A while back in one of my posts, "My Very First Drumline Cadence", I wrote a little bit about my experience in my first year of marching band in high school. For those that haven't seen it, I recommend you do, so you can keep up with this story!
Well the piece I talked about was Revolution & Triumph, a piece from Gary P. Gilroy. It was one of my favorite marching band pieces, and not because it was my very first show, but because of the patriotic message that it sends. I still somehow remember the drill for it. For those that don't know marching band terminology, the drill is the points of framing that the marching band makes in order to portray pictures and styles in the shows.
I wanted to show you one of our better videos of my first year marching band show. This video was made from one of my friends. It was during the Montclair State Marching Band Exhibition show. Many high school marching bands from around the area came to present their show. There were no competitions, no scores, no awards. This was all for the fun of musical sport. Luckily for us, our high school was the opening act. We played the Star Spangled Banner by heart, and then went immediately into the show.
I hope you enjoy my freshman year's show, Revolution & Triumph! Btw, I'm a trumpet player, so look for my section in the show!

Thanks! It wasn't too bad, considering that that year, half of the marching band were freshman xD
