2007 JMU Parade of Champions: Science Hill HS: Intellect

[stormredux]

Oh wow I remember that perfomance!! It was so cool!

[tubasaresexy]

YES! i love this show... and the tubas!

[Mortecai12]

BRAAAAAAAAAIIIIIINNNNNNNNN!!!!­!!

[XZWQ9871]

Does anyone have any video footage of the 2008 show? I saw them once last year and once this year at the Tusculum competition and was blown away! I'd love to see the current show on youtube!

[Mortecai12]

I'll try and put it up for you if i ever get my DVD. This year we did a Rhapsody in Blue show, which I feel isn't nearly as good as the Yellow Brick Road show.

[thattrumpetplayer]

It was good, though it could of been better. But we had a good year. =]

Also, THanks =]

[caligirl22306]

are you guys coming back this year?

[thattrumpetplayer]

We went to WCU Tournament of Champions and MTSU Contest of Champions this year.

[av8n4life]

I feel dumb even responding to this but isn't it obvious Lizzardandfish is just trolling? That's such an inane claim...somehow this band was able to fool 30+ of the finest adjudicators, drillwriters, and musicians in all their contests? AND thousands of spectators?! Get real...he's just trying to get under your skin. Don't even give that to him.

[Lizzardandfish]

Finally, a person with common sense. Thank you. I was beginning to give up.

"prerecorded" music??? What kind of a person would believe such a claim? I don't want to offend anyone else so I will keep the answer to myself. But seriously, don't take things so seriously next time. You guys are a great band and should learn to deal with crazy shit such as this.

[pchsalumni]

Anyone with common sense wouldn't have posted such a dumbass comment. So not only do you lack common sense, but you're also a dumbass. PS- I'm not in this band, so I don't have to deal with this "crazy shit." :)

[Lizzardandfish]

Why does this band suck?

Cause they don't know how to play their instruments..

All the sound you hear is prerecorded and played during the show. Thats why my band is so much better.

[nonstopo]

umm dont hate.. that were better than you..

and the music you hear is talent..

unlike your band... your band sounds like crap..

sorry for telling the truth

[nonstopo]

this comment and the one before is for lizzardandfish..

such a loser

[Lizzardandfish]

You don't even know what band I am in.  Also I have proof that the music in this show was prerecorded. We showed it to that band teacher Stites or whatever and that is why he leaving science hill at the end of this year. For cheating during a professional band competition. It is a shame that good music can be polluted by dishonorable men such as himself.

[thattrumpetplayer]

Thats a bunch of Bull, don't hate and what band are you in? -.-

If you think you have proof then your gonna have to show not just tell. -.-!!

[pchsalumni]

Too bad I was right there in front of the band, heard noises from each instrument, and did not see any sound equipment. What I did see was a great performance.

[wilsonkm]

This band?

Prerecorded?

You must not have seen this band live, like I did last year.

This band had some real sound, they even rival our JMU marching band. The scores do not lie.

[Mortecai12]

Thanks for that.

93 FOR THE WIN!

[thattrumpetplayer]

Our show is even better this year! Watch out here we come! :D

[dancrgrl38]

i was in the guard.. this song was my least favorite out of all of the songs cuz I hated having to run around the band from the front and than going straight into flag work. But it still turned out awesome!!

[dhogan47]

i totally was there watching you guys at JMU

[BassTrombone360]

I am VERY pround to be a part of this band!!! Here we come Cali!

[Parrothead147]

You guys were AMAZING that night! I was so proud of you as I was watching in the stands. Then how you guys swept the awards was just icing on the cake. Can't wait to see your show this year! It's awesome you guys are going back this year to the Tournament of Roses Parade! Congrats!

[Parrothead147]

The show really clicked that night. They hit it out of the park that night. I such a proud alumni that night. GO TOPPERS!!!!

[aeiouandytoo]

i wish my high school played with balls like this!

[nonstopo]

be afraid bands of america. Science Hill is coming back with a better show. be very afraid!

(im in this)

[blazerpride09]

did you guys go to boa nationals this past year with this show? how did you do?

i really hope you guys come back to poc again this coming year. I'm in the spotswood band, we're much smaller. but watching you guys was amazing.

[nonstopo]

be afraid SHHS. thet coming back next year with a better show. be very afraid.

(im in this )

[JamesPepper07]

man, my band could be so good, but most of our members arent serious about it. im the clarinet section leader and i make sure my sections in line, but it doesnt help when u have so many members that dont want to be there and dont care. im very impressed with ur desore to march. i wish we could have a desire like yours. its sad sometimes, if you dont want to do it, people just need to go home and stop bringing the rest of us down.

[sk84lyfe90]

yea this is a really good band Elizabethton High School is really good too, i think they won 3rd in the state

[gypsydog2]

and we won first in the state lol not realy but...

[raiderproud4455]

best performance I have ever seen live

[blazerpride09]

this performance gave me cold chills. i am reliving this again. i hope you guys come back next year!

[RedFrogChik]

i was so there! the first song almost made me cry =)

[gypsydog2]

we're awsome

[ohmymariamaria]

this may have been one of our best shows.

[crewandband4life]

you guys were amazing... i go to Great Bridge and when you guys won almost EVERYTHING we were like, who are these people, then we saw your video and we all agreed you guys deserved to win

[orangeraider07]

this and the intro that i posted a couple of days ago are the only two parts that i taped from the show. i also took plenty of pictures from the show, but i had to be fair with taping portions of some of the other groups performing. besides, i was not spending $100 for the entire day, including the MRD performances.

[ZXQ9]

true, but if yall were only beat by one band in an entire season...that's something to be proud of

[Mortecai12]

might you be stellar?

[ZXQ9]

this band simply cannot be touched...they are in a class all their own. another fine performance from one of the best bands I have ever seen. is there any way that the whole show can be posted on youtube? I saw it at a competition in Kingsport and was blown away! Great job!

[Mortecai12]

except for freaking allan c pope and their melody-less, visually-oriented show

[atlamillia44]

I'd be happy to once I receive the DVD from this competition; until then I don't know if anyone has a full video

[kT8285]

hahaah i heard the "jesus"

hahahahaha... o man.

[kT8285]

ya we are pretty cool huh?

we are from johnson city, TN.

we worked really hard on this show.

its like the best one we've had pretty much.

:D

[Mortecai12]

also, at around :55 during the woodwind run, someone in the audience is like "Jesus!"

[wilsonkm]

Their sound as a high school marching band gives me the chills. Even their drill (as well as some other bands I saw)....

Love the show concept, plus that was the cleanest high school drumline I have ever seen live. Holy crap...

[michoezike]

dude wilsonkm please tell me ur kidding me about this being the cleanest high school drumline you've ever heard. im not gonna lie and say that science hills drumline is bad but its not even close to other high school lines... by the way im from DB, but good job winning the drum trophy at our comp you guys deserved it over Pope

[wilsonkm]

I don't kid around....seriously....I may not know much about percussion because I play brass, but at least I know what clean sounds like because I marched Cadets this past season...

And besides, it's one of the cleanest I have seen LIVE, and sure, there are many more great high school drumlines to be seen LIVE.

[Drummin29]

haha, how funny. Don't worry, I'm sure its nothing personal, its just usual DB arrogance.  They can't stand to think they aren't #1

[michoezike]

haha db arrogance lol.we can be arrogant at times but tell Dylan and Taylor that Chukie said sorry i missed yall at last weeks game and that id play with yall ANYTIME :-)

[drummingyoudeaf]

yea i graduated from the sherando band in 07 but seeing science hill made me wanna go to that school....sherando sucked and deserve what they got....which was a participation award

[blazerpride09]

Seeing this band was the highlight of the night...SCHS made everyone else look like little kids...good job!

[chuckythestick]

i freakin hate you guys science hill

where were you last year

Great Bridge easily took first last year

then you guys come from no where this year

where are you guys from by the way

[wilsonkm]

Hey chuckythestick....don't be hating another band just because they got higher scores from the judges...

And you simply can't deny how well this band performed....clean drill, AWESOME sound....I don't know what band you are from (I'm from JMU), but regardless, all the bands I saw on Saturday did a really good job, no lie.

Even Great Bridge....4th place, so what?

[atlamillia44]

maturity at its finest

we are in johnson city, TN.

thanks to everyone else :)

[chuckythestick]

hahaha my bad no offense didn't mean to sounds like a deusche but you came out of nowhere and kicked our asses what did you guys get like a 91? jesus and we've never been at a competition with you guys so it was crazy when you guys nearly sweeped our class your drumline is sick i didnt see you perform but this video even shows it congrats and again my bad didn't mean anything against you guys

[Mortecai12]

yeah, we live pretty much in the middle of nowhere. we are doing the Rose Parade next year (not this upcoming new year).

we got a 91, and our drumline is undefeated.

thanks for the compliments!

[atlantabraves293]

your snares sound like pop corn

[atlamillia44]

woo, I think I see myself in a couple of places!

:D
