I know he was with Mt. Carmel, then RB for a long time. Now he just does clinics and judging. Just wondering because Rancho Bernardo had a really good run with Cole. And I believe Landes is at Arcadia during this point as well?
repping Vista High’s 87-88 Pageantry Corp here! We had such amazing auxiliary groups 80s through 90s! In ‘87 our pageantry won Sweepstakes at Mt. Carmel - it was such a thrill!!! This ‘93 pageantry’s parade work here is STUNNING and strong!!! The band here is also fab. I wish VHS was still in the parade game
I have the 1994 Arcadia Band Review program and it lists Tom Cole as Rancho Bernardo's band director. Not really sure if he was director there in '93 though.
I am always impressed by how many people showed up to watch band reviews "back in the day"
23ish years later... wow still amazed

The Vista HS color guard was GREAT! wow!!
That may have been Greg Llacer's colorguard. They were awesome.
Porteno1924 I think it was Gigi Alcala’s guard.
I agree!

Wow -- these bands are really good! This is a classic video!
I love it!!!! You rock Luis!!!
Really nice music -- but boy quality of video [visuals] has sure improved over 20 years.
I know. Those were good times!
Did Mt.Carmel perform in exhibition or did they actually compete?
Was Tom Cole already at RB at this point?

Tom Cole was band director since 1990
Sounds right, Albert.
As someone who is in this video (which row escapes me at this point) I can definitely confirm Mr Cole was the band director.
Vista was my favorite.
Their parade work was so amazing! I wish Vista still did parades - they had such a strong parade legacy from the 70s through early aughts!
