  • LOOK HOW HUGE AND ORGONIZED IT WAS BACK THEN!

  • Omg...I give props to this marching band! I graduated in 2006 and enjoyed every second of marching band!!!

  • they deserved the Sweeptstakes Trophy!  This reminds me of The Azusa High School Marching Band of the 60's. Under Ross Davis we garnered the highest scores in history! See Azusa High Marching Band on youtube, 1964. I was in the drum section.

  • Every time I watch this film it hits me like a wall. I must admit, I didn't know the band program at Irving High was so rockin' during the 60s!! I was in this high school band in the late 70s. It was a very successful program in my day and exciting to be a part of, but I never knew how it was in the decade before me. Now I can see that the roots go further back! As someone else said here, it makes me proud to be part of this school band's heritage.

  • @chase1965 I think there's a lot of that going around, Chase!

  • Well, this gave me chills -- I was there. My brother and I were in the percussion section. I graduated in 1966. I remember every minute of this performance and the years I played in the band. Mr. Jantzen was the director and we had 110 members. We won the UIL Sweepstakes award with this performance.

  • I still get get chills watching these films from the 60's, although this was the contest film the year after I graduated. There is nothing like working up a precision show and blowing everybody also away with the execution and sound. Ralph Wilson, Horn '64.

  • this was totally before Mac was finished i think and this was a great performance!

  • I once designed an entrance like that. It never got performed. To think, I was only about 40 years behind on innovating new moves.  GREAT Video!

  • I hope somebody finds those old reels of marching tape and posts them here so everyone can enjoy them
