you may say "wow this is impressive!" but how many times are they playing while not standing still or half time marching... All I'm saying is, they do two things- Jazz run, and park and bark
+Awesomenes37 It's really rare to see a high school band with this much control of dynamics in their playing. Plus their visuals are pretty kick ass and their sound quality beats most high school concert bands. They are nothing short of talent. Criticize the show design all you want, but it's clear this is an exceptional group of kids. They have amazing talent whether you like their show or not, and the judges know that.
+TheWindsofWonder just because they placed high doesn't mean they're super good. Sure their chords are good but awesomenes37 is right. All they do is jazz run, stop and play some notes. They placed high because their show is relatively easy to other shows that are more complex, but aren't performed as good as this because they aren't easy. I saw them in a competition back in october, and I'm sure everyone there agrees Reagan's band was much better.
+Nicolas Rodriguez I couldnt disagree anymore, in the 1st place there is no reason for anyone to be bashing on a band program, secondly this is a very old video and we had changed much since then. this is one of those moments where if you dont have something good to say, dont say it at all.
Coming from a Mello player from a rival school of theirs (Ronald Reagan) I totally thought this show was killer. San Antonio bands hold no bad blood against one another! Really can't wait to see what Flashdance has to offer!
They would have won multiple BOA Grand National Championships if they competed. As far as I know they've never competed at Grand Nats but almost always win the San Antonio Super Regional against all the other Texas bands. Very impressive band.
I'm pretty sure they competed in 2011, and they got either try or 5th; still waayyy impressive for a young school, much love towards CTJ. Salty Marcus kid's everywhere, you can't escape him. He's still probably salty about not winning nationals, when Marcus went probably!
+Vidal Rodriguez They finished 8th in 2011 ahead of Lawrence Central HS, IN (Now Lawrence Township HS, IN), William Mason HS, OH, Lafayette HS, LA, and Wando HS, SC.
if you have by chance recorded Cypress Falls, please hold off on posting until November, we do not want to reveal any of our show until after our final performance Atlanta. Thanks!
very fine group! The black shoes and dark uniforms do tend to hide marching mistakes, but, they also take away sharpness when forms are spot-on and lining up. The stripe is not flattering to the marching technique... I LOVE the choice of music!
+nathan snyder I haven't posted Leander because it was shot handheld on my secondary camera, so the footage came out a bit shaky.unfortunately I ran out of high speed SD cards and wasn't able to shoot with my 4K camera.
+Jetliner oh I have nothing bad to say about either band. The comparison to Crown and CTJ just made us all remember when Crown got second at DCI finals.
+SonicStormQ2 And true that is. first I watched this show (prelims, far off to the left side) it seemed boring. The reality is, there's not much music on that side of the field anyway. Reagan's show blew me away on the first hit. but true it is that both bands are really really good.

They did place 1st in prelims at the BOA super regional in San Antonio so they must be doing something right...
Why do you go around on all of our videos and post condecending comments, ive checked a ton and your just sitting there bashing us.

Their uniforms are really aesthetically pleasing.

Hey I got your band director from 2015! Mr. Chavis is awesome

4th or 5th, sorry

I apologize for being late. I do agree it is impressive, but I do not think this show would win Grand Nationals

+Jetliner We are done! Feel free to post if you have us, I guess...
On the 3rd row , orange platform , that is where my cousin is playing :D I got to say hi to her after the encore. 😊

do you by any chance have any Leander videos?

What piece is the opening impact?
Talon White symphony in b flat by hindemith
I saw this Friday when we played against them at the football game.
Hate me all you want... CROWN GOT SECOND!
Hate me all you want, but unlike BD, Reagan deserved to win.
