Stratford HS Marching Knights 2008 - Kyoto Nocturne

[nextJW]

if we could get a time machine and

take the battery from '03 and

'08, the pit from '04 and '08 and the brass / woodwinds from

'03 and '04....that says "HELLZ YEAH" to me....

(btw, this is Jamie, I marched 4th bass in

'04 / 9th grade, then moved to florida in

'05)

well thats really great, you guys really perservered even though you change band directors so many times. job well done :)

[clarinetgeek7299]

how many are in stratfords band?

i mean for such a small band (Atleast in 5A), im loving your big sound. This was a pretty cool show too. The drill was very interesting..what did you guys end up making at finals? I was so busy crying over our place I guess I forgot yalls :p

But yeah, pretty cool show. Sure there are some mistakes..but I think for such a small band yall are doin pretty good!!

I'm watching it right now, and I love this string solo btw. It's awesome.

[clarinetgeek7299]

thats great. have you guys made finals before? is this yalls first year at 5A?

i really thought you guys did very well, considering that youre ATLEAST 50 people short for most bands. your show was actually cool (and interesting to watch..you dont really come across that alot anymore).

The last time we made finals was in 2003 with the show Delilah (also here on youtube) when we were around 170-180 members. It took our band all of my 4 years to get to this point but not without a lot of trial and error, 2, basically 3 directors and a lot of learning.Our director put a lot of thought into finding the perfect balance in a show. We,as a band do some things well and others not so well and we found the middle ground between a judge pleasing show and a crowd pleasing show. Great Year

oh man, Delilah.

We finally were able to over come the curse of Tutankhamen.

I really hope next year doesn't suck.

We are probably going to be even smaller.
