Congratulations to everyone on an amazing season!
THANK YOU for putting Tarpon Springs so high! I feel like if this had been a Grand Nats year for them, they would have definitely been in contention for the Eagle!
Tarpon Springs on top!
Tarpon shares co champ (Vandy). I loved this years production!
They are seriously good!
I think the most surprising thing is the section of the Blue Springs show you decided to clip for your video. Definitely great highlights of woodwind vs. brass, just not what I would've picked! Very proud alumni regardless - congrats GR on a successful season!
Totally okay with this overall marching band list. I would have absolutely put Hebron over Carmel due to GE music effect but other than that,…. Oh yeah Marcus! 🤘. Marcus over TWHS if this was SMBC week. Lol.
Keep up the thoughtful and great marching arts content.
As a member of the ctj band i honestly agree with this list i do wish our show was put together a bit better because it could have been such a hit.
For what it’s worth, I loved y’all’s show
1. The Woodlands
2. The Woodlands
3. The Woodlands
4. The Woodlands
5. The Woodlands
6. The Woodlands
Blue Springs beat woodlands at Nats. Not to mention Hebron, Carmel, or Avon
If we’re gonna play that game lets just start with the woodlands being on the list 6 times lol, comment was obviously not meant to be taken seriously
@@philkeil822 cope
@@kbuddy1 well I just straight disagree with you then. I really enjoyed their show. I agree Hebron should have finished higher than Carmel though. My top 5 for GN would have been Avon, Hebron, Carmel, BS, Woodlands. If not for Woodlands Color Guard, WM may have snuck in there at 5.
@@kbuddy1Yes, Avon 100% won imo. Hebron then Carmel should have been close behind though. Then there should have been a gap followed by the other 3 In a second tier. It is tough to judge though, because there is a very different approach between the Midwest bands and the southern bands. I just go with what hits me in the feels. I personally love the theatrics and visuals BS and Avon throw out there, and no one touches Hebron musically. Carmel is impressive, but they do get a lot of the benefit of the doubt.
Tarpon Springs had, by far, the most unique and entertaining show, even if they weren't the cleanest.
mason as well tbh i cried
Fishers Marching band was better tbh
their show this year was terribly designed ngl
they shouldnt have done a christmas show with vocals even if they were going to macys@@elipm2130
tarpon always has the most entertaining shows and i love it
@@elipm2130let me guess, ur from fishers
I have no dog in this fight, but I thought Pearland had one of he most beautiful performances Ive seen...all the way from their beautifl uniforms and overall impression to their music. My overall favorite is the Woodlands....love their look and choice of music...
Fun fact, vandegrift is one of the few (maybe the only?) band that Avon has never beaten in direct competition.
(Yes I know the sample size is incredibly small, this is mostly a joke)
Let’s go tarpon springs #3! I marched that show and loved it!
I saw 2022s victory run in Orlando (I’m from Wando) live and it was incredible, I wish I coulda got to see you guys at nats last year tho 😢
That’s really cool. Urban legend was incredible
I watched Wando prelims and the show was great!
You should do another top 10 underrated shows of 2023, im interested to see what schools would make the mark this year since there were alot of super solid performances.
Thank you for putting my high school
Where would you place some of the good California bands? (Eg. Ayala and Vista Murrieta)
My sister is in the tarpon springs band!
I am in the Avon band
erm i think you forgot to put Prosper HS on there, their 2023 show was absolutely goated and shouldve at least made finals at state if not won (totally unbiased opinion i swear)
GR Blue Springs Mo.
I mean Blue Springs had me a question mark but like 2018 the artistry was just unquestionable. Should high school circuits overly reward “artsy fartsy”programs is another debate. All I know is that I felt something watching that show. Thumbs up MO 👍
notice how they're ALL TEXAS?
Because Texas bands are good?
That Hebron is wild
Nice thumbnail pic 😂
My personal top ten favorite shows of 2023
#1: Hebron (TX) - Monomyth
#2: Bentonville (AR) - Sunflower
#3: The Woodlands (TX) - Day Danse
#4: Vandegrift (TX) - Spotlight
#5: Tarpon Springs (FL) - The Other Side
#6: Flower Mound (TX) - Deconstucted
#7: Vista Ridge (TX) - ICON
#8: Blue Springs (MO) - Becoming
#9: Avon (IN) - Tableaux
#10: Claudia Taylor Johnson (TX) - Flamingo
This is not an objective or skill based ranking, it’s purely how much I enjoyed the show.
Listen to vandegrift into the grid 2022
@@personguy4219 it’s my 15th favorite show of 2022
@@boa.favorites watch it again 🙂↕️
My top 10:
1. Vandegrift
2. Hebron
3. Tarpon Springs
4. Carmel
5. Avon
6. Woodlands
7. Marcus
8. Mason
9. Broken Arrow
10. Bentonville
no blue springs? they would've outscored 4 bands on this list
Where’s Blue Springs? They got 4th. Also Hebron is a little bit too high
Everyone sleeping on flomo 😢
Broken Arrow didn't even attend Super Regional. They ate good, but didn't uave a great year
I’m fine with Broken arrow there, that’s understandable. Bentonville has me scratching my head. I love bentonville as much as the next guy, but over the Texas #5 and on? I just don’t see it.
What do you think of Miamisburg?
What place would you put Cy fair
around late teens early twenties, very good.
Would you rate bridgeland above cy fair of below
Hard to say, I enjoyed both a lot. I would probably say yes but very very slim margin between both (yes to cy-fair over bridgeland)
I am from fair
@COOPDOG903-rq6ru oh cool, you guys are awesome
hey just curious if keller was in your top 30
yes, they are around the 25 range for me
@@6band okay 🎉🙌
Don’t sleep on Grants pass in Washington
No pearland is wild
Where would you put bell
Marcus scored higher than Hebron at state and scored higher at BoA San Antonio than Hebron did at Grand Nats
I mean… that doesn’t exactly tell the full story. SA finals was was super inflated. The Woodlands beat Marcus and They got 5th (should have been 4th). The Woodlands snagged a score 2 points lower than SA finals in finals. But also Hebron scored higher than Marcus in nats semis too, and they also placed 1st in a deflated prelims. So for those reasons I put Hebron above (Also I personally prefer them due to how ridiculously difficult their show is)
@@6bandfair enough. Personally I think musicality wise, vandy, then marcus, then Hebron. Visual wise (how it was executed) Hebron,Marcus,Vandy. How difficulty in show, marcus and Hebron tied for 1st, vandy 2nd. Personal opinion obviously and BoA SA scores this year were stupid. Having Spotlight beat pen striped is absurd. I just think since In final competition that marcus and Hebron were in together marcus won, than it should be one in front of if not one behind Hebron. Other than that very solid list.
Very subjective as you say, especially if your band is from Indiana or Texas. LMAO, what a joke. The fix is in….
Bro put a clip of marcus where the band didnt even play. Like, at least could have showed the ballad or something
Where is Harrison on your list
No way you put vista and broken arrow in honorable mentions 💀💀
Vista can pretty much out play any program in the country but they do lack visual design iMO. BA suffered the same fate this season. I agree with these rankings
Did you not see Vistas closer this year??? IMO they should be on the top 10 list just for their closer
@@a.h.i267 I’m not even going to try to debate that performance. It was amazing! My Brass sensitivities would put them Top 3 in the country!
I’m apart of the fishers high school guard and some how our score went down 😭. We went from a 92 to an 88 at grand nats
when did you guys get 92?
I don't see the 92...
Prelims-89.200
Semi Finals-90.200
Finals-88.90
Either way, super consistent and a fun show!
@stephaniemccullough1407 i think they read 90.2 as 92
Watching blue springs was just weird
How so?
@@stephaniemccullough1407 its a weird show in general, def my favorite of the year though ending almost made me cry
The movements were more contemporary and 'earthy', which I find super interesting. The entire show is about how each person is unique and makes an imprint on the world, thus the swirl marching patterns that mimic a fingerprint. The talent of each band had me awestruck but the Blue Springs show has a lot of depth to the story and movements. Id never seen anything like that in a marching performance before.
@@caivean2337thank you so much! (I was the guard soloist)
Vandegrift would have won grand nats had they gone
Let’s not get carried away there😂
@@humptydumpty109they got 97.6 at super regional finals so yeah they probably would’ve
@@RidgeNuess Not 100%. More like a 50-50 considering how competitive Carmel and Avon are. But I do agree that Vandy should be one of the top bands.
The woodlands scored a 96 something at San Antonio and got 5th….all about effect and visual at nationals.
@jongregory5562 I mean, they also got a 97 in semis, I think finals they just had a bad run.
No way you put rouse over cedar park
Huhhh
bruh Rouse had a better competitive season than cedar park
@@youda-van6597 didn’t win state
@jonathanlevinsky6757 Technically, winning state doesn't confirm that Cedar Park should be over Rouse for the scoring rubric is different. That's like saying Rouse is better than Vandy for all season just because they beat them once.
I did this based on my personal opinions and what would happen in BOA events, both lean Rouse hard. Rouse is 4/4 in BOA runs this season over Cedar Park, and the beat them by over 3.5 points in SA prelims and finals, sweeping 3A. And in my own personal opinion which usually breaks ties or super close decisions, I also lean Rouse pretty big.
avons visuals are amazing, but that woodwinds feature was so boring
I'm sorry but the judging panel didn't agree.
Actually, the judges did agree. Hebron won Music.@@Mikkaag
@user-ll2qm4so8u Yes they agreed that Hebrons music was better than everyone else's. Not that Avons wind solo was boring. However Music is not the entire show and that is what the judges saw as well.
Rouse had the best show at the 2023 state championship. Just saying
@@kbuddy1 LOL
