Came from a very small high school with a small marching band, and this song was our anthem. We took first place in two separate parade competitions one in Boston one in Hershey park
Played this in High School Marching Band. We performed in Disney World, marched a parade in Epcot Center. Still remember so much about that moment in time.
Does anyone know where to get the sheet music for this? Our band played in back in the 80's and 90's but we lost the music. Would be great to play again
On the same set of cassette tapes that this song and vera Cruz was on was a percussion feature called Russian Sailors Dance. Can you find it and upload it also? I love it and miss it
Played this at San Diego State -- we ARE the Marching AZTECS, after all! We DID bump the tempo a touch. And loving the copy of the Blue Devil uni the band in the pic is wearing (Lake Park HS I think)...I wore the real thing in 84.
@@samsignorelli . . . . I believe ? this recording is the University of Oklahoma Marching Band. . . . Jay Bocook dedicated this composition to the 1982 Oklahoma All Star Band. A high school honors marching band for the Oklahoma East vs. West football game. Both were held on the University of Oklahoma campus the last week of July. I am proud to say I was in the band under the direction of the late Gene Thrailkill. The man who brought the "Pride of Oklahoma" marching band to the national stage. R.I.P. Coach you and the All Star Band are missed. Such a shame this band was never revived by band directors or band organizations in Oklahoma. . . . . I admire the San Diego State Band for kicking up the tempo. Enjoyed it very much.
HOT DAWG!!!! Haven't heard this in decades... Manhattan Transfer 1979 to Marching Band... I remember this being played for us in band as an example... Them was Great Days... Thank You So Much!!!!
