This is incredible. Everyone who was a part of this (students, parents, directors, designers, alumni) should be extremely proud. What amazing moments this activity can produce.
Someone posted about "chords on the hornline being played before the hornline had their instruments to their mouths". What this person failed to see were the two horns on the field prop that introduced that segment. The remaining hornline came in a few measures later. These videos were recorded in HD and are best viewed in large screens and not mobile phones.
+Johnson Band Videos Aug 2010 - Nov 2014 You expect us all to believe two, unmiced (there are no microphones on the prop as apparent by the closeup of the trombone feature at the beginning of the video), backward facing french horns in the middle of the field can put out sound equal to that of a horn septet on the front sideline?!?? Then when the septet does come in, there is no more sound added?!?!
+Awesomenes37 This is why you do not make assumptions about another band's show when you are not a part of their organization. The two french horn players are both miced wirelessly, and are both all-state level players. They're perfectly able to reciprocate the volume and energy of the septet, but as I stated before, were miced for their duet.
+Awesomenes37 Johnson uses wireless microphones. Both of the French horn players had wireless microphones, both went to area competition for three years, one made all-state, and the other was a runner up for two years. You obviously have some sort of obsession with this program. Auditions are next May should you think you have the chops to be part of this program. Good luck.
+Awesomenes37 also the two French horns do turn around and face the judges before they play. Sound is also added when the septet comes in. As I mentioned earlier these videos are meant for large screens not mobile devices.
Love the Whitacre opener!!! I don't think it would have fit any other band better than y'all! Congrats on the awesome season and can't wait to see what you have to offer in the future!!
I remember watching this last year, my 8th grade year, thinking "I'm never doing this" one year later, here I am, playing White Rabbit and FREAKING LOVING IT
@@aidanguyett644 "Fly to Paradise" by Eric Whitacre. It's from his Virtual Choir 4.0 arrangement, reframed from an aria he wrote called "Bliss" originally written for an electronic opera that he wrote in the mid-2000s called "Paradise Lost: Shadows and Wings"
GAM3RB0Y1 Yeah, but to be honest, this is U.I.L. scoring, which is mostly based on Music, Marching, and GE. Marcus did do better in music, marching was a mix, and C.T.J. got killed by going on 3rd, by being 7th. In BOA, they no doubt would do better. Plus, they had COLLEGE directors judging. Absolutely the worst thing that could have ever happened. If you look at the scores, one judge gave them like 20th or something, and another gave them 1st.
omg a modern marching band that actually just marches and plays... what a lovely change from bands who are drenching in theatrics instead just being what youre called ...
by far one of the best opening statements ever. such musicianship
The design, the music, the attention to detail... one of the most top-notch groups in the world. Congrats to the students and teachers.

you can hear all the pride in their sound, it gives me chills every time. I love my school 💙

+Johnson Band Videos Aug 2010 - Nov 2014 I see. As a freshman hotshot of a horn player, I am eager to see how I stand against your st8rs.
This band is amazing, it seriously made me cry. I would've given anything to be apart of that band!!
When did Carolina Crown get woodwinds ?!?!
I love this show! I find the theme and music unique and refreshing!
Love the Whitacre opener!!! I don't think it would have fit any other band better than y'all! Congrats on the awesome season and can't wait to see what you have to offer in the future!!
what Whitacre song was it?
OfficialHurricaneMusic Fly to Paradise :)
Sickest brass in the beginning completely blown away!
Ohhh, that badass raunchy trombone feature! MMM! So dirty! I love it!
P.S. I'm a trombone player at Leander! :D
Symphoniics yalls trombone feature was beast also!
dude
coming from a pit person, that hornline at the beginning was so godly, i cried
since its my first year, i was placed on vibraphone 2. now that drumline season has started, i hope to become vibes 1 as a freshman
Those petal notes in the trombone feature were freakin beast, even a year later it still amazes me
Go Johnson! Congrats on a great season!
I love the opening statement! Trombones are hard to march but y'all manage it!
This is by far as close to perfect a high school band can possibly get! Amazing job!!
I love watching the trombone section I wish my school would have done something cool like that
The best of the best❤️
I am so proud to be a part of this band
Why doesn't their percussion ever compete in any drumline contests? Those were pretty impressive beats
Seeing this was amazing.
8:13 😱

Did they do the Fly to Paradise preshow during prelims? I don't remember hearing it.
Either way, this is an absolutely sick show.
No we did not because of the time limit in prelims, causing not enough time to fit it in
What happened to claudia? Heard about them not attending Area finals last year?
Could y’all upload 2017 Championships Run?
The fact we have that prop now. and its the worlds most complicated prob ever. go SHS band.
What is that opener??
Like what is that opener music piece

When are you guys coming back to BOA Grand Nationals??? (Sincerely, an '09 Marian Catholic Band Alumni)
+Reagan Bach you dont know
This year! :)
what is the name of that closer??
Allison Williams well I'm only 11 months late...but symphonic metamorphosis by paul hindemith. Movement 2.
How did they place at State?
They got 3rd
I know Selina! Way to go!
lmfao I have no idea why I was surprised that they played chameleon
This looks great. Our band competed in state and placed 7th. They did better then coppell. Coppell only blasted and sounded nasty.
Matthew Cano ??? first of all i dont even go to coppell. and pretty sure blasting doesnt get a band 4th at state just btw
Who got 1st place?
I think Marcus High School and this band got 3rd but deserved 1st... in my opinion/:
GAM3RB0Y1 Yeah, but to be honest, this is U.I.L. scoring, which is mostly based on Music, Marching, and GE. Marcus did do better in music, marching was a mix, and C.T.J. got killed by going on 3rd, by being 7th. In BOA, they no doubt would do better. Plus, they had COLLEGE directors judging.

monstercat6 uil takes no General effect into account or difficulty of the show, only how clean it is. In that respect no one was going to beat Marcus
nathan snyder GE is one of the scoring categories. At least I strongly believe it is.
It is not at uil, the two categories are music and marching that's it
omg a modern marching band that actually just marches and plays... what a lovely change from bands who are drenching in theatrics instead just being what youre called ...
