[@brinleyburlison460]

Hey thanks dude! :)

[@Username-zz7dz]

Thank you. I'm almost the only 8th grader in pit and I absolutely love this song. Go Bluejays! My favorite part of the song is at 6:54 - 7:01!

[@lasercappymario4776]

This song is just absolutely amazing with that accelerando throughout for a few minutes!!!!! :D

[@josephalvarez1570]

This is a phenomenal marching show!!! I'm going to Ridgevue High School in Idaho this year, and it's a brand new school. For the first marching season for the Ridgevue Warhawks, we're playing this awesome show! I'm playing the xylophone, chimes, and cortales and couldn't be more excited. Our first competition is in Pasco, Washington on October 1st, and I'm looking forward to it!!! Awesome job on this show!!!!!!!!!!

Arm workouts and building up endurance!

I wish I was the one choosing my school's marching band shows. I'd pick either this one or Paranormal first. Two of my favorites, closely followed by Western Side Story.
