Final Fantasy VI - Sandra Day O'Connor High School Eagle Pride Marching Band

[brbtacos]

Do you have the sheet music for this?

[BlanFan2O]

I may be an orchestra person but damn do I know when something's good. Maybe it could have been a little tighter rhythm-wise in a couple places but that doesn't quite detract from how it's good overall. Very good.

[KamichamaKiku]

Wow. I wish our marching band would do final fantasy. Amazing.

[topkid1988]

should've played the last parts of Dancing mad D:

other than that, this was pretty good

[anewzero]

Final Fantasy VI's music holds a very special place in my heart and this is a wonderful variation of music that I have always loved. Thank you for sharing this.

[bewbewbew37]

your high school is awesome. i dont think mine would go for something like this or the cowboy bebop one i see in the sidebar :P

[ChrisspacePatti]

Makes me wish I went to this high school. Not like Degrassi or One Tree Hill.

[jakerjak72]

lol "YES" when the color guard made the flag twirl. xD

[dwhite0317]

That one trumpet could pull a clinic by himself... which shows to me that there are probably a bunch of freshman brass players that suck! The middle of the segment was decent and it's clear to me that the ending was cleaned up ALOT (since the brass seemed to sound much better and the flute's trills seemed to be precise). I will not critique the marching since I'm a military marcher and not a corps marcher. All in all, I'd give it a B.

[thrashitupX]

this is unbelievably full of win! You should totally do the boss battle music, i believe its called decisive battle. also Celes' theme is technically called "Aria de Mezzo Carattere".

[BlanFan2O]

@thrashitupX They are two different songs even though they are similar.

[zenfunkus]

They killed with Celes. Great Job!

[StewNWT]

Save Them is such a great choice for a marching band, it has the full symphonic feel to it

[Squee36]

I'm so glad this is a final fantasy VI show, and not VII.

[RDX12606]

It's odd how the people in the audience cheer and stuff. Even if they did Halo music as my school people would've probably just laughed through the whole presentation. Hell, when marching band plays at my school no one really ever pays attention.

[DelliottP]

@RDX12606 I highly doubt that, never underestimate the power of pop culture, videogame music especially. There will ALWAYS be a fan in the audience.

[Strang3rDanger]

This was probably a competition. Halo isnt that great but, people hardly have the attention span to pay attention to good marching bands.

[taylor0367]

@RDX12606 They did Halo 2 also!

[DinoDieo]

Wow, your high school is the best!

[Bolilha]

omg!!! omg!!! I love marching band and final fantasy!!! I WISH WE DID THIS!

[Strang3rDanger]

Awesome. But instead of Unforgiven and Save Them, Metamorphosis and the final part of Dancing Mad would have been cool.

[bttfvgo]

Wow. I loved the performance! I could only wish that years ago when I was in marching band we could have performed songs from Final Fantasy...

[TorchTimeAMVs]

Wow this was amazing! I love it!

[chordstricken]

Of all their performances in the history of the band, this was my absolute favorite.

[phantomDARKNIGHT]

Final Fantasy VI had such an amazing soundtrack. I wish our marching band would do something like this.

[LowCaloriePie]

Listening to Celes brought a tear to my eye. =)

[VirgilMaro]

This is definitely cool.

[PhantomR32]

Surprised they didn't use Decisive Battle as one of the songs

[oosaf]

They probably wanted to but the audience's heads would have exploded from to much awesomeness

[outlawedman]

didn't cienega highschool(my highschool) do a final fantsy show like four years ago.

[haghags]

I want that marching band.

[aloraymundo]

yeahhh the final fantasy mania !!

all the songs from the Final Fantasy SAga are cool

[MPBLLO]

awesome!!! great work :)

[tienyutai]

Hahahaahah, this is awesome!

[pimpracer371]

haha i remember when me and finnerty re wrote the slow song for tuba haha...,...sounds awesome

[matthias66]

I'm lovin' it. I wish MY high school played music from Final Fantasy VI, but I consider it pretty bandass that a high school would play music from my favorite video!

[walk0nwalls]

DOOD I THINK I WAS HERE!

[Kindacute13]

Amazing. I wish I could do something like this. Any Final Fantasy...though Final Fantasy VI is among my favorites. Good job, sounding awesome.

And in Terra, that trumpet solo kicked major butt. I wish I could play trumpet just to play that. XD

[Ulquiorra4th]

the last one is cool!!!!!!!!! they need to do more final fantasy music!!!

[clowsui]

Songs in order? I'm not recognizing the second one

[eagleprideband]

They are:

1. Terra

2. Unforgiven

3. Celes

4. Save Them

[anewzero]

@eagleprideband pretty sure they played "Save Them" before "Celes". I have been listening to this music for decades...of course, I may be wrong...

[DaniRawr34]

oh wow! Final Fantasy too!

I love all the FF music! haha...

[escabasket153]

wow what a great performance. I love FF 6 and you guys did a great job. Nice Drumline too

[iacitylp]

thats awesome...where i coach we are doing ff10-ish this year for our show.

[Smeagol1948]

Hell yeah!!! Freshman year, favoritest show ever!!!

[QiGongWarrior]

agreed.

[takigan]

Good stuff....I always like seeing Final Fantasy music on the field.

Where is this?

[eagleprideband]

Glad you enjoyed it. This was performed at the "Spirit of the Sands" invitational in Palm Springs, CA.

The Band swept captions and was awarded the "Sweepstakes" award, over 14 other competitors.
