Mississippi Lions All-State Band / Independence Parade DC

[mudrider4life38]

Watching this makes me tired just remembering the parade... lol.

[canibalgofer]

Sadly though my most vivid memory of that trip was of one of the female directors having no problem with some of the individuals in the band making out, but when my girlfriend and mom who had rode up to DC wanted to give me a hug she grabbed me pulled me away bitched at me then tried to bitch at my mom. Btw whatever your name is lady, if you read this, know that you need to find pants that aren't too tight.

[mstatefan326]

would you happen to know the name of this piece or who it is by

[futurefwyntonmarsal]

It's called Down on the Farm.

It has 'Yall Come', 'Turkey in the Straw', and 'This is Your Land'

:) I'm glad people enjoyed our show.

[mstatefan326]

it was an AMAZING show, i wasn't able to try out this year but i most def am this year.

[futurefwyntonmarsal]

That's great to know! I hope you make it!

Unfortunately, this was my last year so no more Lion's Band participating for me.

But, I'll be damned if I don't follow you guys to camp next year!!

[JarrBay]

Since your a Mississippi State fan, you'd be pleased to know the music was arranged by Dr. Taylor, the associate director of bands at MSU.

He's a great guy.

[mstatefan326]

That's really neat, did not know that, I actually got to meet him over the summer at msu.

[loreeqh45]

You know...the parade wasn't actually that long (in fact our xmas parade is longer) it was just the fact that there was no place to actually stop, rest, and catch our breath. I'm just glad that all I had to do was carry the banner. My heart goes out to all the wind players, color guard, and dancers.

[canibalgofer]

Doing it with those four valve sousaphones wasn't fun, they're heavier than any of us tuba players are used to.

Our christmas parade in vicksburg is down hill and less than half that distance.

[TROY10SACE]

hahahaha. We sounded horribly by the end of the parade. Please watch the practice video for a better show haha.

[canibalgofer]

wow i can't wait to see the other recordings, it was such an experience to be a part of this band. That parade was freaking long though

[brittanyfluteemo]
