Well Hello there NAMMB! Nice video,,,it would be nice if you would give 'credit' to the ones who originally made this video from it's original 16mm film . It was transfered at the request of Ivan and Judy Goodwin back in the 1980's , along with lots of other videos from those 16mm originals. I have a link here to the location of these videos ( along with other video of the period, ruclips.net/video/Z64u9-vYslU/видео.htmlsi=fApKHKb9_TpAAYWh The Ennis High Band still continues its quest of great performances and along with that and other NAMMB contest videos by TC Videos here in Ennis Texas. Those can be found on the you tube under a search for tcvideosennistexas , so , take a look and a listen. OH,,,I would also recommend the removal of the added logo superimposed on this original video on the you tube, and along with the other videos obtained without permission from previous you tube postings. Thanks,,,,, ' dwain1310' and 'tcvideosennistexas . '

Was born (raised) there 1 year after.

I saw a number of these kids when they were 6th grade beginners but man oh man they sure grew up! Way to go Mr. Geddie!

This is probably my favorite vintage marching video of Pittsburg. I wish we were as loud as they are in the call to attention

This is Kenneth G luedtke a student from there but I was in 8th grade

And larindas best friend is Renee Fairchild and Tonya brains

My girlfriend larinda hibbitts is the lead flute player in thr high-school band

I love finding these old videos to watch because I too was in the Carthage Bulldog band. My sister was too but she graduated in 1962 & she was a majorette & played clarinet. I was in 1966, played in the drum line. I marched with the cymbals usually. I believe Mr. Sam Burks was our band Director & I am pretty sure Mr. C.J. Lambert was her band director. We moved due to our mothers death but I always loved Carthage High School. I sit here sometimes & just watch videos. I always loved the military style of marching & military music.❤❤

this shouldve won state.....

Crisp and clean performance

It's so smooth it looks like it was taken straight from Pyware!

I grew up in Carthage which is very close to Henderson so I remember this band well. I was in the Carthage Bulldog marching band, marched with cymbals but played drums. This was in the early 60's. I love watching bands I knew, thanks!

This is actually really impressive. This is why I love y’alls school, but I’m in Jacksonville.

that's the most creative military drill I've ever seen... division 1.... no question!

This band did qualify for the 3A State Marching Band Contest but did not make it to the finals.

An example of what a military marching band should be able to do

Way too slow

Saw this for the first time today, and I have to say that I am blown away by the complexity of this drill! I have charted drills in 6-5 when I was a senior at Nacogdoches HS in 1985-86. Spent all summer on my living room floor with charts everywhere setting my drill to Under The Double Eagle! Wanted a bit of flash so I thought that I had some nice places for pins and gates. Mr. Hagood didn't know I was charting a drill so when I brought it to him at the beginning of August, he looked at it and was amazed! He said, "It's too hard, son! We only have nine weeks to contest and this would take 12 to teach! But I gotta say, there's people who fail this class in college and here you are with no instruction whatsoever?" He did honor me by using the walkout on the fanfare of Double Eagle! I was busy that year... was going to try out for drum major but I was made percussion section leader, which was almost as good. Wrote the NHS cadence that they've been playing variations of for almost 40 years! I really did want to become a band director, but it just wasn't meant to be. I did, however get to do some percussion coaching in Ark City, Kansas in 1996. Walked with the HS band during the K-State Central States Marching Festival that fall, and it was the closest I got to being a director! Everyone else was shaking my hand like I was the man! Must have been the suit! Looking at this drill from 1970, I just cannot imagine there being a school district willing to give the time and money it would take to teach this kind of precision in this age. Heck, they don't even practice as much as we did in the mid 80s! And as far as charting! If I could have seen this back when I was 16, I maybe could have figured it out in 8 months. I'm 54 now, with ADD and executive brain dysfunction. It'd take me years to chart that by hand. I'd be too distracted trying to watch more videos for reference!

Awesome Band!

RIP Mr. Cross

One of the best blends I’ve heard on the field. Sounds like a concert hall in Vienna itself. Thank you to Randy Kiser for delivering excellence all your years at Spring Hill.

i just started marching band for lindale and its actually so awesome i have awesome band directors and everything we do is just so fun

Great memories class of 94. Ronnie Ferguson legendary!

Y’all my band is playing this at the game this week and it’s bad💀💀

I’ve been looking for marching videos from Henderson for the years 2006-2010 but can only find around 2016 and up 😢 there was about 150-170 of us and I just want to re-live the moment lol 😌

The band director was Val Rose. I was a freshman this year. That is a complete different quality band than now.

How do you counter march??? Im struggling so much

Does anybody know the name of the fanfare, or what piece it came from? And if it was an original fanfare (?)

They have a REALLY good, strong, well-balanced sound! Even more impressive that they maintained that sound and balance even while spread so far apart across the field and even when facing away from the press box!

What is that fanfare called at the beginning?

division 1

This is the one and only time out of about 50 times I've seen Nederland that they've had an interesting drill and interesting music. This is quite good. Clearly they had a different director back when this was made -- it looks almost like something Charles Smith might have designed for the classic Vidor bands. It's a shame whomever the current Nederland director is can't design something interesting for all the talent they have. It seems their only care in today's world is getting a 1 at UIL no matter how dull the drill and music is/are.

They sure have a nice stadium for that band to play in! That is incredible for a high school, especially back in the 70s! I really miss traditional military bands like this. Even the few military groups still out there today are different; most of them try to include some corps style maneuvers or sounds. Either that or they are really boring -- it seems most people have forgotten that precision military bands can be extremely entertaining and interesting since today's all use the same basic countermarches instead of the clever formations in this video. Thanks for posting this -- I miss the days when bands routinely used the marching philosophy in this video.

Haha I was late that day. Weird coming across this.

Always fine!

Very usefu!

My incles is in tha

WOOOOW how far America has fallen. 30 years ago..... I went to that highschool and dropped out in 2005 lol.

hehe

I notice the website says Precision supports 6/5 and 8/5 stride, but when I go to Drill Info, the toggle switch is disabled at 6/5. Is this some kind of premium thing?

What year was this? It looks very familiar to when we did it back in the mid 90's in Lindale. 1995 or so?

Randy Kiser was my band director from 6th grade through senior year.. I can only imagine what he put him through to create this masterpiece lol.

That truly exemplifies the Henderson Tradition of Excellence. Not only was the marching great, the playing was so crisp. Great performance.

What good times. I miss all of you so much.

Where can I find the sheet music for this?

Is this Ennis USA ? Its not Ennis Co clare Ireland.

They have a very strong bass line! I LOVE that! And even though I've watched this video several times before, I just now noticed what a good blend they have, no matter which direction they're facing -- and us marching band folk know how important the direction you're facing is! Whoever wrote this drill did a fine job with the music and musicians and instrumentation he had to work with! 👏🏿👏🏻👏🏾👏🏼👏🏽

Love "Them Basses"!!!
