I ADMIRE your VERY QUCIK ACTIONS, as usual! I ASPIRE that all of you, each of you could play the ACTIVE ROLFE for FOUNDING the BETTER SOCIETY & THE FAR BETTER WORLD, becoming WHOLESOME, MUTUALLY BENEFICENT youngsters!! Please INSPIRE the WHOLE COUNTRY'S and the WHOLE WORLD'S COUNTERPARTS WITH YOUR YOUTHFUL VIGOR & PASSION!! Your YOUNG FORCE & ENERGY ARE absolutely MAGINIFICENT ! I am GETTING GOOSEBUMPS on my ENTIRE BODY now! I'm so EXCITED and INVIGORATED!! Thank you very much!
Ten years later and this band has stood the test of time. They exude excellence in every way possible, music, marching, discipline, outstanding color guard. I would not be surprised to learn the marching members went on to great things after learning lessons in life from their band director.
The Lotus Sutra preaches the equality of women and men and praises the greatness of women. Nichiren Dai-shonin would often highly praised women, it was increadible thing in those days, you know! It was over 700 years ago!
E' sempre bello ed emozionante ascoltare le marce americane, suonate da tante bravissime bande, però mi sono sempre chiesto, Dio oltre a benedire L' America dovrebbe benedire anche Sousa che ve le ha scritte queste marce, altrimenti cosa suonavate?...un caro saluto dall'Italia. ciao
This song is musical perfection to begin with, but even more so here because it's not bogged down with the damn piccolos of more recent years. I want to hear it like this, the way it was intended in the 1890's by Sousa!
I wonder how many people know how hard it is to play this march and march at the same time so well? This shows a great amount of practice and skill by youngsters of high school age. I have heard many bands of older more experienced performers than this, not even get close to this band.
They are really a great band,sounds like one,march like one,i enjoy listening and viewing them from time to time on fb,as a band member,it reminds me the days were,on sch as band member
It's so gratifying to see a community willing to fund a high school music program of this size & quality. The payoff is obvious. It's a shame so many other HS band programs don't have this luxury. Research has clearly shown that students involved in music programs often do better later in life than those that do not. Society does itself a favor to keep these activities fully funded---Not just football teams.
+Fergus Macleide, I understand your sentiment and enthusiasm, but you're wrong. The rank and file of the U.S. Marines are always spot on. Marines will not march until they are.
This is extraordinary Words fail me Its a tonic its mighty There is something about America and its Marines the USA the Patriotism unbelievable I was very surprised after talking to some critics to be asked at the end of the conversation Could I go there?????????????
I’m not sure that I have ever seen the Honor Guard march behind the band. Otherwise I was very impressed with the band - very disciplined, great alignment and very musical performance.
If you just listen to the video, it sounds like they're not even marching. That's the mark of a great band. Also, I love how in tune the tubas are when they pass by the cameraman.
Love this, brought back the days I played in a Marching Band, keeping those lines straight was tough. and When I played cymbals, we had to twirl them in the air after a hard strike on them. Great Job.

How nice your band. I enjoyed watching.
God bless America forever.
Happy New Year 2020

Most moving presentation of this march, great!✌

Well I marched three times in the Rose Parade. This right up there with any band. Thanks.
Hell of a High School Band.
What a WONDERFUL BAND
Best way to play a Sousa march is while marching.
Very good especially for a high school, instep, sound. Love the uniforms they look very military oriented.
*Uma linda Banda, Saudações do Brasil*
Why isnt anybody commenting on that awesome drum major skills??
Onde tem disciplina, tudo é bonito!
That is a beautifull melody
Awesome, I’m speechless, much respect
Excellent flag work/choreography to this song.
this video is randomly going viral almost 9 yrs later
The can march, too!!!! It goes without saying that they can play. But to do them at the same time, now that's really refreshing.
Wow they move and sound so good!
The Lotus Sutra preaches the equality of women and men and praises the greatness of women. Nichiren Dai-shonin would often highly praised women, it was increadible thing in those days, you know! It was over 700 years ago!
Great high school band. Perfect score: Marching-10, Music-10. They checked all the boxes.
Thats precision marching marching and performance is unmatched my many University's.
Ok? I know many other great bands marching better
@@asmundpinas3192 true and they play it too slow.
What's not to like. Great!
Adoro banda militar música e desfile

Es especial. Lindo...
LINDO DEMAIS.

And the King Band is off and running for another year.

Job well done... well done! You make us so proud
I love how the bari sax are in the middle of the tubas
Everyone gangsta until the Presidents Own Band And the US Marines come
You can tell they definitely worked on HABT (heel, arch, ball, toe)
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! ... What an impressive High School Marching Band! They certainly know their music. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "👍"

Stop. I've had a so strange deja vu...
It was 1997, i lived in little town in Arizona...
As good as they sounded, I still couldn't help but notice how clean their diagonals were! Once a band geek always a band geek! 🤷♀️
Amen, brother!!
River Side King H S ..( high schooll
They are really a great band,sounds like one,march like one,i enjoy listening and viewing them from time to time on fb,as a band member,it reminds me the days were,on sch as band member
Nice. A HS band with decorum and not a single cheerleader crotch shot. It can be done.
The Drum Major is based. My son is the Drum Major at his high school. They are impressive. Great performance.
Salute to excellence. Hard work is paying off. Kudos. 12 years in Percussion; Jr., Sr., High School and University Marching Band. YOU LOOK SHARP!!!!
I'm an old timer and always thought that the star,s and stripes forever should have been our national anthem,but that's just me.
Great song...too hard to sing!
Really takes me back to 1997.
I remember watching one of these in paradise arizona. The performance was absolutely explosive.
So very American, I love it. Perfect precision in step and music.

Excellent marching formation, oustanding band performance, iqual or better than professionals, Congratulations!
I 5ui
From New Zealand:- A very impressive performance. Those young people and their parent's should be justly proud of the whole parade.
Very impressive.... deserving of a much larger audience
I’m a Juilliard grad and I want to say bravo. In intonation is impeccable. You are all so talented !
Dayum! These kids have got it goin' on! The "marines" in Ovomit's inaugural parade didn't have ranks, files, and diagonals like these kids.
+Fergus Macleide, I understand your sentiment and enthusiasm, but you're wrong. The rank and file of the U.S. Marines are always spot on. Marines will not march until they are.
The Best US High School Band performance. Love it.
This is extraordinary Words fail me Its a tonic its mighty There is something about America and its Marines the USA the Patriotism unbelievable I was very surprised after talking to some critics
to be asked at the end of the conversation Could I go there?????????????
Impressive. Thanks. And the band director looks like a band director.
Excellent performance.
A lot of preparation went into this for sure.
God bless America
I’m not sure that I have ever seen the Honor Guard march behind the band. Otherwise I was very impressed with the band - very disciplined, great alignment and very musical performance.
Lmao they be twirlin Puerto Rican flags😂
This spectacular band deserves more spectators. Impressive!!!
My band director would never attempt this song in parade, that said, very impressive!
Me: - counting bass clarinets - 1, 2 oh wow that’s not- 3, oh 4, 5 holy crap.
No over powering brass or percussion. Excellent marching and alignment. Outstanding band.
Oh I love this. Absolutely perfect in every way .
Tell your instructor thank you for making you this fine group.
Yes the stars and the stripes forever so delightful to the eyes and the ears
Fantastisch!!!!!!
Well done, kids.
You did a great justice to this class piece of American music.
This is so cool! I love how you have a big band and people are holding flags from the branches of the Military! God bless America!🇺🇸
This has been out there for a while but I have to say great phrasing and intonation. Good job band and Directors. You should be proud.
This is my favourite version of Stars & Stripes;I play it all the time....Frank Francis,Australia
Beautiful!
Damn good for a high school
You said it!
A high school band! Amazing!
Great job👍
Well done. That one always cheers me up.
I LOVE MARCHING BANDS
YOU GOTTA BE ILL THEN
Wow - all really impressive! Well done everyone involved!
Wow -- it brings tears to my eyes to see this much skill and patriotism! God bless America. Forever.
Amen! 🇺🇸
Happy independence day.
Splendid - and so very American, with bags of razzmatazz and ballyhoo! Greetings from your British cousins this side of the Big Pond.
That marching is so damn good they look like marines
What a Pleasing Sight to watch,they're amazing and perfectly done.
ESSA BANDA É SIMPLISMENTE UMA BANDA ESCOLAR;;; OBSERVE O N[IVEL...
Brings back great memories, my high school days were so much fun marching in parades.
I am going to get a copy of this so I can see on my Phone Gee the best tonic I have ever had God Bless you all
sheeeeesh. so good
Excellent band in all departments. Would like to see more of their videos.
What wouldnt I give to see it. I feel vey fortunate to have been to the USA God bless you all
Wonder what you guys would think if a wv military style band came there for parade
Amazing! Their music and their marching...impeccable!
I love these patriotic parades, GOD Bless America !!!!!
If you just listen to the video, it sounds like they're not even marching. That's the mark of a great band.
Also, I love how in tune the tubas are when they pass by the cameraman.
They aren’t marching. They are walking. It was beautiful.
I agree...their line and file dress is masterful..excellent band!
Excellent presentation! But why weren't the spectators clapping in time with the music? That's tradition!!
Joe Pasquarello Because it’s a competition, not a concert. The crowd is being respectful of the judge’s ability to hear the music.
Hard to believe it is a H.S. band ! Wow !
Love this, brought back the days I played in a Marching Band, keeping those lines straight was tough. and When I played cymbals, we had to twirl them in the air after a hard strike on them. Great Job.
I HAD TO WATCH IT AGAIN, THAT'S HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS VIDEO
