I marched all through high school and college, DCI and WGI, and have taught at each of those levels. This is honestly one of the best shows I have ever seen at any level; I watch it about once a week. Thanks for the upload. I hadn't seen the show down front yet.
former brass tech, (honestly would like to do it again but a lot of my skills are gone after a decade away) but yes I agree, the timing windows are insanely tight, and the formation locks are top-notch. tone quality is DCI level. Seriously if there was the best show of all time list this would be near the top if not at the top.
@@xeratube Tough to say. I love both those shows so much. I wish Hebron would've made it to Grand Nationals the past two years. I'd like to know which show would've ranked higher in the eyes and ears of the judges.
@@xeratubeAs the principal clarinet player from the Area Contest, Super Regional, and State Contest in the 2022 season, I say that the difficulty of Odyssey FM is harder than PENstriped in most ways, but by design (and my own personal experience) PENstriped is the better show in both the effect of the musical selections, and the concept. I personally enjoyed PENstriped exponentially more in just about every sense, especially with how trash our UIL State Contest runs were. This is all just my opinion though, so take it with a grain of salt.
This was better than the UIL Finals run. Thanks for capturing it! EDIT: In particular, the flugelhorn solo was better. Soprano Sax wasn't quite as good (a little pitchy on the last note of the solo -- I think Aayan would agree.) Piccolo solo and alto trombone solo were on-point all year long. Super consistent. The sax quartet is also completely bonkers -- those guys played out of their minds every time.
Holy Crap! Now Listening to the soloist between movements this show is unbelievable! You can’t hear all the individual solo work done in so many other videos on the internet. Breath taking!
Tarpon should take note. If you’re going to have a lot of props on the field, this is how you do it. Keep the main focus of the performers and not the ginormous props.
