between hebron and ba, i must say, i really do enjoy this performance. Both performances of hebron and ba are in a league of its own. Visually yes i do feel more attached to ba’s because of how spread and fluid it is. the music of hebron however just blew me away. on the other hand, a big congrats to ba and their spectacular performance! what an amazing show
Because despite how big the whole marching/guard/band activity may seem to us, it's extremely niche and most people outside of the activity have no idea what it's like outside of the stereotypical depictions you see in media and such
I taught some of these kids in middle school, and now my son is marching as a freshman in 2024. The hours of dedication they put in to every rehearsal is next level... i Marche in 2 different decades and this STILL blows my mind how incredible the sound is. Mr. A.
I went to this school! This was my junior year, the whole school was proud of everyone involved. They got the highest score ever achieved in a national tournament, with a score of 99. Super cool to think about all friends I had who were in that, all great people. The band was very stressful though, and joining it basically became your life for 4 years(Most people join when they are freshmen, since they start giving tryouts in 8th grade).
I have watched this nearly thousand times and EVERY time I watch it I notice something else that I had not noticed before. This is 100 % absolutely PERFECT!!! Record breaking winning score VERY well deserved. Congrats.You all are INCREDIBLE !!!!!
I am an old dinosaur (52). I recall my marching band days with great fondness. In fact, as a "nerd" back when I was a kid, I found school very difficult. I was picked on and bullied, but in marching band and music, I found a home. I found a family. Outside of the band hall the world was awful but in those walls and on that field I was SOMEBODY. I parlayed that experience into 6 years of marching DCI and in DCI finals three times (Freelancers 87-92). So I think I am somewhat qualified in saying that THIS is as good as ANYTHING on the field at DCI. AND another thing... I don't profess to know diddly squat about guard but this guard REALLY impresses me. I mean in this fixed high camera position they are really selling their choreography. Body lines and shapes read very clearly from beginning to end and teh equipment work is clean as a whistle.
The beginning of the show made me wanna cry for someone reason but y’all’s show was so beautiful and the first place spot was totally deserved (from Raleigh NC)❤️
Best freshman year of my life. Even though I was in this show three years ago, I still remember every detail about it to this day. I will remember that feeling when we won for the rest of my life.
Marching band isn't about winning. Too many people talk about who should have won what... believe me, in the end, nobody outside of marching band is going to care who won anything when you're out in the real world. Enjoy marching band while you're in it, but stop judging how "good" a band is based on scores. Scores can fluctuate with judges and no band is ever the same between years either. What really defines a "good" band is how much effort they put into improving over the course of the year. Even if it's not top end material, any band who has worked hard deserves to be recognized regardless of placement. In the end, a score is just a number that doesn't define you, your organization, or anything. It's just a one time number.
Wow this is an incredibly moving emotional tear jerker and it ABSOLUTELY moved me and brought out pure raw emotion but what makes it even MORE emotional is the quiet sniffles of crying in the crowd especially the people who were recording this video and at approximately 8:35 you could really hear the sniffing and that is exactly when I lost it and started crying myself also. Just so absolutely and incredibly emotional and in a very good way !!! CONGRATS on the first place win !!! You all definitely deserved it and probably worked VERY hard to earn it. 💞💗❤💚💜💙💛💓👍👍👍💪
I wonder what would happen if Hebron were to compete at Grand Nationals this year. Would have certainly been a very close score. I like the feel of this show and I also really like the feel of Pen Striped as well. I would just like to accept a tie, though in the end, it doesn't matter.
I think it would have been very close musically, but broken arrow would have visual on them so I think they would have lost in the judges sheets. But from a regular person point of view, it’s just opinion on who’s better
Hebron plays and marches so well. The best playing HS band in the country for sure, but they would have gotten second most likely. If you look at the achievement of the BA kids and what they were being demanded to on the field from music to visual to GE there's just so much demand on the kids part and theyre executing it so well
me wishing my band could do something like this but then remembering we’re a class 1a and 75% of our funding got cut off(fr our props for this year were foam boxes that our director got at a garage sale😂)
My band had done BOA performances before but we are a Class 3A and this stuff is like for Class 5A and Class 6A and my bands budget isn’t too good either.
I felt jealous at oba because southmoore got 10th and broken arrow won. I was just being a salty little child though and I can see through the judges’ eyes now. Truly magnificent performance.
I’m from Broken Arrow and I love watching all the other bands I’m so glad we got to win but I’d rather loose and enjoy everyone else than win and brag about it, even winning I feel like people should shut up about Hebron vs us, we’re both amazing bands. I don’t enjoy winning I enjoy being on the field and hanging out with my section and making an impact on other people, making them happy. Nothing in marching band is about winning it’s about impacting others and putting everything you have into the field.
ok what is your show actually about? i’ve watched it about a million times and i just have absolutely no clue what the story is. it’s a beautiful piece of art that i would love to appreciate more if i knew what it was about. -carmel guard girl
@@katiearbuckle2536 I’m in the same section as Michael (we are both baritone) and to be honest we have no idea. Our directors and designers purposely left it vague so each person has a different interpretation. But here are some of the popular ones that have been tossed about. Eternal love being found and torn apart represented by how multiple times there are color guard and horn line members dancing with each other throughout the show but seemingly losing each other. Some people have interpreted it as the stages of love and a relationship based of the four parts of the show. Lastly but not least the interpretation that horn line are Cotton candy zombies and the color guard of immortal. Sorry for any spelling or grammatical mistakes.
Im from LCHS though I doubt you remember us at isu because we didn’t make finals but your show was so cool and I’m happy you guys won, also nice fly over prop.
HS Marching Bands have certainly changed (not all of course) since I was in Marching Band....way back then lol. I remember a time competing vs BA, and other OK Marching Bands, and beating them. Unfortunately there were no OBA or National Finals back then. This show was outstanding but, I'm old school and traditional lol. I was in Marching Band so long ago that, little ole Okmulgee High School had a 235 member Band lol. So, so long ago 😢.
To all of you who enjoy marching band as much as I do, I kindly ask one thing of you.... Please, when you're watching a band perform in person, DO NOT clap or cheer or give a woo hoo in the middle of the performance! We are suppossed to HEAR what the hell is going on. Let everyone know how you felt about their performance when its all over.
Nah man, I understand where you’re coming from but you gotta enjoy the moment. It’s not everyday you get see bands perform in national championships. If you want to hear the band and what’s going on, just stick to watching the recordings.
@@abnerramirez9711 yeah but then there’s people who cheer over the band in the recordings and people can’t hear the quiet features. I hear where you’re coming from as well, but I think it’s best to at least wait until it’s an obvious spot to cheer when you watch the show.
BA was epic. Personally, I think Carmel was best. And Vandy and Hebron seemed to better musically. But only BA was epic in 2021. And "epic" wins championships. No complaints. This show has a relentless pace, one, continuous tempo, from start to finish. Even during the 'slower,' melodic middle segment, you can still feel that underlying pace driving the show. Loved it. Progressive. Unique. Epic.
It is a lot of toddlers who should just appreciate both programs because they’re both amazing instead of trying to die on a hill saying which band is better.
If we had the funding Hebron and other Texas bands had all through out middle school and high school we’d be even better, but I don’t complain about it
@@kv46 I've also lost grand nationals before. I've lost a regional before as well. Instead of complaining I cheered for them and still enjoyed my season for what it was. My experiences do not discredit the fact that I find enjoyment in the season for performances. If I could have the musical training that kids have in Texas all throughout middle school I'd LOVE that, even if I never got to win anything, I'd still have that experience that helps me even more when it comes to doing what I love.
I've never understood why BOA and DCI decided to have their FINALS competitions for an OUTDOOR activity inside an enclosed stadium. TOO much reverb. It sounds like shit in there.
I miss the days when bands would actually wear their uniforms with the school colors. It was intimidating and fun and if you were in a top band like I was they would automatically know who you were. Now it’s become a stupid trend that DCI has started it doesn’t spirited anymore.
This isn't just marching band anymore, it's a performing art. We wouldn't be able to evoke the same emotion and story from our boring tradition uniforms. We don't WANT you to see the school that's performing, we want you to see the show for what it is. A bit insensitive to imply we lack spirit just because we aren't wearing our boring black and white uniforms. A LOT of soul and energy goes in to each and every one of our performances
Someone please explain to me in detail what it takes to train brass musicians to push such efficient amounts of air through the instrument and to maintain stamina throughout a demanding performance like this? The dynamics seem to be rising and falling at the same rate among each player, intonation is so so good, tone quality of course, phrasing ending together,etc.
now, i dont even come from a program CLOSE to how great they are but it takes hours and hours a day and every day of the week, along with constant repetition to nail parts. as for specifically the dynamics etc they probably work REALLY hard on breathing control and cutoffs. also i believe that it was also the fact that each and every performer wanted to do their best (i cant say the same for our program) and so in that desire, they achieved.
@@realtopg5854I think that you’re oversimplifying Hebron’s show a bit there. Definitely would have won music, visual honestly would have been a LOT closer than back in 2015, because their execution is better this year with very difficult drill. The amount of jazz running features in Penstriped is insane and I think totally matches the amount of content in this show. Also, the show is actually about the diversity of Hebron and every group in the HS making their mark.
@@realtopg5854 I'm betting you didn't watch Hebron at all if all you got was standing still and spelling out Hebron. And Marching Band isn't just about telling a story.
It is a shame that Hebron didn’t compete, and I feel like both shows are equally as good. Although, musically Hebron would kick butt and broken arrow would win visual and probably general effect
@@samneal7566 yea but that still doesn’t always mean loud. I’ve heard bands with 250+ that are quieter than some 4A bands. They just have such focused air and good tuning which projects sounds better
BA 2021 was great. Avon and Carmel were good but Hebron 21 was special iMO. Since BOA doesn’t judge guards Visually I give it hands down to Broken Arrow but that music demand and execution from Hebron would have taken GE. This was by far my most favorite show that BA ever has fielded.
people need to stop arguing over placements anyways. Many programs had such amazing shows that year and insulting or bringing down members from one or another program only ruins their experience when they witness it. I wish people would realize that. It's an issue on both sides
@@iainoam2565 although I do agree that camp homers tend to be over critical of anything not in their region or State but NO one on this tread was insulting anyone or any kid who participated past or future. This is a subjective activity and let’s be honest. If this wasn’t about winning or competition then BOA, ISSMA and all other circuits would be handing out participation awards instead of rankings.
@@muukas3453 Look at every video from top GN shows for theast several years and you'll find one of these D-bags declarng their chosen Texas school champion of an event they didn't even compete in. Its annoying. Stfu already, Hebron fans and students. Actually win something, then talk shit. Until then, stay off other's posts with your, "great show, but Hebron is better" bull shit. Only a loser declares themselves champions of an event they didn't complete in, and have never won. Another thing you'll find if you look, is Hebron people talking about how they had the biggest score ever from a semifinal in 2015, but of course didn't win in finals. Imagine an Olympian setting a world record in a semifinal, but failing to make it on the podium for Finals, yet somehow claiming victory. Its absolutely pathetic!
@@curtisoltmann152 He didn't call Hebron the grand national champion though, he just said that Hebron's show is better. That's his opinion, and you should respect it. I don't think that you should call someone a loser for stating their opinion.

@@muukas3453 Look at every video from top GN shows for theast several years and you'll find one of these D-bags declarng their chosen Texas school champion of an event they didn't even compete in. Its annoying. Stfu already, Hebron fans and students. Actually win something, then talk shit. Until then, stay off other's posts with your, "great show, but Hebron is better" bull shit. Only a loser declares themselves champions of an event they didn't complete in, and have never won. Another thing you'll find if you look, is Hebron people talking about how they had the biggest score ever from a semifinal in 2015, but of course didn't win in finals. Imagine an Olympian setting a world record in a semifinal, but failing to make it on the podium for Finals, yet somehow claiming victory. Its absolutely pathetic!
@@curtisoltmann152 He didn't call Hebron the grand national champion though, he just said that Hebron's show is better. That's his opinion, and you should respect it. I don't think that you should call someone a loser for stating their opinion.
@@aenation1606 I called him a loser for going to a video of a high school marching band for the sole purpose of commenting about how another is better. Thats what these Hebron people do. Every year on every video, these comments are made. So I say win first, then talk shit on other people.
What song are they playing at the hit on 4:08?
