This Oak Mountain show was awarded “most entertaining” out of all bands competing at the Northeast Alabama Marching Invitational in Albertville, Alabama, on October 13, 2018. Kudos to the directors for arranging the music and designing the drill/choreography themselves, and kudos to the students for putting on the performance of a lifetime.

I was at MidSouth and watched you guys. I was blown away. You definitely deserved more awards than what you got.

Thank you for your kind words! I am just a retired band parent who appreciates the hard work and effort to put a great show on the field. All credit to the directors and students and boosters who made this real. I was just able to capture and share it with the world. I do encourage you to keep improving and you will be awesome. I am happy that these videos may have inspired you to keep going! I have a lot of satisfaction knowing that I have contributed in some way. Thanks again!

I have two recordings of this show on my phone because it was too good to not record it the second time I saw it too

[@gonegonegoneuntilnexttime]

Jig 2 coming out soon? 17-18?

[@PinheaDipshit]

This show was fun, I just wish I could find a recording of the version with don’t stop believing instead of dream on

[@bwfitz]

I heard that song was in the earlier versions. I only recorded the competition that year. Not sure who would have that earlier stuff. Thanks for watching!

[@bwfitz]

Monko Games like all great bands the Spirit of Cahaba Marching Band puts in a lot of time in rehearsals! Thanks for watching and please consider subscribing!

[@PinheaDipshit]

Practices were all week after school 3-5:30 excluding Wednesday and Friday. Band camp was about 2-3 weeks at the end of July beginning of August.

I thought this was a Military Marching Band but it isn't but great performance

[@miner_splash995]

6:07 IS THAT JUMP BY VAN HALEN?

You are correct! Thanks for watching!

[@chickenbiscuit958]

9:26 - 9:41 is my favorite part

[@m.sepich]

Honestly... This is better than Crown's "Rach Star".

[@1subcriberwithoutavideo230]

Convert to military style

[@BrickLogicStudios]

Saw it twice in person... But we beat y'all in percussion at competition

[@itssclue9628]

[@jaydon8742]

What school are you?

[@1990Tide]

jaydon frederickson Huskies I assume.

[@jaydon8742]

Tide 1990 Washington huskies

[@thomxsavage2948]

BrickLogicStudios fear the pack :D

[@EmeraldPlaysThings]

Don’t get me wrong, this is a good band. I just don’t get the fact that they are all in the mindset of having a clean show. Just standing there in the opening set people are wobbling around and not standing still.

[@horizon2288]

There's always those few that take band as just another curricular activity so you are probably right.Less commitment from those people
