WCU 2012 - "This Is How We Roll" at BOA Grand National Semi-Finals

The Western Carolina University Pride of the Mountain marching band performing in exhibition their show "This Is How We Roll" at the 2012 BOA Grand National Semi-Finals!! Such an awesome show and SO LOUD!!!!! (This video does no justice for how loud this hornline actually was!!)

[@WCUmetalhead]

We really appreciate it! It was awesome being able to share the experience with ya'll :D

I remember performing the James Brown show back in 1998 at Indy. Lots of memories were had.

[@Vespolar]

I love this band, this video makes me miss it already... only 8 months till i get to go back to it :)

[@postalpercy]

once a band Mom, Always a band Mom!!!! My daughter was in the 08-09 band! LOVE this band!!

[@jeffk1482]

Holy shit - they're incredible! Of all the bands and drum corps I've ever seen or marched with...this is just WOW. Talk about a "next level" show?!?!

[@TrumpetLSU]

Wow! What a great experience, seeing and hearing this killing band. I marched at ECU as an undergrad, and witnessed the Tiger Band at LSU as a grad student.... not anywhere close to this. I remember the 1st time I saw the Pride of the Mountains in 2003. They were great then, but have definitely come a long way. No longer a big and dirty look, much cleaner and polished in visual design and overall marching throughout the ensemble to go with their unmatchable, explosive sounds! Go WCU!!!!!

[@gadrummer1904]

You're very welcome!! It was an incredible show that I'm still impressed by! They were AWESOME!!

[@zoom28715]

Thank you so much for posting this! I had to stay back, and wouldn't have otherwise been able to see it. Means so much for me a Proud Pride Band Mom!

[@KevinGamin]

By the way, did anybody catch how they had "Firework"s during the 1812?
Genius.

[@ncpyro1799]

These guys are sick, my drum instructor played in the drumline in this, I give these guys 10/10!

[@bandnerd4life33]

Thank you so much for posting this. I am a member of the band, and this video is better than the DVD I bought.

[@kirkhenry2716]

WCU is headed back to BOA for exhibition performance again this year (2015). Don't know if you caught last years show, but thought it was awesome too. In the 2014 show they had over 500 marching and their first note seemed like it almost took your breathe away. I don't think I've ever heard sound that big

[@gadrummer1904]

You're welcome!! I'm glad it turned out so well!! You guys were amazing!!

[@alxlll34]

I can't wait to perform with them later this year!

[@prodigydrummer]

Thanks for the upload, I'll never forget this stellar performance. So much fun!!!

[@hanks2567000]

thank you for this..my son, Sawyer plays drumset on the tower

[@falloutmind]

just that one bar of 1812 causes a bandgasam for me and my whole tuba section

[@gadrummer1904]

Their drumline was awesome!! Especially that exposed snare roll at 8:48!! And how about their front ensemble?! Being a front ensemble guy myself, I was highly impressed!! So many notes!! But the drumline as a whole was incredible!!

[@KFox210]

They are awsome

[@MaxHolleyBC]

My band director is the beat boxer at 6:07

[@bandmanusetabe]

Maybe the best college band in the south. (or north)

[@Ausar_Maat]

i liked this! coming from a guy who did high step marching

[@mrlarry1975]

I was unsure how somebody could merge pop music. But you did...

[@marchingtubaboy]

you don't see many good college marching bands. The only other one i've seen that can compare is West Chester University

[@TheGrossFisherman]

What did you think of the drumline??

[@alexgaeckle1540]

Anyone know the name of the song after the drum feature?

[@Dr_E_Yekley]

Did these guys make finals?

[@Dr_E_Yekley]

Oof I didn't realize this was a college marching band

[@audicalivemusic]

Lolz, "Beyoncee."
