I was in Iowa All-State over 25 years ago (band), and it's hard not to get choked up watching this video...every year, the orchestra plays this song with choir, and later the band plays the Wilhousky "Battle Hymn" with the choir. During this number, I remember most of the band was singing the choral parts while waiting in our chairs (the band and orch are seated next to each other on the floor of Hilton Coliseum).

If i remember rightly, we wore our high school choir robes. That's why we're all retardedly different.

Orchestra was all black. i was never in the band.

[MasterCjay]

i was in all 4 years, too.

Although, i loved Carrington. ^_^;

Orchestra guys wear black. Band guys wear their uniforms. Choir guys wear their robes.

[jimmycmartinez]

this totally should be our national anthem.

I loved all-state! I made it for the first time this year, and being a senior it's my last. I was in the band...go tubas!!
