Sometimes I wish I was born 40 minutes west to be in carmel, but there is a charm being in my band, Its just boring since we are a track band, and our music is easy. I am in the Anderson marching Highlanders. All we are known for are wearing quilts and we got bagpipes, so thats pretty cool.
We went against Reagan our second foot ball game, it's nice to see their show progress so far. That was my first time seeing such a big band, since I'm from Tom c clark hs
My daughter is in color guard from a Russell Springs KY. It's a small 3A band that got 4th in state this year and did amazing. When they went this year to BOA in St Louis and she saw Broken Arrow it was like she met celebrities. They we bigger than life to her. They was everything our color guard wanted to be and they was amazing. The high school I went to was the county next to Russell Springs and it's the Adair county high school and for anybody in BOA in the 80's and 90's knows that we were unstoppable. We had over 20 straight BOA championship's and state. Now to see Russell county going to state and place 4th this year and 3rd last year with 47% of the band first years it's going to be exciting for the next 5 years and hopefully longer.
Wow, hats off to AVON this year! Im from Texas and in my opinion, AVON blew everyone out of the water! It was hard to describe the emotion I felt when I saw this years performance! It's one of your best ever on record ! I can listen to it over and over! CONGRATS!!!
I got to admit these bands are very impressive 💪👌👍 I miss going to band competitions people don't realize how fun they are! Your watching your CHILD and there hard work an how proud you are an the kids may be silly when they get together in the stands but just watch the bond they have it's a real life experience have you told your child how proud you was of them if they won or lost just be there going to the school to pick them up after a competition an blowing your horns you haven't lived til you did until you become the band parent 😂 try it sometime and see what happens you won't regret it!
Here's a crazy thought...Hebron's Battery, Brass and Guard form a Drum Corps and compete in DCI over the summer....I think they would do well in Open class, and maybe scare a few Corps in World Class....too crazy??
I made a video called "2022 Top 10 Underrated bands of the year". I mean I don't really know if you classify the bands I included as small, but they are definitely less talked about.
I got to go to BOA grand nationals this year and it was an amazing experience. Personally my favorite was Tarpon Springs but I got to see all of these bands live and there was just something special about tarpon in person compared to when I re-watched it on video. (I recorded the box 5 video of the performance, Box 5 is the official marching band streaming/recording service)
Honestly being a Pinellas Kid(county where tarpon is) I find all of they’re stuff not super amazing…but maybe that’s just because they get all the glory in our county…
I am also an Oklahoma kid and we always get destroyed by Broken Arrow(Show was "over the edge") every year at state and come close to Mustang(show was "Prom")
My favorite band was Broken Arrow. What’s wack is they were the first band I saw when I went into the stadium during prelims. All of these high schools were insane and put my college band visually to shame.
i love tarpon, i’m in the same county as them and we attend their competition every year, i also have multiple friends there, and they never seize to amaze
Yeah they are awesome. I got the privilege to see them live at Boa Orlando for their victory run. Before we saw it we were salty that they swept as they usually do. After we saw everybody left and said "Yeah that makes sense" lol
I got to go to grand nationals this year and it was a fun experience I’m from bassett va and we’re a 2a there but we’ve made semis plenty of times and even won states this year. If we don’t win states we are 10ths of a point behind in 2nd Idk what my favorite band was but I think there were so many good ones I like mg Johnson a lot too and we’re close with the directors of the band
These kids are so impressive, miss my days of marching band. But my question is, how are these bands so large! How big are these schools? We had like 40 members in our band. I’d like to see a video of your top small to mid sized bands; give them some love too
Could you react to the Lafayette high school band from Kentucky? They were 10th in prelims at the Indy super regional and 14th in finals. (Also beat dobbyns bennet in 2019 at Johnson city)
Wow, I'm from Texas and I marveled at all the great programs we had this year, but once I heard AVON online, I was speechless! Their musicality and creativity was hard to describe! In my opinion this is one of AVON's most musical performances on record! It was very moving and inspirational! I believe this year was a close year! In my mind, there may have been a 3 way tie for first place even if Hebron had gone to Nationals. (Hebron, Carmel, Avon). Also I heard such beautiful music from out of state bands that I had never known before. There is so much talent in these top 10 bands, not to mention the other top 30 there were not mentioned. It must be epic to experience live! I have yet to attend Nationals in person!
@JMM244. I just don’t see the Indiana contingents packing the brass HP that round out this list. Their brass books were intermediate in level and so it sounds good. Would have the top 100 bands competed at Nats 2022: Hebron Woodlands Vandy If BOA wasn’t so heavy adjudicated on designer and visual I would always say BA before I would consider Avon and Carmel. I*** I could concede a 4 way tie for 3rd. Vandy, BA, Avon and Carmel
I am not here to agree/disagree, but I have a question. What was your requirements for the placements? Was it show presentation, music or some other attribute that made you make this determination?
I feel so too. But I bet there's a huge hierarchy there and the practice schedule may be too much for lazy peoples XP. My band director said he doesn't like the competition band lifestyle because the schedule is too much when we also have so much homework and most of us work lengthy jobs.
Yes! They had a wonderful show! Can’t stop watching it! It was so beautiful and was just amazing! Visual and music were incredible and just beautiful! It was so entertaining and is my personal favorite show of the year!
Idk Probably around 13-15, I know Id want Vista Ridge, Cedar Ridge, and Flower Mound above them and then its a toss up between them and CTJ so probably 14th
Loved Tarpon but I struggle to find a band at 1-6 to put them ahead of. Hell Vandy people are pissed at me for putting them at 6 and I have the same dilemma, I also should ay that this list is who I think was best, Not who I enjoyed the most. As a viewer id say Tarpon was my 2nd favorite show this year behind the Woodlands.
Agreed!!!!! It was such a beautiful show and the general effect it had was just amazing! The music and visual went so well together! I can’t stop watching and listening to this show! Just so beautiful and elegant!!! And though many other bands at Grand Nationals Finals were absolutely stunning and amazing, this is my personal favorite this year! What a great performance!
Hey, could you react to Tom Glenn High School, (young school) we have a really cool drumset that is a big a part of the show. Our show is a lot better from last year.
Finally The Woodlands are placed correctly!! I enjoyed their shows and was fun to hear all that jazz in SA. Hebron is just in another level. UiL should know that.
Not that I think that they shouldve been in this top 10 but Rosemount has won the Minnesota state championship 15 out of the last 16 years. And after that they go to Waukee Iowa and destroy everyone there too
Oklahoma does not have an actual "state marching band championship" as stated for Broken Arrow. The OSSAA (Oklahoma Secondary Schools Athletic Association), which is the governing body for all recognized school activities, does not have such a competition. What you are calling a state championship is the OBA (Oklahoma Bandmaster's Association) Marching competition that declares a state champion. However, not all school directors are members and many very competitive bands do not take part because it is not an official thing. Only those directors who choose to pay the membership dues in an unrecognized and unaffiliated organization are able to have their bands compete. (And all too often, this expense is not paid by their school districts because it is not tied to OSSAA.) This "state champion" claim has caused a whole lot of confusion and hard feelings for approximately 45 years now and has yet to be resolved or handled properly by the OSSAA or the OBA. The history is sad and neither side seems willing to meet in the middle to resolve the issue or do anything to create an official way to recognize an official state marching champion for the various classes of bands in the state.
That is interesting. I wonder why ok doesn’t put a traditional state championship together. I’m curious what bands in OK that don’t participate are at the BA level. If there are more bands like BA in OK I would love to check them out!
I love how if Hebron had gone to BOA Grand Nationals they would've whooped everyone's butts two years in a row, also can someone tell me why Hebron hasn't gone to grand nationals and why they didn't go last year?
@@JJameson06 yeah that's a valid point, but man I wish someone was able to fund them because watching this band and grand nats in Lucas Oil Stadium would just be one of the greatest experiences I'm my entire life, and I think I speak for a lot of other people when I say that. I'm from Indiana so I compete with Avon and carmel but man Texas is just a different breed
Bro, I understand these are all subjective, but you REALLY need to check out some of the H.S bands in CA. There are some that are just as good, if not better, than Hebron. Mission Viejo H.S., Vista Murrieta H.S. and Rancho Bernardo just to name a few. Yes Hebron is good, they better be being that size, but I've seen bands in CA that are actually smaller and again, just as good as Hebron and the other bands you picked.
@@iainoam2565 Bro Texas loves marching band a little too much it’s actually scary how much work 200+ high schoolers decided to put into performing shows like Vandegrift or Lake Travis
@@lotus4129 see I love some of the Texas bands. They’re some of my favorite. It’s just the community around them is suffocating at times. The amount of times I’ve received criticism that was “Not as good as (insert TX) band” Or “(insert TX) band would’ve swept y’all across the floor” is too many to enjoy. The kids are sweet most of the time, but the community can’t give constructive criticism to save its life
Harder than nats is debatable, plus state scores are all over the place lol, the san Antonio scores are less crazy. either way congrats on the first place at state
Everyone knows that shouldnt have happened. I mean Cedar Ridge got 3rd in state after getting 3rd at area behind both Reagan and Johnson. Vandy is good but the UIL state judges are on something.
@@andersonnelson576 I agree. this program had far more music demand than the Indiana 2. This show was not at 2021 level but still had the visual and music effects that should have left them with the Eagle another year imo
Grand Rapids did a fine job at Nats. I loved the show design. These list is only a subjective Top 10 but it aggregates programs at the highest level and many didn’t get to make it to Nats this year. Grand Rapids should be proud of their performance at Lucas! I caught them at Nats and I am now a fan all the way from Texas!
Sometimes I wish I was born 40 minutes west to be in carmel, but there is a charm being in my band, Its just boring since we are a track band, and our music is easy. I am in the Anderson marching Highlanders. All we are known for are wearing quilts and we got bagpipes, so thats pretty cool.
Why do I love that WM flute and oboe feature so much. ❤
That Hebron piece is impressive! Such a unique and powerful musical moment. I keep listening to it over and over.
It’s so cool
Bruh they may as well just be a dci band it’s insane
the hebron alto trombone solo goes so hard ngl even better when he jumps in with the trumpet
Its a flugelhorn not a trumpet
He plays the trumpet at the end of the solo/ duet section
Never in my wildest dreams, did I think I would ever hear Bruckner’s 8th symphony on a marching field.
We went against Reagan our second foot ball game, it's nice to see their show progress so far. That was my first time seeing such a big band, since I'm from Tom c clark hs
11:03 HI MOM!
Tarpon springs is my personal fav. I loved the feel of it and it was super creative

the old director wrote this show before she left

My favorite band was Broken Arrow. What’s wack is they were the first band I saw when I went into the stadium during prelims. All of these high schools were insane and put my college band visually to shame.
College bands usually don't have great shows and if they do, it's usually pop culture drill visual guessing game stuff XP.
AN ACCURATE RANKING LIST!! Even though my marching band wasn’t in there (I’m Brownsburg), I still think this is pretty accurate. 😊
I married someone from Brownsburg this weekend at grand nats(fake marriage obvi) I loved u guys yall were so kind

Oh please!!! Can’t stand people like you ! Every judge has a different opinion! I hope these aren’t suppose to be in that order!
As someone from the only texas band to not make finals this year. I agree
Hi Jesse. We were cheated of finals R.I.P my freshman marching season I love you Moe and Gene
Archbishop Alter (class-A champions)!! 30 kids put out an amazing performance..
blue springs was my absolute favorite. it made me cry when i heard it in person fr.
I want to see the performance of Kyoto Tachibana（Orange Devils）. That's all!
Great list!
I marched for Avon in the BOA champion era.
I heard tunes I played in shows! I think I get the “bloodlines” title. All the bands were fantastic!

A Combo of BOA Scores and My Opinion on who Sounded the best, who was the cleanest, and who was more entertaining.
Pretty accurate. Should these bands all gone head to head in week 15 this would have been the rankings. Hornrank (week15) has an almost similar lineup

My opinion
Lol 1.35 don’t lie. Both shows were great in my opinion regardless of scores
Where the heck is Grand Rapids Minnesota high school marching band at? Do better next time smh
Who?
Grand Rapids did a fine job at Nats. I loved the show design.
These list is only a subjective Top 10 but it aggregates programs at the highest level and many didn’t get to make it to Nats this year.
Grand Rapids should be proud of their performance at Lucas! I caught them at Nats and I am now a fan all the way from Texas!
Great list!
