Editorial Reviews

A small town blanketed on the Midwest plains, Broken Arrow, Oklahoma has prospered despite dust bowls and oil busts that left many cities barren. Thriving on the town’s perseverance and pioneering spirit is the school’s marching band – The Pride of Broken Arrow.

Despite their humble beginnings, the Broken Arrow band has become one of the nation’s dominating forces in the competitive world of marching band. This candid documentary reveals how these young musicians and their teachers come to understand the power of tradition, the depth of their character and the undeniable force of destiny that will push them towards the pinnacle of their season - Grand Nationals in Indianapolis, Indiana.

The Pride of Broken Arrow is a refreshing and inspirational look into a quintessential American drama.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor Documentary: Skip it..., August 12, 2006

This review is from: The Pride of Broken Arrow (DVD)
Having actually marched with this truly remarkable band (under Ken Grass and Tom Stout), for several years in the early 80's, I read these other reviews with great excitement. However, upon viewing this DVD, I was honestly shocked at the poor editing and amateur cinematography. The film's focus is largely on the teaching staff, and has very little to do with the high school band members. To put it bluntly, it's actually quite boring. And I must telll you, not once do you get to view the entire half-time show, RIDE OF YOUR LIFE, which for any audience member will leave you dissatisfied. I feel the directors of this film completely and totally failed to convey the marching band experience. My advice is to skip this "flatline" recording, and order the latest DVD from your favorite Drum and Bugle Corp. It will probably cost you a few dollars less, and you'll more than get your dose of inspiration for the day.

5.0 out of 5 stars AMAZING!!!, May 26, 2006

This review is from: The Pride of Broken Arrow (DVD)
If your a hardcore Marching Band fan, this is the dvd for you

There just aren't enough titles out there dealing with real bands with real people. The documentary really captures the spirit of marching band and makes the veiwer feel like they've experienced the Marching Band Season right alongside the Pride

This is an amazing story of hope and passion. Everyone in this movie strives to overcome great obsticles just to share the passion that they have with others. Perfect for any music lover!
