It's like I went back to m junior and senior year at Cameron County High School in Emporoum, Pa. and raided.my band directors office so I can listen to certain recordings 87 through 89.
My high school marching band has this as it's first song in a set for the half time show. I'm in the color guard and we just got finished learning the routine but not positions on the field. I'm so excited because it sounds amazing and I know we're going to wow people away.
Oh cool! Well I won't say my high school name but idk. My name is Anna, is yours Steffeny? Or Steffany? I don't have someone named that in my guard but it's a huge coincidence anyways. Nice!
Holy crap. Our band is doing this. Our theme is Ray Charles. We start off with What'd I Say, then Hit the road jack, then Let the good times roll, and last is Georgia on my mind. Our crowd will love this song. 😁😄😄
Our marching band is doing a Ray Charles show this year our first song is America the Beautiful/Hallelujah I Love Her So, then Hit the Road Jack, then Georgia on my Mind, then Let the Good Times Roll. I hope the audience will love it!
Is that Reedley High Marching and Dancing Band from California? I was in the band all 4 years of high school. We had the same arrangement. We didn't play typical march music and the reason why was Burl Walter, the head instructor, HATED marching season. About two minutes in the kicksteps started.
Bob Kidd - The University of Oklahoma Marching Band (Pride of Oklahoma), of which I was a member when this recording took place. Yes, we did many of Jenson recordings back then.
This recording was made by Northeast Louisiana University (now known as Louisiana-Monroe). Jensen switched off between NLU and the University of Oklahoma to do their live recordings during the early 80's...
Hal Leonard Publications (originally these were Jenson arrangements which Hal Leonard bought out). They have a website. I believe this version is the "Limited Edition Series" Marching Band (originally published 1983). Looks like it's about $60.
There were 2 other songs recorded by Jensen publications that I can't remember the name to and can't find. One starts off with the drum major giving count in the background you can barley hear him and the begins with a short drumline intro followed by maybe two trumpet soloists and then the band comes in with an amazing song. The other begins with very quick xylophone intro then the band comes in behind. I know that's probably not the best description but if anyone can tell me the name of either song I'd appreciate it
