OMG!!! I loved your show this year! Great job! I'm with Louisville's band and I saw you guys at Amherst and I seriously cried during your show! It's just amazing!

Hey I heard you guys got all 7 superiors!  Wish I was there to see it. I can honestly say I've never heard a high school band play anything more musically challenging than this show.

The bass drum solo at 8:14 drives me insane every time I hear it. Movement 3 in general is incredible.

Even though I couldn't be in marcjing band in 2009, I wish I was. The music is so beautiful and it's nice to know that Lakota still strives for nothing less than perfect. Long live Lakota no matter what happens

This may be the best high school marching band I have ever seen.

One of my top two all time favorites from the marching firebirds.! This is my son's senior show (snare/drumline) - was a 5-0 competition season for the band and the percussion!!! My daughter is still in this year and my oldest also went through this program many years ago!! (my other top favorite is "Planets" from her sophomore year) They are amazing, that is for sure!!!! :)

Oh man I cant wait to be a part of this band (next year baby!!)

[drewcunningham28]

This is the best show I've ever had the pleasure to watch live

[erinlikestoPARTY]

wow...i'm in the front line of this band (gold resonator marimba during opener, ballad and closer on vibes) and i just love how we look. i never really got to know how it looked during the season. but we basically make people cry every time we play. 5 grand champs and 4 clean sweeps in one season is that bad :D

[maggieTHEnaive]

god how I miss being a part of this band.
