our brass section blew away otsego every year ive been in this program bc we dont just go out and over blow and the only reason they beat us this year was bc our music and marching judge was portage centrals director and he was just pissed bc we beat them at grandville and im sure uve never been in our band
I was there! I'm a senior in the olivet high school marching band. I play trumpet. that was a great show you guys schooled the shit out of us lol. but we're a class c school and played in class a so we were expecting to lose. great experiance though. love marching at east kentwood
I can see why you would say that,their show was really good, but see its called Marching Band, and they didnt really play any music or march, so thats why they didnt win, sorry.
It is a very entertaining show with amazing percussion - now they just need to work on their brass section (I was in marching band there, and it's never really been strong). I was at the Jenison competition this past weekend - Otsego sounded INCREDIBLE!
I'm from Beavercreek and I've got to say I thought your show Saturday was pretty cool. I didn't really like the amount of dancing you did, but it did have a nice effect. And your drumline is amazing, and I was surprised you only beat us by .1 points in percussion.
someone should post this years show. I'm from montague, and saw them at the kenowa hills show... and they were just amazing, everyone in my school is amazed with petoskey
Our band this year isn't that good but we might improve on somethings so it might be a little better. But last year when we did this performance, it was awsome. Best time of my life. and everyone that wants to join band, do it. it's alot of fun
The drumline is sloppier than I've ever heard it. It helps when your band teacher was also a first-rate percussionist...and simply knew wtf he was doing. Bennett got "emotion" out of the band...here it just sounds like they're just "blowing their horn".
Thenk you Mr. Bennett for giving me 4 of the best musical years of my life.
We had a hell of a band, and an incredible music program until Jeffery Bennett left and they brought in some little closet queen.
EKHS Music Department suffers with his absence. I was fucking proud to be a part of that band during those years - and still am. Those kids today don't have a clue what that was like, nor will they ever, and they don't sound like they have any pride in what they're playing. Such a shame.
hey, i'm at East Kentwood right now, and you need to think about what you're saying here. I haven't seen our band from when Mr. Bennett was around, but you can't just put down your own school like that. Maybe there are some people who aren't hyped about marching, but there are plenty of us out there who are leaving it all on the field every time we play. Oh, and marching band isn't even required any more, so the fact that there's still about 250 of us can say something aobut our dedication.
I had the other Mr. Benett when I was in HS at East Kentwood he left the year I grad. from EK 98'. Anyway loved the show from last year. Keep it up. I just wish EK was as good as you guys but ever since they lost Mr. Benett they suck.
Glad to see I'm not the only one who shakes the camera when video taping :) I'm an Otsego Aunt and have your band up from Jenison. Great Job! Loved the percussion and suicides.
hey im in the East Kentwood Marching Band, and i just wanted to say hell of a job at our show and the Grandville show, it was pretty cool having u guys as guest at our show, ur director is a amazing and your band rocks... congrats at our show and gvilles.. it was amazing having u this year and hope to see u next year.
IM in the Rogers Marching Band, and I have seen this band perform my whole life, and every year its better!, way to go Petoskey, if you ever hear a high pitched sound when you guys always win, its prolly me. =)
ohmygoodness petoskey is phenonemal!! i saw them at jenison and it was the most AMAZING marching show i'd ever seen. i'm in band in a class b school and they just make me want tobe that good.
Petoskey should be so proud...................4th rate schools but a marching band !!!!
So it goes with the menatlity of ignorant northerners .
