The Low Brass feature still gives me goosebumps :D I play Euphonium (FTW) in my band, But would switch to Contra in a second if we could afford them :) We do have pretty sweet Silver Sousaphones though :)
If you can tell me what its called I will love you long time <3
yeah, they're good... especially for a high school. however, with enough money to hire that kind of staff, it would be hard for a school to NOT be good. Not saying the kids don't deserve what they win at all. I'm just saying it must be nice to go to such a fortunate school. My high school band marched 37 total and the only paid instructor was the band director (singular), with some volunteer help for perc and auxilliaries. And we were STILL kicked butt at competitions.
harrison high school marching band and we made final in 2007 and we havent been back since and we were supposed to go to grand nats this year but since kennesaw mountian is going and the always by half a point like they did last year and the year before that we would rather not take chances
hey friend I'm Frederick I'am from El Salvador!, my band this initiative which is the style Marching band, let me know if you see and what you can give your opinion on this, ithis is not a great band, but as I tell you, the name is Coruña Marching band , is here in you tube, thank you and sorry if I interrupt you, good day
the band is awesome but you can tell the color guard needs help, the first time just watching this and I saw so many rifles fall down, but my props goes to the band
@TheVizard1314 I don't march for Avon but their color guard is usually pretty on point. I'm sure it was just a bad day for them, and the first group of performers that day who played in the morning (avon and my band was in that group) had to play in like 40 degree weather and bad wind, so we were all considerably worse than usual lol.
I'm from the Avno Orchestra, we just started 3 years ago, and we are having our first group of Freshmans going to orchestra at the high school, and we are going to have an Avon Symphony Orchestra.
credit really has to be given to the drum major. That's THE BEST conducting i've seen on a high school level. And being at grand nats finals, I must say that soprano solo DRASTICALLY improved. You guys really have a great staff working for you at that school. Be extremely proud of all that you accomplish, because this is excellence.
Those that follow marching band (especially in Indiana), know that this was one of Avon's roughest runs during the season too. Semi state has been rough on nearly all the bands because the past two years we have had it it has been pretty darn cold and windy. But yes, incredible show! Rightfully deserved to win GN this past year.
I was in marching for 4 years in H.S. (In Connecticut from 02-06). You guys are absolutely phenomenal, and your precussion section is one of the best I have seen. The color guard was great, even when there was a fumble, they pulled it back together quickly which is sometimes really hard to do.
Congratulations on all your success, it is obvious how hard you work!
Last year my band had their visual director.. I miss him lol, he's so good at what he does. So, needless to say, our visuals this year were lacking compared to previous years when we had him ha
What is all the original music called? What symphony? Names of the original songs? This is an amazing performance, but the BOA Grand National Finals performance was OUTSTANDING.
Gahhh Trumpets 1:24 I can do that, but I'm probably the only one at my school. Absolutely fantastic. You guys amaze me every year! What would you say contributes the most to how succesful you have been as a group?
that was really awesome!!! i loved it!Q i ddint kno that marching bands could be so artistist until my friend sent this to me. it seems more like ballets the writing and make and preforming of it all in one! i would mind being in a band like that(to bad i cant play an instrument):( but great job! that was great!:)
this gave me goosebumps just watching it...what id do to be in avons band...i mean my band does secent but avon is freaking beast! i live in PA with all the crap bands i got lucky and im in Kiski Area's band tho
avon marching band is beast! im from pasadena in texas and i love my band but man i would do anything to be in yalls band! and yalls drum major is just awesome! i hope next year is juat as great or even better :)
exactly, my band's pit crew play on 17 year old instruments, our snares are so old that we had to buy two kevlar drum heads for each this yr, the drum wasnt strong enough to hold it in tune. and we are top 8 in the state with about 112 kids, every band makes do with wat they have, and its wat they do when they dont have good equipment is the difference between a good band and a great band.
Mmmm, maybe in parts. listen closely and you'll find intonation issues throughout, but overall I think it's a pretty tight show. In he end, Avon barely won this years BOA competition. Music wise it was very close in the top 3.
I am a L.D. Bell parent who wanted to congratulate Avon. I also wanted to let you know how outstanding your band was at BOA Grand Nationals. It was one of the best shows I've ever seen!
wow, amazing band! im in a band at pasadena texas and we're the best in our area but man yall would kill us if yall performed at our competition, great job and once again amazing band! oh and your drum major is the best!
im in north hardins band. we had a good show this year but i regret not being able to see your show in person. im amazed by what this band has done. congrats avon, you deserve it
Congrats on winning nationals avon you truly are an amazing band. You were my insperation to get better all these years i was in the marching band, and i just want you to know that i really look up to you guys. By the way I'm a senior in the Broken Arrow H.S. marching band and we performed right after you guys in prelims. This makes our third year of getting 6th place at nationals its kinda weird (666) Lol... but anyways congrats again avon you deserved it. ;)
we start our season june 1st. no, we're not auditioned, but we do have alternates due to too many in one section. we had 239 total this year including drumline & guard.
Was there at reginals in Indy for the first time as a parent from another school. I was blown away by your show. I had to check back today to see how you did at Nationals. Not surprised to learn that you won. Congrats on an awesome program!
jw are your color guard ninjas(sweet) saw you guy perform grand national prelims online and was absolutely bowln away you were by far my favorite band there and i thought you had the coolest show(did you know BA had tails?!?!?!?....)anyway great job and best of luck-belleville east band member
Hey WOW!! I'm a saxophone player from Parkway South High School in Missouri and first i would like to thank you for letting us practice on your field and use your great facilities befores we prefomed at the Indy BOA reignals and second of all I and many other members of the Parkway South Spirit of '76 agree that you have an amazing show and sound and are glad you won BOA reignals in Indy. I give the best of luck to this following week and weekend in Finals and hope you win!!!
well... In most spots anyhow. I made that comment during the opener. I'm sure yal have done extensive cleaning and altering since then. The intonation seemed to get little by little worse as it went along. Sounded like it was cold, so that's natural for any band. Playing in the cold sucks. Overall very nice and I wish you the best of luck. :)
Sorry 19japarrish, I accidentally deleted your comment when trying to respond. There are a few new tweaks to the show and a great new ending, put in for the State Finals and the BOA Grand Nationals. Hope you get to see them sometime! ;-)
19japarrish has made a comment on Avon Marching Black and Gold October 24, 2009: Great job guys i cant wait to see you at nationals!..by the way im assuming this is your entire show is it?
I never saw your show, but at warm ups at BoA Regional at Indianapolis, Indiana yesterday, you guys sounded awesome. Never got to see your show, but thanks to Youtube, now I can. Lol. GJ on winning at Indianapolis BoA Regionals, too!
Another amazing show from Avon. State champs last weekend and just won the Indy regional last night. Ready to take on the TX powerhouses and keep the GN title here in Indy. Congrats to everyone involved.
Have enjoyed Avon's performances since 2001 and have watched their amazing rise through the ranks over the years in BOA. I was a BOA competitor and appreciate the effort they put into their shows every year.
i could have the oppertunity to see you guys at Indy, but we don't perform till the afternoon at Indy... and we don;t arrive at Indy till like 11:30ish so yea... by the way im in VJA
Btw, always been a huge LD Bell fan. My junior year one of our directors was dating one of your directors, so all of our stuff(music, drill, etc) was like.. all stuff you guys have done.
I kno, but instead of thinking that we lost, I think that we are the third best band in the state. Out of the whole indiana, i think that its great that we made this far, and we have such a beautiful show. :)
That makes so much so sense that it may just be voted as the best statement in the history of earth...I mean who needs amazing music and marching when you have PROPS! Props ALWAYS means that a show is good. And of course they don't have a willingness to work hard and a love for what they do, I mean that's OBVIOUSLY why their show looks and sounds so AWFUL and why audience has HATES IT...oh wait
Grow up...Everyone works hard on their show, no matter what band they're in
im pretty sure we work hard..... 12 hours or so a week plus a 9 hour or so saturday usually. yep....... but anyway good luck at nationals and hopefully the indiana bands can rock like last year
We work uber hard as well, 21 hour weeks, and rediculously long saturdays. good luck to you too. hope u enjoy the state rings (I kno i would have :( )
Eh, I'd chalk up a lot of the issues in the performance to the elements (except the moving during the hold, oy). Heck, I'm impressed that they all got their shakos on time, seeing as a few of them rolled away in the wind. Plus, the guard work is far into the difficult end of the spectrum, I think drops while in the wind are acceptable.
placings unfortunately cant be posted online. at least not for semistate. next week the state ones can! but it doesnt look like there is going to be any video online of the state performance. =[ ISSMA changed their rules so that you cant record state finals.
Wow... That's really cool! It would be difficult to have a mask and toss a saber... Well I don't know, I play trumpet. Hahaha. I really like your show, though! I can't wait to see you guys live in Inidianapolis!!
The music was obviously cleaned up a lot before BOA Grand National Finals that year.

well... In most spots anyhow. I made that comment during the opener. I'm sure yal have done extensive cleaning and altering since then. The intonation seemed to get little by little worse as it went along. Sounded like it was cold, so that's natural for any band. Playing in the cold sucks. Overall very nice and I wish you the best of luck. :)

Sorry 19japarrish, I accidentally deleted your comment when trying to respond. There are a few new tweaks to the show and a great new ending, put in for the State Finals and the BOA Grand Nationals. Hope you get to see them sometime! ;-)
19japarrish has made a comment on Avon Marching Black and Gold October 24, 2009: Great job guys i cant wait to see you at nationals!..by the way im assuming this is your entire show is it?

I never saw your show, but at warm ups at BoA Regional at Indianapolis, Indiana yesterday, you guys sounded awesome. Never got to see your show, but thanks to Youtube, now I can. Lol. GJ on winning at Indianapolis BoA Regionals, too!

Have enjoyed Avon's performances since 2001 and have watched their amazing rise through the ranks over the years in BOA. I was a BOA competitor and appreciate the effort they put into their shows every year.

I used to be in Mansfield HS's band.
Btw, always been a huge LD Bell fan. My junior year one of our directors was dating one of your directors, so all of our stuff(music, drill, etc) was like.. all stuff you guys have done.
SirLunchbox8907 2 years ago
Oh really? Hahah That's cool. What year was this?

I kno, but instead of thinking that we lost, I think that we are the third best band in the state. Out of the whole indiana, i think that its great that we made this far, and we have such a beautiful show. :)

This comment has received too many negative votes show
you wait and see, but thers a few things that CG has that you dont
1} A giant music box on the sidlines that actually rotates
2} Props. We has em and it makes our show awsome
3} A beautiful story line, that thrills the audiance
4} an absolut love for what we do, and a willingness to work hard to acheve that.
cooljoeness11 2 years ago
That makes so much so sense that it may just be voted as the best statement in the history of earth...I mean who needs amazing music and marching when you have PROPS! Props ALWAYS means that a show is good. And of course they don't have a willingness to work hard and a love for what they do, I mean that's OBVIOUSLY why their show looks and sounds so AWFUL and why audience has HATES IT...oh wait
Grow up...Everyone works hard on their show, no matter what band they're in

Love the use of Barber in this.
SirLunchbox8907 2 years ago
Wait. This is all music from SCV 1999.
SirLunchbox8907 2 years ago
Eh, I'd chalk up a lot of the issues in the performance to the elements (except the moving during the hold, oy). Heck, I'm impressed that they all got their shakos on time, seeing as a few of them rolled away in the wind. Plus, the guard work is far into the difficult end of the spectrum, I think drops while in the wind are acceptable.
And I like the new end of the closer!

placings unfortunately cant be posted online. at least not for semistate. next week the state ones can! but it doesnt look like there is going to be any video online of the state performance. =[ ISSMA changed their rules so that you cant record state finals.
