I want to go back and do this show again.

This was the only year I was in WCU's marching band. I come back this video to relive it every so often. I can still track my place along the field while watching this. Thanks for uploading. =P

truly the BADDEST BAND IN THE LAND

Who does the arrangements now?

go cats!

opening notes are snare beats? wish i couldve saw this live

magnificent it takes a lot of time and effort.

all of there shows are amazing im biased towards the 2010 thru 2012 shows tho since im in them on trumpet, butters "replacement" does awesome on the 2012 show

this was my treat for hackfest 2010 my freshman year haha

Only year I was ever able to go to WCU and I was in this. Gosh I miss it. Amazing times.

Goog

Good good

You're not the best damn band in the land, don't try to steal Ohio State's style.

Lol no puns intended on that one!

I cant wait to be part of this band next semester!

Love the Pride of the Mountains Marching Band!!! Yeah - that's TALENT, folks!

I was there. Bearden High Trumpet Line all day. Lol our trumpets including me had shirts that said" dont try to copy our swagger". Our swagger died during this.

Can't tell what the patterns they are making from my phone... but I wish we could've played daft punk when I was in marching band

@lacey238 Awesome! haha

@GDawg148 haha, i was there as well, Forestview! lol

@effectguitarist Yeah. well im still in high school i have 2 more years left. but yeah i will most deffianantly stick with marching band. and im in between nc state and WCU when i graduate. but yeah they were amazing in Enka.

FANTASTIC. It is so refreshing to know that there is still a college marching band in this country that cares about things such as tone quality, musicality, intonation, and all the key elements of true music while still managing to be wildly entertaining. Way to go Western. SO excited to see you guys live on Saturday!

I was there! North Gaston High School!

@lacey238 just come see a home football game its worth the trip and if you are like me then I suggest joining the band if you choose to come out to WCU its a great school. But if not make sure you stick to marching if your college offers it. Trust me its worth it.

Im a student at western and they shake the dorm building I live in and we are pretty far from them it gives me chills each time I watch this band.

@dzinnc If you look up WCU at NFL im pretty sure there is a vid titled that \

@cheath432 its also more difficult.

@still06doll Yeah, and we just finished the show that Wednesday, so we had Friday to clean it. We even added more visuals to the opener Monday. We're going through our cleaning now, so we'll slowly but surely make it perfect. Haha. Thanks for the compliments though. We play for the bands so they can see hat band doesn't drop off after high school, it only gets better :)
