Why not though? They have a better brass then most open class and lower world class corps. Maybe not top 10 but you can't deny them that they aren't as good as some dbc's.

We (Avon) aren't even CLOSE to a drum corps. I saw crown earlier this summer, and they were better then than we are at the end of our season.

Oh no, for sure. Though, some lower class corps are just as good as the BOA finalists brass. Nothing even relatively close to the top 20 though. +Nick Niehaus +Tim Ander

I agree. They're not comparable due to the restrictions placed on high school bands though (e.g. often no auditions, smaller pool of students, etc.), but for what they do pull off, bands like this deserve a lot of credit. Start comparing them though and then you've got butt hurt band kids and DCI fans alike, for varying reasons.

+Hidan Troyer Your welcome!! there are a lot of these vids from last year but hardly any for this year! As part of the color guard we get all the directors vids

thanks! 😊 (I'm in the drumline. this was my freshmen year)

+Kayleigh Swanson thank you so much!!

+Kayleigh Swanson we're excited too! thanks again

what band are u from?

Achi Morton Marching band in Illinois

Have u heard of the pride of owasso.

+Jeffrey Ader Thank you!

+Hannah King Absolutely, you guys did awesome. Very creative. Nice music and visual

+Hexion Gaming thank you... and i heard about yours. i loved it. it kind of put two perspectives into the translation part to it

I just got done thinking that cuz u guys compete at our competition (morton invitational)

Cara Rankin you were at morton 2015?? did you see this year's show???

Prionian yah I was a freshman last year and saw your show on KZfaq since we were warming up at the time u were competing. I also saw this years :) I like your band

Lol, what?

+NPNGxProdigy Thank you!!

Most of the songs were supposed to help both the pit and battery shine. It had alot of drumline features.

+Jamie Casey we were only venting. i agree that BA and everyone works just as hard. no comments here should be taken offensively

+Kingg I DO!!! Thank you, Alot of us actually watched you guys too! You guys were awesome too!!

+Noah Carmichael Its alot of work and its hard sometimes for everyone to get along and get on the same page lol

+Hannah King yea i know, im with Center Grove Our show last year was a pain in the ass

+Noah Carmichael haha i think all marching bands of all sizes have this problem lol

+Noah Carmichael About how many people did CG march?

+Nzoid 2015 we marched a total of 154 marchers

I don't think so

+It'sTwisteh Actually this was my first year in AMBG and i was so so nervous for grand nats but it was amazing. i realized that was the last show id ever preform of this year and of that show. i was crying in the ballad cause thats when it hit but i do have to say try and realized that before the show so you can do your best cause it can mess you up.also there is definitely no need to be nervous during breaking of ranks too. its personally my favorite part!

Scott Wagner copyright. They don’t even have their “fan network” anymore

Scott Wagner my dude copyright issues. Started being a serious issue with Tarpon 14 using unlicensed modern music samples. Boa just couldn't afford to pay the licensing.

Corbin Buckley aye my dude

Nick Niehaus suhhhh dude

Honestly i have no idea. I mean its anyone's game at this point

It will probably be Avon, Tarpon, Mason, or someone from the Texas marching band army :D CTJ and Leander will probably be the biggest contenders from Texas, maybe Bowie or Reagan if they're having a good year.

I don't know about CTJ, but Leander's show is going to be huge. Cedar Park is also going and is stepping outside of their comfort zone.

I think the biggest competition from Texas is going to be Flower Mound. They've beaten us (Hebron) for the past 2 years. I don't personally agree with the style shows they use (although they are very well delivered) but they have excellent visual appeal usually.

Carmel over here drinking serious tea ☕️

+Kelvin Chau I saw that!!!!

Their guard instructor is one of the instructors for Crown.

Michael Bowlin their band director is the crown instructor lol

not michael bowlin, matt harloff. and he was brass caption at the time. Jay Webb was avons BD until 2021

5. Well technically 6. Two in the opener, one in the ballad, two in the closer plus the add on to the closer

Simple to understand. Our show made no sense last year which didn't really help our cause. This show very easy to understand which helps make it more enjoyable to watch. Audiences don't like to feel dumb or like they're missing something

TotalRageGaming oh no. I love our music and drill. Saucedo is a genius and I've never been disappointed with Carmels music.

What was it about ?

Cats. The show was called 9 lives. The opener was introducing the cats, the 2nd movement about cat burglars, the 3rd about 9 lives, and the fourth was just idek.

+Jake Letts haha well it sounds better then my friends show

Mozart's Lacrimosa.

Saw Owasso in St. Louis a few days ago. I think they have a great shot a Grand National Finals this year.

Andrew Thompson where are u from

Alumni of Sioux Falls Lincoln

Andrew Thompson are u big in marching band

A bit.

BA isn't going to grand nats this year

The only band that will give us a run for our money will be Ronald Reagan HS and Avon! And I've never been more excited to go up against such amazing programs! I can't wait to see y'all in November!

+The Florida Railfan Productions yeah not Avon this year

Nick Niehaus avons show might be a bit of a mess this year it they will still beat everyone in Indiana and you never know, they could cleanup their act

I heard avon show was really good but they need to clean it. And Flower mound is someone to watch out for this year and Hebron. The Texas bands are in full force this year at Grand Nats.

+Jacob Martin I never got the finals one, Richard only gave me this one through my drop box

+KJKING326 Yes... we have a few directors from DCI

+KJKING326 - Matt Harloff (not sure if I spelt that correctly) is the assistant band director there.

+TheMarcus409 so is the guard director well one of them

Myles and Myles Away lol they got 12th

patriots20002 lol ik I was there
