I highly recommend the Pride of Broken Arrow’s 2021 BOA Grand National Finals performance “The Edge of Eternity”. They broke the Grand Nationals record for highest score (the previous record was held by Avon H.S. with 97.75, but Broken Arrow beat it on Saturday, Nov. 13th, with 98.25 and went on to become the Grand National Champions!)
👆👆👆👆👆👆 THIS👆👆👆👆👆👆👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
the last highest score was Hebron in 2015 with 97.85 if you count semifinal scores
i second this
omg i saw it live at oba. trasported me to another dimesion.
My daughter who graduated last night was part of it they worked hard to get to where they got to
Most people don't recognize how much time & effort & practice goes into being a member of a marching band...hours of practice
months of practice
The hundreds and sometimes thousands of hours, not including the blood sweat and tears. It’s truly beautiful to see it executed so tremendously amazing!!
So glad you enjoyed this show. All 3 of my daughters were in The Pride of Broken Arrow. My youngest, Victoria, was a Senior that year. She is the young lady on keyboards in the opening shot. The kids start learning the music in May, slowly practicing and memorizing through the summer. Then, at the end of July, they start learning the marching drills, putting the music and movement together a little at a time until the whole show is performed at Grand Nationals in November. If you like this show, check out Broken Arrow’s show from 2011, Destiny Leaves You No Choice, which won the BOA Grand Nationals Champion. Victoria was in that show along with her sister, Maria, a trumpet player, who now lives in London. Also check out Aqua, 2006 show that also won Grand Nat’s. My oldest, Kateri was in that one. Btw, my wife helped sew, and I helped cut out the giant “dresses” including the huge one seen at the end of “Surrender to Hope”. It weighed over 300 pounds.
As an alumnus of Broken Arrow, I want to let you know that these kids spend about 30 hours per WEEK rehearsing this show just to get to this point. Competitive marching band is a BIG THING here in the US.
Can second this! It's like mini corps.
Our band limits us to 8 hours a week but not like we’d get anywhere either way. We have no money sadly to even go to grand nationals even if we made it
You guys do that during the school year. How the hell do you cram that in. That’s like band camp hours. Wow
@@brendanlynch4628 It becomes a large part of your life. Being a Pride kid is being part of an identifiable group around campus that is just part of the fabric, like the athletes. People talk about Pride kids as a group, there are generalizations, people around town will sometimes say something if you have your pride coat on, etc.
@@brendanlynch4628 you are also usually deeply tanned and going to be gone a lot through Fall. This is how the teachers know at first sight.
I was in marching band in high school and am from Oklahoma. While my small rural school isn’t in the same competition class as Broken Arrow, we did often attend the same competitions. As they’re in a higher class they performed later than us, so my other band mates and I often made sure to hurry back to the buses, change out of uniforms, put up our instruments, and get back to watch Broken Arrow! If you enjoy watching their field marching, you should try to find a video of them marching in a parade. They don’t just boringly march in straight lines down the roads, they put on a performance then, too! I last saw them perform in 2019 at a competition. My niece was in high school marching band and was performing. When I saw their name on the list of bands performing, I told my sister we were definitely staying until the end (they were to be the last band to perform that day). It was definitely worth the wait! Though many other Oklahoma high school marching bands also put really great shows, too!
Same here! We played in the same class as Broken Arrow but even then there were only about 4-5 bands that could even come close to their level (Tulsa Union, Owasso, etc...).
As a former 4 year member of the Pride, this means so much 🥺💓
I loved to watch broken arrow when I was in the ldbell band back in 2009-2011
You need to react to more DCI shows!! I suggest Babylon by SCV!!!
These kids are good though. They just won grand nats again yesterday.
They are insane they make me proud to be in ollahoma
College Marching bands' sole purpose is to get a pop out of the crowd at a football game. BOA and Drum Corps values the artistic value much more. Bands are scored on musical ability, complexity and togetherness of the marching/formations, and the overall impact of the storytelling and presentation of the show. College bands come up with a new show every week, whereas BOA/Drum Corps shows are done for the entire season. The band I was in in High School got 7th at the state level, and we practiced most days between June and early November. Better bands I'm sure do even more than that.
The Pride of Broken Arrow is a great program. Mr. Davis is an awesome instructor. I was a member of the Pride of BA all 4 years of HS from 1999-2003 and loved every minute of it! My shows were Festival Espanol, Bacchanal Op. 20 - What's Past is Prologue, The Ride of Your Life and Chain Reaction
This was my brother’s first year as a BA Pride band member! He’s the one kneeling at 4:37 in this video close to the 35 yard line playing the sax. They are all amazing performers and took a lot of work to get there. Being apart of this program, everyone put in many hours to create this show. It’s a full time job for them. So glad to see someone enjoying it! You should do a video on their 2015 show “ Wild Blue Orchid”.
Oh btw we (pride of broken arrow) just won Grand Nationals 2021! BOA is Bands Of America
And we just hit a new world record for highest score
Hey Broken Arrow was my high school. Wow
ba just broke a record for the highest score in boa history with a score of 98.25
You still need to react to some DCI (Drum Corps International) videos.
Most definitely need to react to DCI, it's on another level. Id recommend some older DCI from the 90s- 2000s. Why the drill was amazing during those years compared to now.
Couldn't agree more.
Oh my goodness that is my show! I was in colorguard that year! 🤩 I am SO elated to watch your reactions to this almost 10 years later. I have goosebumps, thank you for this!
This is my band!! My sister marched this show. I marched 2013-2016. I may be biased, but if you want to watch more BA shows I highly recommend 2015 and 2016! 2011 and 2010 are also absolute gems!
My son marched this show! It was his senior year.
I loved 2015, absolutely beautiful and amazing performance, would have loved to of marched in BA 2015 just so that show could have been my senior year show
Hi Bees! Greetings from South Carolina. I was in marching band in highschool. Some of the best memories of my life. I was in Newberry Highschool Blue Brigade. We have some videos online if you want to see some of them ... Love your reactions! God bless you
hey, i'm a euphonium player from bixby, oklahoma!
we're right down the road and are on the come up. we're moving into the same division as BA next year, as a matter of fact. if you're interested, i'd recommend our 2018 show, Heresy(which i wasn't in); our 2019 show, Hadesland(freshman year, i played baritone); and our 2021 show, Beyond. they're not as well done as BA's, but i think you'd still get a kick out of them.
for some solid drum corps action, i would recommend the Madison Scouts' 1988 show, the Bluecoats' 2014 show, and the Cavaliers' 2000-2003 shows. it's awesome that you're interested in US marching athletics! it's a lot of fun to be a part of it, and i always love seeing people outside the US's reactions to marching band!
much love, brother!
We won this year's nationals with the highest score ever af 98.25! Go BA!
I saw this performance live and yes, we called them "witches of doom," lol. My daughters were in a different band that competed in finals that year and we were all blown away by this performance.
I just came here to hear Beesley say "fair play".
Thank you so much for giving this a watch. It really means a lot. It was one of my favorite shows that I got to perform in before I graduated from Broken arrow. There was a lot of blood, sweat, and tears put into this show, and I’ll never forget all the amazing memories I made from being in Pride!
Love this! If you ever get around to watching DCI just remember it’s meant to be experienced at full volume 💪🏻 so much power in the horn lines.
Bluecoats 2016
literally any show before 1999, when they had STUPID LOUD bugles that were literally designed to blow your face off
Watch their 2021 show it literally broke records and is one of the highest scores ever given in a marching competition
Other info
BOA (Bands of America). Broken Arrow competes on a high school level for marching band right now is the best in the nation (on the high school level) I’m in a marching band from Oklahoma (like BA is) and have compete against them many times, they are incredible. At my school we like to say “When you compete against BA second is first because they basically always win.
im from glenpool band!!!!!
I was in this band from 2017-2020 and I know I have a bit of a bias. But any of the shows past 2010 from broken arrow are amazing to watch. I would recommend giving broken arrow 2011, 2016, 2017, and 2021 a watch
I'm so glad you enjoyed watching this! I marched at BA from 2013-2015 with Utopia, FaceMe, and Wild Blue Orchid. It was an amazing experience that I wouldn't trade for the world. I highly recommend watching 2014's FaceMe. It was my favorite show to perform!
I marched in the Pride of Broken Arrow from 2013-2016! My brother marched in this show, so cool to see you watch this!
this is my favorite broken arrow show! my sister was a junior who performed in this show and it blows me away every time! i was a member from 2015-2018. we love the positive feedback🤍🤍🤍
Been there - just wanting to close your eyes and listen because the music is so beautiful. The first year my kids were in band.... that's how I was.... I wanted to watch but I wanted to close my eyes.... it was so moving.
Love watching your facial expressions. It's clear you have an understanding and appreciation for our beloved bands.
As someone who's last year in the color guard was this show, let me tell ypu when we got off of the field from the finals we all cried because we all gave it EVERYTHING and we knew we left it all out on that field. As an aside, we were intentionally taking the fabric off during parts of the show as we had a limited time to get all of our equipment off the field or we'd get points deducted, so that helped with us with making sure that we met that requirement while also adding to the story and visuals. I wish the camera could have shown more of the dancing and routine we were doing with the flags too, but every one of us put our hearts and souls into that craft.
I was in marching band all throughout high school. It is HARD ASS WORK! We rehearsed before and after school and, of course, at band camp. NO way could my body do that today! I graduated in 1987 and to this day I have nightmares of missing rehearsals and not knowing the routine! I played the flute/piccolo so it's refreshing to see such an extensive flute solo and done so well. In my day solos were more for brass instruments or percussion.
As a proud Broken Arrow Pride alum, I want to say thank you for sharing your response and appreciation for the work that goes into these shows. I marched 1997-2000. Show titles were The Sword and The Crown, When A Clown Is Not A Clown, and Festival Español. I enjoyed watching your reaction!
I was in 2010-2013 - the sword and the crown was one of my favorites to watch on the bus (when they put on all the shoes before us) while going to competitions.
I was in Festival Español!
I marched in this show! So glad you liked it - we got 2nd place this year! I marched with BA 2010-2013 (ZO, Destiny, Surrender to Hope, and Utopia)
It makes me feel so good that this guy is so amazed by what we do
Now someone needs to show him DCI shows.
This is where I went to high school and marched playing trumpet!
You should check out more BOA performances. My personal favorites are Avon HS 2008-2010, The Woodlands HS 2013, LD Bell HS 2007, and Broken Arrow 2011. They’re proper works of art.
Back when I was in high school we competed against these guys a few times each year in various competitions and they have always been on a different level then most other high school bands in OK.
My nieces were in this band and one in this performance. I watched it and other bands programs are so wonderful and unique.
REACT TO HEBRON BAND 2021!!! THEIR BRASS AND JUST THEIR WHOLE MUSICAL ENSEMBLE WILL BLOW YOU AWAY!! Pretty much like this Broken Arrow performance, not as theatrical, but their technique and power is UNREAL👀👀
As someone that lives in Broken Arrow I can tell you they practice morning, noon and night.
I never comment BUT as a proud B.A Pride alumni….. Thank you for recognizing the hard work, athleticism, musicianship and dedication necessary to be able to pull off a high school marching band show. I really enjoyed your perspective keep it up! Shout out to all marching musicians Keep up the hard work!!
You NEED to watch the finals performance from this year! They didn't win in 2012, but they did in 2006, 2011, 2016, and again yesterday!
I always interpreted the black figures as Death with the show ending on humanity persevering over death at the end with the band member taking the place of the guard member while wearing a gas mask, but maybe I'm off.
They actually won last night's championship competition.
You definitely should react to hebron high school 2021. One of the hardest shows produced by a Highschool
Even more impressive when you realize these are kids from 14 to 18 years of age!
This has to be Drum Corps International. Ohhhh its the high school band association. I *LOVED* being in marching band !!! It was so much fun
Hey please react to some DCI Videos! The high school bands are great but the pros are something else!!
BOA is Bands of America, which is a national marching band competition for high schools all around the USA. There are competitions in each region and bands must pay an entry fee to participate.
Marching Band is very intense and competitive in the US, but more so in vertain regions. Here in Texas, it's as big as high school football. In the San Antonio area, there are two of the largest school districts in the nation along with several smaller ones. Some smaller schools have up to 100 band members, while others have over 330 (some don't even march their Freshmen).
My wife and I were Band Boosters for 12 years as all three of our kids were in the marching band. There is much more that goes into marching band than people realize.
If you want to see the best of the best, there are plenty videos of Drum Corpse International (DCI) competitions. DCI is the professional level for marching band members and they consist of high school and college students. They go on tour all across the US and compete in several contests. Their season culminates in a massive championship in Indiana. The Blue Devils are the absolute favorite of most fans as they have more championships than any ither corpse and still hold the record for the highest score ever awarded by the judges. Other favorites are The Blue Coats, The Caveliers, The Phantom Regiment, The Cadets, Santa Clara Vanguard, Carolina Crown, and others.
Someone suggested Drum Corps International.....I Suggest watching Madison Scouts 1995
I actually performed in this band, but my first year was in 2014. My brother was in this show, and there are actually three fun facts about this show. The first fun fact is that each one of those black dresses weighed 100+ pounds because of their size. The second fun fact is that they were the raining Champs from the season before, and they were supposed to take first place this season, but the color guard judge dropped several points because of a grudge he had against our color guard director which caused them the National title. The third fun fact is that despite what happened, the band was extremely happy for the other band that ended up winning the title because it had been several years since they won.
Broken Arrow just won the 2021 Grand National Championship with a score of 98.25.
They just won the he Grand National Championships in Indianapolis, Indiana. Broken Arrow won 1st place with a record-breaking score of 98.25! This High School Band is amazing.
2 of my girls did this from Middle School 6-8th grade till they graduated High school 9th-12th grade in the US
Beesley.. .remember these are high school kids.....loved the video. Just wondering did you give up on Pentatonix?
Broken Arrow practices about 36 hours a week. It’s very very impressive
I hadn’t seen this. Looks like they are continuously great!
Question for ya Bees: I feel like in the beginning you (naturally) focused mainly on sports, US in global politics and general cultural differences. Recently, you've gotten into common things like a capella and marching bands and I never really thought about them being American things, but I am finding out they are! Are these new revelations changing your thoughts on what everyday life is like here in the USA? Also- how long do you think before they start popping up in the UK haha
You have got to here Pride of Broken Arrow at BOA 2022 amazing!!!!!
You apparently enjoyed this old show… do me a favor and watch their show from finals yesterday 11/13/2021 at grand nationals again! They won it with a record breaking score!!! Go BA
Go B A!
We have competitive marching. Bands just like cheerleading is it own sport. You can just watch them perform
Would have loved to seen Broken Arrow, Hebron, and Vandergrift battle it out at 2021 BOA Grand Nationals....To the commentator, BOA stands for Bands of America!!!
The crazy thing about competitive marching band is how you don’t even think about where you’re going. It’s muscle memory at that point me you’re just adjusting
BOA - Bands of America - The most prestigious highschool marching band circuit in the U.S.
I don't know if you realize that all of the performers here are in high school and range in age from 13 up to 19. This is phenomenal for a group this young to pull off this style of performance. If you would like to see examples of next level, check out DCI videos. My personal favorite is Phantom Regiment - "Sparticus". Here's the link: th-cam.com/video/bmH2O1JFPfM/w-d-xo.html
Disclaimer: I had the honor of marching with the Phantom Regiment way back in 1973 and still live in Rockford, IL where they are based. So yes, I'm a little biased, but you can't go wrong with any Phantom Regiment performance or any other performance by the many drum corps that are part of DCI (Drum Corp International).
You should check out the DCI (Drum Corps International) corps. They take this to an even greater level. Bluecoats, Cavaliers, Phantom Regiment. Santa Clara Vanguard, Carolina Crown, to name a few. The Corp members range from young teens and age out at 21. Incredible talent and pageantry.
This is a pretty big rabbit hole to fall down. There are hundreds of BOA and DCI videos available to watch and all can be so amazing. Look up Phantom Regiment, Blue Devils, Carolina Crown, Santa Clara Vanguard, Blue Coats, Cadets, Madison Scouts, Cavaliers. One of my favorites is 2014's E=mc2.
I always wanted to have the honor of performing at BOA. My school had the quality of show but I'm sure it cost a lot of money. But we did get to travel to other parts of the country and perform other shows. I also got to perform the show that got my school's first ever State Championship. Oh how I miss the days.
Show was ahead of its time for sure. I know Carmel was good, but I think this should have won
Hey I'm American and my first thought of what BOA meant was the Bank Of America. Like performing from the Bank Of America Arena
Hard to believe I live 30 minutes from the town of broken arrow itself
Broken Arrow is a suburb of Tulsa Oklahoma. Their high school is large by most standards with over 4300 students.
This performance is following a “Drum & Bugle Corps” style of entertainment which is different from the marching bands you normally see in high schools and colleges. The performance is more artistic with heavy reliance on props and unusual movements among the band members. Winning performances tend to be on the trippy or avant-garde side of things.
In my home state of Kansas, this style of band wasn’t affiliated with specific schools but were private organizations outside of school attachments.
This performance is impressive although I personally prefer a more traditional marching band whether standard (Best example is Ohio State) or military (Texas A&M) styles.
This show was great! I recommend you do a reaction video to Hebron Highschool State Marching Performance 2021. 👍
I’ve been watching your videos for awhile now, so it’s pretty bizarre for me to see you reacting to a video of my high school band! I was in this show.
If you like these high level of performances, I recommend watching the 14 finalist+ exhibitionist bands at the 2021 grand nations BOA.
Tornados, Beesley. Oklahoma is the heart of twister country. And God knows how many OK towns have had to live into destruction, loss, hope and rebuilding. I may be getting it al wrong, but I think that's what they are getting at.
It’s a tornado themed show because Oklahoma is in or near Tornado Ally
Broken Arrow just won another Grand Nationals, you should definitely watch it
You need to watch their show from this year 2021 absolutely amazing
Check out BA '04 if you can!!! Cirque du Soleil music writers wrote our music that year. For real! Show is called "Pure Imagination"
Pride of Broken Arrow (including my niece Alicia) won this competition again last night. They set a new record for the highest score in the history of the competition. Check out this video of that performance. th-cam.com/video/pmNnCGsBG4g/w-d-xo.html
This weekend, Broken Arrow scored the highest rating in BOA history with a 98.25. I highly recommend watching their “Edge of Eternity” show from this year.
98.25 as a performer I don’t wanna overhype this. Although it was absolutely amazing
@@sungod3245 I will amend my comment. Thanks
@@sungod3245 they came home to a hero’s welcome. Police, Fire, and politicians were there, along with some neighboring towns bands
I was in this performance my freshman year of high school. It was fun but we got robbed of a grand nationals win. It is unfortunate but it happens. It's a NFL or college field and BOA is bands of america which is an association for judging.
The ending makes me so uncomfortable and I love that
Bro he need to watch Hebron high school Pennstripped that show was insane mind blowing
You should definitely check out Pride of Broken Arrow Marching Band 2015 / 2016 / 2021 and some of the earlier years like 2011 /2014 if you can find them 15,16, and 21 are easier to find.
i love broken arrow sm
-mustang hs clarinet ❤️
Ok up 2010 ZO..broken arrow. Wizard of oz and they used old bicycles.etc....
The return of xeno is good from broken arrow too.
My school has wanted to do BOA for a while now buy we're always on that line between paying BOA Fees and putting the money into the making the show better, but man it'd he an honor to loose to Broken Arrow and Avon and the like. The dilemma of being an Indiana Band...
Watch Pride of Broken Arrow's 2013 show Utopia... one of my all time favorites.,
Please do a reaction to Broken Arrow’s 2015 show. Wild Blue Orchid!
I recommend reviewing Flowermounds 2021 Boa Grand Nationals show
If you watch anything else like this, I'd like to recommend that you avoid anything from the past decade or so, when marching band/drum corps became overrun with electronics and vocals. I might be labeled a boomer for having this opinion if anyone here actually cares enough but oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Fun fact: This show was expected to win this year, but one of the music judges had some kind of grudge against one of the directors from Broken Arrow. And they perposly gave them a lower score. They didn't go the following year, because they wouldn't remove the judge, and then in 2014 they came back to Grand Nations. I'm from broken arrow, I've heard this story multiple times but that's the gist of the story.
Something a lot like that happened to hebron 2015. They broke the current high score at nats with a 97.85 in prelims and had the first slots in finals so 30 minute turn around which affected them pretty badly. That’s why boa introduced the hebron rule where your finals placement is loosely based on the semis place
Now he just needs to watch DCI
Watch The pride of BA 2021!!! I wanna see a reaction video to it!!!
BOA stands for bands of an America. And then DCI stands for drum corps international.
BOA=Bands of America
I'm in this band! This year is my first year and I would love if you could react to 2021's show!
He really should
I hope you realize you're a really lucky kid. When I did band, we had about 40 people. Since we had about 3000 people in our school, we still had to compete in 5A and we got our butts whooped every time.
@@brothaNblue trying to stay humble :)
I recommend University of Arkansas at pine bluff versus University of Arkansas Fayetteville halftime show 2021
