092608 Foothill High School Marching Band Halftime

Homecoming Game - Friday, September 26, 2008

Pleasanton, CA's Foothill High School Marching Band performs Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Phield Show during the Homecoming Game Halftime.

Drum Major: Kathleen Hitchens

Soprano Sax Soloist: Michael Czaja

Director: Bob Moorefield

I got a new tripod! Unfortunately, I wasn't very coordinated with it, so the video's a bit jerky; I'm sorry. I got more used to it later on in the night.

During the performance, one of the guys that had been recording the football game was relaxing, but as he walked out, he tapped me on the shoulder, gave me a thumbs up, and mouthed, "Good band." So congratulations, Foothill High School Marching Band.

so does the band actually play for the first like three minutes of the show? or is it a jazz-only gig?

how'd you guys do at your first comp?

The whole band plays. It's just hard to hear because it was halftime and everyone was being rowdy. I have the entire field show up too.

Foothill Marching Band did fairly well at Cupertino Tournament of Bands:

1st place Parade (Class E)

2nd place Field Show (Class I)

3rd place Auxiliary (Class I)

3rd place Percussion (Class I)

3rd place Brass Overall (Class I)

3rd place Woodwinds Overall (Class I)

hehe this looks awesome in high quality. dang, how long does it take you to set up the stage in the middle of the field? thanks for the tripod btw :P makes the viewing quality much better.

hehe the swing flags in the ballad are so pretty. ooh love the wave at 5:46.

OMG you have a car for the stage o_o

I KNOW I'm so glad we have the tripod now. Hopefully I can get it smoother before this Friday. It usually takes just over 2 minutes to set up the stage. The record is about 1:30. Yes, I've timed it. :)

Now all I need is a fisheye lens (+ maybe an HD camera for my birthday from my parents, early of course), and I'm set to rival takeachance2000.

So, a couple months ago, I posted a comment because I was frustrated. It should never have been posted, and I'm ashamed that I behaved that way. I could care less if someone performs a field show I performed in high school, and I shouldn't have overreacted the way I did.

I apologize to anyone who I offended or hurt, and I hope that your band will continue to perform well.

dude i love this show!!!!

especially when my school played it 5 years ago. watson (our director) said you guys didn't have the jazz band and band to play this. he was right. idc about the "stealing" (not stolen), it just sucks. not gonna lie.

[parkourmormon]

[parkourmormon]

I CANT WAIT TO SEE YOU ALL NEXT WEEK AT CHAMPIONSHIPS

[annathebannana22]

ROFL XD (MAJOR DIFFERENCE)

[BigBurritoz]

How many ppl do you have ? like 300

Maybe you can get more sound from such a huge band.

BTW We beat you buy point :p

[tellysworld]

Interesting idea putting the jazz band on the field. I would rather see the guys just coming up front and soloing. You know, like Ol' School drum corps. But that's just me.

I competed against Foothill many years ago (Cupertino HS) and even back then you guys were awesome!
