[roryrazmataz]

It's been two years since I marched this show, and Starnes and Harper have both moved on since then. Trumpets, I miss you guys! -Mallory

[xXxForeverMusicxXx]

[adamstringerbandgeek]

WOW, Im from Pulaski County Kentucky, i march French Horn, and wow you guys are awesome. Great job, 2010 will be a good year for you guys!! EPIC preformance!!!

[scottmkeen]

I have to say, as a follower of this band since the beginning, I've never heard it sound better. I think even if the electronics weren't in the musical equation, these kids would sound fantastic. GREAT JOB! Can't wait to hear what 2010 brings.

@scottmkeen awakening angles

[PapaDharok]

@mcsweenerr Is the show about math figures...? :D haha kidding ... Angels* I'm sure

[sexycool112]

Man y'all r good! I'm pretty sure I didnt see the performance cuz lassiter was behind the bleachers warming up ( or at least the guard was) but either way the guard in the third production was amazing at staying together .

Go lassiter guard 2013!!!

[comomello]

This show is really cool. I really liked the concept also.

[comomello]

Did you guys go to Grand nats? if so how'd you guys place?

[mzdiva2000]

@comomello no they didnt

[ByTheCross7]

@comomello

No, they didnt go this year. They went to Atlanta BOA though and placed second.

[Ilipipuli]

The front ensemble has always been miked to my knowledge. I marched in the band back in the day and we had a sound board to make sure that the levels of the pit sounded good when I was there. I assume they still use a sound board along with their electronics.

Otherwise, I really liked this show. I do wish I could hear more of the band over the electronics. But I am just so impressed with how much better the band has gotten since I graduated.

[PapaDharok]

The reason the Pit was so miked this year was because the theme of the show (musically) was suppose to be Electronic Vs. Acoustic.

[NCISpreppy]

HAHAHA!!! i Hear some "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" in there at 2:36. That made my day

[PapaDharok]

Lmao good ears I've seen this show plenty of times and never noticed.

[MeeluMaru]

Thank you for posting this. Now I know I'm not crazy. :D

[xXxForeverMusicxXx]

ahhh i LOVE kennesaw high school! sometimes I wish I went there instead of allatoona...when I was at the exhibition they blew me away when they came in, i couldn't think straight for a second, it's great!

[cro2013]

I would advise you to watch the Harrison Marching Band.... I have great respect for Kennesaw one of my best freinds goes there and is in the band. Harrison came in 3rd at BOA we also went to New York for the Macy's day parade. If u liked this show youve got to see ours.

[PapaDharok]

When I said in depth i meant the first time the school actually used them as part of the show

[fashnek]

Is the front ensemble amplified via microphone? I request that someone familiar with the band this year let me know.

[Ilipipuli]

What was this show supposed to be about? A friend told me it's supposed to be a nod to the band shows of the past since this is the 10th birthday of KM. I was in the first band that ever was at KM and I have to say it was exciting to see some old drill sets and some old music from my day. I wish I could have seen this live!

[cocobacoco458]

It's supposed to be "going through life" and all the steps of life and finally "unlocking your destiny". something like that.

Starnes said "i don't really know what it's about. When people ask i say 'it's about the kids'" (Which i don't really understand, but, that's Starnes)

[cocobacoco458]

Along with that it does also have some old stuff from other shows in it. And of course the "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" insert

[xXxForeverMusicxXx]

oh my goodness, this video is nothing compared to seeing it live...the sound is so distorted here but live it's just....fantastic!

[MrGreatness15]

threedplayer if u dont like it dont watch it

[MeeluMaru]

Haha, I remember I sprained my ankle during the Atlanta regional but still managed to march this all right... xD

[cocobacoco458]

hey, this is the only year we've used electronics. listen to our other shows if and tell me if you still wanna think that

[Luv2Cruise0010]

Looks like Kennesaw has new uniforms this year. Also like the show.

[PapaDharok]

Sorry to break this to you but this is the first year Kennesaw has actually used in depth electronics. So if you want to compare past Kennesaw shows to McEachern shows have fun.

[fashnek]

How "in-depth" are we talking, here? What is the degree to which electronics are applied to the sound?

[ByTheCross7]

if u listen to their wind symphony, or them in concert ark, they'll still sound AWESOME even tho they dont have electronics with them

[97cavie]

Quit complaining about their electronics...Nobody says Mceachern can't use them. Kennesaw Mountain is just good with or without them...get over it.

[Luv2Cruise0010]

threedplayer, you're comments are rude. I'm sure that your band director would not be happy to read such comments. I think that Kennesaw Mountain's record speaks for itself.

[cocobacoco458]

thanks! and the uniforms are greatttt

[MeeluMaru]

Evidently you haven't seen the past shows, then... Watch those, and then talk. ;)

[xXxForeverMusicxXx]

Hahaha...you're a dumbass that has no idea what your're talking about, let's see...look up evolution and then you can attempt to compare.

[PapaDharok]

You may recognize the 3rd movement. The whole 3rd movement is pretty much the ending section of Santa Clara Vanguard's 2000's show.

[cocobacoco458]

Our show is called "Unlocking Destiny"

I know part 3 was a song called "Stained Glass". The ballad was "Benedictus" and "Movement III: Hope" and I have no idea what the names are for prolouge and part 1

[TakerFan55]

Part 1 is Harmonium by John Adams

[mhsmarchingbari]

holy crap, this is incredible.

what was your show this year?

i recognize some of this music.

[cocobacoco458]

True, but hey, we can beat em this year. In Regionals AND in Nats.

[knight1680]

Yeah, but Tarpen Springs beat us in Atlanta.

[cocobacoco458]

I LOVE this show :)

[way2awesome4u]

That was sooo awesome!! Kennesaw Mountain is one of the best bands around. I always like their shows. Great job soloists!
