Which High School Band do you like and why?

[Robyn]

This may be OT, but if a band is referred to as "just pimp" is that a positive or a negative? Do I want to be "pimp"?

 

Thanks in advance for the answer.

Hats off to Pearl Cohn they gotta have the best high school band that I have ever heard. At first some of us sitting there in the staidum thought someone had some loud system coming down the road and then we figured out that it was their band. They made quiet an entrance.

The people I talked to that went and watched PC play Sycamore last Friday night said great things about the PC band. That is truly a rare thing to hear from someone anywhere in Cheatham Co

Walker Valley hands down,....they are the best in the area....easy!! When they do thriller and start doing the dance to it,..it is amazing!!! You have to see it for yourself!

I really enjoy watching Brainerd's band.....Soddy Daisy also has a good band.....Why is Ooltewah's band so small this year....They have a good band, just small compared to other 5A schools...

my vote is for Pearl Cohn's band. when they came to our school they had everyone watching them and not the football game. have you ever seen the movie drumline? imagine that just sitting next to you in the bleachers. they are very enteraining.

My Favorite HS Band is Cloudland's Band. They're really small, but they are really good and a very big crowd pleaser. Their show this year was "A western Montage" and I believe it was really good! I went to 3 Marching Band Competitions this year and they were at 2 of the 3 and they got 1st place drumline both times, !st & 2nd place band, superior both times, and 1st place drum major at Greeneville band classic, their drum major was 2nd place of the DAY, beaten only by Dobyns Bennett! Their band may only have 19 people, but they have VOLUME!! If you get a chance to see them this year...you should!

 

To all those people who ask why band is so special and important and why it takes so much work, YOU TRY IT SOMETIME!!!!!!

The Hampton High School Band!

I'll have to admit the Oak Ridge Band is better this year than they have been in the past but it will still take a long time to get them in the top! I will have to give a high 5 to the drum line and the improvement they have made. When I was in high school a million years ago being in the band was something to be proud of, I don't know that that is always the case now.

I am not sure I understand the black t-shirts of ORHS band, I can't understand why the can't wear school colors at least in their t-shirts.

I hope that the band continues to improve and that they will assist in instilling more pride to a GREAT Football program and Traditions!

 

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.
