Pretty cool!
We've got a pretty shnazzy band over here too. We've been all over the place, Mackinac Island, D.C, Rose Bowl, Macy's Thanksgiving, the list goes on.
I would love to show you guys some of out stuff, but it's all boring stuff with a crappy quality camcorder by someone else.

Awesome! You guys look good. May I ask however, do you guys technically consider yourself a Show band? It looked like it to me, but there were some military-like fundamentals that were seen throughout the vid. Especially at 6:39.
Other than that though, I loved the music. My old fart band directors wouldn't let us play music like that in a million years. :lol

I've been in Marching band for 11 years: 5 with High school (one while I was in Jr. High) and just got down with 4 years with the Purdue "All-American" Marching Band (( Had to say it that way)) I got to go everywhere in college for away game and bowl game and even went to Beijing China before the Olympics. I loved my time in marching band. It is very hard to explain to people who haven't been in a marching band before means to its members. You get so much out of marching band because for one it is a lot harder than it looks. You learn so much about team work and setting a high standard of excellence. The DCI World Championships were this weekend in Indy and it was awesome. Like they say marching band members are the "Athletes of Music"
TO all members still in High School band or music programs: DON"T STOP!! If you can continue in college. It is a the best place to make friends and be involved! You won't regret it!

If you love marching band you should go "pro"!
www.dcacorps.org The national (plus Canada) organization, has all ages in it, from teens to old geezers. This is where I perform.
www.dci.org As they like to say on the website, its marching musics major league. This is the best of the best, but there is an age limit.
Both organizations require a lot of time but they are well worth it.
Some shameless advertising- www.whitesabers.org my corp.
I play Bass 4 btw, I loves me some bass runs!

I prefer contras! They are like Sousaphones that sit on your shoulder like a bazooka and have a CRAZY cool sound. They are used instead of Sousaphones in Drum Corps.

Actually other than the drum line, the horns are different than marching band.
There are no woodwinds, only brass instruments. We have baritones(mini-tubas), Sopranos(They look exactly like trumpets, but are slightly different sounding), Mellophones(sort of like a trumpet with a giant bell), and the contras.
Not my favorite corp, but they have impressive drill and other visual stuff. Its actually really hard to find good clear videos on youtube, a lot of corps don't post them so their competition cant use them.
