What an honor to have been part of this amazing performance. Yes, Geiger was strict... but I learned so much from his discipline. Very thankful to Frank Troyka as well. He taught us many life skills and values that I still implement today.
Those were the days! So nice to see those faces; I recognized so many of them. That year, as well as most of the years I attended Westfield, we had the best of the best in terms of the school-sponsored groups and teams. I was on a team that year when we were among the top 3 in the nation. Go big red! Thanks for posting and sharing this memory.
I was very impressed with this performance. And to be honest, it makes me kinda proud that of all the bands that could beat this by 0.05, it ended up being mine.

Gorgeous sound and showmanship!
Those bones in the opener...epic. It took until 2021 for another school to have bones sound that amazing...
Hebron is like the modern equivalent of this. Amazing sound here.
Westfield band member 86-90, good times. Philip Geiger was a perfectionist

I wish I still had my copy of the press box cam. There's a very awesome set that was missed in the multi-cam recording.
I was fortunate that my band director had press box cam video of finals - and that he let me borrow it and watch it as much as I wanted. LOL
Whoever uploaded this, thank you. Memories are priceless
Yes, these were the wonderful Phil Geiger years with Lamar Burkhalter teaching percussion. Yes these were wonderful years!!!!!
God what an incredible band!
I miss those great Westfield bands from the 90's....use to go to every contest in which they were entered....they were super.
Klein and Westfield ...epic battles
My left ear enjoyed this!
I was in the stands for finals this year (non finalist band). This was my favorite show that year!
My second favorite Westfield show. It's hard to beat '03!

Who beat them
@@deltaphoenix8616 Plymouth Centennial.
We were a wall of sound. The freshmen-seniors were pushing air through their instruments. The stereo recording sounds much better.
As I recall, this band came in 2nd place and was beat out for 1st by about 1/10 of a point.
It was actually less than 1/10. It was by .05 points. Ugh!
Great show, and nice uniforms for a 1990s band
Good times!!!
