Personally as a Hebron Band Kid, this show by far was my favorite show and I loved the choreography and the style of the music. This had the perfect mix of emotions in the ballad and then getting super hyped in the closer. 10/10 love this band and I’m sad to leave it.
hey rex! i def agree w this and i’ll miss marching this show
y’all’s show was mind boggling. i had goose bumps everywhere when we watched it live. i loved every minute and i practically have it memorized with the amount of times i’ve watched it! - keller band kid
Heyy, what’s the name of the song y’all are playing around 8:55??
@@cab1stborn I actually don’t think it’s a song, I believe that was just something the directors came up with. None of the music sheets that they gave us had names it was just part 1-4.
First, BRAVO to you and your fellow band members. Your 2021 show transcends the idea of what we know as traditional marching band. The level of performance here is astounding. Congrats to the students AND your teachers! The sax ensemble sounds like the music of Piazzolla. (?) Just incredible all the way around. Best of luck to you!
Let this be a reminder: Don’t mess with Texas bands💪🏼😎
Trust me, I won’t
@@aidynknedgen can you do a reaction video of the william mason highschool marching band 2021?
I’m from Fl and attended high school in Florida. We have a good bit of musical talent throughout the state with regard to music programs.
There is nothing I’ve ever seen during my schooling and experiences at festivals and competitions in Florida that is in the same universe as this. It’s astonishing and a testament to a complete commitment to furthering these young musicians as they hone the skills necessary to be the best musicians they can possibly be. Congratulations to all involved!
@@kevinhorn4219 I'm from Florida too and thanks to having a good band teacher, we get to go to competitions in Central Florida. We're a small 2A band from a small town of a poor county but our sound has gotten so much better over this year that I cannot wait for next year's marching season going into Sophomore year. Lead Trombonist here who is a freshman ;).
@@kevinhorn4219 but yeah, Texas is MAD compared to Florida. North Florida marching isn't too good because most of it is composed as pop culture insert shows. My school and Bucholz are the only ones that don't do that lol. Texas is just insane. Like, Florida can't beat Texas.
My kid plays the Euphonium in this marching band. They practiced almost the entire summer, some days in 100 degree heat. Their director,Mr. Sealy, is very dedicated and hard working.
These kids are awesome!
i know your son! i’m also apart of the band
My kid plays trombone in this show! It still gets me listening to this so many months later.
Fellow mom of a euph (2022) and color guard (2021). She's done both and they're ALL insanely dedicated. So proud of every single one of these kids. Concussions are common in guard, and the heat during the summer practice is immense, but they don't let any of it stop them. Can't wait for Grand Nats next year! AIATT!
I remember being in the 100+ degree heat but my directors were very careful about not having us outside in the afternoon in the heat.
This is the reason Marcus and Flower Mound are fanboying over their cousin Hebron, so freaking fantastic. To think these 3 schools are in the same district is actually mind blowing.
And then having to go against them at BOA DFW 😭 only time we made top 3 was when Marcus didn’t go
@@void8422 dawg at least you made finals im in a tiny 5A frisco band and we didn’t even make finals
I go to Flour Mound Texas and I gotta say Hebron deserved first by far their show was amazing.
Wow I loved flower mound’s show! Y’all did amazing but then again so did Hebron haha
Your guys show was very cool and fun
Hebron got 1st at BOA San Antonio with a score of 95.95 sweeping Captions and then the following Monday/Tuesday, they won 6A State with an ordinal score of 12, all judges had them in 1st except for the percussion judge who put them in 6th. Now, I would say Hebron plays arguably the most difficult and complex music book in the entire world on a high school/even college level. I do not think there is a single HS Band out there that could outplay them. I know for sure if they went to Nationals this year, we would've seen the current Music Caption holder (Avon 2010, 19.8) get broken. Hebron is not a band you would want to compete against. I can not wait to see what kind of show they have plans for next year to one-up this show.
Nah ba still would of beat them
@@veggie_party115 You trippin bro
@@BrassPlayr no I litterly am not, Hebron ga is 🤢 the music is godly along with the forms but the ga is 🤢
@@veggie_party115 the show wasnt designed for ga because uil doesnt care about ga if they were going to grand nats they would have done it
@@broncos4181 and how would i know what uil is built for? i don't go there. I go to nats so I do know that ba still would of won
This was most definitely a show to remember. It was so much hard work that really payed off.
Hi Aidyn! My son is a student at Hebron HS. He went to the BOA Grand Nats in Indy with them a couple of years ago, when they did “Among the Stars” as their show. Definitely another awesome show for you to check out - they got 3rd place finals overall, 1st in music, and received the invitation that year to the Rose Parade in Pasadena for the following year. Unfortunately, the parade was canceled because of the pandemic, and the invite was postponed to this January 1, 2022. They are 63rd position in the parade, if you watch.
This is just such an honor deserved for tremendous hard work in practices in the North Texas fall heat on a concrete parking lot. Most all of the “kids” have a great deal of pride in the product, and the program is run with student leadership as well as the faculty Directors. Commitment is expected, as expressed in their motto “All In, All the Time”. There is a great deal of parent participation and volunteerism. So morale runs high. In the area of Carrollton, there are several suburbs with high schools and bands with the same level of commitment to excellence, and there is a great deal of respect for all of the area’s bands, though you sometimes catch that there is friendly and secret rivalry that encourages each band to work harder to beat the others in competitions, LOL. Music that is so complex, played with technical accuracy and expression is truly impressive, as evidenced by this performance of “Penstriped”. The brass bass section and mellophones (euphoniums) have such a full presence and dynamic range in this band, that the “wall of sound” from the field comes firmly into your belly and shakes your being as strongly as being at a rock concert - it’s very immersive!!! Music “felt” and not just heard (sonically undistorted and pleasing) can bring one to tears! Additionally, it is so touching to see young people strive like this to produce excellence and take pride in it. I think the competitions provide additional motivation - to see just “how far they can go”. Competitions are financially expensive (buses, flights, hotels, logistics, meals, uniform cleanings and prep, crates for shipping, snacks and water, drivers, etc.) and not all districts have the sponsors or financial abilities. In that case, most could still afford busses to local day-length district competitions, perhaps. As I’ve indicated, displaying a band’s skills publically motivates them to excel, I believe. It’s also good to share the spotlight - one of the reasons that Hebron doesn’t go to Nationals every year, but the opportunity is circulated among the district’s suburbs.
Anyway, it’s been a privilege to give my comments here. I hope that it helps someone out there! Take good care! Keep the vids coming.
I did music warm ups that year for grand nats because of all of the great bands. I made it a point to make sure I had the time slot Hebron was warming up and all of my friends did their best to help me get that shift. Turns out they were the last band on my shift so I got to listen to all of the music warmups and run to the press box and watch them preform. Absolutely amazing show. Still have videos of me fan girling over Hebron and Vandy in their warm up rooms. So many insane music programs in Texas and I was so excited to hear everyone :)
Hebron is absolutely ridiculous. I just finished my last season at Keller High School, another highly decorated group from Texas, but Hebron never fails to make me lose my mind. Their music, drill, choreo, precision, and everything are just phenomenal. If you'd like to check out some more high school bands, I would recommend Vandegrift 2021, Hebron 2019, Flower Mound 2021, Ronald Reagan 2019, Claudia Taylor Johnson 2017/19, and (bias alert lol) Keller 2019/21. Loved the reaction!
Omg I’ve actually seen Keller’s ‘19 and it’s literally one of my favorite marching band shows! Y’all killed it and I love the music so much!
Some of my friends cried during your '19 show at the Duncanville Invitational. That was a banger.
@@BrassPlayr that’s the video I watch all the time and the audio quality is just 🤌🏻 I love that show so much
Why yes I would also recommend watching the Keller 2021 show as well. That sounds like a wonderful idea.
Fr hebrons crazy good
Omg! Is this my favorite reaction video so far?? Maybe. These kids are amazing!! I loved how you were like legit speechless and inspired-of whatever drill and music I ever did in HS, I would be honored to be beat by these kids. Whoa.
we're a north texas group btw. thanks for listening to our show. this is by far my favorite show so far
Carrollton
@@araxshiriau9275 yes we are indeed from carrollton
hebron can def be compared to a drum corps. my band camp in 2018 was harder than my first year of dci 🤣
Roxette Salas Compared to what corps exactly? What particular corps did you march with?
@@gunner-qf9eh not really going to say where I marched but it was a top 12 corps :)
@@roxettesalas Right. OK
Wow. I have heard many large bands. You said that that may have contributed to the loudness.,I would say that they are in tune which helps to sound louder. Something to do with the physics of sound., a large band that makes lays loud and nasty do not sound like this band, they are just loud. This band show is the best high school show I have ever seen. I marched in high school in the 80s/90s and drum corps in the 90s and a fan of both since. This show is the bomb…..I now have a new band to look up to see what more they have done. Thanks
Thanks so much. As a Hebron band parent, I have attended so many of their rehearsals. I've probably experienced this show 20+ times, if not more. On the end of the ballad, imagine standing 5 feet from them. They are incredibly powerful. Someone up above mentioned that loudness doesn't always mean great sound. Absolutely right. Their sound is pure, in tune and just musically perfect.
And I must said that you are well versed in the marching arts and that’s nice to see someone comment with proper terminology and appreciate and/or critic what you see. I love seeing you react when something impresses you and you smile.
And about Texas bands being the best, I marched high school in Kentucky and my director and others always speak of the great Texas bands and that there are so many great ones.
8:08 9:56 watched this show from about 10 different point of views, seen it live, seen it on GoPro and seen it on recording, my favorite part (besides the entire production) is Bass 4 absolutely vibing. Sometimes you just feel the music and that guy gets it
What more can be said but AMAZING! Such a wonderful show. Bravo Hebron HS!!
The look of satisfaction that kid at the end gets from knowing they did it together and how beautiful and perfect it sounded is everything. I remember we had a really good high school band in my hometown growing up and it sent chills down your spine hearing them playing on your walk home from school and made you feel so proud.
5:15 just amazes me that all those mellos can play that High C with that tone and VOLUME!
yeah that is not an easy note on the mello. props to them!
Fun fact only 2 people played that
@@the_good_fam7873 wait really???
@@aidynknedgen yea two guys with some large lungs
@@the_good_fam7873 wow that’s insane
This BOA contest was a half way point during the marching season, so they weren’t at their best yet. Texas State Marching Contest wasn’t til the first week in November. So the show got better.
I heard you saying, “They are loud” and, They are so big. I’d like to clarify that. They are not the biggest band. The largest band in the United States is Allen HS, from Allen, Texas. It’s over towards Plano and Carrollton.
The difference in playing with sound is that, you can play loud and not control the music. That’s Allem
The other is that Hebron
Plays with clarity. The technique, especially in the Mellophone line, they play with control. That something Allen cannot do.
This performance was a few days before state. Hence Hebron being in SA for a week.
@@BrassPlayr THANK YOU for that correction! I thought they made 2 trips. I apologize.
Keep posting reactions to marching bands awesome 👏🏾
Game-changer, like Westfield 1990 and Spring 1993...just a completely different level of music making.
Hebron is probably the #1 HS band in America, playing-wise. However, there are a lot of terrific bands in Asia. For DCI style marching, check out Suranaree, an all girls high school from Thailand. ua-cam.com/video/RTLlxrpFi2M/v-deo.html
Japan has the best jr. high and high school concert bands on the planet. Their marching band contests blend military and corps style, with the emphasis on getting a concert band sound. No other program has dominated Japan like Seika Girls' High School, especially before 2015, when their founding director retired. ua-cam.com/video/YyOntQNr78Y/v-deo.html
This is probably the best band show that I have watched to date, (probably because it has a heavy Drum Corp style influence, be interested to know if the staff/show designer have that origin). Great job Hebron.
I actually think that their music arranger also arranged for crown 👀
@@aidynknedgen That would not surprise me. It's quality arrangements. Drum Corps has infused a lot of talent into the music world over the last 10-15 years. I've been clearly seeing that influence.
So glad I got to see this show in person as a Clear Brook kid, it was just insane! Great job Hebron, honestly fantastic.
this is fuckin' insane. OMF'ng G. I was a Texas band kid many years ago and I just can't with this. the amount of work this takes is unbelievable
Pit member from a 1A school here, everyone overlooks this but those mallet runs are EXTREMELY hard and I get blown away every time I hear them
I think this is best high school performance I have ever seen..bar none
Hebron killed it! I’m sure you have a lot of suggestions but another interesting group to check out is the Carmel High school Marching band. I’m interested to hear your thoughts on their 2021 show if you have the time to do another reaction video on them. Thank you! :)
I will definitely put it on my list!! Thank you!
Carmel is great, there’s no question. But I believe Hebron’s show would have won BOA If they could have gone to Nationals.
@@eddietucker7005 oh yeah there’s no question Hebron would have sweeped, carmel didn’t win tho they got second but I see what your saying, I definitely agree I just wanted to hear his thoughts on their show because I thought it was really good too.
Hey I am a Hebron band kid well I am in the color guard but I just wanted to say thanks I am so happy you liked it.
As a sebastion river Florida high school kid (I play bass trombone in are band)
we watched this in rehearsal to have a idea of how to play loud without playing ugly and out of tune. And there brass is ridiculously good.
we are a 4A band btw.
That this is a high school ensemble is completely unreal. What is even more unreal is that according to their website, this show placed 2nd at 3 of the competitions preceding BOA and State.
Who the hell placed 1st ahead of this?!?!?
My guess would be either woodlands or flower mound
My band showed this in class and it was super good
Not comparable to a DCI. But this was absolutely the best high school marching band show of 2021. Wow! Emotion and precision. I wish they went to nationals this year. They were on point
Thank you! We went to the Rose Parade instead. My 15 year old is out there and worked her tail feathers off. So proud of our kids!
Hey Aidyn have you seen FlowerMounds Highschool marching band? They are literally next door neighbors to the Hebron Highschool and share the same region. They also did well at State and Bands of America Grand Nationals. It may be worth doing a reaction video.
I actually have seen their show! I can do a “reaction” to it if you would like!
Yeah flower mound is one of our rival schools!
Those kids are amazing
I WAS BLOWN AWAY
“This is a Highschool”
I’m in a 1A band and this is my reaction to every time I see a 3A or higher marching band 😭
Does anyone have the link to the video he’s reacting to? For some reason I can’t find it anymore
got taken down
I’m part of a class B band in Jasper Indiana and we’ve make it to state finals 32 years in a row and i don’t think we were ever this good but yet Texas and there band it like 2-3 times bigger then ours.
Wow yeah it’s crazy to think about some other schools just have these huge programs and I’m so jealous
Cool man!!!
Hi, I found it totally uninteresting to look as someone is reacting on video. However, just checked Your other vids, and You look to be quite smart and good (rare thing in this times) guy. Keep well. Will subscribe, greetings from Poland.
LMFAOO THIS COMMENT HAS ME WEAK
I'm in middle school and my band directors brought us there to watch it.
That’s an amazing way to get younger students into band, I hope you had a good time!
Aidyn, just so you know that was a Soprano Sax doing the solo parts in the ballad. I am guessing you are a brass guy. "Kenny G." also plays a Soprano sax. You might want to look him up.
Yes I did know that! That part is very well done!
Both of the small ensembles were great. Even the flute clarinet duo at the start was wonderful. I have judged band festivals and state band festivals for over 30 years. This was the best "band sound" I have ever heard on the field.
To be fair, our Michigan weather … we had play through frozen horns sometimes! Lol
Yeah that is very true haha :)
You should watch the Choctaw High School 2021 performance, this was the first year we got into boa finals, we got all awards in our class and got 1ST in our class at BOA Indianapolis.
Sweet! Congrats! I’ll put it on my list
Can we please get an “ooo” count 😭
A very very impressive show.
Hey Aidyn i'm loving your channel, and i was wondering if you could react to something a little different like wgi specifically stryke wynds 2019. its an indoor marching group.
Yeah! I will put that on my list thank you so much!
Isn't wgi winter guard international. That ain't band, it's guard
@@aidynknedgen can you do a reaction video of the william mason high school marching band 2021. They came in 11th at nats this year and the theme was top gun. They had these huge flyover flags that were really cool. Especially from a student/member experance
@@veggie_party115 winter indoor winds was actually just added to wgi a few years ago! wgi is just kind of all-encompassing with winter guard (of course), indoor percussion, and now indoor winds.
@@josiahmacchi4859 only if indoor winds was a thing. If it was my school would do it
You should do a reaction to Blue Stars 2021. It is a great show though I am biased…
whats the link to the video?
Hebron is a 6A school and when I was in school as apart of a 6A school we could march 130 students not including color-guard or props. Please do a review of New Braunfels High school Rogue you can do The path from the same school but the only video does not have all the visuals and sets.
Hebron stole what was supposed to be FloMo’s year
me in a 3a school with a 20 member marching band wishing i had a sliver of dci level experience
Whats the video of the marching band in this video
