Stroudsburg Marching Band '09-'10 Navy-Marine Corps. Memorial Stadium

The Stroudsburg High School Marching Band performing their halftime show on November 7, 2009 at their final competition of the year at the USSBA National Championship at Navy-Marine Corps. Memorial Stadium. Our show, entitled 'Parents and Kids' consists of three parts:

Part One:
Carry On Wayward Son &
Point of Know Return {Kansas}
Who Says You Can't Go Home {Bon Jovi}

Part Two:
In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida {Iron Butterfly}
Poker Face {Lady GaGa}
China Grove {The Doobie Brothers}

Part Three:
Renegade {Styx}
Percussion Feature
Viva La Vida {Coldplay}
Finale

Please note that the Stroudsburg High School Marching Band is a NON-COMPETITIVE Band, but we are still a Marching Band that is registered with the USSBA.

I wish I could somehow edit the video to get rid of the long 'march' off of the field, but I can't.
Enjoy the show, anyway:)

I was here and saw you guys at Rutgers Saturday interesting music choice but not marching band music good thing your aren't competitive no offense. I remember us all being lie....omg now there doing poker face? viv la vida? and then you guys did good Saturday but I mean its just not...

@narutojames225 The reason we don't compete is because we want to play tunes that are popular. It's just who we are, and we enjoy it. By the way, what Marching Band are you with?  Lol, I'm curious now.

[narutojames225]

@ThatWickedDrummer Herndon High School. Its nice to see a band that plays tunes people know though so its cool. I bet your high schoolers acctualy pay attention to you though

@narutojames225 I wish I saw you guys perform, but our director didn't give us a chance to watch any of the Bands.

In my opinion, the kids (and adults) here pay attention and react but not as much as when we perform in Annapolis or Rutgers where every single person has to watch, lol. That feeling is a heck of a lot better than performing during football games.

@jpstrumpetplayer95 That's great. I like your band director's philosophy. This is a fun show to listen to and watch and it looks like the kids are having fun and I agree that sometimes utterly serious band competitions are cool too, but in many ways the competing aspect takes some of the fun out of playing and listening.

Horn angles...?

@ThatWickedDrummer Your so right it is

[ThatWickedDrummer]

@jpstrumpetplayer95 I can understand that. We perform in festival class because we don't play the kind of music that the judges are looking to see. By a mistake from the USSBA, we won first place in our group in 2008 when we went to Baltimore:)
