DUDE WE ARE SO AWESOME!!! It holds a very special place in my heart, right next to Fire and Ice. Quite possibly better than Fire and Ice. I'm so glad we did this show.
I would say most band students could give a rat's ass about the origin of the music they play. I remember doing excerpts from the Billy the Kidd ballet in 11th grade, and I can guarantee only a handful of us even knew it was a ballet. Most just knew it was music by Copland, and that was it.
AMAAAAAAZING! I used to be in color guard and your is WAY bigger than mine was! Much better also XD Thier worst song was Tifa's theme, but even that was fantastic, the soloist doing a great job as well. JENOVA was probably my favorite song for the band and guard, the flag work being right on key and synchronized. The tosses near the end were GREAT and the solo toss finished things out awesomely. Great job!
Very awsome show! I've never had the privilage to see Novi in competition. We (Byron Center, flight III) never go to any competitions on the east side of the state. Anyway, Great Job!!!
I've heard a small 50-75 person band sound about 4x louder than a 300+ person band. They didn't sound like crap either, sounded like DCI. They also got 1st place at the competition they performed at.
The problem with doing shows like this is that, sadly, not everyone in the band is going to want to do something like this, and most of them probably don't even know what the hell FFVII is! Moreover, in my band I'm fairly certain none of the members would be interested in it regardless of whether they even knew about it or not. :( It's tragic...I really wish my band could do a show about videogames or anime or something like that. That would make my life.
i don't know what i must say for this video.. Cool? Beautiful? Nice? Awesome?.. argh... so much words that i can't say.. but if i must say 1 word.. then i will say Godlike!..
*gapes* ...I want MY band to do a Final Fantasy show! *is so jealous it's not even funny* Yeah, I've got a wicked flute solo this year, but...come on! It's FF! Nothing beats that. Well, in any case, awesome job, all. :D
@jediforce06 That might have been the case in this band back then, but I doubt many people in my marching band (or marching bands in general today) would be interested in it or know about it. It's a pretty old game, and regardless, since not everyone will want to do a show about one particular game that some people may not know about, it wouldn't be able to be done. It's the sad truth...believe me, I wish with all my heart we could do a show about a particular game or anime next year.
Mk not gonna even lie, I’m not too old yet I would play any song from this, I’m in fact in marching band rn and if we did something like this I would piss myself, doesn’t matter what song
I would love to know what is happening in this video, but the audio quality is horrible. Little camera mic couldn't really ever hope to do something like this justice.
Why the hell would you not play Rufus's Welcoming Ceremony?!
They are sure to save that for Parade season.
It should have been in there for sure!
They're anti shinra
My marching band played stuff from Star wars and Spider-man.....
FFVII beats that stuff by ridiculous margins....
@@Generic_Drummer over 20 years after ffVII, is still better than star wars dude.
I got instant cold chills hearing the main chorus flaring up on the FFVIII Opening.
Unbelievable! All three songs were transcribed incredibly well into a field routine. Congrats to the band!
@ferretsrcrunchy Its the anthem for all final fantasies actually. It was at the end of FFVII too

As a music teacher, 2 thumbs up along with 2 toes, brilliant

Er, the opening is music from Final Fantasy VIII. This is a medley, not just FFVII.
The opening song works so well for a marching band.
Would you go to a marching band performance to see final fantasy music?
Hell yeah I would
I'd go FF or not. But this is something truly special here
you guys are awesome, we're playing pop goes the weasel...
Very awsome show! I've never had the privilage to see Novi in competition. We (Byron Center, flight III) never go to any competitions on the east side of the state. Anyway, Great Job!!!
bcbandie4ever same here!
For any other game I would agree. FFVII was not a game. It was a step in human consciousness.
You misspelled ff6
Ghelimir right on!
FF6 is good but not world wide beloved as FF7, which changed the whole gaming industry globally.
I've heard a small 50-75 person band sound about 4x louder than a 300+ person band. They didn't sound like crap either, sounded like DCI. They also got 1st place at the competition they performed at.
Such good times... wow I miss this more than I thought hahaha
the coolest show EVER! very epic........i was in love with it! great job novi, you did amazing 4th PLACE!!!
@AnbuNinjaXIII final fantasy fan or not, the music was enough to get people to love the show ;)
This is true, my band has 70 winds and we still were able to make finals at state, the next band that was close to us had like 100.

lol im replying helle late, but my school did skyrim for our marching band show
Holy FUCK. I got chills throughout the whole thing.
it's just so... beautiful :'D
Do you have any idea about the cost of royalties? My band wants to do a FF7 show, and I'm wondering.
i don't know what i must say for this video.. Cool? Beautiful? Nice? Awesome?.. argh... so much words that i can't say.. but if i must say 1 word.. then i will say Godlike!..
That's fking badass. You guys are made of awesome.
I Was there! :DDD
*gapes* ...I want MY band to do a Final Fantasy show! *is so jealous it's not even funny* Yeah, I've got a wicked flute solo this year, but...come on! It's FF! Nothing beats that. Well, in any case, awesome job, all. :D
i can't believe this happened, i wish i was still in high school
This is so freaking awesome!

Lmaoooo they're still releasing new final fantasy 7. Rebirth is coming in 2 months and part 3 is still a long way to go
did you get grand champion? you should have if you didn't! you guys are awesome! Im jealous! I wish people in our band cared enough to do dynamics.
@fob199 dude ANY music done by Nobuo Uematsu-san is amazing and should be respected
lol i was like "that freekin school stole our song!" and then i realized that that is my school...
I would freak out!
Well make him! These are awesome to watch.
*The Limit breaks are strong with this one*
What an incredibly large marching band!
New RUclips doesn't suck
[Nerdgasiming intensifies]
I graduated highschool 13 years ago 😳
Undoubtedly where Xavier Woods learned to play trombone.
I would love to hear Fight with Seymour.
No one winged angel?
I would love to know what is happening in this video, but the audio quality is horrible. Little camera mic couldn't really ever hope to do something like this justice.
Oh my god... I FUCKING LOVE THIS!!
it was the very beginning of the 1st song. like the 1st 15 seconds
I love it.....I just cant stand the sound quality. I love playing Tifa's theme~
