Awesome show!
RE the music clips: when I was in the band, they told us that they'd rather we memorize the music, but we could carry it if we needed it. They believed in performing with the best quality in both marching precision and musicality. Fr. George never wrote rinky-dink arrangements; parts were always difficult. So when you're doing a complicated new show every week, they'd rather allow people to use a cheat sheet than risk performing a show that was less than 100% quality.

@rh3610 Thanks for the opinion, but they are one of the 10 best collegiate bands in the country so I believe your opinion may be wrong.

@Crimsonshadow66 they arent going to some mediocre high school on their off time...they are going to Notre Dame they have plenty of things to memorize just to be able to stay in the band

@nashgasm Hey nash, the first time I saw this clip I nearly fell out of my chair; it is just way cool!!! My daughter plays mellophone in the Goshen High School band. I hope to get her over to campus this fall on a game day just to hang around campus. I understand tickets are very hard to come by, thanks to Brian Kelly. Go Irish!!!!

[@bassrocks10101]

@ExternalGod Its because they're saxophones. Ya can't trust 'em as far as you can throw 'em to learn their music

[@1969DayTripper]

0:14 is the best part

[@topem97]
