Mason High School Band 2001 - The Music of David Gillingham

[goodnightbeemo]

BOA is Bands Of America, so bands from across the nation are coming and competing, not just from texas and ohio. MHS band is from Ohio and was ranked 14th in the nation last year and we are coming back hungrier than ever. We have a band of 260 and we are competing in the open class (the biggest class) this year.

that's some noobish snare stuff for only 5 snares, but I really like this song. It's difficult to keep it clean with such a huge band, but if you guys check out Mission viejo MB they managed just fine

[SanAndres333]

Holly Crap that bands HUGE!!!!

[Nugent4Heisman]

seriously? this is a small marching band...

[CHEESE8376]

@Nugent4Heisman it looks small but it has gotten a lot bigger over theyears, in this years nationals, they placed 14th in the nation

[Nugent4Heisman]

@CHEESE8376 didn't say man they're small now. they were small in the video. and they still arent big. not that size matters but it was in direct comment to man they are huge. and "14th in the nation" is not accurate. 14th in BOA is. come compete in Texas or Ohio. those bands routinely win national competitions

@Nugent4Heisman says "come compete in Texas or Ohio"

This band is from Ohio

[Nugent4Heisman]

@jasonapawlak OMEA. BOA is not the "ohio" thing. heard mason..not impressed the past 2 years.

[jasonapawlak]

@Nugent4Heisman never said it was an "ohio" thing. everyone is entitled to their opinions.

[Nugent4Heisman]

@jasonapawlak exactly. and my opinion is that they are nowhere relevant in ohio bands.

Dr. Gillingham teaches at CMU, which is right across the street from my school, so this is pretty awesome! We're trying to work on his piece "Providence", it's amazing!

[Cybrokat]

I miss marching band! I was from Reeths-Puffer up in Michigan, and Dr. Gillingham is a prof at CMU where I went to school. So this vid is awesome ^^

[stfuyouall]

[GSkouf93]

THATS MY SCHOOL

[mazongirl]

[killingnatalie]

The fields on the old BOA videos always looks like a tennis court to me, kinda springy and rubbery.

Great job on the show! I love David R. Gillingham, especially Galactic Empires.

[alildrumhappy]

The field they use for BOA Arlington(regional in texas) is actual rubber.. its like the ooooold kind of turf..

Made your shoes all green

[killingnatalie]

cool!

[cibomatto47]

It wasn't perfect but considering the drill and the music was difficult, you guys did GREAT.

[lovelyquitta16]

i like it!!!! it's real cool. i bet it took a lot of hard work to make that show a success!!!!

[vinchawie]

the first piece is "Concertino for four percussion"

[GeishaKittyKat]

Hahahaha, I totally went to high school here. And I know one of the drum majors! too funny...

[Outlawstar0198]

What was the music that they played? Which David Gillingham pieces

[jasonapawlak]

I'm trying to remember what the pieces were, it was a number of years ago...

The first piece I can not remember a title.

The middle piece was Waking Angels I believe

The last piece was Galactic Empires

Hope that helps!
