Out of curiosity who wrote some of those pit parts? To be perfectly honest, it seems like the ridiculously cutting Xylo rums should have been on Marimba, and I felt a couple runs where there simply because they could be. Other than that, a very challenging shoe pulled off marvelously. Kudos.
Does the pit march all the time? If so, cool. I really don't like the whole 'corp style' influenced pit percussion. It seems like it only should be there for absolutely necessary parts.
im not dissing your band but stop saying yuor the best i know my band isnt but we ar eprety good we arnt for presision we are for fun (west holmes knights) just relax ill have some of our cadences up soon though our band director writed all of ours
I didn't get the chance to see your guys' show this year. I'm excited to see it -- I hope someone puts it up on YouTube sometime! Congrats on a successful year!
I don't understand why park center gets so beat up on by other bands. Anywho I say good job to all the bands. And I for one have lost respect for the bands whose members have said something bad about park center.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
No offense to park center, but you need to get some tougher music, and your new director may bring that in, which i hope he does. Right now, i thought that your king kong show was kick ass, but this years show was just boring, i do not want to offend anyone by that, but just thought that it would help
You know a comment is gonna be good if it starts with "No offense to park center" lol. Thanks for the input man, i'll make sure to have the new director run the music by you next year to make sure its hard enough.
Anyone who says that Park Center's Music was too easy in 2008 is out of their minds! Anyone with an ounce of musical experience should know that Park Center probably played the hardest music out of any MN band in 2008. If the music is too complex for you to understand I feel sorry for you.

ok but is was really boring, and i am pretty sure that waconia had the hardest music of all, playing at 180, yeah, thats frikin insane, especially when your bass drum line has to do 6's at that tempo, pretty sure SCAC drumline would be the only other drumline that could pull that off ST. WACONIA
Great job to all of the summer marching bands . Litchfield should return to the Vikingland Band Festival. Litchfield is back watch out Mankato,Park Center,Waconia 2009 is going to be great can't wait
Without Park Center, competition for us (Lancers) wouldn't be any fun at all. We look forward to parades where we get to see you guys because you march a great show and are a great band. I sincerely apologize for the comments posted above by people who don't understand that while we compete against each other, we have the utmost respect for each other as well. Good luck with the rest of your season! :) See you at Alex!
Hi PC! i apologize for a few of my peers for some of the things said about you guys. you guys have a great show and i cant wait to see what you can book out at Alex! good job guys!
Hey, sorry about the rude comments park center. Dont listen to those guys there obviously jerks who dont know what they are talking about. You have a great band program and show. Thus you are great competition.
good luck with your season, and we (Lancers) will see you at Alex!
I would also like to apologize for the rude and inappropriate comments that were posted. This is in no way the view of the lancers! We highly respect your organization and all that you do! I wish you guys luck in the rest of your season!
I hope that all of the Park Center members can accept my apology for the comments that were posted. I hope that your views of the Lancers does not change because of these hurtful comments. We have a lot of respect for both you and all of the marching bands. Congratulations on your season, you are doing great!!! Can't wait until Alex! Again please do not change how you feel about the Lancers because of these comments. Good luck for the rest of your season!!! :D
I hope that all Park Center band members accept my apology for all the hurtful comments that were posted on this video. I also hope that you don't take these words to be the true thoughts of what the Lancers think of you and your organization. We have the up most respect for you and all other Marching bands.
Hope you keep up the great work and I can't wait to see you guys at Alex! :)
Hey, on behalf of the Lancers, I'd like to apologize for those rude comments that were posted. I think some people were just a bit ticked that Park Center ruined our undefeated season. And true, I'm ticked too, but hey, there's still Alex. ;)
Anyway, I really hope you don't let a few rotten individuals tarnish your perception of the Lancers. I, as well as the rest of the band I'm sure, am looking forward to facing you guys again. Keep up your A game. :)
The Park Center Marching Band is also a very classy organization. In no way is any judge favoring them. They compete evenly with all the other bands. Looking forward to a great challenge with them ahead.
I guarantee you that judge is not favoring us. He judged us at a parade recently and he nailed us. It almost makes it harder to have him judge us because he knows the show and knows whenever we make a mistake. As far as Mankato goes, they are a very classy band (I love that they stand up for Grand Champs) and i am so excited to see them doing so well this year. they sound AMAZING. it's been very close in scores and deservingly so. Both bands are going to have amazing seasons!
dude, mankato applauds you guys to. at the awards, they give every grand champion a standing ovasion. and bands play for the people. if they didnt, theyd be playing on a private location or something.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
park center is only undefeated because of a judge that has a grandchild in the marching band this year, and another judge designed their coreography.....that is really unfair.
The people have spoken twice and said that the 77 lancers should win, and yet the judges are not listening.
Our drill instructor judges us more harshly than any other band. We almost never take his caption when he's judging. Plus, he knows our show so well, he sees every single tiny mistake and is not afraid to deduct, deduct, deduct. Perhaps park center is just awesome. And it's spelt choreography.
agreed, although there winds/brass section is pretty good there drumline is somewhat lacking. and if i remember correctly SCAC was undefeated in the only caption that matters... best drums
Well, thats probably true, but you can't really measure drumline, because of different classes. Waconia always has a really solid line every year, but I'm not sure if you guys really "competed" against them at all least year did you? I'm not sure, but you're in different classes so i don't know if you did or not.
right they do put us in different classes once in awhile. if they do classes but band size we are in a different class, if they do it by POTENTIAL band size we are in the same class. a
I think they are really unique. I love their flags this year. and the orange ribbons along side the band are so interesting. I can't wait to see their show and find out how they are used in their show.
Now this is what I think of when I think Marching Band!!!!! I have to say, this recording doesn't do it justice to how amazing it really is. The microphones are not placed well!
PC undefeated 07' season was indeed spectacular as was WACONIA'S undefeated season in 05' anyone remembers MANKATO'S 2000 undefeated season it's hard to do in Minnesota's parade competition season other bands with undefeated summer season's LITCHFIELD,ALEXANDRIA AND IRONDALE
wow great show! the marching band im in is doing this show for the upcoming 08-09 season and when i heard the show was King Kong i kinda had my doubts, but hearing it performed by a great band is gettin me pumped. great job! XD
Being in this band was one of the best experiences of my life. It made me very proud as an alumni and as someone who has known and marched with many of you to see you guys EARN Alex this year. But, I think the most important thing is when you watch this, you get a little taste of that feeling when you stepped out of judging, the champions that you are. I'd take my hat off to any of you.
the microphone must have been in a bad place because the hornline always sounded quiet or muffled while the drumline could be heard all of the time, quite loudly. looks pretty good anyhow.
OMG!! Who got a hold of this! I want to thank them! LOL! This is the TV show, Bri, because how else would some one be able to tape it from that vantage point? This is amazing! PCMB rocks baby! Woot!
Oh my goodness. This had to have been in TV because if you watch for it during the ballad, you can see the Color Guard with the chain flags spinning around each other and while I am spinning around Bri Roach, you can see me gracefully fall flat on my face. oh geez. But the band looks absolutely AMAZING and I'm glad that I could see some of the stuff I never got to. Very nice!
MARCHING MALLET PERCUSSION. Boo pit! be a man and march your mallets. :D i march bells. oooh yeah.
