Broken Arrow Pride 2012 

I agree. I was originally rooting for Carmel to win (hint: I'm from Indiana) but then I saw this video and well, they deserved to win. This is now one of my favorite high school shows of all time.

I'm from American Fork Marching band, (Utah) we are the best 5A band in the state...but man...you guys freaking rock!!! GO BROKEN ARROW!!!!!!!!

Broken Arrow, yet again you amazed me. Coming from a small non competitive band (even though I want to be in a competitive band), I eat my heart when I see bands like this. I wish I was in a band with so much dedication and respect. A job well done. You guys should all be very proud of yourselvs! Go BA!!!

The guard! Such precision at the first hit! Wow. Truly the best in the nation!

This was an awesome show at grand nationals, you all are really amazing perrformers!! -Tarpon Springs Mellophone

That flute solo 😍

I'm glad I got to see this show at Pasadena Bandfest. If Bandfest were a competition, they would have easily won. Best show I've ever seen, and I've seen many of them.

my brother is in the pit i cried when he came home from indianapolis!!!!!!! he did so good it was a bummer that they didnt win. CURSES ON JUDGE 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That hit.....gets me everytime and i performed it all season....

The color guard is amazing!! You guys looked amazing and gave me chills over how great you all looked!!-PCN Color Guard

They don't make an award big enough for this performance. Just saw this at bandfest 2012 in Pasadena. Wow. Stadium was virtually silent.

I was so mad they didn't win. 10:48 literally gave me chills.

Oh and also, good luck @ the rose parade.....we did it this year it was a blast!!! and don't be nervous, you'll do great!!!

I wanted to see this show badly, but my group was on after them so we didn't have a chance. Looks awesome.

my first time seeing this band and wow. for a few moments i thought i was watching DCI

Had Music Performance Individual judge (aka Music 1 or MPI) not screwed them over, they would have one. The 2 music scores show 2 totally different shows, Music 1 was a 17.50 and music 2 was a 19.40. Crazy.

Amazing visual. Love this highschool!!!! Should have won first, they deserved it.

Loveeeeee love love the crescendo in the beginning. Amazing, you guys should have won first.

I know of a band that's either slightly bigger or about the same size as this one. The color guard is a lot bigger than this as well. No one ever records their shows though. :( But this is still one of my favorite marching shows of all time.

Broken arrow and Tarpon were my favorite!

If I had a dollar for every amazing thing that this band does, I would be a millionaire

lol. band geek mode. i screamed "NO RUNNING IN UNIFORM!!!!!!!!!" at my computer and then i was like "Wait....that's part of their show o-o"

Music 1 (MPI) placed them 5th.

ahh ok thank you

how can the put together a complicated show like this with also being a track team? how is it possible with such little time?

Such a great show too bad they didn't win

I bet no one noticed the bass clarinet in the front throwing a mysterious object into the crowd at 11:10

can someone PLZ tell me the music they used in their show? its just amazing!

Haha! Look at the wind player slide to 2 inside the Side 2 45 at 6:52

Medea is great :)

The reason they didn't win is because at the beginning they did the most amazing hit in any marching band show, but because it was so amazing it made the rest of the show boring musically. nothing in the rest of there show musically compared to that hit in the beginning. As apposed to Carmel who consistently gave an interesting musical performance throughout there show. plus they were so focused on setting there show around there props that the drill wasn't as exciting as Carmels.

Haha, yeah. I see your point. But I do think Carmel deserved to win. Their show was first and foremost about the music---paired with a very well-executed visual package and general effect. BA puts effect first, in my opinion, and this year it wasn't quite enough. It's gotta be about the music first.

Whats the show about

Can someone PLEASE tell me what plz means?

i got tingles while i watched this but i didnt with carmels

What happened with the music judge?

Wow... amazing how much they improved balance between sections in a week before BOA. This performance was "sloppy". And notice I say sloppy in quotes... but compared to their astounding BOA performance, this sounds a little off-kilter.

Should have won.

it means please....

no weapons in the guard???

why no tenors?!?

In boa I mean

Believe me they're alot of blacks Latinos and Asians

Hmm, this show seems very familiar....

Wow...I don't think that it should be about placements, just entertaining the crowd and giving everyone that came a good time

They should have won Nationals. Don't get me wrong, Carmel was great, but Broken Arrow was better. Dang you music judge 1. WHY!??!? Lol.
