at the bridgeport finals a judge took 2 points off of our(danbury) score (there was another judge in her same category) just because she"think that having rap doesn't fit in a marching band show!" fuck her

@mkyb843 yea, the same thing happend for our band. In the heights is a very new style of marching music, and many of the judges prefer a more traditional one.

The guy playing Usnavi needs to breathe and stop being so excited. Other than that it's cool.

[FifaCup06]

@americanidolinsider I respect your opinion, but i think the excitement added to the effect, especially in the finale. :)

@FifaCup06 the finale? what about alabanza!

[FifaCup06]

@quiroz923 i think the singers energy added to the excitment of the finale

Don't know if you know this. Lin-Manuel Miranda favorited this vid. His channel is "Usnavi".

This performance would make Lin Manuel Miranda Proud!

@Coolio256Foolio not in the least bit. This is way better. Plus the CHS version, they changed so much of it (the melody), that it really doesn't sound like ITH anymore.

@kmdurocher i meant like our show was set up better, search for it, but at MPA we got straight superiors

This show is still talked about in a select group of band geeks at my school! We had the band split between a band for the competitions that practiced 9 hours a week, and the band that did the football games that practiced one day a week. the competition band was at that competition, and we came in first for class 1A (we had 27ish people including guard and pit) theres a video on my profile.

[HeroesAreWords]

this is disgusting... the music is chopped up and horribly arranged. the band can't stay in key let alone play the melodies with the appropriate feel and emotion. the vocalists butcher the style. the whole thing took a beautiful musical and reduced it to unbearable garbage.

@TheJuliox21 Thank you!! Someone who understands!

[lilJangle]

the "rapper" really takes away from the band. this is disapointing.
