- Marching band lovers UNITE! Today I blind react to Hebron High School's 2022 Marching Band Show "Odyssey FM". Did you get a chance to see this show live? Leave a comment below! What was your marching band show this season?
Wow, Hebron HS is always so impressive. Their sound, visual effect as well as just overall entertainment is so much fun to watch. I’m a dad of son who did hs band, blue coats and even college band. And now have a grand-nephew who’s killing it in hs. Always love a great a band. ❤❤❤
Carmel had a very different style of show, and they were definitely clean! Its hard to compare Hebron and Carmel bc they do things so differently. I think the difficulty of Hebron’s book is just unmatched though.
You should watch Keller they arguably had a harder book. But it just wasn’t composed as well and they were still super dirty at the end. They easily had the hardest drill you should watch some of the head cams it’s crazy. Hebron deserves everything Though they are absolutely insane. I’m just saying kellers book was stupid hard just dirty.
@@hotscauce7x503 keller does some hard stuff, but this is just so consistently hard. not sleeping on keller though. they are one of the best. grew up next door to them
@@milliewx1679 Keller arguably has the best lower Brass section in the country yr over yr.
@@TheDesignGuru87 Carmel is a fine high school marching band to be sure but I respectfully disagree. “400 piece”symphony is a stretch since the music book is so remedial compared to the other elites. Carmels Nats performances were mired by lower brass and mid voice tuning and intonation issues- Mostly Brass
Ironically, BOA has historically rewarded these overly design relying Midwestern High School bands (insert anything ISSMA). Carmel just happens to be the largest and the luckiest considering they have Gaines for design!
Think about concert season. The easier the music book the cleaner the sound overall
Carmel doesn't march and play, Avon doesn't either, most don't march and play anymore
saw their finals performance live and it was amazing
Thank you so much for listening to our show!
bravo on the show! we are another texas band (Prosper) And we just have people gushing about yalls show! Absolutely fantastic, and tell the flugel soloist the double G in finals was CLEAN
you guys are awesome, no costumes or gimmicks, just raw skill. Could totally teach DCI a thing or two.
Awesome! Hebron HS Band is the Cream of the Crop! Stunning perfromance!
It was cool to see your reaction to Hebrons show this year! Thanks for uploading this video! I would recommend watching the Prosper HS Marching band’s semi finals run at Grand nationals. They did make it to finals at Grand Nationals but I thought the band did much better at Semi Finals. Thanks again!
I'll check it out! Thanks for the recommendation!
Prosper placed much better at Nats than at San Antonio! Fantastic rankings for such a great program. I am a fan.
@@johnnychikko3800 Thanks!
The level of musicianship at Hebron is unrivaled. Most top bands in Texas will send 5 or 6 students to All-State at the TMEA convention in February. Hebron had TWENTY FOUR go last year. And that's including kids in their own area from Markus and FloMo who are elite programs themselves. I'd reckon there'd be probably a few more that didn't quite make the cut at area due FloMo and Marcus students advancing.
@Dave Gixon
Vandergrift also sent several and traditionally always done better in Wind Ensemble. They have won state honor band twice
@@turnne Hebron themselves did get selected to be the TMEA honor band for the 2023 convention, surprised they weren’t selected at some point in the last 5 years tbh but they’re gonna be there now in a few months!
Edit: they’re also two time honor band selections as well, they last played in 2011
@@vidalrodriguez2001 You are right!!...I just looked this up and here are the top 5. They are now up with Vandergrift HS in winning both state and wind ensemble competitions in close proximity years
.Its amazing to have the top two 6A wind ensembles in the same school district..which should make for very hard regional competition.
1 Hebron HS Lewisville ISD
2 Flower Mound HS Lewisville ISD
3 Claudia Taylor Johnson HS North East ISD
4 Dawson HS Pearland ISD
5 College Park HS Conroe ISD
@@vidalrodriguez2001 would like to point out that Hebron couldn't compete for the years that our director (Andy Sealy) was the head chair of the TMEA board (don't know what his official title was), so we won in 2011 and weren't able to compete again in 2016, but ended up going to the Midwest Clinic instead. I believe this was the first time Hebron was eligible to compete since then, but could be wrong.
@@nate_w13I’ve heard that that was one of the reasons why, but I don’t know exactly how much that prohibits the school from submitting an honor band bid, in any case, after that 2021 marching season, I knew there was no one else that was getting chosen for honor band, y’all were just way too good
I recommend Homewood High school’s 2019 show, often regarded as our best halftime we’ve ever had by our seniors
You should react to the Vista Ridge HS band! I loved their show so much this year.
Hidden gem. Should of medaled
@@TedRLY It was REALLY competitive this year. They were so good.
Thanks for the recommendation!
SHUTUP JESSE
Agree! Please do Vista Ridge HS next. They were 1 in music ensemble, and 1 in brass at UIL State
possibly Cedar Ridge next? 3rd place with a great show theme
I'd definitely watch more reactions like this! So many good schools at Texas UIL and BOA San Antonio.
I recommend Round Rock HS from this year.
Thanks for watching and for the recommendation! It will go on my list!
Bridgeland High School 2022 “525,600 Minutes”
Hebron is only allowed by the district to go to Grand Nats every 4 years for budgetary reasons. The school district has 4 insanely competitive schools, but overall, Hebron is the most competitive. It's to give other potential bands within the district the opportunity to go as well. My son marched 2019 - 2021 with Hebron. We petitioned for out of district transfer just for the opportunity to march with this program
you should react to their 2023 show now! the brass book is very difficult especially for a high school group!
Amazing video should react to Ofallon township highschool
Thanks for the recommendation! I'll add it to my list!
You should react to Avon’s 2022 show “Bloodlines”
you should react to vandegrift! they were the only band to beat hebron this year
vandy only wins in UIL any normal BOA score they dont win, they also didnt technically win state they tied but had judges preference
@@Mat.Anthony ok, then by that logic Hebron didn't win prelim's because it was also a numerical tie. the UIL scoring system holds each aspect of the performance accountable (7 judges each judging one caption), while BOA focuses heavily on show design (General Effect is basically the show design caption). Looking at the Finals results from BOA San Antonio the Music and Visual Captions more or less align with what the UIL judges said. While Hebron was amazing this year, there was a lot of visual dirt for an end of year product.
@@TeatimeEdits 💯 I totally agree with your perspective. UIL State adjudicates much better presently and arguably better than BOA only at the state Area and FINAL levels since the recent sub-caption adoptions
BOA adjudicates and rewards overly heavy design metrics which dictates adults predominantly capturing “credits” versus student individual talents (visual and MUSIC execution)
We all love Cartwright and Gaines but should their wisdom dictate scoring and metric perimeter for the most recognized national high school marching band circuit?
I think “NO” because it doesn’t recognize programs outside of the Indianapolis geo. Many other States and programs equally push the visual envelope plus add music innovation difficulty yet it seems they always seemingly fall flat at LOS.
Thought occasions of GN gold have happened to rotation visitors like BA, Tarpon and Texas. This is the exception and not the rule. Even fans from Indiana present at these events have wondered how Avon and Carmel place so high at GN’s compared to their rotating competitors
This was a concern even in the early (BOA) 2000’s yet it has become more evident in the 2010’s and present!
Jonathan Martin, it's not hard to enjoy a band that good. Have you ever investigated any Drum Corps DCI Finals shows? They're incredible! I'm from the hometown of a winner--the Phantom Regiment, so I've seen a lot of these in person over the years.
Just saying that you should consider reacting to the bixby highschool, my childs in the Jenks band and I saw bixby preform and it amazed me.
There are some amazing Oklahoma bands- Jenks and Bixby are both on that list! I'll try to check out Bixby's show!
You NEED to react to Brownsburg Highschool’s marching band called “The Uninvited”!😮
Reagan could have easily taken State! The non traditional guard theme and work was genius These type of all women teams that are classically trained are future of expensive guard work imo.
With the backwards masks! G E N I U S ❤️
I am going to bet if you asked 25 adjudicators nationally who the best there is right now is ...20 of them would say Hebron
Hello. I'm from Rockwall, and we are in the same area with Hebron, but we also have to compete with Flowermound and Marcus, who all got 1st, 2nd, 3rd, last year at state. We got 6th last year in area, one away from going to state, was wondering if you could react to one of ours, because i feel like we have a great shot at going to state but the area we are in is just over crowded with great bands. if you decide to watch last years (the one I recommend) use the area finals video because that was the best, you can also find multiple angles if it.
Thanks for your recommendation!
Can you take a look at Lone Star High School? I go there, and I want to know what you think! Thanks man
Hey! I was just wandering if you had the time, if you would be able to check out Jacksonville State Universities marching band, the Marching Southerners 2022 show One Giant Leap. awesome to see a composers perspective!
Thanks for the recommendation! I'll add it to my list of requests.
I some why had my play back speed at .75 and didn't even notice till watching this and i heard how the band just sounded slower than usual so i chekced. Pretty surprising to see how i couldn't tell the difference on other videos.
To put it simply, yes. They are the best band to date. But I do have to admit this is not as good as their last years show, “Penstriped”. I will leave the link with you. Feel free to react to it or just watch it on your own. I think you will probably agree. Love your dissection of what you are seeing and hearing.

As far as my enjoyment of both, I could have either one, got to see both of these shows live several times, Penstriped I’d say would take the cake for me as well, but in terms of the demand put on every performer in the music they played, this show was able to top even Penstriped for sure. Although for me, I absolutely enjoyed how explosive, deep and powerful their low brass was in Penstriped, just absolutely on a whole other level, tier than anyone else, it’s easy to be off balance with how loud Hebron can be and how loud they were in their very opening hit that year, but when you hear the low brass all on their own, you know why they’re able to push their sound as much as they did that year👀
Thanks for the link! I'll put it on the list!
As someone performing both of these, I can without a doubt say PENstriped was the better show by far. PENstriped was more fun for me, and for my specific drill, PENstriped was barely harder than Odyssey FM. But I say overall the ensemble visual in Odyssey FM is just so much harder than PENstriped’s
One thing that puts PENstriped ahead of OFM is the how the students rose to the challenge of the arrangement. Most great bands uses technique (double/triple tonguing) at the front end of the first tune and the rest is a solid show. PENstriped has the hard technique throughout the entire show, including the end when most chops would be warn out. And do it for Prelims and finals. It’s the most well rounded show I’ve ever seen. They deserved their first place finishes at State both years.
@@eddietucker7005 I appreciate that. I agree with you, even though sadly this year it didn’t roll that way. It wasn’t our best run, but I watched us and Vandy and I think we should’ve taken it. But the judges didn’t think so, so 🤷♂️
Argyle high School 2022 shades of autumn
Ah, their first year as a 5A after beating all of us 4As in 2021 and 2020. I miss watching them perform in 4A lol.
Hey! Can you react to the midland Michigan highschool marching band? They are really good!
you should react to tarpon springs
@3:35 are all of them really doing jumps and playing simultaneously? Your comment suggest that, but I don't hear anything other than some percussion with flute/piccolo solo
I think he was talking about in the opening movement just before the solo
Sorry for any confusion- with that comment I was referring specifically to 3:07 during the opening impact. At 3:35 it is just percussion. Trying to watch and make comments at the same time is sometimes confusing, haha!
you should react to the Elizabethton highschool band. they won Tennessee state comp
I love to watch Broken Arrow High School band.
Tomorrowland Braswell High School
You should do Ronald Reagans "In Plain Sight", "The Path", and "Secret World"
Thanks for the recommendation!
Secret world simple the best show ever
Can you review 2018 prosper next?
can you please react to hendrickson highschool 2022 trainlapse show? The Grand Nationals video would be the best one to watch. That’s my band and i would rlly appreciate it :)
Hebron’s UIL prelims was fantastic but FYI their UIL finals is online and much cleaner (Flugel solo brought it!!!). Amazing show yet Vandegrift deserved this State 2022 Title imo?! Texas Co - Champs at the very least but Hebron music book was DCI level OMG!
In Texas we call them the Hebron Drum and Bugle Corp!
You just need to hear them in person! Amazing………….
I'll have to take a look! I thought this was the finals run. Incredibly difficult book for sure! Major props to these students!
@@jonathanmartinmusic Should Hebron or Vandy not make the trek to Nats next year I will buy your ticket to San Antonio! You just have to experience San Antonio Super Regional in person 💯.
Meet directors and promote your compositions in person.
Wonderful content brother ❤️
@@johnnychikko3800 Thanks man! Appreciate your feedback and thanks for watching.
@@johnnychikko3800 I they stay on their schedule, Hebron should be going next year.
Klein Oak High School show entitled stir the pot
Review the Blue Springs Missouri Golden Regiment!!!!
Thanks for the recommendation!
Dude should judge at contests
PLEASE DO VANDEGRFIT VIPER BAND!!!!
You should check out the band that beat them and all other Texas bands cough cough Vandegrift HS (state champs)
Could you react to the Mustang Marching band show please
Thanks for the recommendation! What's the name of the High School and State? I'll add it to my list!
Mustang high school, Oklahoma
Haha funni color tuxedo
Tied for first and Vandergrift won
How do you say the word Hebron?
pronounced: He-brun
Scv 2018
Honestly I'm a bit more of a fan of their show last year "Penstriped" lol it was really good, but I got to see this show live and it was just so great to see it live rather than through a video
(Btw you should totally take a look at the midland high show ;) )
You should try reacting to College Park High School Forest of Numbers 2022 :)
The best Wind Marching High School Band in the world is Kyoto Tachibana SHS Winds Marching Band World’s Best Entertainment. If they compete here I’m sure Kyoto Tachibana will wins.
And?
@@openocean9370 Ohio State LoL 😂 I had watched numerous times oh boy the are the American’s badass LoL. I watched them numerous times and stunned “Ohio” in handwriting style marching band LoL 😂
@@tonyhernandez3227 Literally the thumbnail is just for fun. Band is fun
You were saying about building up to a hit....
Look at their year before this 💀
In the future, you should pause the video when you have something to say/analyze so you can really break the show down more. You're doing a reaction, so us as viewers are interested in seeing that more in depth like most reactors do
Thanks for the feedback!
I miss melody...
I'm sorry but I do not see how you can possibly know how good or bad they sound because you talked through the whole performance. I listened to you for a few minutes then left. This is, by far, the best high school marching band and you did not let your audience enjoy it.
Hi Randy, thanks for your comment! It is a "react" video, so I give my thoughts and feedback on the music as it plays (like a judge would do). In future videos, I plan to stop the videos more, but if you are looking to watch the show without comments, I would definitely look up a performance video of the show here on RUclips, and then come watch the react. Thanks again for stopping by!
Wish you could use a better recording than someone's phone with the "woo" people all around.
This is cool, but Jonathan ruins it, because he's talking over the performance.
Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you stopped by to watch. It is a react video, so I am trying to fit a lot of information into a short amount of time. Hope you continue to stop by the channel.
you are aware Hebron did not get 1st place? Vandergrift won!!!!!!
Yes! I was referring to some of the comments on my previous video that said "Hebron is the best" and just offering some commentary. I'll do a react video to Vandergrift soon too- can't wait to share that!
Technically Vandy and Hebron tied at State (prelims and Finals). Judges chose Vandergrift! Co- Champs imo 🤓
@@johnnychikko3800 not talking technically.....all the relevant reports reported Vandergrift as #1.
That's a valve trombone, right? (Solo ).
