Is Hebron HS the GOAT of marching band?! | Hebron 2019 | FUNLINER REACTS

[@vidalrodriguez2001]

Their 2019 show is so so so underrated, probably one of their best blends of sound in regards to sweetness, power and variety, and their rep is fantastic in this show! Their 2022 show also deserves a watch as well

[@Jeremattress]

You'd be equally impressed with pretty much any Hebron show since 2015 or so. They usually attempt some of the hardest music each year.

I’m so glad you enjoyed the show! I was apart of this program from 2019-2023 and this was my freshman year show. I always say that if I could go back and be apart of any show, I would choose this one. This show was so special and I was so excited to see this pop up on my feed :)

[@user-ml2re8ek7b]

@@joshchambers9922 ok, look at what happened to Reagan in 2021. They lost several points between San Antonio and GN finals. What did they place? 9th? It was basically the same concept. There certainly wasn't a 7 point difference in quality between 2019 and 2021. Reagan 2021 was not an all time great show. In my view it would have placed 5th at best in 2019 with a 95 or lower. The visual book was far to simple to win GN.

hebron does the best job out of any band with dynamic contrast in my opinion, I love hearing more mezzo dynamics rather than just loud or nothing, no in between - amazing contrast when compared to other top groups

Also adding another vote for 2023 Tarpon Springs. I saw that show live and it was as phenomenal as it was entertaining and enjoyable. So many cool and innovative visuals. If you haven't watched 2023 Tarpon, go find it now.

My granddaughter is a sophomore this year at Hebron. They start practice in the summer at 6:30am until 9pm. Even after school starts, it's early 6:30am for practice.

As good as it was, this show came in 3rd after that performance at Grand Nats. The winning show was Vandegrift’s “Aria, Queen of the Night”. And although that show won Grand Nats, it was beaten that same year by Ronald Reagan’s “Secret World”.

Avon 2010 is what I’d consider to be the greatest show of all time.

Plus their indoor winds shows are amazing. 2022 they got a 99.175 and is probably the cleanest and most difficult marching any high school has ever done

Some of my favorite shows of all time are: Vandegrift 2023: Highest scoring show besides grand nats shows Tarpon Springs 2023: One of the coolest shows from an electronics perspective ever IMO, just straight up a cool and insanely engaging show Broken Arrow 2021: Highest Scoring show of all time, just crazy good design and performance Vandegrift Band 2021: This show has my favorite ballad of all time, I get why it didn’t win, but it often gets (albeit rightfully) overshadowed by Hebron 2021, but it’s so good. Stuff that other people have said is also really good. There’s just so much good high school band

[@blobbler8940]

Avon 2010 is a must! Also, Nishihara (from Japan) is a must watch even though it's not BOA, namely the 2000-2001 show

[@patrickkaye9734]

I mentioned some already, but here's one that's probably older than most of your viewers. Not a championship contender but took the activity by storm in 2002! The school was only about 3 years old, and the band was still green, but they made finals and finished 11th: Ronald Reagan, "The Journey Within." Featured Cirque du Soleil music, but not to be confused with their 2001 show, which also featured Cirque du Soleil music. 2002 was when they stepped onto the grand stage for the first time, and people went absolutely crazy for them! Not only Cirque music, but also Cirque-like costumes, color, and a simple, cheesy but amazing visual effect the blew minds. And there's nothing like seeing the excitement in the faces and in the performances of up-and-coming kids, who are in the limelight for the first time and having a blast! I figure you and your viewers probably aren't too interested in "older" material, but 2002 Reagan is definitely worth checking out.

[@mastertrumpet101]

totally agree on the Drumline. I'm so spoiled by SoCal Drumline but their drumline was pretty solid. Smaller than I expected for the size of the band as well. Hebron band is next level though. They have so many DCI sounding moments.

[@johnnychikko3800]

As a Texas fan I agree with you 💯! Thought experiment: An All HS summer band DCI World Class program. Texas only Top brass players, Indianas Top guard members and SoCal top Drum-line players! Whattttttt!!!!!!
