  • the one major thing im going to miss when i graduate this year

  • Im in a marching band right now, but I live in the southern part of the U.S. I feel that this documentary is showing what predominantly white school marching bands do. In the south, it's a totally different ballgame. Nevertheless, it's a great documentary. It's just only capturing one stlye of a marching band and that's what predominatly white schools do.

  • I miss marching band more than anyone can fathom. its my life. it really is. my marching band is family.

  • I can't wait to join my high school band next year:D

  • all the blood sweat and tears i shed with the closest people to me are all worth it after we play our hearts out on that last chord, snap back into attention, and hear lucas oil's croud go wild and you know its for you because your the only ones on the field. :) nothing in the world can give me that high.

  • Loved the movie

    :)

  • I have this movie and love it. People really don't understand marching band and what exactly we do. It's something that you can't really explain and that you have to be in band to experience. People tend to try to disgrace things they don't understand. To everyone out there, next time you see a band, show a little appreciation for all the work they do.

  • Marching band is the absolute best! I live for it, they're my second family. Not many people realize that it is an actual sport and understand how much time we spend practicing, memorizing, and drilling our shows. Go Marching Band-ers!

  • The emotions and adreniline rushes are unparralled. This is an awesome video, emcompassing the passion and hard work behind every marching band in America! Love it!

  • I used "Making Me Nervous" for my colorguard captain routine, and the judges recognized the song from this video! I got captain, btw :P

  • @SamiSatisfaction That is Awesome. Congratulations in making captain !! Brad's song is pretty cool. We have a new film coming out this year, called Rhythm Generation, in which we followed 4 schools as they compete in the WGI Winter Percussion World Championships.

  • @FromThe50YardLine That's awesome, I'm on mallets for concert season, next year will be our first year doing indoor. I can't wait to see it!

  • At my high school we have a film class and im part of that. Next year is my senior year and ive been wanting to make a documentary like this to show people at my school and my district that band isnt just playing music.! Proud to be a band geek

  • is this a college or high school marching band?

  • @cranberry133 This is High School. Centerville HS of Ohio, and Fairfax HS in California

  • @FromThe50YardLine Thanks because they're REALLY good!

  • this is why i'm going to be a music educator

    <3

  • Marching band is one of the most rewarding activity [or sport]. I am so glad that they final made a documentary to show people what goes on behind the Friday night lights, or weekend competitions.. it is not always as easy as they think.. but with your second family supporting each other to push through to be better ,what can happen will amaze you. I <3 marching band!!!!

  • Marching band is life and when people say its easy i wanna kick them in the face and be like " YOUR EFIN STUPID" and then throw them out on the feild and make them do it and see how they feel. i hope they get hit int he face with a tuba :P thats love LMFAO

  • I really just love marching band so much, I just love being in the trumpet section. The only support we get is from the parents. I hate how in football games, especially at home at halftime, i actually heard people say "oh its just the marching band lets go gets some food" before we enter the field, that really just pissed me off. I just love marching band to death

    Loud and Proud, WE'RE TRUMPETS!!!

  • Marching band is underrated, WE NEED SOME RESPECT >:O... My band has 682 x_x

  • GO AUXILIARY <3

  • I'm glad they put colorguard in this. Usually no one knows who they are.

  • Marching band is the best :] I just switched to colorguard and this is my 3rd year in the program and I absolutely love it. U really want to watch this movie but I have no idea where to find it :[ and I have fallen in love with the song in the background haha.

  • omg perfect flute angles..epic :O

  • We watched this in my 6th grade band class, it is absolutely PHENOMENAL

  • before i watched this movie i began to wonder if marching band was the right choice but after watching this movie and bringing me to tears during summer band i became determined and commited to band always trying my best at the rehersals and following my instructers directions i got stronger, gained self confidence and maturity. before i new it we were at area finals at the alamo dome. to me this movie changed my way of thinking in ways i didnt expect. ill do anything to stay in band

  • I need to show this in my school. We are considered a sport here, but the students...THE NON-ATHLETIC ones of all, don't respect us. I'm glad they made this though. After all, we do kick our own butts to do what we do. GO MARCHING BAND!!

  • BARITONES FTW!!!

  • 1:13 DAMN. I wanna do that show!

  • i was in the walnut hills marching band and even i can say that centerville is the most amazing high school marching band i have ever seen

  • i bought it yesterday!!!!!Cant wait for it!

  • my drumline played at the grand opening of this movie two years ago at the downtown disney theater in cali. :] i feel special lol Go Western high from anaheim.lol

  • awesome:)I want it and i didnt even go there! I know how they feel!

  • I feel special that I am a proud Centerville Elk xD

    The band director here at Centerville kept on telling me I should watch this and now I am glad I did!

  • im so glad they did this. im buyin this! lol my 1st day of band camp.... i was not expecting what it was like..... woooo and so many people say to me... whats so active about it... its gay. its not its a great thing. also im a lot better at math. idk why but my supiriors say. most who know how to read and play music get better at math. u can call me crazy but its kindof true.....

  • Whoo!! I'm a freshman in the Centerville Jazz Band and its fun to watch this movie with all the places, faces, and things that are familiar yet exiting! Like band camp this year was at the same place as in the movie!

    This years theme is ELVIS man!

  • 1:25 Dr. Tim!!!!!

  • what is the song that comes out in teh background called? it sounds awsome!!!

  • The song is from singer "Brad Sucks" - "Making Me Nervous"

  • Marching band Is harder than anyone gives it credit for being. I'm glad that they made a documentary on it. It's a difficult activity and requires hundreds of hours of work. My band puts in 200+ hours before school starts.

    I love marching band. Tomorrow we start camp. I can't wait to start a new year with a new show. (We're doing Nightmare Before Christmas by the way.)

  • our band's doing guitar hero...i cant wait to see how it all melds together

  • I WANT TO DO THAT SHOW!!!

  • @AngedeleCor yeah i agree. im in this band. i have had 2 brothers go through it and one is the head drum major this year(2011). im even in it now(GO BARRITONES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!).

    and one more thing. the tuba on the front cover has gum on it. the picture does not show it but it does.

  • This makes me miss high school marching band so much.

  • Whoa................thats intense...

  • I <3 Marching band!!!

  • DR. TIM

  • Yay Centerville! Yay Band!

  • I think its great that someone mad a documentary like this. Mauching band is hard work! It is extra hard for me because I am blind in my right eye and I can not see the drum major when I am out on the field. It's even more dangerous because I play the trombone and I have hit a few people in the back of the head once or twice. (ha ha ha!!)

  • speaking of getting hit in the head with a trombone, I was at Texas 3A Marching band Championships, and we were having a TERRIBLE performance, and the spacing was off. Needless to say, when we turned backfield, a trombone slide hit me in the head and almost knocked me over! haha! (I can laugh about it now)

  • last year, one of our flutes took a huge tumble...and it took her almost 30 counts to get back into the form...we're still mad about it cuz we missed 3rd place by 3 tenths of a point...lol

  • eh.. try getting hit in the back of the head with a spinning rifle T_T

  • band is more then just a easy class its a place where friends are made and a bond of a family...

    everyone is on the field and not on the bench...

    every mustgive 100% effort to be a great band...

  • Bari saxes rock. I'll just leave it at that.

  • The music for the trailer is sweet, it's our schools Street Beat.

  • yeahh! go CHS. (*i go there.*) :D

  • I played on that field. Im in the ryle marching band in kentucky. best competition ever.

  • marching bands are awesome!!! i h8 it when people think its just easy and anyone can do it. ITS A SPORT! ITS HARD WORK! its not easy.

  • I know what you mean.....marching band no longer counts as a p.e. credit for us.......but its more than a p.e. class has ever done for me (seeing Ive lost 70+ pounds because of it).

  • band nerds are awesome! Our marching band watched this movie today! I loved it! I wish we were like that!

  • I just went to a screening of this movie. I'm in marching band and everyone who's in marching band should go see it because it's awesome. They do a great job of capturing all the emotion that goes into being in a marching band. It's great. I wanna see it again.

  • i'm so excited its coming to little sufu, sd!

  • Oh, I want to see this so much!!! :D

  • le di mi rating a la pelicula por ke esta buena pero ya ke llegue a puebla mexico

  • se ve ke esta buena la pelicula pero ya mandenla a Puebla,Mex por ke aki es la capital latina de las marching band

  • nice editing. is anyone sponsoring the documentary? also did you pay a lot for the voiceover in this trailer? it sounds very professional, and whenever i make a movie that needs voiceovers i never know who to turn to because i pretty much have no budget. anyway, keep up the great work, i want to do what you do when i get a little older
