All I can say is wow... Looks like it is the year where everything comes together for Tarpon. Incredible Brass, Woodwinds, Colorguard and Percussion. I was very entertained and cannot wait to see what this fantastic band delivers in Indy. In my opinion... Definitely a contender.

Those runs, their sound, the design all came together so perfectly thus leading to give me major goosebumps. Congratulations on first place. You all deserved it:)

Wow! Great show!!! People need to stop the hate. I am a Broken Arrow Pride Alum and we should all be proud of all the bands for the hard work they put in. LOVE this show and the music.

Now that is how you use woodwinds. Thank you Tarpon Springs!

I'm a little late saying this but thank the god you guys won. I was at finals and just blown away by what you guys can do and how moving a show can be. (I was as high as you could go at Lucas oil) I could follow every thing you guys did unlike some other shows i watched that night.

I've followed this band for a few years now and man you all are cranking it and getting better and better! I love you guys keep it up!

those who dislike the band have a right to your opinion and that's just fine. i'm related to someone in the band and i have NEVER seen a group of high school students work as hard as them. when i watch them i forget that they are just "kids". they worked their tails off to get to this level. its not an easy task and they should be looked at in a positive light. and as for the money part, thats a bunch of nonsense. how does tarpon get the funds? again hard work doing fundraising events at both raymond james field and at the trop during the baseball season. both of which i have worked very hard to help them out without making a dime for myself. this is NOT a rich band. they are a band that has a lot of family and community support. so why dont we all just focus on the music and achievements of not only them but all the bands out there. CONGRATS TARPON. so proud of you all.

Their music is so hard and flawless, until I heard this show I definitely thought broken arrow should have won but now I've changed my mind. Tarpon springs clearly deserved it.

Congrats on winning, you guys. I was glad to be able to see your performance live at both Seminole Sound and East Lake!

Well uhhhhh it looks a lot different that what dude predicted... Congrats TarponSprings. Its been a great year for your performing ensembles... Tarpon Springs is a class act and deserved the success they are now experiencing... Been a long journey

God, I would do anything, to be in this. They are so amazing. My band can't even qualify for state.. Jesus. I didn't think being this good in a high school marching band was possible. I love this.

i love my band family so much.

I agree with you Justin. Out of the top 5 that will be at finals this is the best show. Hopefully the scores reflect it because they deserve it!

They're going to give Broken Arrow and Avon (who I thought was going to be unbeatable) a run for their money. I also heard Marion Catholic may be a top 5 contender. This year is going to be insane.

Best in the country. End of story

That. Was. Incredible.

Can't wait for them to perform this Friday, the experience will be 10x better.

Hmmmm...I am sooooo happy they march percussion. I believe it just enhances their ensemble as a whole. I like this show better than Broken Arrow's-this year.

How is this level possible out of a high school??? Truly amazing!!!!!

This show is so awesome

Im so glad I got to see yall at BOA even though you guys beat us yall deserved first place for sure! Congrats!

What the craaapppp why are they so amazing???

My favorite BoA show

BOA champions! :)

Chills. They are so perfect.

Is this a grass field? Hope the uniforms are fine after the performance. I work in a uniform staff in my band and getting stains off a uniform is hard work!!!

Incredible talent, work ethic, instruction and design. I am curious as to whether they use wireless mics on the woodwind section as a whole in addition to the soloists.

this band intresting>< very powerful

11:21 when the trumpets came in it gave me goosebumps

where in a competition with them this Saturday good god we have our work cut out .

Outstanding!! This band has to be on steroids.

Whats the music selection they chose?

William masons show is pretty good this year

This is way too good for me to function

Their ballad is amazing. Does anybody know what's the song?

What's the name of the love song?

What is the name of their show?

Holy Shit. Congrats at 1st :D

So much dancing

What is the name on the ballad ( slower song)

ughhh i want to be in part of this school lol

Anyone know what their balled is called? Starts at 7:40 almost.

One of the member lost their plume. Congrat on first!!

They got first at BOA

God I wish I could do this with my band, they're all a bunch of lazy kids except for a select handful.

@Savant Crystian Man vs. Machine

Incorporating dci type visuals and forms in the show. A little bit better tuning at the beginning for the brass. And slow down the 16th notes in the woodwind feature, make it cleaner. Fantastic show overall for Tarpon.

Congratulations on winning! But this show is not very good and it's way too standard. I think the judges in Indiana are pathetic and uneducated. I was hoping that Marian Catholic would win but now i'm thinking twice.

Gimmicks, narration, pre-recorded music... But where are the hits that raise the hair on my arms and blow me out of my socks? After watching DCI and BOA this year, I just feel like we're losing the basics. That said, congrats on winning nationals. The students are obviously fantastic performers and work very hard. It's the show concept I'm not keen on.

A band that relies more on visuals than the music , how nice . I've seen better

I'm gonna enjoy watching Carmel, Broken Arrow, and Avon walk all over them in Indy. Their playing, marching, and conceited attitudes are covered by the fact that they're popular and have so much money that they can buy themselves competition victories.
