Awesome! I was in the Poway Marching Band at the time... but went to UCLA and played in the trumpet section with Dan the Man. Nice to read he's a band director now. Actually, the UCLA Band director, Gordon Henderson, wrote our drill and I think arranged Poway's music. We played Firedance shortly after this. Sweet memories. Thanks.

This was in 1989 when you were like 4. Dude, this rocked every band in the US back then. Times have changed but UCLA is by far the best band on the West Coast.

Oh, man, that was such a fun performance! After getting golf-clapped by the Rose Bowl crowd all season, it was nice to have a crowd that would cheer for us! My freshman year.

Watch the Latin show from Spirit of Northwestern. They place an awesome version of Firedance. This school only has 6,000 on campus yet they march 300 or more. Good program.
