Seeing this show for the first time at 8th grade band night was the reason I chose to do PLD Marching band...It still blows me away! Gives me chills! Ignites a fiery passion for this craft in me...over 10 years later...wow! love it! #ProudPLDAlumni
This was my senior year show. I started at Dunbar in 2000 as a freshman. We were eliminated from the state finals for the first time in school history on the WKU field that year only to come back four years later to win the whole thing on the exact same field for the very first time in school history. This was a special one and is something I will always remember.
This will forever be my favorite show! Watched it as an 8th grader for another county (family member played for Dunbar) and it’s now embedded in memory
As a current Lafayette member, it's clear as to why they won and the second highest scoring show in all of KMEA. Great job guys! Well done, no excuses, only perfection
i missed this performance when i was there, i'm really glad for the upload! i was in Male's band and i think we had performed about 1 band before they did. i really like dunbar, nice people!
Very common in this state during that time period. Either BOA grand nationals shows from prior years, or drum corps shows. The 3A champion came from another Texas band as well (Russell County- Exodus, bought from LD Bell).
I have the MP3 of this and the solo is perfectly clean. You can have your own opinion, but don't judge it off crappy youtube quality. Sorry that we're not Dixie Heights or Madison Central, who play a billion notes that sound like crap, but PLD's line always delivers by state in terms of cleanliness. I would highlight on the hypocrisy of that statement based the school you're from, but I'll take the higher road.
You're a drummer now? When that exposed those hertas could be blown so easily, but they nailed it. There's no need for that stuff like that. What, were those 5 stroke rolls in Allure about a minute in much harder?
Epicness54 we know this. What's your point? Ryle was awesome. PLD still had a great show, alumni are very proud. Tell me, what program are you with? Oh wait, I see Lafayette. Really classy comment there, pointing out the obvious.
The point still stands, you don't us posting links to these videos and Tradition and Sheba because they were uploaded, because we know you guys couldn't care less about them and see it as gloating.
Nope, I've admitted a thousand times so far that American Times was a much better show and fully deserved to win. I just find it funny that you're calling someone jealous when you post the one video that LHS has won with in the last 5 years on the 3 PLD state championship videos.
Our neighboring school WCHS played this the year before at Grand Nats our senior year. We finished 10th & 11th respectively.

I’m with the PLD band and we only had 60 musicians for our marching band show in 2019 and we still made state finals
At 3:33 the show kinda reminds me of PLD’s recent show called KODO
GRC alum here. This is still my fav PLD show from when I was student.
Would love if someone posted a better quality version of this show along with some of the other older shows not available anymore

I saw them live at the Murray Regionals, and at state semis and finals.
My guard instructor marched that show!!!!! It was her senior year!
I hope our drum feature this year is half as cool as that one was.
hehe nice reference to "marimba spiritual" in the "taiko" drum feature
For this show, it was Mark Higganbothem, but they are currently using Aaron Guirdy, and I think they could really use a new one if you ask me...
The churchill band did this the year before at grand nats
GradientEye Yes, where do you think PLD bought the arrangement? Hint: It's from the same composer.

Cleanest snare line in PLD history maybe, 1:37 is jizz in my pants worthy. The recordings sucks ass though, it makes it sound fuzzy.
I looove PLD! :D
What songs are they playing? I don't even recognize them

I still don't know any of the songs that these dudes are playing.
I know, its immature.
2017- PLD misses on finals for the first time since 2000.

>He assumes I'm from Lafayette
The same thing happens on your videos. But is there anything more trivial than a youtube thumbs up/thumbs down option? I mean, c'mon now.
The point still stands, you don't us posting links to these videos and Tradition and Sheba because they were uploaded, because we know you guys couldn't care less about them and see it as gloating.
Uh, cool?

You posted Celestial Suite on the other Lafayette videos. Just stop, it's blatantly obvious and you're backtracking is just making it worse.
