This was an awesome show! Everything about it was just fantastic. The musical arrangements and performance was just unreal. Music for prauge was just....awesome. Forget contest placements, this show rocked the house
hey guys. congrats on 2nd. your show was amazing. our band was speechless after you were done. great job. it was great competing with yall at nationals. bshs band member. =]
At 8:40 you hear mr. earnhart yell come on to the band and then they play loud and to see the crowd give a standing ovation DURRING the show is amazing good job bell. AWESOME DVD
WOW I'm on drumline, and even I can't help mentioning that their color guard is simply amazing. not to mention that everything else they do is pretty cool, too.
Can't say for sure, but I'd say a lot can be left up to your personal interpretation. The show is called the quest, and the music takes you on a pretty diverse journey throughout the show. Perhaps it depicts a spiritual journey of an individual. Thats what I like to think of it as anyway
This show has AMAZING MUSIC based our show off this (Saratoga High (in california, not texas)). We changed it a little to make it sound more epic movie and less fantasy movie though, but I love both versions!
i will have to say this is by far the most exciting out of the past three years. the remaining and transcendents were too weird. but this is a great show.
crash do u know how to read, there is no time limit at state finals, and no they did knot play longer than 8 mins. from the beggining when the judge said "LD Bell you May Take The Field" thats when the timer begins, not during thier warm up or pre show.
i have given up on the uil judges. they put the stand around band in front of L.D. BELL!!!!!!! Every morning marcus's run through must have been something like this: "OK guys, run the show, pages one through 20, lets go." as soon as i learned they give the big trophy to bands that sound good but dont really move at all instead of bands like ld bell, cedar park or hebron i gave up on uil marching bands. HAVE MY BABIES LD BELL PLEASE!!!!!! GO MAKE EVERYONE WATCHING GRAND NATS GO INTO LABOR!!!!!
i love this show. personally, i like it much better than avon's. great job! i agree with cjlong7, awesome use of prague. i'm from south brunswick, nj and we're playing prague in our wind ensemble.
oh yeah i forgot to put this in my last one. marching band is kind of like student atheletes. your a student before your an athlete, and your marchers before your a band. thats why L.D. Bell, Cedar Park and Hebron all got shafted this weekend.
L.D. Bell would be the ultimate school to do a show with David Maslanka Music.. unfortunately he won't let marching bands put his music on the field! :[
Wanna talk about something fishy, my band got totally pwned 4 years ago at Area... All the judges gave us like 3's and 4's in the prelims, and one judge gave us dead last..... out of like 20 or so bands...
honestly marcus is great but ld bell shoulda won. i could even tell on the Marcus bands faces when they figured out they won. they were astonished and surprised.
We are very sorry that something like that would happen. We hope you wouldn't take it personal toward us "the band". Sometimes the crowd just a little over excited and they let things loose like that. Once again we apologize.
Man. This is amazing. But in response to mrsax13: So. LD Bell doesn't stand around, eh? Well, please watch from about 7:05 to about 7:45. What do you call that? Surely they're not (*gasp!) standing around and playing?!?
OK see kudos to marcus for winning state and i dont mean to disrespect, but wow that state finals competition was jipped. marcus was indeed awesome and thier show was on the highest quality, but wtf were the judges thinking!!! 2 days b4 they tied marcus in music(when 2 of thier soloists sqwaked a note) and won in ge and visual. i mean wow really?? why would a judge put them 10 in music(1best-10 worst) and 5 in marching. Im srry if this offends anyone but in reality bell should have won state.
and i'm not tryin to diss bell. i mean i respect those past show designers for being so innovative but i know for a fact that some people were APPALLED when they saw those past two shows. too much death.
To snareddrummer54321 Unfortunately, there are bad apples in any group. We apologize for the moronic manners of the crowd. I hope you realize that none of those people are band people. Bell band students are very respectful of other bands. That is drummed into everyone of them by the directors from day one.
i am not talking about this show. read what i wrote before you get all fucking defensive. I WAS TALKING ABOUT THE REAMAINING AND TRANSCENDENTS "i will have to say this is by far the most exciting out of the past three years. the remaining and transcendents were too weird. but this is a great show." you didn't even read it
great job LD Bell on first...but i do have one complaint. yalls crowd is the worst crowd we have ever played infront of. when our band (fossil ridge) walked infront of your crowd at the football game, we got told we suck and also got booed.now i know we arent the best band in the nation, because yall are.i think we atleast deserve the rite to be treated equaly...great job again, hope to see you do well at state.
WoW some ppl are idiotic. Last time i check which was 2 days before state, Bell had tied with marucs in music(with thier SOLOIST CRACKING A WRONG NOTE). And further more THERE IS NOT 8 MIN RULE FOR FINALS get ur facts straight b4 u say something. FYI marcus is an amazing band i never said anything to tarnish thier name, but cmon 2 days b4 state bell easily beat marcus at Super Regional San Antonio by 1.24 points. THATS A BIG GAP. Then here comes some lame judge 2 , 3 then a 10!?!?! wtf is that.
Marcus deserved first. LD Bell certainly knows how to put on a theatrical performance, but too bad it was a MARCHING BAND contest. Try marching and playing at the same time instead of bowing, kneeling, and rolling around on the floor whilst your lackluster soloists cover for the rest of the band. (no i'm not from Marcus)
This was an awesome show! Everything about it was just fantastic. The musical arrangements and performance was just unreal. Music for prauge was just....awesome. Forget contest placements, this show rocked the house
hey guys. congrats on 2nd. your show was amazing. our band was speechless after you were done. great job. it was great competing with yall at nationals. bshs band member. =]
Simply amazing!!!
Bell has so much emotion in their shows. While Marcus has so much cleanness
OMG Can't wait to see your show =D
wow. i love it!
they are WELL on there way to a national championship repeat, this is phenominal!
This is my favorite opener from LD Bell.
wilsonkm what’s the opener?
5A State will be REALLY interesting this year.. ;) Can't wait!

At 8:40 you hear mr. earnhart yell come on to the band and then they play loud and to see the crowd give a standing ovation DURRING the show is amazing good job bell. AWESOME DVD
this wasn't our best performance, lol, with all the squeaks and stuff, but i really did enjoy this show alot, that stadium was awesome to play in!
This show is just AMAZING!!!!! At 8:42 I always get chills!!!!!
I know Karel Husa composed the music right after the ballad. "Music from Prague 1968." Cool piece; very inventive to use it for marching band.
WOW
I'm on drumline, and even I can't help mentioning that their color guard is simply amazing. not to mention that everything else they do is pretty cool, too.
of all the videos of this show on youtube this one is definatley the best, too bad it was just an encore.
Hey, our show is based off this!
where does the opening thing and oboe (uhh maybe I'm wrong about the instrument) come from
Can't say for sure, but I'd say a lot can be left up to your personal interpretation. The show is called the quest, and the music takes you on a pretty diverse journey throughout the show. Perhaps it depicts a spiritual journey of an individual. Thats what I like to think of it as anyway
I love A Beautiful Mind. 6:10. It's gorgeous [:

great job at grand nats ld!

anyone know where I can view the whole performance?
i have given up on the uil judges. they put the stand around band in front of L.D. BELL!!!!!!!

@RBVTBONE --Um, Not true--Duncanville HS played part of a Maslanka piece a handful of years ago. Morning Star, I think.
really good show. i agree its not the best they ever did, but it is still simply wonderfull
yes
High School Marching Band...remember UIL?
Why were the tubas off on the sidelines? o.O
You may not be in Marcus band but are you even in band at all. I don't see any Marcus band members complaining about our show.
oh yeah i forgot to put this in my last one. marching band is kind of like student atheletes. your a student before your an athlete, and your marchers before your a band. thats why L.D. Bell, Cedar Park and Hebron all got shafted this weekend.
7:11 is friggin' sick!!!

lol I think that added a cool effect to the show

Aw... you missed the best part the whole band leaving and the color guard taking the field
Or maybe it's just the the way the band acts?
and i'm not tryin to diss bell. i mean i respect those past show designers for being so innovative but i know for a fact that some people were APPALLED when they saw those past two shows. too much death.

@smusic5333 don't let Maslanka know that!
Good luck guys at Grand Nats, really hope you win i love your show and you guys should have pwned marcus.
