Diamond Bar High School and El Dorado High School at the 55th Annual Arcadia Festival of Bands.

Basically I just want to see what people think who played the march better, Diamond Bar or El Dorado?

The audio and video do not line up for some reason and its like that on the DVD so I can't really do anything about that.

The visuals and audio aren't perfectly aligned as sound and light travel make some stuff look the fraction of a second off. If you watch other band videos even the full HD 2009 season ones, they all look out of phase until about midway through. Also, youtube unsyncs the videos a tad bit. Anyways, I'd have to agree with everyone else. Diamond Bar does sound more premature, but still sounding good, as El Dorado sounds more professional and trying to perform the march as correct as possible

@gtradn

The DVD is also not synced which is another partial problem. This is also the 2008 season, lol.

haussey said both band were the same and another band that played it this year played it much better then both of the groups

[illBUrFriend]

John or Dr?

[vietchinito]

[illBUrFriend]

Oh, haha, sorry, forget, but you guys played the original, not the Haussey version, lol!

From the video, it seemed that Diamond Bar played much like a high school marching (a good one) and El Dorado sounded almost military. Diamond Bar was truly going for it and at times it seemed almost out of control. Pitch was a big problem and there were overarching tone problems. From the video however, it is obvious just from pure volume that Diamond Bar was trying to make it exciting. ED however played very very clean, without any pitch problems, and sounded fantastic, just a bit boring.

@gtradn Why yes it is, 2009 is even worst, everything is tilted :/

not a very good example set here with this comment-who is using this account to be so egotistical?

[AllenWigo]

i don't know who is using this account-yes i agree.humility is always a nice quality,and braggers are never a good represenation of an event.All these kids work hard at the band events,so big egos have no place here.

seems like YOU need to keep YOUR ego in check.
