Who has the best Marching Band?

[FalconHater00]

I have to say 'ol Johnson County with this one. Those 12 kids put some soul into that band program.

[THSMGR]

Hey Tullahoma Fans.... What about the Tuba Song?

[tonymontana]

Tyner has a great band.

 

I am a McMinn County fan and this year I am very dissappointed in our band. There is probably 50 or so members and thats all. Its a disgrace.

Ooltewah's Band...nationally ranked every year!

HAHA...they don't even have uniforms. When we came to the nest, they were wearing red collared shirts and pants. They weren't all that good either!

[stayNskool]

Ooltewahs band is not a marching band.... they use the Owls football games as practice. watch a tape of them from homecoming when they put on a show and youll see... they are really something else....

I would have to go with Dobyns Bennett on this one. I have never heard another high school band that sounds as good, has uniforms as nice, or has as many people as DB.

 

I tell you one thing, when DB starts playing the Florida State chant, that is some feeling you get, I didn't go to DB, I graduated from Volunteer, but I have to say the DB band is the best.

These are just a few. Many events are turned down because of expense. Many times it takes 9 buses.  As a family member that had siblings in the DB band I pay close attention to sound quality and overall performance.  I have never seen anything in Tennessee come close.  But oh how any band that can place higher than DB in anything will brag, but it is usually without merit as I said.  Some judges actually feel sorry for schools that go against DB. Sad that many regional band competitions sometimes give DB second on purpose.  You can lock up this thread now because this is a blowout for DB

D-B wins the award for loudest band. They also march really well, and for the amount of people that they have, that is amazing, but sound quality is not a positive characteristic of their band. And Macy's is a fantastic parade, but it's not a competition. BOA is a competition. Oh yeah, conspiracy theories don't exist.

There is NO high school band in this state that compares to the band @ Dobyns Bennet. They are AWESOME and I am not a DB fan.

Lawrence County's band is small but they are pumping out Beatles music this year. Do you get any better than that?

i think if any band plays Beatles music they should be considered a pretty good band because the Beatles are one of the best bands eva. DB might have as many people as UT's but that doesnt mean they are as good as UT. Anyways to be in UT's band you have to be selected. its not like you can pick band as a class or something

You don't have to be a great band just to play Beatles songs. Some of the Beatles stuff is quite easy. Just because I can play some Hendrix or Stevie Ray Vaughn doesn't make me one of the best guitar players ever (I wish). I never was a big Beatles fan anyway.

 

I have an idea. Let's get everybody on coacht and tell them to post that their alma mater or a school they're affiliated with and say "They have the best band ever." How many best bands are there? I think they're can only be one....maybe we should get an annual Tennessee High School Band Competition going and decided every year. We'll have it at D-B so there's no excuses why they didn't go.

Hardin County has a very good band. I was really impressed with them last week down in Savannah.
