1994 Union H.S. Marching Band - Batman

[Blazersenior06]

How did they do?

[babiegyrl7807]

WOW I still have this uniform in my closet right now, yeh this does make me feel old. I'm showing this to my son who is in 7th grade band. I miss it, i still have dreams about marching, lol

[benbrez116]

yeah lol im in in now haha this is so weird

[serisho]

oh god, they meow.

[earlywirlybird]

Amazing for a high school band. They're huge too..

[ThisChickRulezd00d]

This has to be the greatest show I've seen performed by a high school to date (:

[gsitek1]

Wow, this brings back lots of memories. I was a senior flute player. This was a fun show to march to. I remember those uniform pants itched like crazy too! Sad to see people that have passed on....15 years it has been a while.

[kasmith2020]

One of my favorite shows ever. Seriously...awesome!

[MiniMuffinJenkoChan]

0:14 ftw :D

[Whitneyjv]

i was at OBA but it was in 2008 lol

[Bekah576]

Wow, I can't believe how long ago this was. Makes me feel old lol. I believe I was either in my freshmen or sophmore year at Union when some of my best friends performed in this. Unfortunately, my family and I had to move away from Oklahoma so I lost contact with them, but I still remember and still am very proud of them and the school I attended. Union was the best school system I was ever in. Thanks for posting this on youtube, brings back good memories!

[KK437]

O; Amazing

[alildrumhappy]

That was the last year BOA gave out best percussion/guard/brass etc. And they got best guard, and they didnt even make finals..

[agentwulf046]

i thought it was a good show,i was osaa when they performed my freshman year, but they got into major trouble with parents that year because of the color guard outfits. the local newschannel broadcasted the story. which i thought was funny.

[UHSPercussion]

My teachers were in this show. We are making are 2008 show right now and its suppose to be one of the best yet.

[duckling97]

Wow... I Watched my Band's Show Before This And... Well this Is Just Completely Awesome!

[fashwang99]

Awesome show.

Our high school is doing Batman this year.

Perfect timing, with The Dark Knight coming out and everything.

[ImBatman66623]

I love this! I wish our marching band would play Batman

[sauske4746]

we get to play and were only middle school but were playing the theme sone you know the one that goes BATMAN dun nun nun nun nun nun BATMAN

[Namari12]

I *want* those *pants* :o~

[habersham]

WOW! The guard did such a good job of taking on the character of CatWoman. GOOD JOB!!! Any have videos from Ponca?

[Xzonin]

interesting theme, not much ingenuity in the actual show, hot color guard outfits, but as an overall show, not that great. Mad props for uniform and theme choice though!

[sagewindmoon]

I was a member of the RR in the early '80s. Does anyone have any older videos? I know they used to exist...

[wilsonkm]

I had never heard of a Batman show....but it's very cool and intelligent for a marching band show.

Job well done.

[musickid89]

good band....HILARIOUS uniforms!! i have never seen anything like that before!

[rachronister]

FYI- these aren't there regular uniforms. they are just for this show.

[quackmofro]

I'm a fan of show-themed uniforms. Despite the fact that it requires a big budget, to me it adds a lot to the theme. Ooltewah's (TN) band does it extensively.

[psychicboy]

Yes I heard a Flexatone

[iamtheblues]

On the unintentional comedy scale, this is around a 9.5.

[iamtheblues]

Also, does anybody (including the original poster) have any other shows from 1994?

[jg90201]

i remember when we competed against them at BOA in Denton. They always dress for the theme of the show.

[vistreXis]

i think it's freaking awesome, great show.

[tulsa05]

this band isnt very good

bad posture

colorguard looks like shitt

drumline suxx

i am in the brass section and the 5th and 6th graders sound better then yall

i am in 10th grade and we sound better

and plus bad tone quality

[bmjdph08]

Just FYI the colorguard won the national title in indy, so i wouldnt say they look like shit. This was one of the best shows ever 13 years ago a lot has changed since then.

[bmjdph08]

still one of my favs and i have seen alot of shows

[Shack736]

This drumline went on to tie for 3rd at the national competition, then the next year won the national percussion ensemble title for the high school level at the Percussive Arts Society International Convention, or PASIC. If you've heard of that...

[bmjdph08]

FYI the guard won their caption at grand nationals beating over 200 other guards all over the nation including centergrove, nrothmont, and centerville

[heart1612]

Their drumline was fine and the brass did not overplay people, they sounded just fine, they are only in highschool, so this is really good and awesome, I liked it

[idontcarewatuthink]

awesome show.

[hurricanrana22]

its awesome! except for the brass..

(go woodwinds!)

[Chel093086]

bad posture

[TwentyCarlo]

Wow, thanks for the memories... I was in Band in Owasso (class of '95), I remember seeing this show -- those CatWoman costumes were the talk of the town!!

[godfatherpartblue]

Weren't there only 10 bands that made finals at BOA Nationals back then?

[darientaylor]

no 14.

[haddy91]

The brass overplayed, so it sounded like an MIDI. Nice work on costumes, though.

[JessOnTheRun]

man, this was a finals performance? brass overplays, none of the attacks are together, the drill is as basic as it can be and the drumline is horrible.

[monkeyyx3]

AMAZING!!!

i'm in love.  <3

haha.

[byte19]

being a member of Simeon Vocational H.S.'s Marching Band Class of '88, and a monster Bat-fan, you made this old guy very, very happy!

[executiveagent]

hmm.. all the songs besides the first are from th burton movies, I wonder why did they also include the DCAU batman theme? (no complaints, I love it just as well as the rest)

[Bischbone]

very nice

i appreciate this both as a huge fan of marching music and Batman.

[jenkinsdrumline]

percussion sounds good....don't listen to crap-tard up there

[JessOnTheRun]

you are an idiot, what the hell do you think you know about quality of sound in the marching percussion idiom?

[jenkinsdrumline]

maybe because I march in college and almost have my degree??? Not an expert, but I know my way around a drum.

[jenkinsdrumline]

and, just so you know, none of that really matters because you don't have to be musically educated to see that this video is old and used to be on a VHS....ergo the sound quality is not the greatest. People don't put their videos on YouTube for your criticism just because there happens an area for you to leave comments.

[oucutiern]

this was the first RR show I remember seeing when I was in sixth grade...one of the best!

[PhantomPhish]

colorguard is great in this show

[CelesMaria]

hahaha, uniforms....im soooo jealous!

[bubbajames2008]

their percussion section sounds really bad. but the show is good overall

[bnightwing]

NOT FAIR DRUM MAJOR

[monkeyyx3]

this is amazing
