Thank you for your service. This show wouldn't exist without your sacrifice. #hero

Jim Sellers thank you for your service sir. 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Let me guess. You watch Fox News. That's the reason why you don't understand why this show lost. This is America's darkest hour. This show is a flagrant political statement. This is like waving US flags during Watergate. We have a president who likely colluded with Russians to sway our election and told his staff to cover it up! Some of them are already in jail and have pled guilty! You watch Fox News, so do you even know this fact? We've had numerous indictments for our President's staff who lied to the FBI about Russian meetings and business deals with foreign adversaries during the election! Trump embarrasses us every day with atrocious lies like there were "millions and millions" of fraudulent votes in the last election, proven false by his own appointed committee. Not to mention Trump's mishandling of Syria, forcing a general to resign because of Trump's incompetence. That's an affront to our servicemen and women like you. The only thing salvageable about this show was they spelled the word Truth on the field, something that the President's news outlet Fox news doesn't concern itself with. (Fox has never won a journalism award, ever. Yet Trump appears on that station every week spouting lies and mis-framing issues, and his lies are documented by scores of respectable international news outlets.) Patriotism is earned. You earned it for us, in part. Patriotism is not shot out of a confetti canon in a marching band show during America's bleakest days. This show is laughably incompetent, avoidant of the real issues, and is hard to be taken seriously. Just like our president, who will soon be indicted. Yay America!?

Jesu Spectre damm dude, you take it too seriously lmao. I thought the show was lit. Also this isn’t America’s darkest hour 😂this is probably the best of this country has been ever

@@nickmueller4151 You don't even use periods at the ends of your sentences. Answer. Do you watch Fox News? You are completely under its spell. You simply cannot be more ignorant. You voted for him, didn't you! DIDN'T YOU!! SAY IT! I voted for a man who colluded with Russians and made underhanded business deals with Russians during the election and met with Russians to sway the election. SAY IT! Then say, "Yay, America!" PS: Yes or no, do you own an outhouse?

Jakob Olsen just making grand nationals alone is amazing!

@@chrissalazar7650 I agree!!!

Jakob Olsen when you’re using to placing very high it becomes the norm placing lower than what you’re used to shocks everyone so you can’t blame people for being upset about their “low” placing

Professionals in entertainment ask this show's designers these questions: *Why a patriotic show now? *Why this year during greivous, embarrassing, racist gaffs by our president, including making fun of disabled people, getting called out for thousands of verifiable lies and deceptions, getting laughed at by Europen leaders behind his back, and telling the American public not to trust voting systems when the vote doesn't go their way, and then getting sued for it in a court of law? How do the long skirt like costumes fit the theme, specifically? How does the word "Truth" tie in to the veterans you're honoring? Are they telling the truth? Are they uncovering the truth? Are they on a quest for truth? Fourth place.

@@StephenKershaw1 The best patriotic show was Bluecoats' To Look For America which questioned military industrial complex authority in this activity. That's some heavy shit. Brilliant.

I was glade to be her partner in part 2! You have an amazing granddaughter.

Amya Whitley you should feel lucky you’re in a band that’s as committed to excellence as y’all are. The rest of us just have to sit here in awe knowing that our band doesn’t care enough to achieve these things. Btw I see that bass clarinet.

Ay I was a freshman when you performed your last show then. I’ll always remember you guys from the first time I saw you guys at OBA. I was appalled that a high school band could be everything like DCI (considering I obsessively watched head cams during the summer before band camp started). I was especially amazed that y’all used go carts haha. Greetings from a guard person in Moore Band! It’s crazy that it’s my senior now. I can’t wait to see what BA does this year

Janie Melton I am so happy you enjoyed our show thank you so much.

@@skylar6713 Are you a member of the band? I have questions about the show...

Brady Hayes What questions?

@@skylar6713 What is the music for the ballad? and is there any significance to the names that were read?

Brady Hayes The song for the ballad is from a movie called brotherhood of war I think, I’m not sure what the name is. The significance of the names read were soldiers that died who were from Oklahoma idk what war they died in.

Sister scandal They're 3 time Grand National Champions, they don't need to hide being in step or not.

Curtis Oltmann Just because they won three times doesn’t mean that they automatically have perfect timing.

and their music is music people learn in grade school, granted it doesnt sound that good in grade school but what they did was easy to achieve especially because their music was simple

The crowd cheered because it was an amazing performance. 4th place is nothing to scoff at. This kind of performance is practically professional quality. Placement is a comparison, but scores aren't, so if Broken arrow is happy with their score that's all that matters.

David Brown I didn’t say that fourth place was bad - it’s quite amazing, especially because they’re the fourth best marching band IN THE NATION! That’s incredible if you ask me. To me personally, I think the crowd cheered because the show was entertaining. I would totally want to watch it for a Fourth of July or Veterans’ Day performance! However, it’s not quite the best performance to be judged. I still think it’s entertaining!

Kelvin K Blue springs built their program from the ground up. I am from the area and I have seen them work their asses off, I say it’s well deserved but I think we’ll see them battle it out again next year

Kaleb Zhu Broken arrow worked their asses Off too how many bands do you know that can pull of an American themed show with such execution and Keep you engaged musically and visually. this was NOT a 4th place show . i totally disagree with the judges Yes Blue springs Show was good but i don't think it was good enough to beat BA Not only that Blue spring only beat them by .15th of a point. And Avon definitely was not better than Avon's how didn't they place in semis but all of a sudden jumped to 2nd. uh uh. But next year will definitely be Interesting and more battles to watch.

Kelvin K and if the scores went out that way I wouldn’t have disagreed.

Kelvin K next year will a Texas band crowned champion. Any one of the top three from San Antonio would have won this contest.

you act like fourth place is bad, other school showed up too this year!! we can’t see the same things that the judges see. and there have been changes in the way scores are done too. there are many factors that play into placements and stuff like that, but in no way is 4th out of 100+ bands bad or a shame

Nah. Blue Springs, Avon, and Carmel all had more unique concepts that were more technical than BA

Adrian Castillo That’s not what the judges were looking for. They were looking for techniques, meaning if they were moving quickly and sliding while playing. Broken Arrow made most of their formations while they weren’t playing.

They had flags, shields, fake trombones, boxes, sabers, and crosses

@@sisterscandal3194 Most of the score isn't technical. Most of the score is general effect- musical analysis and visual analysis. What the show's about and how well lit conveyed it, and whether it had depth of concept. But most band programs don't teach show design. Shame.

This show was supposed to be a slap in the face to BOA for always mocking our hard work we put into shows that most the time people don’t understand so we gave them a dorky and a show everyone could relate to. And we 300+ pieces of equipment on the field.

sillypilotdrummer89 good question

Same w/ Jenks that exact year too

Juan Tinajero Part 1/ Pre show Part 2- 5 are original show Part 6 we added for semis and finals

Francisco Mendoza big false lol

@@ska-doosh763 BIG true lol

@@ohwigoisgs agreed 120%😁

No they should've

Nah I think Carmel still deserved the win, even if it's a 3 year old comment. Having a patriotic show doesn't mean you should win BOA Grand Nats right away like that. The judges thought they weren't worthy of 1st place so they didn't get it. Nothing wrong with that.

Ian Cole more like 2nd and Carmel 1st there's no way this Show deserved 4th or 3rd.

Olivia W29 switch 2nd for broken arrow. i just really don't think Avon's show was better than Broken arrows i just don't🤷🏾‍♂️ they were robbed Big Time.

Avon was great though... their drill is really fast moving while they play and I think they executed it really well. Also their show was just cool in general!

Kelvin K its not about how cool or good a show is its how clean the performance was and avon was much more clean than broken arrow

Olivia Jensen is her name

Natearl13 lol who doesn’t

Sorry, but Carmel was fantastic hands down and finished right where they should have.

@@1049berkeley thanks bro

People need to stop hating on Carmel so much. They were far better than BA in 2018 yet nobody wants to admit this just cause of previous wins.

Scott Mann you had difficulty watching Blue Springs???

I don’t agree with Carmel winning it was well done but not nearly interesting. But Blue Springs and Avon were very good

Eduardo Espinoza Yes, they are a highschool band

@@lexy9018 they are bog

@@lexy9018 big*

@@eduardoespinoza1362 the school is like 4000 students

They have not been putting out the same caliber of shows they used to do.
