1983 All-Western Band Review - Arcadia HS

[Rct3Renaissance]

only 110 winds and percussion marching :P

[SxeAlbert]

Landes must really like this march, he's played this so many times.

[baribigbird06]

@SxeAlbert It would certainly seem like it! This march has been performed once every decade since then, for a total of four times: 1983, 1995, 2003, and 2011.

[theoneandonlyryno]

Cool. Arcadia is playing the same march this year :)

[jackiekatz]

I was the first "A" in Arcadia....1983 was a great year for the band!

I'm down there marching my sophomore year, I had just come from Foothills Junior High School in Arcadia where I was the Drum Major... I remember all these great parades, including taking the sweepstakes trophy at the Long Beach band review, and marching in the Rose Parade...

Cheers...

[chrishydemortgage]

Wow...so great to see this video. I was marching in the band that day!

[f1r3d3mon]

WOW! im from AHS myself rite now and the band and guard from now and then seem different in a way...

[bandfan88]

Why don't bands sound like this anymore? Not to detract from the achievements of today's top players, but they would be pulverized if they competed against their former selves.

[SpikefanTheTerrible]

Wow...very snazzy version of SMttF--lively tempo and dynamics. I'm so used to hearing this march drag along. This is the kind of performance that blows people off the sidewalk. I'd love to see more bands get away from the concert band sound and really let loose on the street.

[slowgold54]

AMEN to that. Let's get the THRILL of marching band back on the street. Save the concert band stuff for the concert halls!

[marchingband01]

@slowgold54 Amen to THAT!

[tackkjr]

ok, was right guide front rank in this year as it was my sr year. don't remember the song but I do remember the 11 across. wish I could find a video of when we played stars and stripes in '81 in long beach

[oaklucas]

You know - there's nothing quite like secondary diagonals. :)

[hgrubbs]

I remember competing against this band on this day and the previous two when I was in the Thousand Oaks Band 81-84. They were a powerhouse back then. Thanks for posting this. It brought back great memories.

[plucknpick]

This is the same commitment to excellence I remember when AHS Marched when I went there!

[thomholio]

insane. just like graphing paper...

[fyrman4]

Damn! That was AWESOME!

[jjofthebay]

One thing I know is that bands DO NOT and CANNOT play this loud anymore. Arcadia's version of any march is different then most schools, the sound is more crisp, with the perfect blend of melody and harmony..not to mention that legendary bass line. GO AHS

[slappy1234567]

Great!

[GoArcadia]

a SOLID solid men!
