@brianna963258

I watched some of your band, too. They're a good solid high school band.

@brianna963258 I want to see that. The Bergenfield High School marching band marches with the U of A Pride of Arizona.

After my niece gets done with you your clarinet section will be about the best on the East coast. She's a pretty sharp teacher.

This should be made into an on-line fan-film! I can see it now. "Roger Corman and Ray Harryhausen present: INVASION OF THE BATON TWIRLERS FROM OUTER SPACE (Rated PG-13). Coming soon to a theater near you."

By the way, all the words were written and provided by the Mars mission folks. They really wanted it in there. We had nothing to do with that part of the show, it was by request and to make the higher up folks happy, which it did.

[ArmandoJSalas]

The people involved with the Mars mission asked our professor to do this halftime show. It was only a one time deal to celebrate the mission. He purposely made it rediculously easy and campy. We already knew the music and he put things in it that the audience would find cool but the band really knew was pretty silly. That was the purpose. If you think this was supposed to be some kind of awesome show or that we thought this was some awesome show you are mistaken. We had allot of fun

[MarchingGeek13]

The cymbals are on fire

[simplexkitten12345]

That was great, too bad I wasn't in band that year, I would of enjoyed marching that. Love the alien masks and fire!

[Hikarilover123]

Does anyone know the tribute song? I don't Know But I've Been Told? Even if it is there's no good vids on youtube that have it! Someone please give me a link!

[UATwirler]

Lol... the colorguard didn't twirl the fire batons!! The twirling line did!!

[deadhippie61]

personaly i thought it was well played

[gainup]

Wow, brings back memories. I was in the band from 89 to 94, so fun. We played that song a bunch of times!! :) Thanks!!

[agentzchango]

I wonder how many colorguard died in the production of this drill. Maybe that's why there's only like 10. Don't light your batons on fire kids, it only looks cool until you die.

[busterbluth81]

AHHHHHHHH HAHAHA!

Who seriously does a show like that?

[MarchingGeek13]

They intentionally made it a joke

[demayonnaise]

Not gonna lie, that sucked.

[complotaz]

I saw this exact same thing in a sex ed film.

[criegert]

we had to do it. cheese fest...

[fightclb05]

so was that a halftime show or what was it? Random and very high schoolish

[1ce7ea]

The band was commissioned to do a tribute show for what the UA was doing, listen to the words in the video. So they made it as cheesy as possible and what do you know most people loved it.

[2902hawthorne]

Thanks to the band for mixing science and music and sports!

[PRIDEaz7]

I LOVE IT!

[redensemble]
