Vanilla Funk has the "celebratory" status but I am sure he would be the first to argue that this group of young people are a very talented and hard-working. I so admire what they and their teachers have achieved. They are the best of America and a ray of hope when we think of the wretched politicians and media in Washington
I wish I went to this high School I was robbed of my high school experience. I was in a mostly all white military style marching band when I was in high school. Man I'm so jealous. I feel I would have been very comfortable in this band. My marching band experience was decent but when you're the only black flute player it can be very uncomfortable.
I have been watching the JD band tapes and I am amazed. I love this style. For the DMs, what determines who leads the band - the oldest graduate or is there a rotation? I am curious to know what their studies are in their schools.
Have there been any pushed to change the name of the school? Like these talented young black kids going to a school with the same name of the president of the confederacy 😬
@@sloanjiko4797 Sure, however we name schools in order to honor people. How does it show anyone that we've learned anything to be honoring a pro slavery traitor?
@@KillaKevProd In all the videos I’ve only seen the band a few times and only seen them play once. The videos center on the drum majors and auxiliary. Go check your own videos and tell me I’m wrong.
I cant be the only one who thinks the “dancer girls” are lackluster. The barely have the energy of the band and drum line . From the way they stand to the way they move. Some of them just walked straight through
Alumni Band.....Some may not have continued in College or they may not have decided to go the collegiate route. Also, remember, with the pandemic, bands didn't have a chance to rehearse and perform. These young people are just like some of us; gained just a little weight during the lockdown and now have to get back in shape (Some people, not all).
@2021 I’m a retired Drum Section Leader from the Spirit of Atlanta Drum and Bugle Corps. I feel good constructive criticism will make you better! My profiles has nothing to do with my past experiences or what I’m doing now! I’m currently a producer/professional DJ, when I’m not in the studio, I enjoy biking and riding my 2021 Honda Gold Wing! I get plenty of cardio and feel real good! 😉
