This was an amazing band - especially when you consider that this was 1993. Most drum corps drill at the time weren't this complex. They are flying, and those are some difficult forms. This would still be impressive in Grand Nationals today.
Plus the music...I played Symphony in B Flat in concert band years ago. It's hard, and this marching version is remarkably true to the original. And they play it so powerfully and clear, while marching that drill. Amazing.

@Ipwnatbassforaliving Yeah I marched in the show in Grand Nationals this year (or last year since its 2012) and we got 13th place, a point and a half away from finals. But it was still the best feeling ever after marching that show, and knowing that we're 13th in the nation.

@jkmj33 Haha. He's it's not be best. They are really, really good though. They're in my region, so we see them every year. Their football team sucks, but the band is one of the best in the state, if the not the nation.

Fantastic musical performance. Shame about the visual package. Yuck. :) Westfield 1995 kills this in all categories. (No, I'm not from TX.)

Is this considered the best high school show ever or are there others that are also legend?

@TheDrumline09 The director at Spring was on the Cavaliers staff. Call this a test run to see how to write the drill and how to execute it.

they're really good; however, there is no way this is the BEST SHOW ever. Show is about entertainment.

Im in this band right now, we are going back to grand nats this year!
to be honest... I'm worried about SHS not winning this year... the freshman and the pit tech are really what's making me worry... and key players have been lost within the last year. I'm just hoping they make it to finals (I moved so I don't even go to SHS anymore)

@Ipwnatbassforaliving It's no guarantee any band will win Grand Nats. In fact, it's no guarantee any band will win any contest at all. Don't worry so much about winning and just enjoy the music and marching and innovation. The competition is fun but don't get too caught up in it because it kills the fun.
When I marched, my band never made BOA finals. Best we ever did was 14th but it was my favorite show. We were overjoyed when we made it to state. That was the accomplishment.
