I wish I was on that colorguard JUST because they did Ludo....

[@Melanie62389]

I freaking love Ludo! And marching band! This is heaven! Yeah trumpets!

[@Seagazer81892]

If we performed this for marching band... Can't even begin to think of the awesomeness! WOW!

[@SatelliteAlice]

This is awesome! I wish I could have played Ludo music when I was in marching band.

[@lei2b3]

i manage to march that year, wont say what iwas but the band is getting alot better than before plus they got a new drum instructor, whose also the director of the vegas vanguard, if anyone lives vegas and still wants to march after high school try out for the band, u dont have to go to unlv to march for them and they take walk-ons how cool is that.

[@brechelt1]

Thanks, man - one of the more memorable solo's I've played. All thanks to Rob.

[@jennadrums]

I have had so many dreams about this exact thing!

[@skf0053]

dude ludo cover! kick ass. nicely done. props to whoever came up with that idea!

[@sealion455]

amazing job. I am truly amazed.

[@ErinTheDon]

Whew, gotta love those trumpets. :D

[@rebelbandman]

man, I swear, we can match up with any college band talent wise. if we could just add 100 people to the band we would be one of the best bands in America.

[@box3229]

I’m in the unlv band this year, there’s now 120+ people in the band.

[@Lewitty]

This is awesome!!!!

[@howefow]

@brecfhelt this was at the Bands of America competition. UNLV performed in exhibition.

[@RDkracker]

My God, this is the most amazing thing I've ever seen!!!

[@sanityXvacancy]

They're not together the whole time but the fact that they did it is still really cool. :)

[@melizlowe]

thats awesome!!

[@kevin1355]

Wow, that was awesome

[@tvkid84]

OMG THIS IS AWESOME!!

[@brechelt1]

@iwilldie0 This was at a game. We don't do competition. But, I think this was recorded before kickoff at rehearsal.... it's been a while, so I don't remember exactly when, but we only go on the field on game day.

[@foehunter123]

SO EPIC!!!!

[@snapshotdreams]

give them some credit- it's a marching band performance. they had to up the tempo and shorten it to keep the audience entertained and happy during the football game. of course it doesn't do full justice, it's a rock opera that's suddenly not rock nor opera. but it is an honor either way and kudos to the director for allowing it, and modifying it to work for them!

[@Segismundo101]

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Cool

[@hollydapple]

After listening to his several times, I can imagine the lyrics along to this. :3

[@Marvintherobot]

amazing! Brandon is gonna love this...

[@emericagirl24]

Nice song choice!!

[@Italianchefsunshine]

That is soo amazing! Oh my goodness. It brought tears to my eyes. haha This my, friends, is TRULY epic.

[@brechelt1]

Thanks, man!! I am the trumpet section leader, and we have a lot of pride in what we do. This year we are 100x's better... thanks, again!!

[@camocowz]

that would be so cool. I would love to do a Ludo broken bride show. now if only I could get my band director to listen to someone else's opinion other thank his own...

[@howefow]

drum parts were damn cool. I like how they started rocking out at one point. Was that a 12/8 groove in there? Tough stuff guys! Props

[@cool3929]

This is pretty sweet.

[@bluinyourshoes]

epic......EPIC!!!!

[@SaintJaded]

Towards the end of the first Minute it gets good.

[@nigelthebutler]

this sounds like it would be the intro music for a broken bride film

[@molokosynthemesc89]

Yeah, there was some 12/8 in there. . . Yes, this was as fun to play and march as it looks :D

[@brechelt1]

@howefow Yeah, I forgot. You would think I'd remember... after all, people were clapping, which means they realized we were on the field, plus there were more than 20 people in the stands, which is unheard of at a UNLV football game...lol

[@rustash]

Am i the only one having trouble finding these re-issues in stores near me?

[@zombiekids19]

nice snare drum lines

[@zombiekids19]

3 people quit middle school band and joined another sport marching band is a sport!!!!

[@theoffensivesatyr7859]

Yes! That's where I'm gonna go when I get older!

[@Chizel852]

@hollydapple While listening to it for the first time I could hear the lyrics going along with it. This arrangement was rather well done!

[@leeleewolfisaduck]

I'm going to have to talk to my marching band director about this...

[@xsavagedrummerx]

haha our high school band was supposed to play that this year but we couldnt afford the show

[@rawrrsucka]

This is a very cool, yet I can't help but be distracted by how much better and more awesome it would be if RCC were to perform this in a show. Not sure Gary would go for it, though.

[@shamekachantel1]

Why Don't They Have Guard Anymore ?

[@Kandragonicus]

That was interesting, to say the least. I had chills. And then my chills had chills. Who got chilly themselves, and then had to eat chili to get rid of their chilliness.

[@Skill_Issue92]

wow to fast guys but you probaly had like a time limet but yeah amazing 5 stars

[@howefow]

who wrote the drum book?

[@OmegaEclipse18]

Noice.

[@brechelt1]

KZbin "Spammed" this comment, Rob. You may need to put it in again. I clicked on "Not Spam," but I don't know if that fixed it.

[@MeganKimberling]

its nice to see a band that doesnt park and bark, however, not incredibly impressed, esp the trumpets...decent, but def sound like marching band players. love the idea of the ludo show, def awesome.

[@brechelt1]

Yeah, I think its much easier to hold those high A's at a fast tempo... otherwise I would STILL be feeling this show.

[@BoboTheBarbarian]

I can definitely appreciate the idea of a Broken Bride marching show, this is... to say the least, very poorly executed. This is altered to the point of sounding like a different song.

[@Nyomioo]

(commenting on a six year old comment, smooooth, me) realtalk i didnt think the music part was bad! it was, um... man the marching got rough. a lot.

[@MsMerb96]

@leeleewolfisaduck my marching band is doing a broken bride show next season. :D be jealous.

[@thelivelikejack]

I can't fathom why the colorguard would use swing flags for the majority of the song....and only half tosses when they picked up actual flags....and were not clean at all. Get it together people. The band sounded good, though.

[@Adowowski]

@iwilldie0 They could of still played it at a game.

[@ashtonbuck5330]

I love the concept of it all and the music is great, but their lines and form need work.

[@benwolf13]

haha yeah thats the school i go to

[@ludolover1]

it would be soo cool if they spelled out Ludo... just saying....

[@strangeperson11]

The colorguard sucks! Which is why this year they were cut from the program and replaced with dancers :]

[@FallOutBoy24x]

the color guard disappointed me. epic fail
