@@l-3364 I'm not talking about the performance. The kids are amazing, Broadway quality performers. I'm talking about the design content. The only thing they didn't do was shoot red white and blue confetti cannons out of their butts. Meaningless.
@@graceehastings8443 The point is the show (not "score", I mistyped the word, sorry) has the obligation to mean something specific. Every show worth doing is a commentary on the present day. Why did they choose this theme in this year? Why a patriot theme with the worst president we've ever had? You know, this championship was held on the day that Trump made fun of the firefighters fighting the California blaze, some of whom died in the blaze, and insulted the bureau of land management.
My school opened with American Salute for my senior year show and yours sounds so much better than ours. I wish my band didn't simply overlay drumline on top of the piece.
Well for one, DCI marchers are all professional and experienced to March and play at the same time. Usually in a High School band, the possibility of people simply just Marching and not playing exists and that can also hold back some.
I see some comments talking about how it was very bad that this pro America show came out during the Trump administration. While I agree that it’s bad to have a show celebrating trump’s America that’s just now how I see this show. I think this is a commentary on what America should stand for and how it could be great if we valued the right things. For example, they spell out truth at one point. Something the former president is not exactly known for. They have the section commemorating veterans, when trump lied about having bone spurs to avoid the draft. I see this show as a plea for what could be and not a love letter to trump.
Great job Broken Arrow! A very well deserved 4th place!
my sister preformed in this show as a senior she was the piccolo at the start with the drum im so proud of her
One of the most impressive marching shows I have seen!
5:46 glory hole?
bahahaha!
That's what we were going for. This whole show was meant to symbolize anal. A for Anal not for America.
Congrats Broken Arrow proud of ya'll 2018
I could watch this every.single.day!! That's my babygirl! I love this band!
Watching on independence day 2019!
I can't wait to be in this band
Mary Abbott are you a freshman this year?
yo lucky i wish i could rewind time and experience getting into band for the first time
I am so devastated they didn’t even get the top 2 like they deserved.
The show was shallow, brazen jingoism.
Jesu Spectre shallow? Ok you clearly weren’t at BOA finals then

@@graceehastings8443 Unfortunately the score is design-dependent. They can't win without a smart show.

Great job broken arrow!!!
Bruh this shit got me sobbing
This year's (2019) show is better than 2018
1049berkeley not even close. 2018>2019
@@jacobduhon7892 Well, 2018 was much higher on the cheese factor.
Glory!! 🙌
How the hell did this get 4th.
I have no idea how Avon beat them.
@@jamesdamon3992 Usually comes down to the fine, fine details
Would the skirts have something to do with that?
ba wasn't even good wym 😂
@@graceehastings8443 what school do you go to?
Watching this two years later on inauguration day as we begin a new chapter in our country's history, the message of this show couldn't be truer.

Now this is a high budget band
I'm from Southmoore high school marching band.
Ok and
Good for you
This was an absolutely fantastic performance, but 4th place was the only place it could’ve been.
I agree. To me this wasn’t first place material, but it was still an amazing show! I hope to see them on top again soon!
This show gave me diabetes.
You so funny.
that just means you're a sad person. Can I offer you a hug?
lmao ur on BOA vids too lmao ur everywhere I am impressed
@@georgedixon9863 I prefer glitter enmas, and this show has plenty of them.
@@jesuspectre9883 dick
Amazing show and performance but I couldn't help but think about how much louder dci corps on the same field are...
Woodwinds sound softer than brass… crazy, right?
@@solsar3011 I mean, a drumcorps is also a lot smaller than these bands.. but yes, I guess its kinda obvious

Meanwhile, we're still working on staying in lines 😭😭
Ugh. Great until the woodwinds broke into swing music...or rather attempted to break into swing.

This should have been the National Champion show. There were quite a few of the placements that were wrong this year.
Robert Davis carmel deserved it imo
Robert Davis I've never understood what's so special about this show. it's so boring
nathan urie THANK YOU!!!
Somebody that finally agrees with me😂
FocusCloud the only people that actually genuinely like this show are uber conservative patriotic middle aged white men.
I'm kidding
Grace Hastings yes, but I'm right
The beginning was good, that's about it, as a fan of Texas A&M's band it's always nice to see downfield drill by a MARCHING band.
so you like people walking in lines. Got it.
It looks like the whole band is wearing dresses.
This show had more blue dresses than a 1970's cotillion.
