Ka

[Becadefia]

I'm in the JETBand this year, freshman, marching baritone. Now I'm wondering why our show now can't have as much swag as this.

[ChrisRod123456789]

Oh and also did you guys have the music rearranged

[ChrisRod123456789]

thats vish were playing the same music KA but they have more different parts it weird were only pla Flight, Pursuit, and Battlefeild.

[philip0424]

The songs from Ka in order being played are O Makunde, Storm, Pageant, Love Dance, Battlefield, Pursuit. I really loved this arrangement but you guys didn't play Flight and Shadowplay which are 2 other beautiful songs from KA. I was just in Vegas 3 days ago and went to see the show. KA by Cirque du Soleil is AMAZING. I recommend it to everyone. Check out the show and listen to the soundtrack, both breath taking.

I'm sorry, this is just too cool! I am so glad I got to be a part of this. It's been 3 years and I still think it's awesome! Blows my mind every time.

[12401cjl]

is this a texas band

[RockyakaKiana]

@12401cjl Yes

[ALICIABOZARTH]

Who ever did that drill design is a complete genius!!!! Awesome performance!

[UghIsMyUsername]

This is what our band is performing for marching and I wish we could do like half the stuff you guys did...but our band isn't "disciplined" enough. we just have shitheads who don't do what they're told >.> ugh.

[thecowgoesmoe]

The flute solo..

Is that actually in the music?

I was told I was getting solo, but my band director probably just said that so I wouldn't quit. I was wondering if that was actually in the music. All the recordings, I can't find a solo, except here.

[simzproductionz]

Aww, I heard so much about this show. :) hopefully we can do another one like this in the next four years lol

[rchidol]

YES!!! I JUST BEAT THE GAME SNAKE!!...THAT WAS RANDOM....ANYWAYS..NICE VIDEO

[karategirl212]

[HuizengaAndKrohnBOSS]

What was the music selection for this show? i know its from Ka but what were the songs?

[firedove10]

so the first half of the show is from Ka and the second half is from La Nouba....interesting

[CisforClarinet]

Wow!!! This was amazing! The solos were great and the sound your band has is very good! Great marching too! Everything about this show was just plain awesomeness!!!! XD

My band is doing a Cirque du Soleil show this year...what are the names of these songs??

[begrime0purple]

yup i kno wat u mean for my band at our area competition in 09 we came in 3 or 4 for prelims and at the finals we came in dead last!!!!!!!!!! we were shocked because the second performance felt better than the first one on that day. we did a show called adiemus it was badass very successful show unluckly we didnt make it to state last year :'(

[drm2099]

major props to the music educators who helped make this show possible! Texas bands are the shit! >:)

[ShavosBlackJacket]

Wow, this is exactly why woodwinds should be included in the drum corps. This band even sounds like a corp

[SorugaoBandGeek]

Dude this is so.......damn.

I love all the things you guys do, the way you guys sound.

Your band is just......wow. :D

Seriously man, props to you guys:3

[No2clarinet]

I think this is my school's marching show for next season. Thanks to that "wonderful" (sarcastic) mallet part i'll be stuck on mallets. Sooo....anybody have any good things to say about the mallet part? as in, will i enjoy playing it? =] btw. isn't this song in 4 movements?

[gogetemprince]

my. god. that. was. awesome.

[runninriot84]

crazy drill. nice

[flutechik101]

Jesus move, pinwheels, saprano sax solo, trumpet solo, flute duet, and mr janda = my favorite parts of this!!!!

JET BAND ROX!!

[flutechik101]

i feel so lucky to be in the JET band! reading all of these comments just makes me so happy! i will cherish these memories for the rest of my life!

[cassiesHangout]

very impressive.... years ago, i was in marching band. in more recent years, my daughter was in marching band and then colour guard. on top of that, i live in vegas and have seen the theatrical version of the show live, three times. i gotta say, you guys did a great job!

[Rixhard912]

I was looking up halo on the trombone and I get this..... thanks.....

[bochin09]

i believe that at 4:14 the song is Reve Rouge from Cirque du Soleil's show entitled: La Nouba and not from Ka! BUT! i always say it takes guts to do a Cirque show, and by far you guys did AMAZING!! congratulations and best of luck!!

[lpoe68]

WOW!!! That was very nicely done!! Bravo!!! What year was that show? North Hardin High school from Radcliff KY did a different version of this show this year. Put them 3rd in state with thier performance. You should check it out. I must say, Your color guard is beast and the bands lines and formations are beautiful!!!! Congratulations!!!!

[InsaneMansProduction]

[FeLiX13sLaVe]

[horsclover]

i really miss this show.... yay concert band trombones for starting KA in class on friday! :)

[hillary2691]

oh the memories. i actually teared a little bit b/c this show was so amazing to perform.

[Detlev9109]

Oh my god, I have no idea where J. E. T. high is but this is amazing.

I love it. screw those judges for putting you guys in 7th

[729ashbash]

thank you!! we all thought so too. another parent from a school that went to state told us that we should have made it instead of them.

[stamfordsgio]

@Detlev9109 thats what u say because i didnt watch the 6,5,4,3,2,1 place schools

[xCydezx]

@Detlev9109 Its Taylor High School :D In from seven lakes, WE DID BETTER AT BoA by 1.96 points LOL!!

[amac827]

jet band rocks. i loved KA so much. 09 better be just as good, if not better,

[mitchell5398]

this was a really fun show to do

I LOVE IT!!!

[power9779]

[LimberBear19]

That was a great show... Sounds so different on the field

[DuduDigital3D]

Songlist:

1- O Makunde

2- Storm

3- Pageant (my favorite)

4- R Rouge (isn't from Kà, is from La Nouba)

5- Battlefield

[tsunamipanda05]

It's really good, but the Love Dance wasn't included which is the best song in the entire stage show.

[curlyfries482]

watching this again brings back alot of memories... all i have is respect for that show..it was beyond words how amazing it is

[laurenkay94]

YESSSSS!! :)

[katymillz13]

I was just looking at the videos you posted - you were in the band 5 years? You have videos from 04, 05, 06, 07 and 08?

[NandSigga]

Haha, no, I uploaded the 04 one just cause some friends wanted to see it on youtube. I have been in band for 4.

[HuizengaAndKrohnBOSS]

@NandSigga What was the music selection for this show? i know its from Ka but what were the songs?

[3koiya]

did you guys arrange the music or was it given to you?

[videogamebrvs1]

Really cool and entertaining, but it was lacking the WOW!!!! factor...

[CGBANANAS]

Best show in the world! Ka will live forever

[shutterbugluv]

Wow. The music is awesome and I love the whole show. How do the directors vision what this is going to look like??

I love our band :D

[zaboomafoo357]

it was all possible because of the tubas.

TUBA PRIDE FTW

[lnknwr]

i loved them. i wish i was in their band..

[th3chanm3n]

Loved Marching It...Will Never Forget It

[laurenkay94]

7:10, check out the diagonals.

we worked our ass off over that, so you

better recognize it (:

[SorugaoBandGeek]

@laurenkay94 Amazing jobb!!

[wushubabe]

So awesome, keep up the great work! I love KA music! ^_^

[tubagirl1994]

this was so fun :]

i love the JET band!

[laurenkay94]

8:40, go clarinets&flutes!! :]

[horsclover]

heck yes!

[laurenkay94]

were amazingggg. :]

we were effing robbed!

[Cuero63]

The band was robbed at area. The bands that went on to San Antonio used a lot of props while the actual band stood in place. Whereas JET did the great formations and playing of a university. Many parents from other schools questioned why JET wasn't selected. The kids did an awesome job and are to be congratulated, along with their director, Mr. Janda.

[IncendiaryPistonOil]

sup, i saw you guys in san diego XD

[FeLiX13sLaVe]

Oh hey whats up =)

what band were you in?

[johnmotif28]

That is by far, the most entertaining high school marching show I have EVER Seen! It was great to see something soooo unique and modern not to mention keeping me at the edge of my seat amazing!. The marching is incredible and very entertaining. It is obvious passion was driving this band, my guess its from the directors as well as the band leaders:) Keep up the great work Taylor band and directors. You get straight 1's from me :)

John Rivas, former KISD horn player...

[HtownBigBoi832]

WHOO TAYLOR ROCKS

[ughUSERNAME]

that was awesome! :)
