Dude lmao I uploaded this video and I had the only good Jig 2 solo. (JK EVERYONE ELSE WHO PLAYED DID GREAT!)

I like the idea that 6 different marching bands happened to come across each other in the street and decided to have a gang war

They're kids. In the rain. They did a fantastic job and everyone had fun.

When the director is away, the drumline will play.

This doesn't feels like a battle, looks like a jam for me

Just imagine your just in your house, look outside and see this

Definitely a win for the guys in red with the cool hats. Easily the most skilled

I really like how this was not mean spirited at all, but a mutual appreciation of each other's talents. Very different from how the movie "Drumline" portrayed it. I used to play trumpet in marching band and while I enjoyed the healthy competition, I also enjoyed the comraderie with my bandmates and the other bands just doing what we love.

The cymbals over here trying to have fun while still being cymbals

Hearing Jig 2 physically hurt me. Not even because of the snares, but the tenors are all tuned different pitches

I think we should all be reminded that Musicians should never be pulling eachother down. This is about expression. One of these comments could be enough for a Musician who could have been incredible one day to stop playing altogether because they don't feel good enough. This video is fantastic. These are young kids who had to start somewhere and some of them will grow up to be the most incredible drummers you've ever had the pleasure of knowing. They're having FUN. They're learning together, growing together. Constructive criticism is what we should be offering eachother. Point out their positives, and HELP them where they could use some help. Open up your minds. Raise eachother up.

Dude the way they all come together at the end shows they’re all true musicians! I don’t really see this as a battle but more just jamming and highlighting their talents 🖤

5:36 for the win in the solo💯

Out of people’s toxicity. This is a mere showcase of what a true sportsmanship means. Kudos guys! Not perfect & some mistakes but what’s important is Music binds all of us musician together.

It's great to see so many schools doing a collaboration. Would have loved to be there! Brings back sooo many great memories!😀

Let's just call it a six-way tie... they were all fantastic!!

Shoutout to the kid at 3:20 who is having the time of his life

I may two years late but…. Damn everyone did a frickin epic job. When everyone played the same rhythm at the same time, it was overpowering and amazing. You could feel the energy radiating off the cold group of kids just having an amazing time.

kudos, the red band in the rain suits is obviously a competitive band and good on them supporting the rest of the bands there and not being dicks about it, director taught them well

Honestly yes they messed up jig 2 a lot. But what i find cool is that every band got together and instead of just competing for "the best drumline", they got together to attempt jig 2. And if you see it in that perspective, thats magical. It shows that even if you are against each other, you are all brothers and sisters as a big band family. You all enjoy what you play and thats what makes us one big band in the end.

This is incredible. Not because 6 Drumlines all joined together in battle, but because 6 Band directors said yes.

As a trombonist, I have no idea why I’m here or what the hell a, “jig 2,” is.

I'm from Denmark and we do not have "band" as something you can go to and have fun with.. and sure i can hear that they miss some hits or play out of what they are capable off but this is all about the enjoyment of playing together and i feel that its really cool to see so many play at once from different schools.. and I'm sure that they all had fun doing this even with the rain.

I absolutely love this Each band has their own style and theyre all amazing, they are quite young and already have such great skills just imagine how amazing they will be when theyre older 10/10 would love to watch them live one day

As a former (and proud) band geek, this rocks! So much talent and I love the unity of it.

When one jig unites 6 school bands...911 call: "Yeah, I have a noise complaint.." Operator: "Yeah isn't it awesome!?"

First kid soloing on the toms at 4:05 in red frigging killed it

I wouldnt say battle this is just multiple drumlines jamming vibing and having fun

Thanks to youtube I no longer have to imagine what it will be like if 6 school bands decide to have a six way drum battle outside my door!

damn yall are so mean, just let them jam and have fun! this honestly looks like so much fun

Almost all of their technique hurt my soul. Also if ur gonna play jig 2 you should know your tempo limit

This was so cool. These people all had a great time. Loved seeing the looks on their faces when they nailed it. And it looked like just a good time! Great collaboration between these groups. Loved seeing it.

I wish I could’ve done this kinda stuff when I was in drum line all through high school lol! We only got to play at games, MCBA competitions, and homecoming parades but I still loved it! Always make sure to cherish every moment of band class bc it goes by sooo fast😅

All the snares were off 😂

I truly truly think this video is beautiful, as person that was born into serious poverty I’ve seen what people become when they lose hope. What I see when I look at these kids and what I hear as they jam out is the will of a generation that needs guidance. They want to live, and they want to be excellent; even though it’s just drums I look at the fact that they’re wanting to be there doing those movements getting better and most of all having a inexplainable time. •Without reading the comments I was gonna make a comment, I still am and it’s unchanged but everyone “cringing” at the “skill of these kids” is literally cringe themselves for saying useless negativity about KIDS HAVING A GOOD TIME. I decided to put this after my original comment just so the meaning won’t get lost.

THAT RED SQUAD GO HARD!!! WITH THEM JACKETS... LOL

Just put a big ole smile on my face. So many great memories of being in band. Bunch of talented hardworking kids having a great time! Awesome!

My drum section would burn them

Why’d that dude playing cymbals look at me like that

This was amazing. I do have to agree that the some of the tenors were on different pitches and they started the Jig 2 off rough but when they came in and played the last two songs like a one ensemble instead of 6, that was amazing.

I love how even in the rain these drum lines all came together and killed it

Every other band there that watched this good job! You guys played super well and was super fun to play👍🏻

Only reason why I go to football games god that was great

This is awesome, be proud of your craft kids, they can't even hold back their smiles, just having a blast out there!

I love the sound of the 🥁 . Thanks for uploading this.

Drum battle? Nahhh. It's a party while it's raining. Greatest day ever.

Im a drum player myself and this is fucking awesome 10 out 10 with the amount of bad ass u all are and to see all of come together playing like pros is what i call the power of music 🔥🔥 rock on guys rock on 👍🔥🔥

I love how whenever drumers cross paths there's immediately a battle 😆 I love drums much

Legend has it in this small town the six rival schools drum it out for supremacy every year for who's top dog in the area.

As a clarinet player, me seeing them clarinets getting wet hurts me so bad.

As a sousaphone it's my job to vibe in the background and then play seven nation army as loud as physically possible in the stands

God how I loved to drum battle,passing sticks,twisting sticks,dancing ,...TOTALLY ROCKING VIDEO..

I don't know where this is taking place, but I love it that they are all playing together. All are great!

Sometime I want to see the baseline do the jig 2 solo

6 different teams but the synchrony is awesome...👌👍 perfect beats to go by with each team. 👏👏👏

They showed so much respect for one another and they really enjoyed it despite the rain!

I am so impressed with the talent of these students!

This is actually really cool .. good effort from all the teams but the Reds with the funky hats rocked it for me 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

So much talent, thanks to everyone involved

That’s one hell of an epic battle you get hyped up for any sporting event and have fun as well 😂

That madness that began when they all got back on it was insane

4:01 That just doesn't look natural

This is what KZfaq is made for! Awesome video! Reminds me of my marching band days some 35 years ago

Happy people came together and made everyone happier,. God Bless you all🙏

This makes me happy...a good ole jam sesh 😊

Honestly this is one of my favorite band vid cus all of the other videos I watch is was all heated (you can say ) like I felt a lot of hate but this one is all fun games and making music

That was awesome. It brought a huge smile to my face!

You guys are just bloody awesome each and every one of you proud of all of you

The only takeaway I got from this is that they’re all having hella fun and it’s cute to watch

if i'd live in any of the houses nearby, i would'have been like. Dafuq are you doing in the middle of the rain? And then jam together with it.

I never knew this was a thing or that im well into it, until now! Amazing talent and showmanship!

When I first clicked this video I thought I would watch for about 6 seconds max, I must say i lasted the whole video. Much respect to these kids their absolute legends for this 🤘🏽

1:25 Mario Kart star boost?

Imagine one of these guys auditions for Blue Devils 🤣🤣

Drums just wake up a primal instinct from the times when we were all tribesmen. They just connect to something deep inside and make you bounce like mad! Great stuff!

Excellent drummers! They sure look like they had a lot of fun.

That is an amazing jam, regardless of drummers qualifications. The spirit of unity is overwhelming.

2:45 is the best part

No lie that is the best mashup I have seen in since the beginning of history classa and we'll know how much more we would rather be in percussion or music classes... Y'all went H.A.M Google it... Anyways perfect mix up I love you all no homo! Please do this for your highschool reunions and mash up the town!

AMAZING! DONT STOP PLAYING..EVER! YOU ALL HAVE AN AMZING GIFT!

1:07 Someone: AWWW MAN

Legendary is not how I would describe this

I am watching this in the year 2022 and I love the comradery. Thanks for Posting....

These are the beautiful things that I like to see us doing. Not the politics, greed, and hating just innocence and working as one while having fun. If we could turn around every block and experience events like this that drop our draws everywhere we go; you can't put a price tag on that.

2:28 XD stick bugg

That was funny, i feel the conexion of the people with the music. :3

Look, as a percussionist I get this whole Jig 2 thing, but who cares. What I saw made my soul smile, I saw a bunch of young men having fun and making music and enjoying themselves regardless of crappy weather. Rock on young dudes. This is a moment they'll recall fondly.

This came in my YT feed today and it was epic!

We just gonna gloss over the fact that dude at 4:21 has an accordion??

6:10 girl knew she f up lmfao

It was lit. That has to be one of my favorite epic drummers in a battle.

This is the kind of music and activities that bring people together.

Rain or shine drum battles continue.

6:22 Guy on the right was tryna tap them off lmao 💀

I really enjoyed this video....thank y'all 😊

Made me smile, I was quints my freshman year, moved to second snare my sophomore year, my junior year I took percussion section chief but was on quints because all three quint drummers graduated and no one but me had played them so I spent my Junior and Senior year section chief on quints and training freshmen and Sophmores on them. I liked them more then snare anyhow. Had the chance to join marching 110 at Ohio University but knew I was to wild still and needed to grow up before taking the scholarship so turned it down and joined the Marine Corps as an Infantry Rifleman. Did 12 years in the Marines and 5 deployments, my final deployment I was wounded and resulted in direct impact brain injury and the thing it has really messed was my ability to play the quints. My son tried out a year early for the drum line and made it to quints hahaha I have never played in front of him but he has heard recordings from our shows and he just picked it up naturally. I am going to try to get my ability back to playing like I used with him. Awesome show. Thank you for posting, brought back some awesome memories

As a saxophone player, I am cringing for all the woodwinds getting rained on right now. The Pads and their Glue!! Does no one think of the Pads?

4:42 damn this guy

Its 5 in the morning, I don't know how I got here, but god does this video bring me back to the good old days of high school drumline

Drum battle? More like birth of the quad legends! Seriously though, this is the first time I've seen quads steal the show from snares. Love the talent here
