This is great! The band sounds straight up really good...intonation, precision, balance, great overall sound. I was in the band from 1998 to 2001, and there was unfortunately little if any emphasis placed on those musical aspects. You can tell by the way the band sounds nowadays compared to this. I also love the flower drill... I wonder if it became impossible as the band became larger.

You will NEVER hear a sound like again from any marching band (This is in the classic key of G) all instruments are now in the key of B :(. It got to hard to make the instruments in the G key unfortunately but this proformance is just a classic :)

Yeah, I was there in 1978. Not in the band, though. I remember all the Sunnyside bars and pinball machines. College Inn, Choosie Mothers, Finnerty's, Redbeard's.

I was in the band in 1978. This is just awesome to watch. It certainly brought back a lot of old and good memories. I loved that old stadium and the tunnel.

and how hard it is to blend sound and project from formations like this. their sound glistens across all sides of the stadium. There's no one best place to view a show like this. It's 360 degrees of sheer power.

It's also important to remember how hard it is to hold drill and music together with no percussion, especially when the winds are facing every different direction. This ain't easy, but they made it look like a breeze. That makes a damn good band.

This is my senior year!! I loved the moving flower drill! Yes, the old stadium was great! I played flute and we sat behind the football team bench...the bleachers were much closer to the field than they are now. (A different experience than the current stadium). The 220 was a sprint that you attempted to keep in step ... and when you ran out of the tunnel...WOW! I wish I could see some film clips of some of our other shows...like "Star Wars" or "Pippin".

I'd love to see those too, but the only stuff I have from before 2001 is already posted

Was this at the old stadium? What game was this for?
I'd go to the ball games just to see the pregame show. Man, when that walking WV marched off the field ... chillbumps, as my kids used to say.
