This was good, but the vocalist at 3:52 was kinda a diversion. This is supposed to focus on the band. If I were a judge, I would have counted a point or two off for that.

This show is kinda demented. But beautiful in it's sentiment. I love that. They praise God but then hate each other. So deep and just above and beyond what you'd expect from a marching band show. And if you look at the videos from earlier that year of this show. The words were not on the signs. I don't know if that was intentional to avoid complications at school performances or what but I think that this is a beautiful show. I'm still jazzed about the entire thing and I've watched this A LOT.
@laughingstock133 The reason the words were not on the signs in previous shows was the flags weren't made yet. All of the guards flags and the banners were made by the parents throughout the year. There was a lot of sewing that had to be done that year and it was impossible to have them completed for some of the earlier shows.
No, I said "get the pistols". If you look at the girls coming onto the field they have their hands in the shape of a pistol aiming it around. My daughter wanted us to get it on vedio.
that pistol thing that lady says is weird...and at 2:00 the contra that made the great recovery made it and within 4 seconds had to jazz run..thats hardcore
Holy crap @ the contra at 1:52 on the left file in the very back... I'm suprised the dude held his balence.. AND made the spot/recovered. If you pause at the right spot, it really looks like he/she's gonna fall. O_o
I can see why Avon has won Grand Nationals for two years in a row. Superb marching and a very nice sound. Congrats guys on being the 2008 and 2009 Grand National Champions!
Well It's called Mass-IV-e It's about religion sometimes but mainly it's about the massive factor of things people created like Religion and such, the four parts are Divide as such:
Wholly Cow, Seth40411...you are 45???? Really???..I figured you about 14.... You are getting way too much of a kick out of this!!....Really, 45???.....Besides, you sound a little JEALOUS what's up with that?? This show could have been about ANYTHING...and you would have had a nasty comment!..You must have a miserable life, to be so nasty.
Unfortunately? Oh please Avon Is A force unrivaled by any band out there, it may seem like some people get close, like L.D. Bell or Marcus, but in reallity Avon Is on it's own level
Seth if you feel like declaring a high school marching band show unconstitutional, then do it. The Supreme Court will laugh your case out in a heartbeat. But seriously you sound pathetic going around trying to pick on a bunch of high school kids who work there tails off to have fun and compete.
Somebody please show me where in the constitution it says you can't have a marching band program that has a somewhat religious theme to it. Everyone seems to forget we have a freedom of religion not a freedom from religion. Would anybody be having this discussion if this was about witches and demons?
You are correct, Sir or Ma'am. As a music educator, it's important to provide a well-rounded education of both sacred and secular music to students because each is important in educational and historical terms to the growth of any musician. It's like learning about World Religions in Cultures class or History class. It's like learning about sacred art in Art History. you can;t ignore it's importance to the whole of the art. Period!
I guess the founding fathers were wrong or they didn't write enough in plain English....they were able to believe in God and also recognized the need to respect the rights of everyone in a civil society...not just majority rules. Someone alluded to the fact that this school is a Christian school...and if that's the case... that's awesome!...but if not...not so awesome.
Funny that a catholic school that came in 4th had a show about science and its theorys, it really doesnt matter what the shows about. Its like when bands do Jesus Christ Superstar shows. This past year my bands show was about a love triangle and the end of the show the main characters made out on the field and no one got mad about that, infact some people claimed its what pushed our effect up enough for us to win state! (though I disagree) But really its about God, not forcing to believe in him
Your comments are well expressed. The people who believe in separation of church and state will never convince the religious sector of this country that the place for religion is in ones heart not on ones sleeve and in the church NOT in the school (unless it is a religion-affiliated school). IT IS THE LAW OF THE LAND however and a part of our Constitution. Trust me, God is well aware of his omnipotence and really doesn't need small little men to push their personal agendas....God is Great!
This must not be a public school...has anyone in IN heard of the separation of church and state?!....good band but a little churchy....there is a time and place...Belief in God is one thing but I seriously doubt that All of the kids in the band share that sentiment....it defies the odds. And if they don't agree 100% what an unfortunate infringement of their rights.
You obviously have no idea what this piece of music is about. It is all about defying the church. Avon has a great band program. They are my favorite class A band, and yes this is a public school. Keep doing your thing avon.
a band can make a show about whatever they want to. it's their right to. and it's the kid's right to quit the band if they really don't agree with the show. it's not like they're being forced to participate in it.

Noooooo...little girl...that's not how it works...the Constitution decides this for us...you don't even have to struggle your little brain on it! You don't get to decide "your way of the highway" for the rest of us and our children...thank God!...Everyone should be able to participate and it not be some big statement one way or the other...it's just music afterall...It should be about FUN and MUSIC and EXPRESSION...not religion or politics! Did I explain it in simple enough terms for you?!
thank you bent4fam! apparently seth's brain is the one that is too small to understand that no where in the constitution does it say you can't have a marching band show somewhat religiously themed. the constitution is about EVERYONE having the freedom to express themselves. and if it be RELIGIOUSLY, (*gasp* what a TERRIBLE thing) than so be it! now seth, did i explain that in simple enough terms for you?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Maybe when you grow up and mature a little you will be able to have complicated adult conversations. Let's try this again and not confuse issues. It is about a time and a place. I am a Christian and an American. Religion is for private consumption at government sanctioned institutions and for public consumption at houses of worship. This is not a gray area like fanatics want it to be. "government of the people, for the people, by the people..." Thank God the Founding Fathers protected us.
i'm not going to waste people's time that read these comments with the arguments i could pose to you. just keep in mind bent4fam's comment. would you be arguing with me this way if this show was about witchcraft or demons? this country is about having your own opinions, and i guess we each have our seperate views. God bless!
okay im a firm Christian. and you said that you were too. witchcraft is obviously real and im surprised you believe otherwise! and if you dont like avons show then just stop leaving comments on here. I see nothing wrong with our show from that standpoint.
what I am really impressed by is the number of girls in the guard who are so good with the rifles. You often see bands with 12 -16 good rifles, but 40 that's really impressive!
I cant stand that now, in order to win Grand Nationals, you have to have a creepy, weird, dark, scary, eerie, ect. show, instead on just flat out entertaining, like DCI. I know no HS marching band will be nowhere close to good enough to perform the same calibur of shows that Drum Corps do, but they could be of the same type, just not as hard.
oh and not just this show, but LD bells 2007 show too, what was that?! that little girl was so creepy, and the last 3 minutes of the show the band is hiding under marshmellow things. but i really did enjoy bells 2008 show!
I would like to retort....some high school marching bands are good enough to perform at the level of some drum corps. Maybe not the ones that perform in finals, but definitely some. Just because YOUR school may have sucked, it doesnt meant all high schools suck.
I would imagine it was the same way Lawrence Central lost each of their state championships, to Carmel in 2001, and to Avon in 2004, yet kept working and won BOA in each of those years. Examine the history of the activity before asking such questions.
Because every competition is based on the subjectivity of judges? Tell you what, come back and complain again when you have created a machine that will objectively judge every band by musical quality, visual performance, and general effect.
i LOVE the closer, it dear to my heart bc that was Lewis Cass' 2nd movement in 2000 when they did "Barriers", they used it as the violent period of the civil rights movement in tandem with "A Movement for Rosa"
Maybe it's the ivory color of the uniforms, or maybe it's the insane visual and musical perfection, but this band actually reminds me of Star of Indiana circa 1993 (which I still think is the standard modern marching arts are held up to.)
I don't think that will happen. I have noticed that Mr. Video online has been removing uploaded official videos, so I believe you'll actually have to fork out the bucks to get a legal copy, which is the right things to do anyway.
The whole show is actually very religious. The show is titles Massive. The title has the obvious meaning of big, but the word mass is hidden. I'm not completly sure what Mass is, but its something to do with the Catholic church. The first song also ends in a cross formation. The second song is Ave Maria. It is lattin, but in english it means Hail, Mary! Mary is the mother of Jesus. The third song is called God Said. The third song also includes lots of flags with things that "God Said".
As the Puerto Ricans say that QUE BRUTAL MI HERMANO!!! ... (is like a spectacular), jajaja. I congratulate you from Puerto Rico. I love your presentation. They have fans in the island's charm. Towards adelate and much success.
from reading your posts...you are a jerk!....must be nice to be so freakin' smart!...maybe you'll get to taste what it's like someday to not be cut any slack...remember, what goes around comes around...your due a good dose of bad karma.
at boa we went on like 2 bands before them or somthing like that, and when ever we was walking to go sit in the stands we saw them running off the feild and everyone was like WHATS GOING ON! and then it was just appart of there show...and everyone felt dumb
yea i know what you mean my band does a really different style than everyone but i like it gives u individuallity by the way i go to sprayberry and we went to BOA Atlanta this year did an amazing show but just didnt cut it
Until this show, Center Grove's 1999 performance of New Era Dance was my favorite marching performance. All I can say is WOW! Good job Directors, Design Staff, Color Guard Staff, Parents, and ESPECIALLY the STUDENTS! BRAVO!
I think it has to do with God's wrath....? I really don't know, but I'm curious about something here.....is Avon a Christian school? They're show started and ended like our show from last year. I'm in Concordia's band, by the way. Avon started with the Doxology and ended in a cross, like us.
Great job with winning BOA, also. Avon's band is AMAZING!!!! ^^ I LOVE your shows!
Yeah, it is. We're a Christian school, too. We were SO close to making it to Semi-finals at BOA last year.
Remember when they took the top 33? We were 34th. I was especially surprised when Norwell didn't make it through. Their show was really good last year!
Oh yeah, Concordia Lutheran! None of the State videos are on Indiana Marching yet, but yeah i saw your show, the one with the cubes? That pretty cool and unique; I liked it :P
Yeah, I know how you feel, I really wish it lasted a little longer, and no, we didn't do BOA, actually, haven't done BOA in awhile, kinda wish we did though.
*nods* So, you play the sax, eh? I'm a flute player. ^^
I looked at your channel, which is how I knew that. Wanna come to my stream so we can talk about it a little more? The link's on my channel description.
Christian-esque? Meaning because they have a cross it's a Christian show? Well for one Requiem wasn't about Christianity, it was about death. And this year the song called God Said was chosen because it added different flavor to the show with 4 completely different themed songs.
Avon always starts with the Doxology. It's been the hornline's song that they play before every show since the 90's.
Avon also had a cross in their show last lear.
Also, their theme this year was "MassIVe," in which their show was...Massive, and presented masses (hence the implying IV...a church mode), along with massive ideas- like religion, war, and a "mass exodus" at the end.
i remember having an asthma attac when they were playing this in sound chek lol i miss those times <3 love from mexicoo!

actually.... the fourth song was called mass exodus, so the whole band runs off in an exit.
and since our show was somewhat religious, the whole guard ends with their arms out in a cross shape.

The whole show is actually very religious. The show is titles Massive. The title has the obvious meaning of big, but the word mass is hidden. I'm not completly sure what Mass is, but its something to do with the Catholic church. The first song also ends in a cross formation. The second song is Ave Maria. It is lattin, but in english it means Hail, Mary! Mary is the mother of Jesus. The third song is called God Said. The third song also includes lots of flags with things that "God Said".

This is at BOA finals not ISSMA finals.... There is BOA symbols all over the end zones and why would the Colts be in Illinois? Just saying...
CaptainShayla1 2 years ago
This is the state finals. I think I would know. The I in ISSMA can also stand for Indiana. Those aren't BOA symbols. It is NFL and AFC logos.

wait what? the I in ISSMA stands for INDAIAN not for illinois and second avon never went to illinois so im not sure what you're talking about

:\ Way to have good camera skills. When I saw the show, and the first cymbal ran out of the field, I thought "Is he sick?" I was so confused.. Lol.

That's how you end a show, drumline only on the field lol.
Sorry, i've just never seen a show with drumline in the middle by themselves at the end of a show. I thought it was neat.
But overall it was a great performance.
I'd like to see the professional recording of this though.

What did the flags at 7:20 say? Not the OMG flags (which I loved) but the ones that the guard was running with?
I am in love with this show! Haha. How big is Avon? I'm from an eensy weensy 1A 40 member band in California...haha.
I'd love to see an official video too! This video doesn't do it justice in my opinion ;)

what exactly is this show about?
mooseboy94 3 years ago
I think it has to do with God's wrath....? I really don't know, but I'm curious about something here.....is Avon a Christian school? They're show started and ended like our show from last year. I'm in Concordia's band, by the way. Avon started with the Doxology and ended in a cross, like us.
Great job with winning BOA, also. Avon's band is AMAZING!!!! ^^ I LOVE your shows!
wolfenflautist0994 3 years ago
concordia?
is that in Indiana as well?
im down here in texas.
and yeah, i would think that they're a christian school.
as much as I love them, i liked LD Bells show better.
:P
mooseboy94 3 years ago
Yeah, it is. We're a Christian school, too. We were SO close to making it to Semi-finals at BOA last year.
Remember when they took the top 33? We were 34th. I was especially surprised when Norwell didn't make it through. Their show was really good last year!
wolfenflautist0994 3 years ago
thats pretty cool, though, that you guys are that good!
my school just opened in 2006, so were just starting this years show was pretty cool, but next year is gonna be amazing.
were going to state!
mooseboy94 3 years ago
Thanks. ^^
Awesome! Good luck at State! We got 6th at our State competition this year. It's the best Concordia's ever done, too. ^^
Go Cadets!

Wow....Congrats on winning State! It's too bad that we didn't get a chance to see your show this year. I'm sure it's on Indiana Marching, though.
Were you able to see ours? If so, what did you think if it?
wolfenflautist0994 3 years ago
Oh yeah, Concordia Lutheran! None of the State videos are on Indiana Marching yet, but yeah i saw your show, the one with the cubes? That pretty cool and unique; I liked it :P
Thanks for giving us good competition.
NarutoM 3 years ago
Sure thing! ^^ And I'm glad you liked our show!
I just can't believe that the season's over already! It felt too short. Then again, we did BOA last year. Did you do BOA at all?
wolfenflautist0994 3 years ago
Yeah, I know how you feel, I really wish it lasted a little longer, and no, we didn't do BOA, actually, haven't done BOA in awhile, kinda wish we did though.
NarutoM 3 years ago
I wish we did, too. It was neat to see all the bands from the different states.

Hmm.....That's interesting. Two years in a row they had Christian-esque shows.....hmm.....
wolfenflautist0994 3 years ago
Christian-esque? Meaning because they have a cross it's a Christian show? Well for one Requiem wasn't about Christianity, it was about death. And this year the song called God Said was chosen because it added different flavor to the show with 4 completely different themed songs.
myshilohmy 3 years ago
Okay. It was strange how Avon started with the Doxology for on-field warm up and ended their show in a cross last year, just like us!
wolfenflautist0994 3 years ago
Avon always starts with the Doxology. It's been the hornline's song that they play before every show since the 90's.
Avon also had a cross in their show last lear.
Also, their theme this year was "MassIVe," in which their show was...Massive, and presented masses (hence the implying IV...a church mode), along with massive ideas- like religion, war, and a "mass exodus" at the end.
