Hey, jbrstni, so was I and you're right, we blasted the stands with our version. I wish some of the video from our time could be posted. I know Hopper and staff took video, it would be cool if it could be posted. I know the technology exists to transfer it. Here's hoping some Hopper-era music video is posted. Loved my time with the band.

Great job my band is playing that this year for our games =D

[jbrsnti]

I thought it was good. I was in the fall of 81 marching leathernecks and we were the first band to play that arrangement. When we turned and blasted the stands, full ensemble, some folks had to be pealed from their seats. Cool to see you still doing it and the crowd digging it.

[Philbatrom]

[MRtatersryummy]

@Philbatrom fucking right it does

[STLawson]

I'm the short trombone player standing in front of the girl in the black and red jacket at the beginning (she's wearing my drum corps jacket). That song is amazing to play every time. The late '90's were especially good years for it too, amazing soloists those years. Oh, and x7turtle7x, the microphone on the camera doesn't do it justice, we always overblow the microphones.

Tone is terrible, but man, I love the effort.

[mattc2011]
