BTW-- Rollins, if you're lurking about: I challenge the Stage Band to take on "What Planet is This" or "Tank!" by The Seatbelts (Live). Would have been a breeze with the old crew, show me the new crew.
Those songs can be found here on youtube and will have most of you jonesing for the smell of valve oil.
'86 '87 I marched point. We fielded around 100 those years. Won State both. If you think this is good, take a look back. Judas Priest! Good Grief Charlie Brown! Glad to see some comeback, but if you were in band the years I was, you still have the cringes Riker would put on and you'd know where in this vid that he would have gone wide eyed. Still, noble effort and congrats on the one's. Topaz anyone?
Wow, sorry guys, didn't realize people were still commenting this! Anyway, this was back during fall '06...which wasn't even a state year. We never made it to state while I was there, but we did make area finals every time.
You guys should have Rollis show you videos from the shows from 96 on to 99 and take some of those show and re-do them. You guys would sound great playing Echano
yeah no kidding. I remember Riker showing us stuff from the early 90's those were definitely the glory days of the DC band. You wouldn't happen to be related to Sgt keaton(a.k.a Mary Ellen) now would you?
Rollins and Riker do. I've been trying to get them to make me a copy but they tend to forget things faster these days. I'm trying to see if I can bring the Marine band to DC to put on a show for them but we'll see how that goes. I'll keep trying to get the old Vids from Rollins and Riker. I'll let you know if I succeed.
i have no qualms with Waldo "Rollins" He and Riker were a great duo. those two brought a new meaning to Marching Shows. but I've seen other videos on other sites and Rollins Needs someone to fill in for Riker.. the past two guys you guys had just weren't cutting it. wither Way A big fan of the band. and did you actually make it to state? It's been a while since this band has made it that far
thats real mature of you yahoofreak lol oh well u just make your self look that way so whatever where you from anyways? yeah thats right didn't think so
ha! funny. I don't remember poking fun at anyone. I was seriously asking if they went to state or not. I was curious because Being a former Band member I still have some pride of what we did and of the effort Riker and Rollins put out. But I appreciate the reply. You take care there guy. I'm sorry if my comment about those last two guys offended you. to answer your question We did not, but if you would have seen some of the videos from the previous years you might have learned something.
Wow. the Mustang Band has gotten smaller. flight of the condor a lot slower than I'm used to. New uniforms? Guess it was time for change. Congratulations on making straight 1's. I hope things end up getting better for the band. seems like the music program went downhill since Riker left. but keep doing a good job.
I wish we could march and play this good now

@reivaylor...Betcha if I showed up at a game with my axe, you'd play it. Trumpet solo is mine, though.
The glory days? Try the mid- to late 80s. Best years of the band, those were...
