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.

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!
