Marcus 2009. Always been a fan of Shakespeare, and this was one of the first shows that I got to watch live that I can actually remember. Reagan 2019 Ballad. I didn't get to watch it live, but watching the recordings after seeing that they had won with the highest score at San Antonio ever, that was the point where it made sense. The flags all going up at the exact same time with the loud hit is just unbelievable. Hebron 2015 Ballad, mostly because I marched this show and still vividly remember being able to see the crowd react to the sax high note in the ballad. I don't remember most of the shows I marched in already, I have to go back and watch video just to remember what they sounded like, but that 2015 ballad will always stick with me. That feeling is unbelievable and is why so many kids turn to this amazing activity and put so much of their lives into it. One of my cousins would want me to throw Reagan 2005 and CTJ 2014 in there as well. Going to edit this to add Cadets 2011, even though it isn't high school. If you haven't seen it, it's one of the greatest achievements by any organization on a marching field, maybe along with Crown's brass in 2013 in my opinion.

I'm definitely going to agree with this, we're a day or so away from watching more greatness up in Indy. I graduated from the Hebron Band 5 or 6 years ago and have kind of lost touch of the band at this point, but just seeing how happy Andy Sealy and the kids in those pinstriped uniforms were, brought back an enormous wave of nostalgia for this activity and community as a whole. I still remember hopping on these forums every once in a while after one of our competitions to see what people were saying, and so to come back and see all of these people happy that Hebron broke our curse made me super happy. Can't be thankful enough for what the Texas high school marching community has given to me in my life.
