From Arcadia, CA
Arcadia High School Apache Marching Band performing their march entitled Washington Grays by Claudio S. Grafulla at the 59th Annual Arcadia Festival of Bands Band Review on Saturday, November 17th 2012. Leading the Apache Marching Band is Military Drum Major David Wang.
Arcadia served as Host Band. Scores not available.
THIS IS AMAZING !!!!That sound is so well balanced. !!!
14 sousaphones. 7 bassoons ?? That is AWESOME. I can't get over the clean articulation. This is simply AMAZING. I've been showing my kids this for something to work towards. BRAVO
arcadia's drum majors are always amazing
just here to say how awesome that zoom out after the drum major’s opener was :)
One of the best bands I ever seen in 6a. Was in a comp. with them and they won all sweepstakes...
8 marching bassoons. Very impressive band!
Thank you. As for advice, I always like to arrive early to any parade/band review I shoot video at in order to secure a good spot. A 2 or 3 step ladder helps as you get a better vantage point when filming. Of course for this event, I was fortunate enough to have a much taller ladder set up for me by the Arcadia volunteers/staff.
Something like 14 sousaphones? When Arcadia marched in the 1963 Rose Parade there were 5 sousaphones. An amazing HS band.

Love your work of love. Thanks so much for bringing us these great HS Bands. From the Rose Parade review to Disneyland to all of the band competitions.I look forward to your posts.
And to the great Arcadia HS Band Wow! What a sound!
Even back in the '60s Arcadia always had a great band. The were the heavy competition at the All-Western Band Review in Long Beach.
Hugh big band with all members in the best style possible....Also another Drum Major in great form and very impressive.
What a band...it's almost like the stormy weather makes them that much more epic!
An amazing Civil War march. I have played it in concert but not on parade. Like one of the other commentators, I prefer my bands to be focused on the music, with less of the flourishing, in fact without a band front at all. Still, a good performance, especially holding those runs together across such a large band.
the rain. Prevented someone in a uniform from yelling like a previous year
very nice. making America proud.
First time I've watch Arcadia Band video. I'm from the East so I'm not familiar with them. They hold their lines better than video's I've seen of USC's Band. Sound quality is rich.
I did, both JV and Varsity.
it would be cool to have some of the so cal bands come to nor cal. I'd like to see what their results would be in the ncba parade circuit.
I know this is like 4 years late, but Loara HS did go to the 2019 Vallejo Band Review and got 2nd place.
@@fire_man3173 I know that Arcadia went to the Napa band review in 2010 and 2012 and got band, music, marching and drum major sweepstakes both times. It'd be interesting to see other SoCal AA bands head up north though.
@@alvinshuh7449 Agreed. I would love to see Diamond Bar face off against Benicia, also nice to see you here! Greetings from Glendora High School!
wow look at all those bari saxes.

13 ranks, thats one big band
Over 200 piece band? Wow.
it was raining...
he did
just wondered if oyu recorded arcadia jv?
Not the biggest Arcadia street band I've ever seen, but at what looks (at one quick count) to be around 260 members, it looks (and pretty much sounds) like a good-sized university band. Rather typical for Arcadia, I think.
Since Arcadia is the Host Band at this event, everybody marches. When competing, the band will be smaller, as only those who have passed an audition will march. The band has grown to such a large size, they have competed with 2 bands in some competitions. The "Varsity" Band, which is the Best of the Best, and a "Junior Varsity" Band which is better than most.
Are those... marching bassoons?!
the bassoons were in the middle of the band
I thought he retired?
The young ladies who are working with the flags are a drill team not a colour guard that pertains to the flags with a rifle on each end
As someone who was in the program I can assure you that we were, in fact, a colorguard :)
This is a prime example of a "left-handed compliment" ....give with one hand, take back with the other. You ARE right about one thing......this IS much ado about nothing.....and the composer's name is "Grafulla"....just one little "niggling" detail.
the band is awesome, but please don’t dress up as indigenous people
