Well as a far as I am concerned this was the First Place band this year! I am a big Fralinger fan, but I truly think this was the best presentation of 2009. The opening was fantastic and the music and drill worked great together!

South Philly reminds me of Fralinger through the late eighties and early nineties. Always one small element away from winning. I truly feel that when they get it all to click they will run several wins in succesion.

i agree. that castle looks strikingly familiar with quaker's castle from the viking theme lol

[@tuc08307]

i agree. quaker needs their castle back lol. it looks exactly the same as the castle they used in 2007.

I understand what you are trying to say,that S.Philly ripped off Fralinger. But let's be honest everybody borrows from everybody else every year. Obviously Fralinger has been setting and then raising the bar every year, but nobody and I mean nobody is coming up new and original themes anymore. It's hard not to be successful when you are recreating an old theme and making adjustments. I posted a congraulatory response on the Fralinger video and I stick by my statement! Change is coming!
