Thank you for uploading this. Tyler Garcia, you have no idea how happy you just made me. This will always be my favorite Pride show and personal performance. This brought back so many emotions. When I performed this show, I, we, every member, gave it their everything that night, performing the finals production of "Utopia," in Atlanta, Georgia. The video you just watched was all of us synchronized as one, pouring our hearts out through the only way we knew how, on that field. That beautiful ending...I remember thinking, as I played my trumpet softly and beautifully, wow, this is for you God, family, friends, and everyone watching. Even though tears dripped down my face, as I played the last note, I didn't move or break form. You could feel it in the air, that we arrived. The Pride of Broken Arrow has and will always be special, but there was something about that show, me, and everyone who played beside me, that doesn't compare to the past or the present Pride of Broken Arrow. That something is true love for one another. Yes, every Pride before and currently would say this has always been present, but I would say no. When I say every player you see in this video loved each other, I am not kidding. Only music like this can be created by immense love and care for one another. We didn't just save each other from darkness that year, but rather we created a harmony and home for all of us to know and remember for years to come.

Got to experience this last Saturday when we won nationals. Something I’d never give up for anything else.
