Avon's best championship winning performance of the three years, easily. I'd go as far as to say no champion since has matched in terms of sheer raw power, performance level and confidence. The Woodlands 2013 came close. A once-in-a-decade (generation?) band

This performance brings back memories. I was in the Avon High School marching band in 2009. I was only a Freshman. It was so exciting and long hours of practice were put into this show : ) I can see myself in this video: 2nd row of xylophones, I'm the last one on the left next to the golden chimes. At 3:03 you can see me move from the xylophone to the golden chimes to play a few bars and then go back : )

I applaud this wonderful band for not relying on props to win their shows. I have so often seen bands that win just because they use bouncy balls or thirty-foot words on the field. It's great to see a band that relies on precision, tone, and uniformity.

I know this comment is 4 years old, but I can't help it right now. We should never compare top high school marching band with DCI World Class corps. That's like comparing the Clemson football team with the Carolina Panthers....they are completely different worlds. Same goes with competitive high school marching band and DCI. Avon High School is one of my favorite bands to watch, and they do well for their ability. The same goes for The Cadets. Let's keep them both separate.

The "wealth" comes from the COMMUNITY! SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION!! BUSINESSES! And I'm not talking about money! There are alot of struggles but we make it!

My band back in the day was decently successful. Definitely not on this level, for sure, but we had 2 hour practices 3 or 4 days every week with 10 hour days on Saturdays. So Avon, I’m sure does that at least or more. I think Broken Arrow practices year round.
