[TobiCollab]

[deeenosaur]

I'm from Damonte's band, but I just wanted to say that I loved this show :) You all did so well!

[GCimprezaFTW]

@deeenosaur Hey... thanks! =]

[Wheathans]

@tj5878 elaborate. I'm not going to argue with you, but seriously, what makes McQ spoiled exactly?

[caseysmithhoes]

thank god no one is fighting anymore! that was just really dumb! hahahaha

[haloslayer9019]

@unable1234 we didn't cheer at all? when was this? I was in the band 2006-2008 and we cheered wayy too much each time. so idk what you're talking about.

[garfieldcat809]

Go Galena Wooooo Beat those god damn lancers

[Wheathans]

@garfieldcat809 What?

[rojasdrumline]

Yeh u guys did great. Nice job! I'm a band member from Damonte Ranch. Our band director is Steve SCHIFFERDECKER. He use to be ur guys's band director.

[hannahbear22]

lol look at all you, fighting over youtube, get a freaking life, everyone, and stop fighting, you are not proving anything

by spreading rumors and arguing over which band is better, they are both good bands

[sallyroks]

i like your guys music.... its really catchy. and everyone in our band was trying to play it...it was funny.

and i like the idea of nerf war! lets do it!

[trumpetgirlii]

on behalf of the sshs marching band i challenge the mcqueen band to a nerf war to end this whole silly thing!

idk when and where, message me ideas please.... :)

[unable1234]

flgkasaiusyflzsdapdiouyaodfiug­yaodfiugydfiugd

no! ur dumb!

[trumpetgirlii]

that reminds me... one of your drum majors jumped out from behind a dumpster at unr when you guys were wating for pictures and i hella like juped and screamed. it was halarious. he's cute.

[trumpetgirlii]

the thing is, yeah, we do yell a lot, but we cheer for other bands when they win as well. we also know you guys are much better than, we look up to your band. i kid you not. the clocks are because our show is about the passage of time... idk it seems silly that we can't all get along.. i mean shit, we're all band kids, we all like to make music... as far as calling you unamerican, you have to know that whoever said that wasn't serious. i mean. its a joke.

[unable1234]

omg lol, u nee to know ur facts before u start acting like a total smart ass. this is why a lot of bands dont like McQeen. because we think u guys did a great job, while you taunt, and say others suck. (and meganpuppypie dose not even go to our school.) but its sad when schools cant even talk to each other with getting in each other face's. wtf is wrong with you?i said nothing bad about McQueen but u have to talk about how bad we are, seeing how we got to with in 4 points of you, meh.

[XmusicalXoneX]

ok. so heres the thing. all you mcqueen kids are totally saying that our band is screwed up because this meganpuppypie person said something that she shouldnt have. i do admit that i probably shouldnt have gotten involved but that doesnt mean that you guys have the right to say that our whole band is screwed up because of this one person. Mcqueen did better than us this year, like they always do. that doesnt mean anything but we have to do better next year.

[Wheathans]

I guess this totally goes to show that it only takes one person to help ruin an organizations reputation.

[XmusicalXoneX]

well thanks, we work hard to get to standards. and its what is expected. we dont really have a choice. its the one thing that is ours every year, no matter what. so we cheer.

[XmusicalXoneX]

yeah i know what you mean, it would be nice to hear the awards....

[unable1234]

but other bands love us! i talk to a lot of them all the time. and o to band camp with most of them every year =)

[postalservicing]

McQ got an 83 something at state. Their score was unusually low as well. That's because the judges at state did a fair job of judging this competition like they would a drum corps, or top BOA band.

[deporox]

I love the band i'm in and sshs did tgood this year. But sayin that we PAID someone to let us win is effed up. We barely have any money we fundrase. Even if we wanted to (and we don't) we wpuldnt of been able to pay for that. Thanks and have a great night. :)

[unable1234]

THAT PERSON IS NOT IN OUR BAND! argh. sshs from what i have read has not said anything bad about McQueen. but it seems u guys have lost your pride, i mean iv know people who were in McQueen years ago, and that cant understand y u guys dont cheer AT ALL, and also when ur drum majors flipped others off, i mean come on whats goin on with u guys???

[hannahbear22]

best show ever, just sayin.

[whitejoker12]

this is absolutely rediculous..

[lhart4ever]

Both bands did well and I couldn't be more proud. And just for the record, the McQ drum majors did nothing to insult any other drum majors. That misunderstanding has no bearing on the class of our band. But still, we're doing well and SSHS has come such a long way considering the unfortunate things they've had to deal with regarding staff changes. I'm proud of both bands.

[castedo2010]

If the McQueen marching band was just "good" they wouldn't have gone to the ROSE PARADE, somewhere only COLLEGE bands play at...gee, doesn't that tell you something? You guys are AMAZING, and don't let any SSHS hater kid bring you guys down. By far the best band I have heard play and seen perform! Also amazing visuals! Love you guys!

[ElPonchoNino]

still an amazing double f sharp at 5:25

[ElPonchoNino]

someone should put state on here, please someone put state on here

[vekoma9]

Children Calm down. Nakai it is ok, there is opposition in all things buddy. People are not going to like you because your band did better in something than thiers did. It is alrght. That is life. Just be McQueen and listen to what they say and ignore it if you want, but don't be fighting over youtube. Represent my Alma Mater! Go McQueen you guys are awesome. Do college marching band. It is a unique experience, especialy at BYU Baby!

[sallyroks]

i have to agree....fighting aint gonna do shit.... so just be happy that both bands did well... and you got what you deserved. some sshs horn player totally stepped off at a weird time. and thats one of hte reasons you got not the greatest of scores. mqueen just did better.

we rose our level of expectaion, and they rose theirs.

[Wheathans]

Please stop fighting over youtube....

[GrandeBurritoz]

Sorry I waa just pissed that they said we payed off judges and we don't work

[meganpuppypie]

sure they're good,but apparently... at UNR, they paid off the visual judge so SSHS wouldn't totally kill them.

Seriously, SSHS sounded and looked amazing but only got a score of like 67, while way back when at Nevada day they got 91, completely obvious.

Besides McQueen band kids are the worst sports, and have no spirit. They flip off other drum majors, and they should be docked points for looking un-American.

[Thunderflower367]

how do you know they paid them off?

[XmusicalXoneX]

what the hell are you talking about? you guys do straight lines andeasy moves! i'll give McQ credit for the music cos its good but there is no way you could play that well if you actually did some difficult visuals. and we are a damn proud band. that why we cheer and thats why we suppost EVERY band. incuding yours.

[XmusicalXoneX]

theres no good reason for you to be a jerk and go that far on the defence about your band. if you guys won the right way and were proud of it you shouldnt have to freak out and be a jackass about how well sshs is doing this year.

[XmusicalXoneX]

and for your infornation, the only thing that brought us down at galena and carson was our music score. not the visual. so you better get your facts straight and if you really want to stick up for your band dont be a smart ass about it.

[Wheathans]

Man, stop replying to these people. If they want to believe some rediculous story about McQ paying off judges, then let them. But when you start replying with arrogant remarks and cursing, It makes us all look bad. Just keep your cool.

[XmusicalXoneX]

dont start shit. McQueen is a proud band. just because they dont cheer donesnt mean they are unsportsman like or anything else. scilence is also a sign of respect.

[13kandyman]

the reason sshs scored so much lower than usual is the fact that the judges were the best and pickiest. therefore scoring was lower. mcq got a 91 as compared to the usual 95-98.

the fact is mcq is so technical and so much better than any of the bands around her....there's a reason they play on the national stage i.e. the tournament of roses parade, the fiesta bowl, the inaugural parade...etc.

the only thing un-american about this situation is calling the bands integrity into question

[tenorplaya10]

you guys this guy obviously has had too many bad trips...

im pretty sure we can ignore his ignorant comments

[Bellisma66]

Im so proud of how far this band has come. <3

[deporox]

Wait till you see us on Saturday!! Low bras ftw!

[kylethegr8]

wow i never thought Galenas football field could look so good... haha this show is the tits

[tenorplaya10]

haha i get it! nice moose dishes

[gregtheegg14]

the snare shot at 1:15 is brilliant!

[sfuelling]

I think you refer to a clacking sound at 1:15 - that was someone from the audience, sorry I couldn't edit this out in Adobe Audition.

[tenorplaya10]

@sfuelling nah that was def a snare shot lol jk

[NellyKinavey1]

that f sharp at 5:26-5:30 is hella loud

[gregtheegg14]

yes, our bass 3 could not make it unfortunately.

[joefather]

i met thier drum majors last night at WBA before the awards, they are really nice people, and their band is really good!

kudos to them from tulare western high school mustang band!

[samsantis]

This is the first opportunity I have had to view the show since I wrote it. Not bad. Front to back that day? Also, missing bass #3? I have some comments/suggestions for Rick, Aaron and Arthur. Keep up the good work guys!!

[CHSDrummerBoy]

5A? Holy crap, you and nampa are the biggest bands i've seen this season, and you were way better than us.

I'm just 2A.

[jadeandwhite]

Excellent performance! They deserve the top award. Triple A class.

[CHSDrummerBoy]

I'm pretty sure they are class 4A actually, but they are very good.

[dumbname9]

yep we are 4a on saturday were going up against some 5a classes. Those big bands get good GE scores.
