The band is good the sheilds nees some work like that E off step other than that GO RHS lol

[Music213]

They were good, and entertained the crowd:) They actually ranked 24th overall out of 55 bands. The 5th place was out of 9 bands in their class A division only. There were a total of 7 divisions....55 bands total.

[monacheband4life]

that's good!!!!! i kinda wish our band was as big as RHS but it's all good....we're small but still good!!!! i like there sound....it's jazzy!!!!!! I can't wait till selma!!!! Most of our freshmen are goin to be all amazed when they see a band ths big!!!! lol

Not bad considering that not playing an approved march from the SCSBOA list results in a full 9.0 penalty. The band was probably also docked additional points for stopping in the street. It's interesting to think that without a deduction of 9 points the band could have had a score of 93.2. I wonder where that would have put them in the overall rankings, then? Anyhow, I doubt winning was their motive, but rather to entertain the crowd with an impressive performance. Great job Reedley High!!

[Music213]

Yeah I agree. If they had used an actual parade block of say 9 across 10 to 12 rows back and an approved march, they would have done some real damage and scored in the 90s, easily:) BUT they were by far the best entertaining band and the crowd really did enjoy it. A score of 93.2 would have put them right between Golden Valley (class A-95.25) and Armijo(class AA-92.55).

[monacheband4life]

we do rows of 7 ppl so man if they did that it would be long!!! yea reedley is entertaining cuz they dance and they play cool jazz songs for marches haha i like the dancing part alot

[Music213]

Also, for the Band Review Reedley attended, it's an NCBA event, not SCSBOA and NCBA does not have an approved list of marches so bands are free to play/perform whatever they choose.

[JDEPCOR]

There is no approved list of marches for NCBA judged events. You can play any march. "Georgia on my mind" does not constitute a march. According to the recaps they were only penalized 1 point. They were entertaining though.

[LauraMichelleMiller]

We Have 350 people in our band! Go Reedley PIrates! I Love Our Band! Freshmen speaking lol

[RjaydaJ]

DATS BOMB

[maydevilcry345]

Do they have more people than Arcadia?

[acer1346]

Arcadia has about 385 put together , but I'm not sure how many people they put in their parades. Reedley probably put their whole band in their parade.....

[4JcTM]

we hav 350 but last yr we had 400

[MrChompay]

For moving and all that. they were still very awesome.

[misterKC1998]

I think they're pretty close in size. Reedley and Arcadia are the two largest high school marching bands in California.
