Arcadia Apache Marching Band @ Arcadia Festival of Bands

[Daddyzgrl1]

and for all the people who don't like this band: i hate you. XD

if you watch this band live, their amazingness will blow your brains out through your eyes.

[Daddyzgrl1]

i can't find anyone off-step. AMAZING JOB ARCADIA!!

[JSB741]

Bigger is not always better. This video is proof.

[ashleelalalauren]

Ugh their guard makes my eyes throooooow up.

[DarthShinobi07]

Holy shiz, this band makes me jizz in my pants!!! now i've got to see 'em live!

[cherry356]

5:15-5:23 was so sick!! we're performing scootin' on hardrock as our opener this year, you guys performed it really well :]]

[lit0xd0rkst3r]

I agree with KandiedRose. I personally attended AFOB that year and trust me, that stadium was booming with sound. They were absolutely incredible. This video is definitely muted.

Remember, watching a video can never compared to watching it live :)

[KandiedRose]

Actually, the sound is muted drastically. You can tell from how soft the announcer is at the beginning that it's not the band's fault, but the camera's. Arcadia plays much, much louder in other videos and live.

[FSUfanOFtheBAND]

One drum major for this big ass band. That's insane lmao.

[retardedwhale]

NO U SUCKS >:0

[wongedc]

Not bad considering the logistics of managing that many members, although I prefer the 2006 Lassiter HS version of Scootin' on Hardrock.

[cj1lorenz]

HOLLY SHIT THATS HUDGE!

[PanicPanicPanic]

D: ARCADIA IS SO BIG...

[erickocd]

i like the marching better than the music

[cowmilknine]

Well, half the school is in the band and they don't even let the freshman march!

[coolair2545]

for field shows, the whole band marches including freshmen! and half the school isn't in the band... not even a third... the school has some 4 thousand students! band is only what... 400?

[Ireallylovemylife]

fuck, theres like 400 people and they sound like a 20 person band... damn... what a dissapointment. anyways good marching and drills though.

[thexthreexretardeers]

it just sounds like that becuase the camera thats recording it is bad. that drum should be a whole heck of a lot louder, trust me ive watched these things on high grade HD cameras and its a lot lounder.

[fluteAHS]

well it kinda was boring ...

but the ending was pretty cool

first time ive seen a band go off the field for charting

best auxilliary year in my opinion

[KdrumHlineS]

i have always wondered why the drum major doesn't field conduct.

[xmtizzle]

because we dont need that. we dont neeeeed more than 1 conductor. our one tall conductor is all arcadia needs

[dsjlj40]

why does your one tall director barely move his hands while conducting?

[Glcsnow]

cuz he's pro

[ReddyFreddy523]

Arcadia doesn't need a conductor at all... they can perform the show with just the percussion as a guide

[Katon]

it's as if watching shoelaces tie themselves

[FleugenFlagen]

as far as I am concerned, the percussion book was for Medea was written in 1993...some of this percussion writting doesn't really fit as well as it could.

[adsman4life]

ehh it was ok.... band size to many nothing very musical just kind of well there i mean u played the music but it just got really boring really fast... but other wise pretty good some mix-match drill but thats because of the size... but other wise good

[FlamingTrebleClef]

i agree full heartedly they are big but the music could be a lot louder for as big as they are in their loud spots but they do a good job in contrast with loud and soft, but I am overall not impressed. They bands in my state play a lot louder than that and most are 60 to 100 players. But overall this band is very good. Good marching and i like the music.

[illBUrFriend]

Hmm, I thought you guys played Chaos, lol

[xkillingbob]

With a band that big.... I was hoping you guys would play music more exciting.

[lordpopocatepetl]

wow, the sound this band creates is amazing!

i wish we had a bad with such a killer brass section. :\ [and woodwind] our percussion section is already that amazing! [haha]

visually, this band did great with the grid drill but seemed to set some of the curves a little lumpy [see start of first song]

[ReddyFreddy523]

Being large does have its drawbacks... as does being small.

[rawrlzdinosaur]

y'all are pretty outstanding

:D

[hornguy04]

looks like more than 350 to me. our marching band's 300 and doesn't look nearly that big!

[crutthorn]

Yeah dark pants and white bucks! Get it!

[1OOYears]

Man, I can't upload this, Its too long... :(

[hollyxberry]

^_^ My school's marching band is playing Scootin' On Hardrock this year but our but we're not /nearly/ that size. xDD We have 80-ish. Hehe, you're awesome. ^^

[arcanaus]

I remember this school! You guys came to my school, Alchesay in Arizona, a while back and asked if it was okay to keep using apache as a mascot (we're a reservation school, white mountain apache). You guys are great! Go apaches!

[Japnoyboi3]

really? that sucks

[Japnoboi]

how come the dvds dun show the bands marching into the fields anymore and do u have DBHS for 2005, if u do can u plz post it......=) PLZ AND THANK YOU SO MUCH.....=)

[awmpty]

hey...well im a sophmore trumpet section leader for the Crescenta Valley Marching Falcons, and i have to say, you guys did better than us this year.

[slowgold54]

CV is Arcadia's rival in sports and everythig else...but not oddly enough, not in band...haha

[Japnoboi]

Wish we would play that song for a marching season ....XD

[Japnoboi]

[krayzietonetuba]

Wonderful tone! Im the tuba section leader at my high school. We're playing this song for festival this year... Keep up the good work....

[Knightmare2k6]

ah... this was my senior year.  go alto saxes!

[nappyharedazn]

No way.... I'm an alto now. Who the hell are you?

[Knightmare2k6]

lol watch your language. if you're freshman, you do not need to know me; if you aren't, i was your section leader last year.

[nappyharedazn]

I are not freshman.

And did you know that Alvin shows up at more Wednesday night rehearsals AFTER he graduated?

[ktshow]

Arcadia, you are so awesome and to have a guard the size of yours is awesome in itsel; but, what is even more awesome is that the work is so CLEAN!!! Oh, I also think your winterguard guard is awesome and that you or Avon will beat James Logan. You are so awesome.
