This is more like my favorite shows than actually bands, but trying to stay close to the topic. I have been fortunate to see all of these live except for the last one, and I wish I could have seen them live. Of course, its not all inclusive, but am glad these are online to bring back memories of being at these shows. Given my screen name, I'm leaving a few faves out....
Centerville Jazz 2012 "With a Twist" - all those drum kits at the end and the energy of that show.
Flower Mound 2017 "Fractured Moments" - had me with the preset music....and that soloist...
CTJ 2017 "The Forest Through the Trees"- you FELT that initial horn hit...unreal and the trombone hallelujah...
Homestead IN 2014 "Dance of the Wind Spirits" - back in BOA after many years, loved the music and flow of the show.. and they made finals
Tarpon Springs 2014 "Man vs. Machine" - sitting down in front during finals, told my daughter we just watched the winner
Broken Arrow 2018 "The United States of America" - BA has done some weird shows that were not my taste, but loved this show from beginning to end. Gotta admit that it was interesting in 2012 when the band comes out in a fog wearing gas masks and 12-13 girls in big black dresses on risers.
Archbishop Alter 2014 "Assembly Required" - Go little band go. Maybe 40 members with only half being players and no drum major, but crisp, clean, fun and energetic.
Lawrence Township 2018 "Living on Royal Street" - looked forward to watching them live each contest. Fresh Prince of Bel Air on the field and 2017 show with Rumpelstiltskin was downright fun. Not only could these kids play it, they sold it.
Centerville Jazz 1984 - actually competed against this show, found online and forgot about them actually marching an electric guitar and base with a guy in uniform pushing the amp on the field. The starter pistol to announce when judging has started and ended wouldn't fly in today's world.
Castle 2016 - saw this first at state and wow, could Sophie sing.... life is a gift
Carmel 2012 "What a Tangled Web We Weave" - very interesting take on the nursery rhyme and the music, especially when I watched it from up in the nose bleed section with their visuals.
The Woodlands 2017 "In the Garden of Cosmic Speculation" - when you play "How Great Thou Art" and do it so well...
Brownsburg IN 2016 - New director, new style. Loved seeing this one live throughout that season.
Only see this on video but can watch it over and over:
Ronald Regan 2003 "Beyond Perimeters"
