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.
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.
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.
I have watched and listned to this band over and over,and still enjoy it.Better than many professional bands;well done.....best wishes from Australia. Frank & Jillian Francis
This is perfection. The lines are straight, everyone is in march step. The music is beautifully performed. The diagonals are exact. Passing the review stand both the drum major as well as leader of flags render an eyes right to perfection. There is no other band close to this performance
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?????????????
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
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.
Wow, thanks for the great sounds and great marching. Gave me a jolt to see all those bass clarinets. I never marched with mine. PS just watched this again (week later) and was thinking the beauty & precision of this band is a direct result of Soul, God. The band director, musicians, honor guard, flag team, all participants, showed their dedication to & love of the artistry that went into this wonderful performance. Again, many thanks for the soul expressed in this beautiful accomplishment.
Each and every one of the participants (band members, marching girls and the flag-bearers and flag-twirlers) were well "turned-out" and they are a credit to their communities. Great sound, excellent visual display and thoroughly enjoyable Musicianship. Well done to all concerned!!!
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!
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.
Not only is this band in step, they are in tune with one another and their ranks and files are beautiful! Haven’t seen a high school band in a parade this dedicated in many years!
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.
what is the purpose of thumbs down for these videos. great performance from young people and yes, i was surprised to see the bass clarinets in a marching band,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,cool.
+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.

I’m a Juilliard grad and I want to say bravo. In intonation is impeccable. You are all so talented !
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 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.
Really takes me back to 1997.
I remember watching one of these in paradise arizona. The performance was absolutely explosive.
From New Zealand:- A very impressive performance. Those young people and their parent's should be justly proud of the whole parade.

How nice your band. I enjoyed watching.
Chills down my arm and through my heart. Wonderful. Thank you John Phillip Sousa and Riverside HS band.
The Drum Major is based. My son is the Drum Major at his high school. They are impressive. Great performance.
This is perfection. The lines are straight, everyone is in march step. The music is beautifully performed. The diagonals are exact. Passing the review stand both the drum major as well as leader of flags render an eyes right to perfection.
There is no other band close to this performance
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! ... What an impressive High School Marching Band! They certainly know their music. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "👍"
Very impressive.... deserving of a much larger audience
Brings back great memories, my high school days were so much fun marching in parades.
Wow -- it brings tears to my eyes to see this much skill and patriotism! God bless America. Forever.
Amen! 🇺🇸
No over powering brass or percussion. Excellent marching and alignment. Outstanding band.
This is my favourite version of Stars & Stripes;I play it all the time....Frank Francis,Australia
This spectacular band deserves more spectators. Impressive!!!
The Best US High School Band performance. Love it.
You can tell they definitely worked on HABT (heel, arch, ball, toe)
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 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
Well done, kids.
You did a great justice to this class piece of American music.
Excellent marching formation, oustanding band performance, iqual or better than professionals, Congratulations!
I 5ui
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
What a Pleasing Sight to watch,they're amazing and perfectly done.
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.
The color guard was spot on! That is my favorite part of marching bands.
Oh I love this. Absolutely perfect in every way .
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.
Excellent performance.
A lot of preparation went into this for sure.
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!🇺🇸
So very American, I love it. Perfect precision in step and music.
A high school band! Amazing!
Great job👍
Tell your instructor thank you for making you this fine group.
Amazing! Their music and their marching...impeccable!
Excellent band in all departments. Would like to see more of their videos.
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!
Outstanding high school band! Loved the drum work!
Everyone gangsta until the Presidents Own Band And the US Marines come
Brilliant great playing and marching ! Wooooow what a sound !
Well done Riverside King High School. You are a class act.
Gives me chills, perfection! Miss having bands play band and march music!
I HAD TO WATCH IT AGAIN, THAT'S HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS VIDEO
Wow, thanks for the great sounds and great marching. Gave me a jolt to see all those bass clarinets. I never marched with mine.

Stop. I've had a so strange deja vu...
It was 1997, i lived in little town in Arizona...
What wouldnt I give to see it. I feel vey fortunate to have been to the USA God bless you all
Well done. That one always cheers me up.
Each and every one of the participants (band members, marching girls and the flag-bearers and flag-twirlers) were well "turned-out" and they are a credit to their communities. Great sound, excellent visual display and thoroughly enjoyable Musicianship. Well done to all concerned!!!
I could not agree more.
How smart and fabulous

🎺🎺🎺📯📯📯📯🎺🎺
Yes the stars and the stripes forever so delightful to the eyes and the ears
Fantastisch!!!!!!

I agree...their line and file dress is masterful..excellent band!
I love these patriotic parades, GOD Bless America !!!!!
Perhaps the best sounding and looking high school band yet...
A great performance of one of, if not the, greatest song ever written.
great job by these students and director - miss this more formal style
Where has this spirit been hiding? Bring it back.
My band director would never attempt this song in parade, that said, very impressive!
Just beautiful and stirring marches. Just what I need right now.
True America, still young, strong and well. Salute!
However, a lot has changed in the last 11 years!
Beautiful!
This is great marching and even better playing.
Most moving presentation of this march, great!✌
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.
Impressive. Thanks. And the band director looks like a band director.
Wow - all really impressive! Well done everyone involved!
Nothing gets you moving as like John p. Sousa
Hard to believe it is a H.S. band ! Wow !
I LOVE MARCHING BANDS
YOU GOTTA BE ILL THEN
Wow excellent formation. ranks and diagonals straight!! Awesome
I noticed it too!
What an incredible band!
God bless America forever.
Happy New Year 2020
Not only is this band in step, they are in tune with one another and their ranks and files are beautiful! Haven’t seen a high school band in a parade this dedicated in many years!
Hard to believe that's a high school band. Just fantastic...
Yeah, many high school bands are more high school than band. This one had its act together.
Well I marched three times in the Rose Parade. This right up there with any band. Thanks.
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.
These young ladies and gentlemen are AWESOME!!!
Splendid - and so very American, with bags of razzmatazz and ballyhoo! Greetings from your British cousins this side of the Big Pond.
what is the purpose of thumbs down for these videos. great performance from young people and yes, i was surprised to see the bass clarinets in a marching band,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,cool.
This band sure has it all together!!!! NH
カッコいい✨ちゃんと足も揃ってるし。演奏しながらできるって凄い↗️
Me encantan las marchas gracias por compartir desde Chile un abrazo 🥰🌎🇨🇱
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.
Sweet sound and powerful start. 👍
That was excellent !!! Banner carriers, drill team, band and color guard. All rank a "Big 10" in my book ! Thanks for showing this.
Very good especially for a high school, instep, sound. Love the uniforms they look very military oriented.
Unbelievably good for a high school band!! Wow!
Very impressive band!
Great band with a great sound!
I couldn't believe that's a high school marching band. Whoa!
Looking forward for the REPLAY event fans, get in action, this is too beautiful to be dropped, fans love youuuuu
Outstanding .. just... outstanding.
God bless us start and end your day with our ALMIGHTY GOD. THANK you so much po. From Lani D. Nepomuceno, Philippines
Great dress and cover for a non-military unit. They should be proud.
I love good marching bands.
These kids nailed it. Great sound, great marching.
Rowwdy Colt wQ
Work that baton, Drum Major!! Kudos to the COLOR GUARD as well. Great job all around!!
This was the exact day when I was born
@SavegerAlexPlays that’s messed up
Lol, u are 11
That marching is so damn good they look like marines
Happy independence day.
