[elassawipo]

[PiklechickenYT]

Epic double tounging by the trumpets at the end of Castlevania!

[MasterLarper]

those little kids in the background are fucking annoying

[Snotrod191]

Two people wish that their orchesra was this awesome

[IceMaverickCold]

Ahh Trumpets in FF what're you guys doing! Dx they slaughtered the pretty balady part Dx But they made up for it with the awesome battle music

[Frizzyjack]

Pro. They must be video game addicts

[shoopwhoopX]

marching bands ruin most music

[twbgx2]

Unforunately you can only hear brass and percussion at this altitude. Damn you euphonic instruments.

[mamaluigi511]

[suggestions8]

K-state did something interesting?

IMPOSSIBLE

[supermonkey28]

Now, i just need to convine our band director to let us do something like this

[hellohappypirate]

"Super Mario Brothers!"

[supermonkey28]

@hellohappypirate Sorta sounded like a girl didnt it?

[eternitybubbles235]

@hellohappypirate LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

[Sleddog116]

Not the best vantage point, but the show's great. Their arrangement of the Zelda theme is totally epic.

[XxLostSkyChildxX]

K STATE!! WOOOO!!!

FINAL FANTASY RULES!

[drobotnick]

wasn't as good as the California show, but its still very nice.

[TitoBass5]

[cougarsax2005]

[takigan]

Wow....crowd asleep much?

And that Mellophone player needs to be mic'd for a stadium that big.

[cjwatsonator]

That's awesome. Major props for the Final Fantasy drop.

[Lancex9384]

Zelda was sweet

[strider8807]

nice video, but i got a nose bleed just watching it..lol..you can see indiana from there.

[marchingchick08]

I have to agree, this wasn't the best height to watch it from.

Also you can sorta see that the world is round. :P

[dcritchie]

haha your right!

[Jedimasta21]

@marchingchick08 i looked at the curve and almost died laughing.

[Aiyasai]

@marchingchick08 Earth is a pin ball...... O_O

[LordAsiram]

Just the sheer fact that they played Final Fantasy VI music nearly made me cry.

[scottwatt47]

pretty good music, very very good Zelda.

[lxtazl]

+ Nice selection of music.

+ Music was played well.

+ Smooth transitions into other pieces within the same genre/game.

- Visuals did not relate with the music at all.

[Torakoun]

Haha, that's the problem with doing a show with songs so well known. The patterns that you can pull off on a field are amazing, but with songs so well known, you're almost expected to do something that relates to the song, and it just can't be done.... We always aim to make our show visually appealing, and especially so when the music has hit that inevitable "low" point.

[makingheadshotsisfun]

well for our high school show we did was john williams with like superman and indiana jones harry potter ect. and for a visual we did this thing in block formation were we one after another rotated like up and down and left and right in a circle and i must say that the k-state judges loved it and so did the crowd not to mention from the stands it looked amazing when we watched the vid lol it was like only the third time we got it right but i think it had sumthin to do with potter idk

[samrshelley]

@lxtazl How does SMB spelled on the field not relate to Super Mario Brothers?

Anyway, most drill has no relation to the music, it just provides a nice visual stimulus. Watch Spartucus from Phantom Regiment. It has some of the most "relevant" drill to its theme, but even then, about half of the drill has no relation at all, it just looks really awesome.
