Nov 17, 2008 - Well... my high school band must play better than a college band then. How many members do they have? assuming there's about 70-80 in the left pokéball, if it's equal then there should be anywhere from (assuming 20 flag corps) 160 to 180 people in it. The high-school band in question has about 94. Not meant to be negative, but what's true is true.

Nov 23, 2008 - wow that was hilarious

bruinman911 Says:

Nov 23, 2008 - Well...as far as concept goes, I guess this was FINE. But Cal Band once again accomplishes its usual feat of making simple drill look plain FILTHY, and making so-so music sound DISGUSTING. Articulation? "Not Together" doesn't even begin to describe. Tone Quality? My high school band did better. Intonation? Listen to ANY of the isolated trumpet sounds. DEATH in musical form. How about BASICS? Maybe fewer WRONG NOTES? wow. BASIC BASIC BASIC! Entertaining for the Average Joe. Absolutely atrocious.

Nov 23, 2008 - By the way, REAL bands roll to prevent body bounce.

samsaphone Says:

Nov 23, 2008 - As a Bruin and an ex-marching band member, your band snobbery is infuriating. Also, is a college band dedicated to being the knife's edge of musicianship or providing entertainment of thousands of fans drunk on alcohol and/or endorphins? Cal's lack of skill and general inferiority notwithstanding, you're making a mountain out of a molehill. As for the other commentators, let the unwashed (unmusical) proletariat have their fun. It was an interesting concept.

samsaphone Says:

Nov 23, 2008 - Again, I approve your passion for what you call 'REAL band', and it's always nice to see the Solid Gold Sound laying down a solid gold standard for college bands everywhere. But, in all honesty--I think you've got your priorities wrong. Berkeley, UCLA, and the rest aren't internationally respected universities because of their marching bands or sports programs. Look at the Ivies--all of them have scatter bands.

bruinman911 Says:

Nov 23, 2008 - And no. I do not have my priorities wrong. I go to my school for the sole purpose of advancing my knowledge and pursuing a career in medicine. I joined my band because I love music and because the marching band experience is truly something to behold. I love my school. I love my band. I respect true musicianship and execution. The show was entertaining. I will give you that. But isn't band about more than that? Cal is a great place, no lie. But I said no for a reason.

samsaphone Says:

Nov 23, 2008 - All right.

Nov 26, 2008 - cover up ur mistakes i see how it is

meushi Says:

Nov 26, 2008 - Could've sounded better in my opinion (then again, recording might not be the best) But it's fun to watch and hear, and definitely brings out the geek in me, which is what marching band is supposed to be about.
