Oregon Marching Band 2003 #1

I am so proud to have been involved in this show. It was the highlight of my four years in the OMB :-)

OH CRAP I was at this playing the flute in my band! MVHS and this our stadium. Man this brings back memories

Thanks for posting this! I played piccolo in 2002 and 2003 for OMB and loved it! This was a grueling show, but really something to be proud of.

Not that it matters much, but this was the 1st performance of this show. Also, the OMB isn't your typical marching band. It's about the competition-style. Music Ed majors are required to take two years of OMB for the degree so, yes, this how a high school or corps-style show would look; it's all by design and curriculum.

Its good i guess, but for some reason and this is in almost all highschools and in all states but the music tempo is speed up, which i dont like :(

[Saxophoneguy2001]

Every tempo was the same tempo as the original.

This is incredible! This seriously inspired me to consider joining marching band again next year. *sigh* I got soo many shivers up and down my spine watching this!

[Travisr19]

also, just a note.... How many schools have you seen that play great musical stuff but just stand there while they play.... I thought it was called "marching band". Wow... they play great music and the fans love them.....but they just stand there.... "hey...why is the pep band on the field?"

[ryrycalguy]

OMB is a great band but nothing about them says COLLEGE band. It's all very "drum corps" and "high school" IMO.

And to the guy in the Bruin Marching Band: I'd take the UCLA Marching Band over this any day.

Either way.....good job on this competition-style show! However, thousands of drunk football fans wouldn't care for it.

[Travisr19]

I would have to agree with you ..... and I would have to say the majority of the OMB would agree with you too. We all know this isn't a "Fan Friendly" show. Thats not what we were all about. We base a lot of our show on the drum corp styles and we enjoy producing a quality competitive style show. We do play some fun stuff in the the stands however. Its crazy when you here the student section yelling "Move bitch, get out the way."

Impressive performance. I was thinking about joining the OMB next year on snare. Are you currently in the band?

[Paulcsulb]

i think that the university of Oregon is the best, i've heard them live against the ucla and others and they are truely awesome and i know the hard work that goes into those shows, i was in a marching band and field work is a lot harder...and i was in a good band too

Great Job, OMB is really good, but will never get the respect they deserve unless they get rid of those terrible uniforms, they should be the Nike Marching Band.

OMG!!! I was in this show. I remember that year. It was the best and the last year I did marching band. Will never forget that show. True we rehearsed a lot, but with good intentions in being the best marching band, and we were! Go Colorguard Girlz!!!!

[jhype17]

I've never seen them in person (except the Basketball band, which is amazing), but I'd have to say Oregon is probably the best marching band in the Pac-10--this coming from someone in the Bruin Marching Band.

[dreadgerbil]

My fiance was in the OMB for a long time and took part in this show.

I remember her being constantly exhausted at the time because the practice was so gurelling, but also being incredibly proud of the job the band did performing it.

Gave me a lot of respect for marching bands.

This is "Jack Sparrow" we got this music for concert band a few weeks ago.. We are still learing it though..

[jazzstudtrumpet]

Nice job!
