I'd have to go with The Rock from 2002

Frontiers, because it made me warm inside (marching it in the freezing rain over and over and over will do that!), and the Rock is a close second.

Superman/Star Wars '91

Big question.

Superman/Star Wars ranks up there as does the hick show from that year (Cornfed Concerto, Rocky Top et al).

My favorite would have to be the christian rock show from 1989. It was the first night game at the Doyt and the joint was PACKED. It was very good music arrangement-wise, but the drill by Brian Nutting was excellent.

Got to give that one to Bohemian Rhapsody (mostly because of special beat turdledo cadence done by euphs and tenors). Kickin Brass is a clos second.

I gotta go with The Rock as well. That show was amazing.

Ya know, I have a video of that on my computer somewhere (my dad shot it). I'll have to take a look for it. If I find it, I'll toss it on Youtube.

Yeah Chase, let me know. That'd be sweet!

It seems like the FMB is the only band you can't find any good footage of on youtube.

The Rock was cool. However I do think my favorite was Frontiers. Bohemian is another good one though.

Favorite to PERFORM, for me anyways would have to be Kickin' Brass, although I am a bit biased. As far as how I would rank all the shows I marched based on music, drill, and entertainment value, I would have to say Frontiers had the best combination of the 3, but Kickin' Brass I think was one of the most entertaining shows we've done in a while. It just sacrificed good drill for entertainment.

Bohemian was awesome...not to mention the America show we put on in '04.

i remember watching that show. That was my freshman year, i didn't do marching band that year. But I stayed in the stands for every show and wished i would of done it. So the following year I did do marching band.

Anyways, I think my favorite show would of been Frontiers. It was a great show. Kickin Brass is up there too. Had alot of fun with that

i hear america singing has a special place in my heart because it was sept. 11th, it was my first show in the FMB, and it was just an overall amazing show...with men's chorus and a standing ovation and everything..it was REALLY cool. so that's definitely up there, but i also think Kickin' Brass from this year was prolly a close 2nd if not a tied 1st.

Go about 3 minutes into that video, and you see a bit of the Harry Potter show along with some presumably interesting singing and commentary... in French. The rest of the video is crap though, don't waste your time.
