Oak Ridge's band hasnt been much of a marching band until two years ago. For years they did it as a fun thing, and they knew that they werent the best. Since it takes a few years to change a program like band, as the kids who were there when it was 'fun' gradaute and they get more kids in starting them as a competition band members will make them only get better. After playing for them while I attended we knew that our choice of music wasnt always what the crowd wanted to hear, but we used it as a way to prepare for concert season in which Oak Ridge is one of the best, if not the best in Tennessee. We always played really hard music in marching season and to counter this we did not do as much for general effect, or GE as its called at OR. Give them a few more years to transition to more of a competition band for marching season, and then you will most likely be able to consider them one of the best competition bands.
