FLOWERS

[magnatetsp]

EHS has played Knights going back to the early 80s, I think only HU played it in the area before them...not sure. Woodson started playing it in 1990 to taunt Eastern, Ballou started a few years after that. Knights IS Eastern's signature song.

TomazHiton, I want you to reply to this...

I believe that ballou did the damn thing marching wasnt that great...Playing and showmanship was awesome...

Eastern I dont get why they played Knights I mean they sounded good but they should have played somthing different ballou "cranked" the WHOLE parade eastern didnt really play alot..Flowers marching was great but the song ??????? I dont know.....What that was about...Who Do you think did the best and will you be at the BOTB at Coppin State

[TomazHilton]

Its Tradition, most of the parades Eastern have done have always started off with Kights, (look for my 92 footage of eastern), EHS actually played it better (just dont have enuf trumpets as Ballou).

Ballou did great but marching wasnt in sync. (horn swing)

Flowers.... well this is my 1st time seeing them in a parade so i guess they have no knowledge for what to play. i think it has something to do with them performing for opening of a show in DC museme (sp?). and what Botbs at CSU??

[20016614]

Coppin State University....Im Think its gonna be Ballou,Eastern,McKinlley And Im Not Sure What Else...

[TomazHilton]
