wow…i’m in the front line of this band (gold resonator marimba during opener, ballad and closer on vibes) and i just love how we look. i never really got to know how it looked during the season. but we basically make people cry every time we play. 5 grand champs and 4 clean sweeps in one season is that bad

Hey I heard you guys got all 7 superiors! Wish I was there to see it. I can honestly say I’ve never heard a high school band play anything more musically challenging than this show.
The bass drum solo at 8:14 drives me insane every time I hear it. Movement 3 in general is incredible.
