arcadia high school marching band at mt carmel

[nati552576]

i swear i was with my mouth wide open for their whole show...they are too big, they can't even move that much...thats AWESOME! i love their FLUTE block in the BACK..when do u see flutes in the back! I love their marching band! i will NEVER forget them..

[SpikefanTheTerrible]

This was not Arcadia's A game--something strange was going on that night with phasing, intonation, etc. For a really great (and cleaned up) version of that show, have a look at Arcadia's performance at the SCSBOA championships in 2006.

[shaggyoogle]

Will never forget marching that year.

[ehstrmptplyr350]

just curious how many trumpets?

and how many drum majors?

[mizpineapple]

soooooo much color gaurd

[kninjaproductions]

is it true?

that arcadia band currently has 450 kids on the field?

O=

[rlee2x]

Yep, 450 kids. 1 drum major. >50trumpets

[gchsmbisamazing]

they kinda look like grove city high school in ohio. the uniforms look similar. check out gc :]

[lit0xd0rkst3r]

I love the music for this year. It's so moving and wonderful :) The colorguard is pretty together too. It makes the impacts that much better.

[maktardxboredness]

I LOVED EVERY SECOND!! omg im in the apache band now....such high standards

[shesAKim68]

haha! i wonder how many field judges they'll trample

[fr3akdotcom]

awesome job guys

whoever your band director is diserves a high five.

i could never deal with that many kids.

but he did an awesome job with you guys!

keep it up

[bandfreak10101]

And you think your band is small. We only had oh n/m lol. We had 29 people on instruments. 6 people on percussion. 10 flags and 3 majorettes.

[SynProductions]

i remember my marching band days.. thank you for bringing back great memmories.. those were the best years of my life.

[Mapleholic]

heh

that's sad

or

you're young

[nickmontes09]

Dang you guys sounded Great..

[VanceHu]

[browneyedgirl61193]

omg this band is amazing!

[Musicovenezolano]

que arrecho demasiado bien alguien me puede desir cuantos integrantes tiene esta enorme banda??????????

[DRMSTICKS]

cuatrocientos

[DimSumKrew07]

wow, i marched on this field last summer with pacific crest drum corps :)

[queenemalie]

we competed against this show so i never got to watch it...

so i'm glad its on youtube

[bobthehobo666]

the size of this band is ridiculous lol

how many people are there?

this is 6A right?

[jpanders]

good job guys. having that big of a band on a field is a challenge along with guard. that must be crazy trying to get everybody on the field. this is why i think auditions are a necessity to make a band with this much potential to truly shine. really good job though, guys :)

[jrdraggirls]

I LOVE IT!!! It gave me goosebumps. I had the privledge of marching in the Apachie band from 1983-1987!! GREAT JOB!!! Wednesday nights!!

[crackisforplumbers]

how do you move that big of a band on a football field?

band directors beware.

[Saxdood]

what is the show name

[jetsal]

click on "(more)" in the "About This Video" section...

[Jonmarquez]

man I hate the pit they are way over powering, This band has a good band sound but soloist have hard time with pitch,

[queenemalie]

it's because the pit has mics...

[ReddyFreddy523]

NO, they don't

[narutoanimefan300]

hey I remember from the field show tournament from three weeks ago and you guys kicked our butts by a lot you guys were awesome and deserved to get high scores!

[SirSci]

As a marching band nerd AND a theatre nut, to do this would be my dream!

My band wouldn't be big or good enough to pull it off, as that we're only 74 people.

[browneyedgirl61193]

lol u think ur band is small? my school band only has 48 people!

[hunnybunny23]

our field in glendale hgih is that huge!

=D

&its a brand new field.

i wish we could do this song (:

[anthonylm]

now that is some old school drill!

[bigmikeX09]

holy crap my friend was right, they DO only have room to move in blocks

[thelastiger]

wow O_O that's crazy huge..im surprised you guys have room to move around lol

I'm kinda glad ours isn't that large =P id get all claustrophobic and stuff

but it looks cool =D

[rachelx813]

omg, r u like a 12 A or something? hey take up the whole field. and i thought we were big.

[Krazy4KeithUrban]

My god what calass are you?

[Viv4life]

[22n3nn5jgs]

THEY ARE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BIGGG.

i envy, jeeeze 400 people eh?

[maydevilcry345]

[mctenorline]

[dejeeezylove]

THEY ARE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BIGGG.

i envy, jeeeze 400 people eh?

[mikeiltmarines]

they are TOO big!

[Thepillows93]

meep. you guys are lucky. you have like a full band. My school has like...1/5 of that, or even less including guard and battery btw. xD nice show though guys.

[rollercoaster92]

Man! I miss this show! Go Arcadia! Romeo and Juliet is going to be so awsome!

[b3ll3xmusiqu3]

considering that this performance was near the beginning of our season, i dont think its fair to judge the band based entirely on this one performance. (and the video's audio quality is not exactly the best either)

yes, having a big band has its disadvantages. but if you'd really like to judge our band why not watch the AFOB show first?

[mix2]

Lol thats funny my HS band Of 58 out plays you AND SOUNDS GOOD too

[sirbamalot]

hey hey hey it could be the recording device.... I remember seeing them at their field tourny and they were LOUD! even from in the back of them xD

Too bad Vista doesnt have as many people >.>

[praetorian12x]

Oh my damn how many people are in that band?? MIne was probably 1/3 of the size

[greenpenni]

this show was kinda dissapointing. too many people for that small sound. it did nothing for me. sry :(

[fluteninja113]

it's just the video. they sound sooo much louder in person...

[HazelEyedDollface]

I watched you guys at the WGI competition , great work.

[JaseAA]

large band, but still very high schoolish.... if your marching 400.. not much sound, half of you aren't playing... i've college bands march les miz that is much better with the same size band.... you want to march that big, play that big

[coolair2545]

first of all.. of course it's high schoolish... it IS a high schooL!!! and second of all... ur A COLEGGE!!! duh... grow up and act like a COLLEGIATE... danng...

[rlee2x]

I would like to remind you that this is a high school band. Many of the muscians are 15(9th grade) and 16(10th grade) years old, these are still kids. These people practice for hundreds hours on top of their already tight academic related time schedule. The town of Arcadia Calif has about 50,000 people. AHS has about 3,700 students. We are lucky to get this many good muscians.

[grumpysv]

actually about 4 thousand and thats band 3 we have 2 others hahaha

[stetsonforsure]

so this would be the older kids?? and the two other bands your talking about are the Freshmen and the Pep band? am i correct or no?

[krnboi93]

sry but the japanese bands pwns u D:

[whadanut]

no ones comparing accross the world. why dos it matter to you so much for you to only write this about Arcadia only? jealous? i mean, if you're gonna compare, compare apples to apples. as far as im concerned, arcadia is limited in practice time vs. the japanese. They are as efficient in their time together as is. Do your fair resaearch first.

[keannaa]

yess!!

mt. carmel

we kick butt

[kaloka529]

i relaly think it need more bass sound or less high voice.. just my opinion

[jukeboxgingerkid]

oh my gosh.

that's 10 times the size of our band.

not even kidding.

amazing

[KevLarGu]

40 man band o_O

[krnboi93]

omf sooo good my high skool marching looks like dirt compare to urs D:

[Bobaw00t]

okay also, when I was on my way to the santa anita mall, i saw the colorguard practicing. literally themselves they took up the whole field.

[Bobaw00t]

Don't you guys think 400 is kind of hard to tame. -_- Our high school's band had a maximum of like 200 and we panicked.

[itsxdaxbreakeryo]

i hate you arcadia. haha.

-south pas hs

[fluteninja113]

FOUR HUNDRED!

omg.

[n8dawg17]

I played this freshman year...2004, and your band is twice the size of ours...rofl. Nice drill and performance, but the drumline kinda buzzes in this audio, can't distinguish the sixteenth notes from rolls and things.

[jcluvsme09]

Well that explains it then. California. Haha well WOW is all i can say. WOW!

[jcluvsme09]

And this is a high school????? Where at?

[lookinbarrel]

yes high school..arcadia, california.

[jcluvsme09]

Well i think it is good, despite other peoples comments... But dang you have a HUGE band! How many people?

[lookinbarrel]

400 including colorguard.

[Dwindleman]

our worst performance!

[rjjn]

an unusual number of guard compared to the band. i played some of this music in 2005!  your band is about the same size as ours, but your guard is huge!

[CryxBabyxEmoxKid]

WAy TOO BIG!!!!! no offense but i find it kinda boring. sorry.

[oDRUMCIRCLESo]

how can you guys move?

lol

so many marchers...

[shingoukiex]

gotta miss the old times when Justin Gugajew was here, can't stand the weak trumpet section from 2002 and on...

[Wilburf]

i love THIS GUARD!  WOW!

[kwsbravesboy6]

Can i have a mp3 of this?

[oiden1]

what is the name of the song that is 2nd to last from the end? It is the one where the Trombones/baritones start out with quarter notes?

[lookinbarrel]

attack on rue plummet

[ShellMysters]

I honestly live your band a lot. Just a lot of people. And you did great at our(Mt. Carmel)'s tourney. Good job!

[FatalRhapsody]

NARHARHAR. GO ARCADIA. >:DD

[baribigbird06]

Yay-uh! Go Arcadia!!!

[elephantdog45]
