Pandora's Box with cool wooshing sound effects)

"Now, see them do it again with...Scheherazade!" (Play cool part of music in background, flash some more pictures with even more wooshes)

(Mr. Mac "interview")

Well y'all, I reckon 'dis year'sa gonna be great"

(Filler material, complete with wooshes, clicks, fadeouts, bright and disorienting flashes of light, intense choral music, explosions, cheesy catchphrases, helicopters, a chase scene, Morgan Freeman, and any other elements of a good trailer I forgot)

(Cut to section leader and incoming freshman on opposite sides of a widening chasm in the desert sands)

(Section Leader)

"Practice! Hurry before it's too late!"

(Freshman)

"No! I can't! I can't memorize!"

(Section Leader)

"Just do it!!"

(Freshman takes out instrument, plays it, and is carried across the chasm on wings of song right before an explosion rips through where he was just standing)

(More section leader action! And explosions! (maybe get both together?))

(Cut to company front of us at dark)

(Voiceover guy)

"To prove it wasn't a fluke, the band must work harder than before...and fend off an unseen foe..."

(Cut to AAC Drum Major in sheik costume, scimitar around his/her waist)

"They must not be allowed to continue. Stop them... at all costs!"

(Show the line of DMs as judges are announcing awards. At night, of course, maybe with rain and lightning. Stay at one angle for a few seconds, give a "pashoo" noise and fade to a new angle. Do this a few times.)

"And the winner...of the 2009 Chapter IX Chapter Championship...is..."

(Blackout, slowly have show shirt design fade in)

"Scheherazade 2009. Get Ready."

Cory - Come on, did the phrase, (Mr. Mac "interview") Well y'all, I reckon 'dis year'sa gonna be great," really have to have the southern hillbilly connotation? 

Otherwise, it is a good idea.  We need to get Don LaFontaine (voiceover actor) for the trailer.  This is the guy that always starts trailers with, "In a world.......with hungry people........there was only one man.......that could stop the hunger........he is.......The Hot Dog Vender!

Hey, I reckon it takes 'un ta know 'un. I come from over yonder too.

I'll be seein' ya directly.

Well technically its the 09-10 show so it could still be considered the 2010 show RIGHT??? Well I say if we start fundraising now we could afford two more marching tubas and have a CONTRA LINE!!!!!!! Can you say ripples? But I don’t know, Sousaphones are cool right? BTW Jupiter makes a killer Marching Tuba. The Quantum series of course not their baby tubas.

Well actually I'd like anything hahaha, just preferably a marching tuba no converter.
