Oak Mountain High School Band - The 2020 Halftime Show

For their 2020 Halftime Show, the Oak Mountain High School "Spirit of Cahaba" Marching Band performed "New York State of Mind". The show featured selections from "New York, New York", "Empire State of Mind", "New York State of Mind", and "Rhapsody in Blue".

I just had your video of JIG II pop up on my feed one day. I watched & was impressed. That lead me to come find your channel to watch more. I am a former band proud geek squad myself, playing 8th grade through 5th year of college. These young people are super talented! This shows the dedication & love of music they all have. I am an official fan from today on. I can't wait to see more of the fantastic work!

Thanks for watching! These students at Oak Mountain are really great. I have volunteered as videographer for the past 13 years and have captured some awesome performances. I would suggest the 2016 Halftime Show both wide angle and edited versions....my favorite of all.... I have a ton of videos coming so stay tuned!

That saxophonist is so sassy with his notes, in the jazz and the smooth rhythmic songs too. Really love it! The low brass (especially the trombone) also sounds astounding, the pandemic doesn’t beat music! Go Oak Mountain!

It wasn’t the show they planned but at least they got to have a show. Lots of schools didn’t. Thanks for your kind comments and for watching!

The reverb of the tenors during the drum break was really cool that stadium is huge

[@bwfitz]

I agree! Thanks for watching!

[@logankirkwood1758]

Y’all are so lucky being able to March! My band can do a field show but we do any sets. We just stand in a block

[@bwfitz]

The directors wrote the show to accommodate the distancing. We had one icon set. The “I Heart NY !” Image in Seg 1. Thanks for watching!!

I had played in a high-school halftime show in Florida. I played trombone.
