Nation Ford SC 3A State Champions
@TheIpod08 Thanks! What band are you in? And even though our score was worse, we did much better at state than upperstate.
EPIC I proudly lower my Flag to you.
amzing show!!
Congrats on 1st from ARHS
Holy Crap!!! OMG!! I am speechless. This is EPIC!!! OMG the I’m drooling over the brass sound!!! OMG !!! Please tell me they are competing in BOA!!!!!!!
@antonioemssss BOA Grand Nationals would have been awesome but the kids have another task at hand. That would be the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in NYC. Making both trips from SC would be a bit much. So on Turkey Day morning, forget Snoopy and Barney and Santa balloons, NAFO gonna steal the show! Also, this was the state semifinal, check out the State Final videos where they kicked it up a few notches and you get better video quality.
how are they 3A? Theyre huge?
Saw you all on the parade this morning. You all were awesome. I am glad that Macy’s selected a band from South Carolina after nine years. The last band from SC was Byrnes (2002).
I went to all the nation ford aka nafo football games (varsity) and i saw the band each game at halftime/ intermission! A cuple of my sisters friends went to NYC for the macys parade!!! And btw i went to this game and my sister is in JROTC she was in the news paper and im thinking about being in the marching game in 9th grade i am in 7th grade now!!! CANT WAIT TILL I GO TO NAFO….
@noahk5423 Yes, NAFO is a 3A school, in athletics also. The reason band is so huge is that at least 10% of the whole school population comes out for band. Heard that right from the mouth of Matt Lauer as he intro’d the band on Thanksgiving. And look at other comments here from middle school kid who can’t wait until they get to the high school so they can be in band. This place will have a reputation for musical excellence for a very long time!.
@nomonj06 im in Brookland Cayces band and we only have like 60 people, and we’re 3A. thats what i dont get, how they are that big and only 3A?
@CityTechReveiws im in Union Countys band. we really didnt have a great year as you can tell. we got a new director and its just wasnt our year. but you guys are amazing! im so glad i got to see this from the front! we are sitting in the bleachers in the lower left and i said if it looks great from behind just think what i would look like from the front! great job!
@noahk5423 Nation Ford has a very large portion of the school in band. So does Fort Mill. And since placement is still based off of school size, both they were in 3A. They’re both moving up to 4A next year though.
@0NFDL8 Oh ok, I get it now. Well, good luck to you all next year, beat white knoll!(if you do move up to 4A for sure)
From Union County, this show is just a jaw dropper. You guys moving up to 4A next year?
@noahk5423 Haha. We’ll do our best We got em at Western this year! But that also means nothing since they beat us the years before… Haha
Nice to see large bands nowdays!! Reminds me of the Fort Mill/York rivalry when I was in band..it was always FM 1st and York 2nd except in 94 when York won.
this is really great(: i wish my band was this big!!
god i loved watching yall.i loves this show. i was apart of the circus show, concord highschool, three ring circus 2A banndd (:

Absolutely incredible. What do you get when you take a large band with a big sound, you get NATION FORD. Just great show. good luck next year in 4a. Coming from the Greer High School G-Force.
I’ve got a friend moving down there from Virginia. She won’t be in band but ya’ll look out for her. I’m in marching band, hopefully ya’ll will protect her like we did from others in the school.
