Not sure what happened to my other comment. Anywho, the Westfield High School Marching from Houston, TX was the first band to do this show. It was written and composed exclusively for them. They did it a million times better. I had the pleasure of seeing them do it live back in 96' at the UIL Texas State Marching Contest, which they won by the way. The show is here on You Tube. Check it out and you'll see there is no comparison.

I've had an audio recording of that show and always thought it sounded better. Never seen a video before.

when TX Churchill did it it was better

Do you mean Westfield 1996? I've never heard of Churchill performing this music/show but westfield did the music. I've never seen Westfield's show, but their version is definetely played better. I'd like to see/hear a recording of Churchill's show if they did it.

FYI, I was in high school in 2001 and saw Union do this show at Bands of America. Now, 8 years later I still watch this show from time to time on youtube. I did college marching band for 6 years and do ARMY band now, this is still one of my favorite shows of all time, if not THE favorite.

BTW, I'm speaking about Lafayette, Louisiana HS Band

[macwinlin]

Lafayette DID perform some arrangement of a piece in Into the Unknown(Union '01), not Distorted Reality. Mark Higginbotham, composer/arranger, assisted. Watch the videos; they were on Lafayette's web page a while back, not sure if they still are.

Lafayette never preformed this, PLD did in 2002.

Lafayette did preform a very alterd peice of the Union 2000 show though.

Firstly markram96, your comment is subjective. For one band or another to perform it better is complete opinion. Union High School worked with Mark H. exclusively to change parts of the arrangement, to thin it out or beef it up in different places. They did, however, perform a powerful show written with the 96 band in mind. However, it seems that you are doing nothing but cutting down another performance which is just as powerful and placed just as high in their relative state, as well as BOA.
