Band that didn’t march on the field.
“So many kids took on roles, whether it was rolling that speaker around or operating the metronome, they all fell into the role they had and gave it their best,” said Liss.
Some students hesitated to participate this year because they struggled with marching a year ago. But Liss says they “got it” this year and performed well and she hopes that was a good lesson in sticking with things throughout life.
(Continued from page 3)
It was two years, or 729 days, or 1,049,760 minutes, or nearly 63 million seconds between the two state experiences for the Pride of Howe. For band directors like Liss, the experience of standing in the tunnel the moment before performing is the big moment the calm before the storm, so to speak. The moment only lasts a few minutes and then the goal to reach that moment again begins.
“I want that tunnel experience for those kids so bad,” said Liss. “There’s just something about it. To stand there in this tunnel and look out and know that you’re about to walk out and perform in front of all these people under the lights in this venue that’s nothing like any place we will ever perform like around here.”
In the Texas world of football and marching band, Liss says they work very hard for the other events, but one eye has always been on this big prize.
“Fall is where it’s at in Texas. It’s the one that gets all of the attention and the big state that people see,” said Liss who says they are already planning for the 2020 show and the 2021 show.
Liss says she’s so proud of all the kids and pointed out even the kids
Each year, the Pride of Howe train keeps rolling with some seniors stepping off and turning in their instruments while others grab their ticket and begin their five year journey. Over half of the band were underclassmen and only 12 seniors will graduate. Of this year’s performers in San Antonio, several were from the eighth grade. Assistant Drum Major Chloe Scoggins is a sophomore which means if Howe again can qualify for state in 2021, she’ll have the same type of experience as a senior that current Drum Major Erin Catching had going into this year’s championship.
“I’ve definitely got some kids in that sophomore class and there’s a lot talent in that freshman class too. Some of those kids really “get it” and there’s some maturity there where they already see the big picture.”
In the pit where eighth graders that had not played certain instruments before.
The band was in existence for three years before Liss was a fifth grader at Howe. She’s been a part of the program as a member of the band or an instructor of the band in all but those previous years and a short time from the fall of 1983 and the fall of 1994.
“I think about that and what I ask these kids to do. It’s pretty amazing what they’re able to accomplish,” said Liss. “They are playing the right notes, articulating them correctly, in tune with the people around them, pulling their toes up, posture up, holding their instrument straight, halfway between the two people all of those things are happening at once and I’m asking 13 and 14-year-olds to do that. And they do it.”
In rehearsal, just as legendary Howe Band Director Elmer Schenk walked out the door, Liss gave a talk to the band deep in the heart of the Alamodome. All eyes were upon her in that pindrop moment and everywhere she walked, all eyes followed. That moment had arrived after 1,049,760 minutes. She told them, “I love you more than Dr. Pepper” and they filed out into the hallway that led to the tunnel.
