[cj1lorenz]

[jackingskibf9]

=o i was here when they played this band thing i was with the middle school bands i played for woodcrest it was kinda crappy thoughXD i remember this day ...was the best day off myy life

[JennTheGiraffe]

</3

[travistxus]

I'm sure the drumline was like "We have to march through what!?"

[RosaLovesOrange]

who is the composer of Opportunity??

[roliv13]

@RosaLovesOrange John Mackey

[Drummerboy127]

@roliv13 john mackey just wrote two of the pieces arranged for the show, the arrange is john meehan

[RJ132991]

I Don't get the show....

My Band (or the band I was in since I'm Graduating) is gonna do this show next year.

Idk why, but we're/they're for some reason driven to be better than THESE Guys.

So far so good I can see. ;)

...I'm jk. :) .......Obviously, right? ;)

Seeing as how personal opinions are never allowed on youtube. :\

[guitarherocrusader]

Lol, this is super beast I especially like the part from 7:30 - 8:00

[randomnerd130]

bari saxes are soooo awesome especialy the one next to the tubas

[darkknight3993]

Best WBA show in 2008 IMHO

[monkiezrock1]

..... your band IS SO AMAZING IM SO JEALOUS D:

[x0XHarleyX0x1]

u should be :D<3

[suta07]

wow you guys drove it home this year. You didn't care what place your were in or were gonna get. You went out there with a give them nothing but take everything attitude. And my it showed just in this video. Wish I was there to cheer you guys on ayala.

[cj1lorenz]

were students pushing the doors?

[Ichliebegermany]

I was at ayala for a polo tournament and over heard the band this year. nice you guys have a nice broad sound.

[lakermagic32]

interesting arrangement of turbine

[themagicsushi]

you guys played sleep by eric whitacre!

such a beautiful song!!

i love you guys! :D

[phoenixcaifeng]

I miss dancing behind the doors at halts.

[randomnerd130]

your bari saxes are soooo handsome especially the one next to the tubas

[sandra8D]

lol i love the airplane that flies through XD gawshh i miss this so much T__T

[Drummerboy127]

Ive noticed that Ayala misses many opportunities. LIke IN 2007 actually when they had the best chance to finally beat Logan and for the Indoor Drumline to make the top 3 at WGI finals. Still love ayala. SoundGarden 2009!

[Drummerboy127]

SoundGarden 2009! AYALA!

[BSRTenor08]

Man, If people think it's impressive from this angle, they sure need to see it from behind. Those doors were very, very clever if I must say.

[klhotjoker]

OH YES ayala, i hated the announcer hella annoying -__________- ayala's band is hella good, gonna be there next year FA SHO!

[jadebrew]

I'd like to see this band at Bands of America Grand Nationals.. Nice job!

[suta07]

they've gone twice now. Once in 04 and made finals and again in 07 (their best show imo). Expect them there again in like 2 or 3 years

[jadebrew]

I'm sure it's alot of dough to transport a band that big with equipment to Indy for Nationals.

[powdersmells]

It always amazes me how hard it is to catch mistakes in these shows, mostly because I can never find them.

[randomnerd130]

i love your bari sax

[PaolaQQ]

When we saw your show for the first time we were all amazed with genius idea of having all the equipment IN the doors...well walls actually XD... oh yeah and at the beginning we were trying to fiqure out who was pushing the doors, until we saw them marching away with flutes later on..and i was like WTF?!? did they pull those out of their uniform?!? and then I figured it out the first time colorguard pulled their equipment out. very clever.

[RC9427]

Blue Devils Licks

SICK!!!

[Jerahmeel]

sexier than logan

[Jerahmeel]

way sexier...

[giantsfan188]

@Jerahmeel sure.

[flargot]

[boywhoisazn]

Dang...you guys have hella shiny instruments.

[chutdigadut]

clean drumline :-)

[garegare101]

[bluewatermelonsky]

5A class.

[RHSfloutist]

this show actually brought tears, and a rush of adrenaline into my system!!!!!! it was phenominal!!!

[hawaiisboy13]

fuck this is awesome

[phoenixcaifeng]

Oh, the doors.

They are HEAVY. -_-

And I still have my scars.

[RHSfloutist]

it must'a been tough to roll those doors on the turf, huh? it look like it may have been.

[phoenixcaifeng]

Nah, thank God for AstroTurf.

But then again, my door almost tipped over.

What were they.. over 100 llbs..

Ahah, I should record a video of my scars from the door's sharp edges.

[RHSfloutist]

WOW!!!! thats hella HEAVY!!! well, im glad none of you got killed by 'em. the way you used them was awesome!

[phoenixcaifeng]

Thank you. ;)

[SorasNobody88]

LOL I'm curious.... on your drill... did the doors have Dots or what??? Lol, you guys are amazing. Always love to see you guys live, go California!!!

[phoenixcaifeng]

Yeah, the doors's dots were always 2 steps ahead of our own.

[yamasuz]

I broke my horn in that show.

;)

[randomnerd130]

i love your bari saxs

[xXSaviorOfTheDarkXx]

Amazing :) seen the show many many times and still love it. From the first time at the comp at Ayala to the finals at DVC, still great :D

[suta07]

you should of gotten a gigantic standing ovation, i would have jumped screaming my lungs out and throwing babies left and right at you guys and if i ran out of babies then i would throw senior citizens.....its that good...no great....no amazing..... if you march corps you will understand the whole baby throwing thing :) i highly suggest many of the band members from all bands march whether its BD, SCV, MANDARINS, PACIFIC CREST, or any world or open class corps, you wont regret it

[spatzonfloor]

I'm curious, who are the people actually moving the doors? Are they band members or guard members?

[altintl]

they are band members.

[phoenixcaifeng]

Band members;; specifically, 6 flutes, 6 alto sax, 7 clarinets, and a trumpet.

:)

[hollywoodbabe16]

omg this is the best band i've ever seen. WOW. so awesome(:

[StuntLikeABoss2010]

yeahh.. ayala's band is amazing

[xJunchanx]

im a tuba from logan (smallest guy in the tuba line)and i was really worried you guys were gonna kill us and I think u deserved a waybetter score for this show.

[IIIIIIIIIIllllllllll]

[flutepower]

[Lecmar91]

Okay..it's 5:45 in the morning and i had to watch this again. ayala is contagious, i mean in a good way. i just can't get enough of you guys. the song arrangements are stuck in my head, but i just had to see this video. you guys should've won. well anyone could've taken the prize, but for me, you, ayala, won. lookin forward to next year's show:D BTW after i heard your arrangement of Sleep, its helping me get back to sleep. goodnite.....-_-zzzzzzzz

[webrowncnl]

Awesome show guys!!! You should have won. :)

[DancerGuy04]

Very Impressive!! You guys totally should have won at WBA Championship. I hope you guys do well at BOA Championships! Great job to the colorguard, percussion, drum majors, band members, parents, and the directors. You have a great show!!

[dresofresh7]

Wwow...wat a great show...im really impressed...hope u guys compete against us next year...sophmore, James Logan Front Ensemble.

[flutepower]

Congrats Ayala, u guys hav the best show ever, I'm from a differnt band but I think if anybody deserved first it's u guys, great job

[flargot]

impressive!!

[shawnABAC]

GO AYALA!!

[1valgal4u]

Great camera work. Wish Reedley High School would get invited to this competition. Everybody might enjoy seeing a band with a different kind of performance. Great Job Ayala!!!

[Drummerboy127]

You don have to get invited

Just sign up

[JustflowProductions]

judges are just biased to the chino hills area ;). :[

Chino hills didnt make champs WHEN THEY TOTALLY SHOULD HAVE!

[TwistedOrder12]

@JustflowProductions

LOL Chino Blows.

[xGerardxLindsayxWayx]

@JustflowProductions you have to admit, though, chino hills bands are pretty badass :)

[Fransizzzzzzle]

i think that 2000 ushered in a new era of highschool marching band choreography and props. I mean bands be using em now like cazy. I think that this was my favorite 2008 show from another band. Great job Ayala.

[lovelyanimeangel]

ahhh!!i'm gonna miss marching band so much!!i cried so much at finals! T_T

[hawaiisboy13]

Ayala got ripped hardcore. This show should have won. WBA is ridiculous. Congratulations on your Championship Ayala. YOU deserved it.

[Fransizzzzzzle]

i think in some ways, the judges are biased. but thats just my opinion.

[RHSfloutist]

I REALLY WANTED TO WATCH THIS SHOW!!!!! IM MAD THAT MY SCHOOL LEFT B4 THE 4A/5A bands!!!! i really love Ayala! they are the best, in my opinion, in CALI!!!

[pandabozu]

the same thing happened to me...

[bandgeekasaurus]

huge band and great performance...i wish i could see it from a helicopter view so i could see all the forms...that would be cool...

[oseandragon]

wow that was great guys another great performance to add to the legendary collection of Ayala finals performances!!!

[anonymousenough]

Incredible.

Foothill (Pleas) Band Fan

[avhsbandcouncil]

So creative -- I love the steps Ayala has taken in the past few years to be original! The rendition of Sleep is gorgeous. Loved, loved, loved your show. So much. 5:13 is beautiful!
