Hey, Hebron Band member here. I’m a mello player and it’s great here how much you liked our show. It was amazing working on it, and I can’t wait till you react to next year’s!
I love that you complimented Hebron’s props because my dad helped build and design them!!! My brother and I are both in the band and we are super lucky to have the group of dads work on the props!!!
I hate NFHS so much. There's plenty of cell phone videos from the stands this year with better audio quality than this. UIL has no idea how to record their own events. Pathetic.
Wow! I didn't expect the Rocky Point closer (arguably the most iconic song in marching arts/drum corp history). Gave me goose bumps. I am so incredibly impressed at the achievements being made by high school bands such as Hebron.
@@colelmore I believe that if Vista Ridge can win in the next 3 years if they keep improving. They have fantastic players and show concepts but right now their visual design is holding them back.
This video your watching was from the State Championships, which Hebron won class 6A. This was on Monday and Tuesday of November 11th and 12th. The BOA San Antonio Super Regional was held in the same building the Friday and Saturday before. So all the 6A bands marched in the Alamodome four times in five days if they made all the rounds of competition. Texas band is on another level!
Love Hebron!!! One of my favorite Hebron shows is 2018, great brass as always! Firebird Suite and Dancer in the Dark, great marching band music! Flower Mound 2016 is great too! To tame the perilous skies!
Also, Funliner, for Nationals, Avon H.S with a score of 97.300 - Gold Medalist. Carmal H.S. with a score of 96.350 - Silver Medalist. And last but not least, Broken Arrow H.S. with a score of 96.350- Bronze Medalist. Honorable mention just because I loved their show, Tarpon Springs Outdoor Performance Ensemble coming at 4th place, with the score of 96.000. I hope this helped :)
Everett, the 6A area finals that Hebron is in is about 10 miles from our house. If you want to fly to DFW and see some of these groups you can stay at our house. Hebron, Marcus, flowermound, braswell, rock hill, prosper, Wylie, Wylie East, McKinney, McKinney Boyd, and all of the Plano schools are in that 6A area. The 5A area is also right up the road about 5 miles from us which has all of the Frisco schools, argyle etc.
It's INSANE to me that this is a high school band! Marching band has come light years in my time. This is some early years drug corps quality. In fact, I marched Cavaliers in the 80s and this band would have been worthy of a DCI appearance back then.
Our Football team went up against Hebron, so I got the privilege of seeing their Show up close on the touchdown, Guyer VS Hebron Their football team is pretty bad I’m gonna be fair with y’all, but their band was absolutely amazing, one thing that you get from Hebron at games that you don’t at Competitions is that their band is extremely loud when playing Pep Tunes and the National Anthem it was very clear to hear them from the opposing side
The football team has done well this year, we are in the 2nd round of playoffs. We shall see if they win and move to 3rd round! Denton Guyer - y’all are just on another level in football !
Dawson band member here, I loved their performance at BOA San antonio and State. Even though flour mound won, it's nice to see the district cares so much about the marching art. I love u hebron
I was hearing rumors that the groups were playing so loud that they actually busted one of the microphones! Kinda wish they would have replaced it so there wasn’t so much distortion during the live stream :/
Hebron is in Texas area J. The bands in that area are all incredibly good. Flower Mound, Flower Mound Marcus, and Hebron are usually the top 3, but any of the top 10-12 bands would probably make the state marching contest if they were in other regions. The high level of competition keeps everyone good.
With their ‘19 video, I definitely have to suggest their 2022 show, I would imagine you would enjoy their ballad, it's quite BD-esque in their approach for sure👀 Also IMO, probably the hardest book for high brass I've heard in marching band, executed really really well, best trumpet section I've heard in the activity for sure
The biggest question is: WHAT ARE THEY FEEDING THEM LEWISVILLE ISD KIDS????? 🤣 They Got Flower Mound, Marcus, AND Hebron! Probably the most talented ISD in the State ( There are exceptions like Leander ISD and such, of course!) but geeeez!
Their directors studied at the top music schools in the country, and many high school programs, nowadays, require their directors have drum corps experience. The kids have private lessons starting from beginning band, onward, and those private lesson teachers are active performers in the DFW area. The standards are HIGH in this district, and the students work to meet them.
I have a list of shows for you to react. I hope this clears everyone’s opinions: Hebron 2022, 2023; Vandegrift 2024; Flower Mound 2024; Cedar Park 2024; Pearland 2023, 2024; Broken Arrow 2021, 2024; Marcus 2024; Vista Ridge 2022-2024; Rouse 2024; Avon (in general); Carmel (in general); Tarpon Springs (in general). Hope this helps! Comment if I missed anything!
I’m from FLOMO and I would love it if you would react to our show this year. I always think your reaction videos are so cool! Us and Hebron were neck and neck all season. We lost regional BOA competition to Hebron by .3 of a point, US bands we lost to Hebron by .2, we lost UIL area to Hebron by 1 point, and then we finally beat them in San Antonio Super Regionals with the 3rd highest score ever recorded at a super regional (97.2) and then Hebron really pulled away and won state by quite a lot You also might enjoy our state and super regional winning performance of Leonardo’s Dream from 2016 Congratulations to Hebron! Very amazing show this year! I enjoyed watching it a lot :)
Alot of the issues with the sound quality and clarity come from the quality of the mics. This organization did UIL last year too and it's just not clear, and hallow sounding. Makes them sound significantly different than they should. It's like flomarching but worse sound quality
Really wish Hebron or Flowermound would have made the trek to Grand Nationals this year may have potentially played out differently. Would love to see your take on the other big bands out there. Tarpon Springs (FL), Carmel (IN), Avon (IN), and Broken Arrow (OK).
The video you’re commenting on is from the UIL Texas State Marching Finals, NOT Bands of America. The top four bands that night were: 1. Hebron, 2. Vandegrift, 3. Flower Mound, 4. Vista Ridge
Can you watch bridgeland this year? It’s our first year making grand nats and we made 7th in finals. I wanna know how good we are for an 8 year old school from the perspective of a professional at this
Hebron parent here: I lived your show! Saw it at Area in Prelims and Finals and it was my favorite (non-Hebron) show! Even if the stadium lights blinded me over and over reflecting off the pyramids, lol.
Everyone is recommending you react to well known bands. That’s awesome and fine, but there are so many really good smaller bands. You should check out South Fork high school 2013. The show is titled Flight. It was my senior year and I was the trumpet soloist.
Vista Ridge had the best music in the contest in my opinion. I can't say how good their marching was, but they placed 4th at uil and 6th at boa san antonio. Their show was better than Hebron imo.
Hey, Hebron Band member here. I’m a mello player and it’s great here how much you liked our show. It was amazing working on it, and I can’t wait till you react to next year’s!

Shout out to Hebron Prop Dads!!
#propdad thanks for the shout out!
Prop Momma here! Thanks for the shout out!❤🎉🎉🎉
band parents are the best parents 🔥
The mics from the recording were really bad. That’s probably why some of the low brass sounds a little splatty
The mics were definitely clipping badly for any of the louder groups. NFHS isn’t anywhere near the recording quality of Flomarching yet alone Box5.
Because Sachse broke them that morning 💀
@@charliewood2.023 Sachse was loud for their size but definitely not as loud as some of the bigger bands
I hate NFHS so much. There's plenty of cell phone videos from the stands this year with better audio quality than this. UIL has no idea how to record their own events. Pathetic.
10:40 yea fun fact that wasn't supposed to be the true ending. We still had around 20-25 seconds left but we had to cut it out for time
it would have been fun to see it. Was it a tag-ending like pinstriped?
WHAT
has it ever been included in a performance?
@@angelaclarinet no 😔 we were already cutting close to the allotted uil time we had and decided not to continue on with the last pages of drill
I'm assuming it could have been allowed in BOA competitions, but it would have been too long for a UIL entry.
@@livingpictureno yea we had the same issue last year with Monomyth, we didn't had the last 2 sets of the show until after UIL for BOA grand nats
I swear I could spend a whole month watching you react to shows
Wow! I didn't expect the Rocky Point closer (arguably the most iconic song in marching arts/drum corp history). Gave me goose bumps. I am so incredibly impressed at the achievements being made by high school bands such as Hebron.
please watch vista ridge 2022-2024 they genuinely have one of the most insane brass lines
Vista Ridge among a few others have definitely been catching up to Hebron in recent years. Their 2024 show was especially impressive to me.
@@colelmore I believe that if Vista Ridge can win in the next 3 years if they keep improving. They have fantastic players and show concepts but right now their visual design is holding them back.
Yes they blew me away

The brass in 2018 was ridiculous and the show was great overall. Especially the mellos my god.
Also, Funliner, for Nationals, Avon H.S with a score of 97.300 - Gold Medalist. Carmal H.S. with a score of 96.350 - Silver Medalist.

We love watching you react to high school. Please continue doing it 🙏
Flower Mound 2024 is pretty good. They got 1st at BOA San Antonio and 3rd at UIL State. Also check out The Woodlands 21-24. All very good shows.
the woodlands this year was so fricking good

If you do react to another Hebron show 2022 was in my opinion the hardest highschool show ever to be marched
I agree with this statement that show was insane musically and visually and deserves so much more credit than it receives
Agreed!

Dawson band member here, I loved their performance at BOA San antonio and State. Even though flour mound won, it's nice to see the district cares so much about the marching art. I love u hebron
when i heard wild nights by john adams in his harmonium piece i went crazy i never expected it to be in a marching band setting
I know they’ve had them for a while, but I love how classy Hebron’s uniforms are.
Hebron is more than a high school marching band… they’re true entertainers !! This organization goes beyond fine art participation 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
@@joshharris3282 finally a marching band respected by drum corps
2012 BD, 2003 Phantom, 2013 Phantom, and rocky point holiday all in one show ❤
Also, hand to hand 8:16 😂
Hebron is really good watched them perform live at state was excellent. Including when they won state
I love this guy. He’d make a fantastic GE judge if he isn’t already.
Vandegrift was incredible this year!!! They tied with Hebron but lost on a tiebreaker. Please watch them!!!
Facts!! What a season for Vandegrift High School ❤🎉‼️
I was hearing rumors that the groups were playing so loud that they actually busted one of the microphones! Kinda wish they would have replaced it so there wasn’t so much distortion during the live stream :/

Brock Alsaffar is an assistant at Hebron and was a Trumpet player with BD in 2019
Yeah I love Mr alcifar😝
You should react to The Woodlands show this year because they won visual caption with music written and arranged by Wayne Downey.
Yea it was incredible to watch in person also don’t think you noticed the prop color change 😂
The biggest question is: WHAT ARE THEY FEEDING THEM LEWISVILLE ISD KIDS????? 🤣 They Got Flower Mound, Marcus, AND Hebron! Probably the most talented ISD in the State ( There are exceptions like Leander ISD and such, of course!) but geeeez!

I wanna give props to my lead alto saxes, I know you can’t hear them but they are up in the C7 range which is incredibly hard on sax. Kudos to them
Please react to Flower Mound. They have very good visuals and they won the San Antonio regionals and came 3rd on the UIL state in San Antonio.
I have a list of shows for you to react. I hope this clears everyone’s opinions: Hebron 2022, 2023; Vandegrift 2024; Flower Mound 2024; Cedar Park 2024; Pearland 2023, 2024; Broken Arrow 2021, 2024; Marcus 2024; Vista Ridge 2022-2024; Rouse 2024; Avon (in general); Carmel (in general); Tarpon Springs (in general). Hope this helps! Comment if I missed anything!
You need to react to Vandergrift high school 2024. Absolutely amazing show
This is UIL state championship. Meaning everyone in Texas competing against each other. Hebron won
got 2nd.
@@georgedixon9863 Hebron placed 2nd in the BOA SA Super Regional, but placed first at UIL state which is what he referred to
please for the love of god do vista ridge 2024
devs 2012, phantom 03, crown 10, coats 09, ROCKY POINT?? these guys looove using drum corps pieces lolll
Cadets 03
No yea most of our shows if not all have bits of drum corps
@@Misael6754 i think cadets did it first in 82 but it's just THE cadets piece !!
As long as they keep SOUNDing like the Cadets, I'm good with it. They are so good they just compete with themselves
Go watch Hebron 2023 in my opinion it’s the best *Other than 2021 but you already saw that*
react to Broken Arrow 2024 and Lone Star HS 2024
i'm loving these high school reactions please do more
glad I found this channel!!! thanks
I’m from FLOMO and I would love it if you would react to our show this year. I always think your reaction videos are so cool!
Us and Hebron were neck and neck all season. We lost regional BOA competition to Hebron by .3 of a point, US bands we lost to Hebron by .2, we lost UIL area to Hebron by 1 point, and then we finally beat them in San Antonio Super Regionals with the 3rd highest score ever recorded at a super regional (97.2) and then Hebron really pulled away and won state by quite a lot
You also might enjoy our state and super regional winning performance of Leonardo’s Dream from 2016
Congratulations to Hebron! Very amazing show this year! I enjoyed watching it a lot :)

If you end up watching Vandegrift 2024 make sure it’s the UIL state finals run. Best run through of a very challenging show.
There should be a yearly counter somewhere of how many of these Hebron kids make it into drum corps. Jesus
We had 4 alumni's march the blue devils 24 season, 2 trumpets graduated 24, 1 mello graudted in 23 and a percussionist graudted 22
Really wish Hebron or Flowermound would have made the trek to Grand Nationals this year may have potentially played out differently. Would love to see your take on the other big bands out there. Tarpon Springs (FL), Carmel (IN), Avon (IN), and Broken Arrow (OK).
Can we get an AVON review?
The video you’re commenting on is from the UIL Texas State Marching Finals, NOT Bands of America.
The top four bands that night were: 1. Hebron, 2. Vandegrift, 3. Flower Mound, 4. Vista Ridge
hope u enjoy flower mound 2024…
Rouse hs 2024! Also Vista ridge brass in class 6A was 😳
i sat in the front row for vista ridge in prelims, and boy did my ears hurt after!
You should react to Hebron 2018, 2022, and 2023
Can you watch bridgeland this year? It’s our first year making grand nats and we made 7th in finals. I wanna know how good we are for an 8 year old school from the perspective of a professional at this
2:15 guns blazing!
Anyone have a link to the version that the Blue devils played that funliner is referring to?
Our band was at this comp (BOA San Antonio), and Hebron went right after us. Probably overshadowed our band completely.
pls do marcus 2024 (3rd at boa right behind hebron and 6th at uil)
Hebron parent here: I lived your show! Saw it at Area in Prelims and Finals and it was my favorite (non-Hebron) show! Even if the stadium lights blinded me over and over reflecting off the pyramids, lol.

Please do Leander high school next 🙏

Hey you should watch Broken arrow HS they had the some of the same source music.
