ffloI am a little dumbfounded, looking at footage of my high school band that our drum major just posted to youtube. I knew we were in a national competition and did well, but I'm surprised at how good we seem.
I remember much of the music, and the uniforms, but I'm very fuzzy on a lot of the rest of it. Couldn't have told you I played the chimes as well as the xylophone, yet there I am. That's me in the still for part 2. And did I run over to the tympani for a spell? Looks like it.
This is a very strange experience, watching these.

Date: Aug. 22nd, 2009 03:02 am (UTC)I haven't watched the second set yet, but pretty impressive on the first. Our high school band was completely amateur and yours the type we were embarrassed to be around.
I can't imagine glimpsing myself on video at high school age. Despite the photos of me back then, it would be much different seeing.
I have videos of my mom around. She had a job at the county that had her on TV more than once. She'd call my dad to tell him and he'd try to tape it. There was one where she was angry (had had an arguement with a Republican commission member) and it was lost! My dad looked far and wide. Too bad.
Okay, on to watch the second set.
