Southview High School Marching Tigers - The Godfather

[metaXzero]

Seriously, did no one upload Southview's 2006-2007 show? That was my favorite one.

[javafreak257]

my dad went here in the seventies. he was one of their best trumpet players in that time period

[MrGroove09]

Boy oh boy!! Quints are nice!!!!!

[aphia94]

[schs1977]

This band is very good. HS bands have changed since I was in school. Our high school had about 1400 students with about 175 in band. We have majorettes and flag corp. Yes, majorettes and flag corp had to try out. Some made it and some did not. Again, this is a very good band and they should be proud.

Oh, I forgot to say. This can not be bought from the corps. The band director and band itself is in violation of copyright law from Nina Rota, the composer and estate by which the Blue Devils had to engage in a very hefty financial contract with, Paramount Pictures, which owns the images which are presented visually, the name, and the text used on all props, and the Blue Devils organization, whose artistic images, musical arrangements, etc. have been stolen from.

[calandrariley]

galenct: No, they are not in copyright violation. Here's your lesson:

A composer know longer has ownership over their music once it is published. The publisher does.

Whomever the publisher grants permission to buy the music they own is their choice.

Anyone can ARRANGE a piece of music they buy for themselves, and sell that ARRANGEMENT.

The SV band director buys the DCI ARRANGEMENT and REARRANGES that music for the SV band personally.

So, no one is in copyright violation.

[galenct]

@calandrariley and, the images and use of text of the Godfather movie?

[calandrariley]

There's a thing called Fair Use for Education as well that keeps SV from being in violation. They did not use anything for profit, or allow anyone else to use the music/images. SV did not try to take credit for creating 'The GodFather'.

I don't claim to know everything on copyright, so fault me if I'm wrong, but please refrain from accuses SV on copyright infringement before doing more research.

[DocHellfish]

South View's best show was 2000-2001 Carpe Noctern (Jesus Christ Superstar) I think that was their best year too.

[calandrariley]

It was one of my favorites too, but Primal Rhythms (2001-2002) was probably the most successful because it won 2nd Place at Chapel Hill.

[svsweetie1109]

those 2 below here are supposed to be replies but whatever! lol!!!

this show was okay...better than my senior year which was Carmen. I hated that show lol!! My fave will always be Blues Train!!! That show rocked and we did soooo freakin good at contests with it!!!! I wish someone had a video of that year on here...i think it was 2005-2006. Yeah it was cause 2006-2007 was Carmen...yuk!! lol!!! I miss this band!!!

SVHS Marching Tiger (Flute) 03-07!!

[lancer011]

You may not like that SV buys shows from DCI bands but you have to admit that they tend to turn out better than shows written for/by a high school. I have seen some decent 'custom' shows (most of which were based off of classical music anyways) but for the most part focusing on getting the music and steps down are more important than spending time writing music, and if there's already awesome music written each year by professionals, why not use it?

[galenct]

@lancer011

Its corps, not bands. Yeesh.

I'd tell you the difference, if I knew it would make any.

[31solid88]

@lancer011

theyre not dci bands, theyre corps

[ColorGVixn]

I miss colorguard sooo much =P

I dont enjoy staring at the Drum major .....

[wazp4]

roy, ur right about the band, it sucked but ur wrong about everything else.

My high school band DPHS, played their version of the planets show the Cavaliers did, we were awsome

[ihatecary]

how can you mention the "greatest NC bands and Drumlines" and not mention South Granville from like 80-05? Come on now, but I actually taught this drumline a lil while during this season and they all were great kids and players!

SGHG

C/O 06

[amoney1226]

This is my fav. show Southview has ever done. I remember seeing this show my sophomore year. I'm bout 2 b a sr. now:)

[roylikeswaffles]

Btw I'm not bashing on the band, just the director for deliberately copying the show (assuming he didn't get consent, if he did that's a different story but he should have tried to be more original with the show anyways).

[amoney1226]

well...

i know the DM who goes 2 Southview personally.

and he said that even though they may buy the shows from Wayne Downey or whoever, they take it and re-write EVERYTHING.

pretty much, its like they "dumb-it down" for their level. not bashing their band, cuz i LOVE SV. We go 2 their Band Day every year.

[roylikeswaffles]

Way to be original...there's a difference between doing a Godfather show and doing a crappy copy of the Blue Devil's show. I'm going to be honest and say this show sucks. The playing hurts my ears. I'll give credit to the members for trying though. You can't take a drum corps presentation and give it to a marching band and expect them to play it even a tenth as good, especially one from BD. The show is way too complex and demanding for a high school...that's why its designed for drum corps.

[macst19]

First off, the music is bought directly from Wayne Downey, if you don't know who that is, look it up.

Secondly, the drill is custom written, and the music is arranged by the director.

Thirdly, this band wins alot in the state of NC. This was a performance early in the season.

Of course no hs band will play a DCI show how it should, but the credit is due for the hardwork and effort thats put in. This isnt a wimpy show like most other bands do, the music is hard and the drill is even harder.

[roylikeswaffles]

Ok then since the music is legally bought, forget half of what I said, but I did give the band credit for trying the show. I guess I was sorta harsh when I said the show sucks, and I apologize, but my main point is that if the band is going to play a Godfather show similar to the BD version, the director should at least try to rearrange the music more originally. Maybe it was early in the season but I'm not gonna lie and say that the high notes were awesome...

[SVHSBaritone]

Btw Roy, last year(2008-2009), we bought Criminal from the Bluecoats. We got Grand Champion atleast 13 out of 15 contests. The music might be similar but the drill is definately not the same.

[svsweetie1109]

just a question? did Bolder bump up the number of contests after 2007 cause when i went there we only did 6 contests a year. one on the last sat of sept. every sat in oct. and the first sat in nov. So if not then what else did yall do to go to 15 contests?

[calandrariley]

SVHSBaritone is exaggerating a little bit. Mr. Bolder did bump up the number of competitions by one, but they still only go to 7 (8 if you include SV Band day). So, they probably won 5 out 8 or something.

[crypticroom13]

its nc

[iplayguitar117]

feeble attempt at the drum break.

[iplayguitar117]

way to use a Blue Devils show.....

[SVkrunkness09]

Way to be a fucking deuce. Two thumbs, we didn't even know it was a blue devils show. Thanks for clearing that up for us. You are so awesome.

[iplayguitar117]

im just saying. i've seen a bunch of attempts at this show this one is actually decent.

[funkysnareguy04]

wow not ina mean way, but the snare drums sounded like shit on the opening snare lick.... ouch.

[aznick114]

i totally agree.

[lancer011]

Nice choice of instrument.

[Tbear113093]

Thanks. Did you use to play at Southview?

[lancer011]

Yes, I did. That's me at 5:45.

[macst19]

Lancer is probably the best flute player to come through SV according to Mr. Bolder

[xIv3n0mIx]

Actually, now it's a show from 2 years ago. We already did Criminal. Now we're working on Knockout. And if you're wondering on who this is, the name's Kyle. French Horn 2 in the Wind Ensemble. And Horn 5 in Marching Band. (The number is the number on the case and the position for the coordinate sheets.)

[brawnyjk]

So sorry to hear that. My band director retired my sophomore year, but returned my senior year. Maybe yours will do the same. I love to see your band perform. Awesome! This has to be one of your best shows yet!

[lolz989]

ive had a new band director every year of high school 3 band teachers so far lol

[brawnyjk]

Was it a high school n nc?

[lolz989]

nope flordia

[SVkrunkness09]

Definitely from NC

[AlterEgoFan]

cuz it would have definitely been Seventy First

[SVkrunkness09]

Yes

[weirdwarner]

man this is like a played out version of the bd 06 show

[altosaxmachine]

this is good ... but wtf is going on wit NC bands.?? I mean Southivew and Douglas Byrd was the 2 dominant core style bands back in 1999-2005 . E.E. Smith and Dudley High was the baddest show style bands. and southeast Raleigh was in the mix wit Byrd. But it seems that the kids now a days dont care no more.. I understand Byrd lost its director but still. these 5 bands werent no joke. there are other good bands in NC but these 5 would take superiors and grand champs all year long every year.

[macst19]

the programs starting in the middle schools are deteriorating. teachers are losing the magic they used to have. mr bolder isnt the same he was 4yrs ago when i was a freshman. times change.

[brawnyjk]

The same with my band director...

[brawnyjk]

I beg to differ. Have you listened to Cape Fear, Clayton, and Smithfield-Selma?

[altosaxmachine]

Do you honestly thing that Cape Fear , Clayton and SMithfield can compare to the likes of SOuthview & Douglas Byrd ?? MAybe now cause neither program is the same. Byrds director is gone. ANd SV director just acting to nice. But lets be real they wouldnt stand a chance pre 2006. Im not saying those prorgrams arent good. They just arent good enuff.

[brawnyjk]

I understand where you are coming from....By the way, I forgot to mention one other superior band....Cary High School...Not really sure how they are now, but they too used to be top of the line...

[macst19]

I think Altosaxmachine needs to take trips outside of Cumberland County more often. Cape Fear under Mr. Williams has grown amazing. Clayton and SSS good programs too. And Cary still is top of the line along with Green Hope, West Johnston, Croatan, West Carteret. South View was never the best band in the state by far. It was a good band. And Scotland during James Cook was a great band. Byrd under Dumas wasn't much.

[brawnyjk]

Thank you....someone who really understands....I agree 100%!!!

[acemasterke]

thank you, you are one of the only smart people to tell the truth

[svsweetie1109]

And you do know that James Cook was taught by Jay Bolder who is the band director for South View.

[DocHellfish]

I heard James Cook is an insurance salesmen now.

[JesseArroyoZ]

Is the best band in Lorain Ohio

[lancer011]

We're actually from Hope Mills, North Carolina. Thanks for the compliment though ;-)

[ZacTheTuba]

best high school marching band I've saw in awhile...amazing...if you can play blue devils stuff...your good

[altosaxmachine]

thats true. But if you know NC bands then you would know Douglas Byrd (southview biggest rivals) Has been playing the exact Blue Devils shows for years. A instructor from the The blue devils actually sends them the music. But that was during the 2000-2005 seasons. to be honest BOTH Southview and Douglas Byrd was the two best core style bands in NC but they both have went downhill especially byrd since Mr dumas left. This is not the Southview i remember, not bad but its not the old southview

[cpringleswifey2008]

my brother was in this band

[mezmericfreak]

thats cool.

[coolman4393]

our band has trouble hitting that cross, damn tenor saxes wont guide

[macst19]

our music was bought from Wayne Downey, the blue devils arranger, so expect alot of the stuff to be similar if not exactly the same.

[tylershibata1]

Nice strong brass. In the beginning I was like...I can't hear them!! but then when you made the marionette I was like WOAHHHH

[calypsogroove2004]

I marched for this drumline 3 years... 99', 00', and 01. The best drumlines to EVER come through here. You guys gotta keep the tradition of WINNING and PERFECTION. We hated being dirty, and we hated to lose.

Class of '02

SVDL

[DocHellfish]

I wish someone would post a vid of the let's grove cadence on here. I bet they don't even play it anymore. I havn't been to a game since I joined the army 5 years ago.

[calandrariley]

DocHellfish: Yes, they do still play it. I was on the drumline from 2000-2003 and we played it every single game.

I'm now back as a drum tech and it's still being played. I'll do my best to get you a video of how it sounds now, but it's somewhat morphed over the years.

[BGoodJohnny42]

check the video response

[DocHellfish]

Awesome.. I've always loved SVDL for that cadence. Its a damned tradition and I'm glad they havn't abandoned it.

[21brandon]

LOL! Listen to miguell at 1:16

[Poopytank]

that drumline sound sick!!!! shout out to the quints! I think its Marcell and Wade on Quints. I heard marcell is a beast though wit dat solo in the second song! Great job Band I'll be watchin yall!! much luv

[M00ki3b]

bj is the the brass that stick out he think he kan cover for the whole wood wind section which clearly he kant kuss it makes us sound bad!!..

[Svhsgirl]

[SVkrunkness09]

BAAAAAAAAAAAAD nite for drumline....but hey we had fun..center snare=me

[SVBandDork927]

I love you guys but that was definitely not the best show...have yal selected the show for next year?

[macst19]

whats wrong with this show?

i mean we only did win 5 grand champions....

[SVBandDork927]

sweety...trumpets mostley...yal need to find replacements for steven and tyrone bad...I can't remember the exact second in the show and if I had the time I'd go through it again but there is a brass player that sticks out and at one pt. someone starts a bit earlier, I don't know if him/her or everyone but him/her but its there....can't wait to see nxt yrs. show, I hope I don't have any engagements during this years rumble in the jungle.

[macst19]

ahaha that was ryan. he came in like two beats early. so you didnt like the trumpets? just about everyone else thought the line this year was a line that was to die for. woodwinds are what REALLY suck.

[SVBandDork927]

lol...I heart woodwinds...lemme guess, your a woodwind....who's this btw?

[macst19]

haha just look at the name it sorta gives it away.

[SVBandDork927]

[macst19]

[SVBandDork927]
