2007 Moanalua High School Marching Band & Color Guard

[baitcast256]

Hi Maria. Congrats to Yuma! And thx for watching.

I'd agree that '07 wasn't one of our better shows - our marching band director was on sabbatical that year, so our asst MB director took over that one season. Our MB director writes all our drills and his absence showed in '07. We were glad to have him back in '08.

I think musically, the most difficult field show weve done recently was this years adaptation of David Holsteins In The Springtime, When Kings Go Off To War (see below).

Watch our 2005 field show Pirates (the show that put Moanalua HS MB & CG in the national spotlight), 2008 show 1001 Arabian Nights, and this years show When Kings Go Off To War.

BTW, our MB will be in your area very soon! Were going to be the first MB in line in the upcoming Fiesta Bowl parade on Jan. 2. We were also invited to compete in the Fiesta Bowl National Marching Band Field Show Championship on Jan 1, but were 3,000 miles away from AZ, and with the current economy, only 75% of our band could afford to make the trip. We cant do our field show with 60 members absent - were doing the parade at 3/4ths strength.

Aloha!

Dude, you guys totally took the idea from 1993/1994/2003 RCC show.

[baitcast255]

No, we didn't. But if you say so . . .

[Kapono79]

Sorry dude, VanceHu is right. Different arrangement for sure, but RCC concepts.

[baitcast256]

VanceHu, Kapono79 - that's cool. Same concept with different arrangement is fine. Similar to the "push" that some feel was copied from Mililani. It's not "copied" or "plagiarizing".

BTW, Moanalua has been invited to participate in the National Marching Band Field Show Championship in Tempe, Arizona on January 1, 2010, and in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl parade the following day. Go Menehunes!

god i wish campbell's band was this big.....

[Thirty7mm]

There are so many marchers, they must be the biggest AAA band

[Thirty7mm]

Wow the guard is so much better than ours

[blocparty22]

Our band is doing a show with What is Hip? and So Vey Hard to Go and Johnny's mambo for Dirty Dancing. In a junior and i play trombone in our band (Morgantown High School Red & Blue Marching Band). This will probably be our last good field show since next year we have the opprotunity of playing in the 2009 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. And your band is very similar to the direction of ours excpet we have about twice the amount of memebrs in your band (375 this year). Good luck in 2008 shows.
