CHS Band -- The Horse

[MrDesertGaming]

OMG my band makes it sound good. You know our snare drummer doesn't die at the beginning and we also added an extremely sick quad solo in the middle. Holy shit its great

[ipokesmotalot]

@jerkking10 it sounded like shit back then but now it sounds decent cause most of those seniors played like shit.

[Brold223]

Can't wait to play this at my first game

[TheTbaggett]

lol my middle school just lerned this yesterday and were better lmao!!

[tiger2roy]

1.its too fast 2. you might want to listen to sweeny cuz this is a lil wack

[tiger2roy]

@tiger2roy correction the drums and what the heck do they even say

[ChickengoesBOK]

Just some advice ,alway be arranged by sections Always and and don't ever stop playing in the middle of a song,ever. the Baritone girl @ 1:08 is example ; any person that has ever been in a marching band knows that if your going to do something, do it right .

[runescapewan]

I have one thing to say, Did you ever look up when this video was first posted? i mean our band has gotten a lot better check out some stuff from 09-11 and you'll see a huge difference.

[cptmuffin]

Jeez tempo is way fast.

[djminimoto1]

I enjoyed both of the middle and or high school band versions of this tune.However...To me, the original instrumental (and recently as of a few or several minutes ago discovered vocal version) Rocks! But...sorry if i upset any of you talented young ladies and guys.Keep up the good work!!

[MrJohnritejst]

Look at there Drum Major wounder y they play tht way ur band play the way ur drum major act

[roxas696969]

nice job on the main section when you get the people to turn into one direction to another but dude why a basketball game? football games sound ALOT more better i think i should record our band but hey nice job

[fireyheart]

Gah! What!? Rushing out of a bumhole and volume over quality?

[koehler45]

this looks and sounds like a middle school band

[techtrek2010]

badbadbadbadbad!!!!!!!!!

[mookie1393]

dis sounds grart but my band i zbetter

[DancingSpiderman]

couple'a cute gals sideways tuba-phoney playin chix

[atuck1ngfypo]

also this band is spread too far apart, which makes it sound worse.

[Fuutonquick]

Wtf ? so disorganized?!

[347826able]

i wish my high school band played at basketball games but hey didnt have or show school spirit

[punksuit69]

your trombone chick is hot, but terrible

[vince065us]

Love the brass section,baby!

[hoosiercub]

SLOW IT THE FUCK DOWN.. lol.. this song loses its something when you play it fast..

[emobarbie121]

this needs work ya yall are off we play the horse all the time i wonder if we could perfect it ?????

[stopGOERS]

no offense but your band is wayyyy off. =P

[Honokowaiian]

the actual tempo is supposed to be like 200 bpm or something like that

[AnimeRyanSaxophone]

This is my school's fight song!!! we play it at football games... its ironic because how school's mascot is a colt CRHS gotta love spelling regional in the middle of the song

[atuck1ngfypo]

if your school mascot is the colt...that might be why they chose this song? not ironic. smart thinking.

[mindlemoo]

@atuck1ngfypo It's not the colt, it's the red devils... they do this song because streetsboro is their rivals and streetsboro does an amazing horse. drummer standing on their heads and throwing instruments around. Crestwood will never be as good as us!!

[Boomersgirl13]

At CHS, we like to play our simpler songs FAST. It's kind of hard to get the crowd pumped when you're playing boring old quarter notes and eighth notes slowly...

[DedeCali15]

yall suck!!!!!!!!!

[Chublechub]

why is everybody mixed up????? play in sections!

[dammitjimtk]

holy shit you have a big band

[TheDreadnaughtBand]

they are just spread out

[HnEhonda]

[Sifirela]

lol I remember our band used to play it really fast lol

[HnEhonda]

lol we play it wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy slowerr

[emobarbie121]

[AngelSweetLove]

Hey you guys ... I like and I also like it FAST like that.. I'm sure you have alot of Fun - that's what it's all about!!!

[jakesayzhi2pizza]

*UHHHH!!* out of tune, sry, but u guys need to practice in front of some tuners.

[lifelover1959]

For one what the flying f@#$ is the drum major doing. And why is the band spread out like that. Flutes next to baritones? And it sounds so so bad. It's way too fast.

[Dickfidd]

I have to agree.

[Jerkking10]

this sounds so badddddddddddddddddddddddddddd­dddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd­dddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd­ddddddddddddddddddddddddddd

[yuhatn]

nothing like taking the song and speeding it 2x and sounding like a pile of shit. great job!

[freddypknight]

O.K. The REAL story: Black High School Marching Bands all over the country had been jamming hard, playing the current and hip songs heard on Black radio "by ear" (with no written sheet music) since, at least, the mid 60's. The white schools had intricate marching routines and all their music was store bought sheet music, but not hip and no soul. This was one of the first hip songs to be transcribed to sheet music and mass distributed and ALL the white schools thought they were hip to play this.

[2010PeeJay2010]

but most black band director either write there own stand music or get someone else to do it..not too many by ear

[freddypknight]

You are very correct. I (class of '73) was lead sax player in our predominately black high school marching band. Our band director had her friend transcibe "Check Out Your Mind, " My Cherie Amour" and "Lift Ev'ry Voice" for us. Later I went on to transcribe "Blues & Pants" by James Brown for the whole band. But the saxes, 'bones and trumpets grooved really hard on K-Jee, Cold Sweat, Go-Go Gorilla and nearly ALL of James Browns tunes "by ear" or were taught by one of the section leaders.

[2010PeeJay2010]

Nice history lesson...and you're right because I just remembered that I went to a predominately black high school..and I taught some people songs by ear..we were jamming

[AngelSweetLove]

I'm class of 73 also - that must of been awsomely off the chain mann !!!!!!

[StryperFanInNM]

I always loved playing this song. It was cool.

[dss9111]

High school football in the 1980's wouldn't have been the same without the horse. It was the other schols that played it but it is one of my best memories of those times. Yes, the black schools had the best bands. The music was more exciting for sure and they always had the best entrance.

[freddypknight]

What's up with the thumbs down? Is this not an accurate description of what happened to "The Horse," and the contrasts between black and white high school marching bands in the 60's or the 70's? I politely implore anyone (who knows what they are talking about) to offer a differing opinion. Also, based on the other 'thumbs down' among the comments here, it seems that if a comment is not bright & rosy, it gets a thumbs down.

[mustang20XII]

ever heard of SCORE ORDER???

[DeVoLt13]

look at the SHS Marching Rockets, we are SO MUCH BETTER!!!

[mastersmartjason]

this band suck.. they play too damn fast..

[alexaflood]

I wouldn't say it's the bands fault. They are just following the tempo the drum major gives them, or should be anyways.

[mastersmartjason]

true, you're right

[stevef1007]

OK, don't know how many will remember this, or admit it, but I'll tell you what this song was more than anything else. It was the perfect "strutting entrance" song. What does that mean? Just this. How many guys who played football remember walking into a gym with their crew, all wearing letter jackets, and that song playing? It was impossible not to strut like you were God's gift to women. Sad, but true. Those were the days. Thanks for the reminder.

[Lasersharp24]

Off the chain! Very good! More moving and dancing would have made it more fun and crazy!

[coryrude777]

This is band is no good, i mean our band used to have 350 in band, We only have about 220 now and we still make it sound cleaner and LOUD, when a marching band plays its gotta sound LOUD and PROUD and like your the best band in your state!

[kitty2wt]

oops....WORNG chs! nevermind, sorry!

[kitty2wt]

wow, the band was SO much larger before the era of dubois

this was posted on my birthday!

r u still in the band?

[jeririah]

These kids did an excellant job! This was very entertaining. The song used to be played at football games in the 1960's. I'm glad to see it has not been forgotten. A+A+A+A+A+

[Zerg006]

Oh man this brings back so many memories! I'm a freshman at college, and I was in my high school marching band for 4 years and this was my favorite song that we played!

Our version was slightly different though, and I still remember what we yelled at the big percussion part. At football games, we would yell "Die you gravy sucking pigs! Uh!" during that part and it was so funny!

[Acoolguy96]

Holy crap, i just looked up this song in my pep band flip folder it was written in 1953 -.-'

Also the Drum major/Conductor sucked.

She was kind of waving her arms...

[Pharsphere]

cute asian honey on the sax.

[DRfermasMs]

W A L T O N S bettr no effence imean theres no sucides or any thing in this version you should kinda be in sections dont you think

[Rm1000YrsWide]

This is a great song. It's always been in our folios in my marching band but we've never played it until just now when my band director decided to return it to the playbook so to speak. Cool.

[LestatR13]

We liked to play stuff fast. Higher, Faster, Louder. What else are you going to do with 140 people in high school pep band?

It's not the best performance of it, though. Not tight enough.

[kalana1993]

haha we have 190 and play a lot neater :)

[ponygirl1969]

The director is just slinging her arms around. She needs to get a stand

[LestatR13]

No, she's not. The kids can see her, and really all they need is when her arms go down on the first beat of each measure.

[alliecat73]

yeah... i am in junior high and our band teacher pushes us so im playin that song in 7th grade now... those trumpets must be really good-- cuz its hard... we do play it a little slower though.

[hedgehog4572068]

My high school just recently got the quins, but we never got the music parts for this song for them...

i was wondering if anybody could show me the part for it?

[ycantwebefriends1]

This is a good version, but it's a little fast, i think it sounds better slow, and on ours we just start out with the lowest bass on count four.

im just use to how we play it though.

thanks for posting

[no1piccolo]

it is a tad fast

[MCRlovesU]

I like this but i think my high schools version of this song is better lol

[Camasdrumline]

I heard that snare drummer Alec is really sexy and awesome at drumming.

[hemirango]

wow yall are just scattered anywhere and everywhere....

[colleen3217]

Yeah.. they need a show-t-shirt or something, too.. we have one every year.

[operaman20]

I love this song! My band use to play this all time when I was in high SchooL! Ya'll sound great and most of all are having fun!

[GmKrit]

LOLOLOLOLOL why are all the secions broken up i se a group of tubas in on place and 4 others in differ ones

did u guys just wanna sit where ever because u guys would get a better sound if u had ur secions....not say ur bad but u would be much better if u was in groups

[GmKrit]

and the bari or the tenor is out of tune. make sure it is net time =D

[hellsacomin7]

It because we were at a volleyball game and nobody gives a shit if we sound good or not at those lol. Most of us are just there to keep our grades up. Also it sounds much better in person and even better at the football games when we are all together. I also like how all of the sophomore clarinets are outside smoking cigars instead of playing hahahaha :O GO BAND!

[MichelleeBelly74021]

lol Me and Emily were yelling at each other HAHA nice (front row- Flute and Eupho)

[Hotarushi]

Really bad sound quality Zev.
