THE SONG IS PROPERTY OF THOSE WHO OWN IT IN ONE FORM OR ANOTHER. STOP BLOCKING THIS VIDEO!!!! I am told the name of the song APEX is using for this show is Imogen Heap – Hide and Seek. I’m not sure if this is correct or not. Please contact APEX Winter Guard to be sure.

Song: Marching Bands of Manhattan Artist: Death Cab for Cutie Footage: Final Fantasy 8 I decided to make another lyric video to one of Death Cab for Cutie’s song. I tried something new in this one and used a scene from the ending of Final Fantasy VIII (Square Enix) and had to really slow it down so it would be however long this video is.Anyways, I’m not sure if I like it and I’ll probably just switch back to my usual (blue titles XD) but I don’t know . . . I also changed the font and stuf, so I’m sorry if it’s kinda hard to read or anything . . . Tell me what you think. And enjoy :) (Oh and . . . Sorry if clips are off although some of it may simply be because of the fade in fade out effect . . . ) DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING IN THIS VIDEO! I AM NOT MAKING ANY PROFIT OFF OF THIS EITHER. EVERYTHING BELONGS TO THEIR RIGHTFUL OWNERS! NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT INTENDED!

Lyrics: If I Could Open My Arms And Span The Length Of The Isle Of Manhattan I’d Bring It To Where You Are Making A Lake Of The East River And Hudson If I Could Open My Mouth Wide Enough For A Marching Band To March Out They Would Make Your Name Sing And Bend Through Alleys And Bounce Off all the Buildings I Wish We Could Open Our Eyes To See In All Directions At The Same Time Oh, What A Beautiful View If You Were Never Aware Of What Was Around You And It Is True What You Say That I Live Like A Hermit In My Own Head But When The Sun Shines Again I’ll Pull The Curtains And Blinds To Let The Light In Sorrow Drips Into Your Heart| Through A Pinhole| Just Like A Faucet That Leaks | And There Is Comfort In The Sound | X4 But While You Debate | Half Empty Or Half Full | It Slowly Rises Your Love Is Gonna Drown | Your Love Is Gonna Drown (x4) Your Love Is Gonna

Click “watch in HD” option below the video! The Williamstown High School Marching Band from WIlliamstown, Kentucky, performs at the Forest Hills Band Expo at Anderson High School, Ohio, on October 24, 2009. I was absolutely amazed when I saw this band in competition. I understand the school has fewer than 250 students in grades 9 – 12. There is no football team. Congratulations to the amazing Williamstown band members and director (and crazy band parents, of course!) I’m posting this as a thank you for all of your awesome talent and hard work!

Pride of the Southland Marching Band Pregame

For some Tennessee Rookies, the official “Fight Song” of the Tennessee Vols is “Down the Field”. That’s the song the UT plays when the Vols enter the T and run out on the field. The song just before when the T is formed is called “Fight Vols Fight”. If you notice as a UT Fan, “Down the Field” is the first song played when UT scores a touchdown, is NOT played like Rocky Top, 39 times a game whether we score or not. I always love to hear “Down The Field” because that means the VOLS just hung 7 on the other team. The other very sportsmanlike thing the Pride does, is play the opponents fight song during the pre-game show, and they’ll face their crowd on the East side when they do it. GO VOLS!
