Why on EARTH is anybody from this HS wearing BLUE? JT is on the north side people! REL '75

might need to work on balance and the amount of air they are putting in there horn on the high notes, stronger sound as well

Not a bad performance but ive seen better performances by the mean green marching machine.

Awesome job, Lindale Band! It's been almost 35 years since I played on the drum line... but that snare cadence is still burned into my mind and hands. Such excellence and teamwork. 35 years later... those lessons will stick with you. And great xylophone work up front! Keep it up! (class of 1991)

They stole this from Nacogdoches 😭

This is EXACTLY how high school marching bands should perform. No props, just musicality, actual marching, period. Love this performance and will enjoy our first season with them in 2024.

if that drum major doesn't do something with his voice i would be shocked

Rude 2nd band.

So proud to have grown up in Carthage Texas and I marched in the Bulldog band, way back when, lol, as my kids say I came over on the Mayflower! I played percussion but marched with cymbals. I loved playing them, I kept them real shiny & l could twirl them up in the air! One night I didn't tie the leather straps back tight enough & when I twirled them up real high one of them went air borne & flew right over the head of our drum major that year who was Francie Fitch. She never knew it until we got off the field, lol. We were always told if we dropped something, like lost a shoe, keep marching even in competition so I had to carry on. Our band Director was Mr. Sam Burke. I sure loved that man. I loved band, it was my life besides my church. All my friends were in the band. I had several drum majors, Tommie Jo Ritter was drum major and one more I can't remember. This was in the mid 60's. A bunch of us ladies connected years later and started having a reunion once a year and lots of us were in the band so we gave Francie a whistle & we all lined up & marched & laughed our butts off. Francie asked me if I tied my cymbals tight. Band is so fun, even 50+ years later.

Yall ate

probably one of the best modern military drills i've seen in a while

There was a few marching related issues - especially noted in the final piece. however, it was fixed quickly! Music was great, really good low brass and good and strong tone. Only other complaint is in the final piece in the last phrase, it sounded as tubas were playing exponentially louder and didn't leave alot of room for a true low brass crescendo at the end. I feel as if a ( 1 - Superior ) is due!

That's my school!! 😭 (I used to go there but stopped in 8th grade, I love them sm ;-;)

Did not know this was a thing until today, totally different from "dci style" marching band

Honestly I think our old uniforms(as shown in this video) look better than the new design

you ready to post this years performance on yt

Can you record our performance at state at Baylor stadium this year?

The memories I’m on cymbals 💙💙

🔥🔥🔥

🥰🥰🥰🔥🔥 cymbals

🔥🔥🔥🔥

Love watching them and reminiscing way back to when I too was a proud marching Bulldog band member. I was in the percussion but only marched with cymbals but I loved them. I could twirl those cymbals way up over my head & never miss a beat. Band was my life. I'm 75 so you do the math, lol. I live in Alabama & bands out here don't March military style or even march much. Funny, the uniforms are just like we wore, as my son tells me when I came over on the Mayflower, lol. But, he was in the band 7 years like his mama. Just didn't appreciate our style of marching. We're coming "home" to Carthage this October 11th for 5 days & I was so hoping y'all would be playing at home so we could come see the band in person. My husband is from Nebraska & they also marched military style but he says Carthage is much better. Love to all the Bulldog fans from an Alumni of the 60's.

I’m curious why there were student off to he side

Easily one of the best years we had ever since i have been in this band

Nice to go back and see the classics. It was so freaking tough during my freshman year lol

Did the game end?

That first March they played….everyone in Longview for generations should know it by heart because this band has been using it non-stop for at least 50 years. Looking good as usual. But this band was much more disciplined and cleaner under John Kunkel in the 70s and 80s

Didn’t realize how big our band used to be 😮

should’ve got second it was already placed second in the prelims but they switched judges at the finals😔

Damn I didn’t know they had sight reading for marching too.

Awesome Band!

one of the best years from whitehouse, hopefully we do as good this year

i mean the music is good atleast

really good esp on the chromatic in them basses

Hey! I'm a member of the TJC apache band (trumpet), and I'd love to use this footage for a headcam video I'm making. The sound quality of your footage is excellent and I'd love to use it as the primary audio source for the video, as well as clips from the video itself!

Beautiful drill design!! wayne smith

Does anyone know what the names of all the marches they played?

That's nothing compared to their 70 and 80's bands

division 1... drum majors are impeccable and so is this band.... quality plus is an extreme March.... the trio in the flute section killed it.... superior rating 1...

Go Apaches! Love that we get to watch you up here in Chicago! Mr. McGowan's sisters❤

division 1

division 1

this is just spring hills 2014 state drill with different music 🤨

anyone know the name of the 2nd march they played?

Man that one saxophone is so good looking

Hi, I'm from Carthage. As a baritone, that melody shop trip was absolutely amazing. I met the baritones at all region band. Super good, except for the last part

What happened to them the use to pop the corners

Alignment may not be perfect, but this is easily the most interesting military style marching drill I've ever seen and this band definitely knows how to play a real march. Well done, Huntsville.

Wish I still had Mr sturdivant

Wow this performance makes me so excited to be in the band there next year! I’ve also played at this stadium before and it’s a great one to play in.
