Nishihara ’00-’01, Best High School Marching Band Show Ever

Nishihara High School plays the season ending encore, Jan ’01, after winning the Nationals at Christmas. Later in 2001 went on to win the worlds outside (for all that argues about this being indoors). This is the best show I’ve ever seen executed in High School Marching period (newly posted 2004-05 show might beat it although it was not as well executed, but it was a much more demanding show)! Highlights: The Horn’s score is unreal! The Marching is More Unreal. The Guard Wow! {Missing a snare, Broken Hand, all else in tact}
