2001 - LD Bell Marching Band "Exodus" Full Video

[JQuoix]

What I'm more impressed with is that the guy who fell down knew exactly where to go from his stumble and made sure not to run into anyone, especially in drill that busy.

As for why they ended up 4th, that was just an extremely competitive year at the top. I remember the top 5 being within 1 point of each other, and the band that did win (Lawrence Central) didn't win any caption awards and only won by .05 (still love that show, though). Any of the top 5 could've been the champion that night.

I remember this show. It was my first year in DFW band world at Hebron and I saw LD Bell with this show and just went O_O

[buffingup]

i think i see a "random cavies visual" in there...

2003 alumnus here. i loved that show. i remember after wards in the parking lot there were so many emotions Kristin and Steve were the best drum majors ever. lover their salute.

[nickhigh123]

I swear its the same announcer ever year at grand nationals hahah this is a great show

[woodwinds4ever]

Awesome show, but i feel like the uniforms blend into the field a little too much at times. I don't know maybe thats just me.

[TxRaider13]

@Weezer87JL they don't get 4th from a falling fat kid...Way to know what you're talking about fucking idiot

[RobbyRageisFuntastic]

not watch the colorguard wtf? They are amazing and the costumes and work is very well done:) They rock!

[oscarlovesimsgames]

Gaahhh there so freaking amazing(:

i wish my band would put in this much effort as these guys do):

[PitRules922]

@oscarlovesimsgames Same here. Our band just doesn't care. :-/ It despresses me.

[LuxAurumque02000]

What music are they playing???

[missahsee]

as a parent of band kids - watching a lot of competitions, the domed stadiums are just NOT the best place for acoustics...reverb can mess up the center of the beat as my son terms it... but outdoors, where acoustics are best, the weather and if natural grass is mud - that can ruin a show as well. I guess a bowl open-air stadium with turf is best. Then only rain or intense heat can kill a show. Remember State 2002? Awful weather, field (mud) rain, cold. Couldn't see my kids' hard work...

[guitarjoe101]

I love hearing the sound bounce back from the dome. Some bands will specifically design their music package to work well in a domed environment, and Lucas Oil Stadium in Indy was designed with acoustics in mind due to the fact that they have so many marching competitions there.

[betaomega04]

@missahsee RCA dome is notorious for reverb....its a horrible place to perform...

[luke55698]

Amazing show, but those guard uniforms are awful.

[Rotorcowboy]

I'm sure the show was no less than awesome. I just wish I could hear more winds. Too much percussion!

Still liked it though.

[FSUfanOFtheBAND]

Wow awesome show, I can't see the formations really though lol, they are blending in with the ground.

[Mellophone77]

That was the best ending ever!

[DrumManTX]

LD Bell always impresses me, WOW! They probably did pretty well for their first GN.  Good Job! I loved the show!

[guitarjoe101]

I think their colorguard hurt them a bit. They weren't bad, but the work just wasn't interesting enough. You can pretty much watch the entire show and never notice the colorguard. And the fact that they had never been to GN before played a bit of a political part as well IMO.

[insidiousMUSIC]

ABSOLUTELY TRUE, I agree with you. 

They made a huge comeback though with 2007 TRANSCENDents, no denying that.

[DrumManTX]

Yes, very true.

[guitarjoe101]

That had nothing to do with why they got 4th. In my opinion their score should have been boosted because they made such an awesome recovery.

[DUT011]

that is actually one of the most amazing recoveries I have ever seen...

[WackClackBang]

haha! Nicky, Scherme? Its Cat! xD

[quackmofro]

this show is just full of awesome. i swear i've rewound and watched the end a million times now. it still cracks me up to see the directors near the front jumping and pumping their fists and getting excited.

[bandboi19]

Can anyone tell me why the endings of king of kings and exodus are the same? Just curious

[guitarjoe101]

The last couple minutes were so awesome that they decided to do them 2 years in a row.

[clintbhs02]

watch ld bell 98, 99, 00 they are all the same music with the "same" ending

[nachoholic77]

about 2:45 mins into this show is similar to the beginning part of their 08 show: "The Quest"

[zacharyp09]

The last minute in a half was intense lol

[Musicaloner]

Lovin' the 6 basses. 8'D ♥

This is my favorite band, hands down.
