FU to the Establishment

I love marching bands that strive to be different. When you marched in and/or watched as many parades as I have you'll start to realized "Wow! Marching bands are really boring!" What's this band gonna play? Oh a march. What's the next band gonna play? Oh another march; and so on and so forth. Take this band from Reedly, CA. According to NCBA and SOCCBA bands may only play Association Approved marches, May NOT stop on the Parade route, etc, etc. Yeah, they're pretty strict on what you can and cannot do in competition. Then there's Reedly High School, Here's a band that say's "You know what! we don't care about your scoring or your rules! We're here to entertain the crowd! Now try and stop us!" Take a look at their performance in the 2009 Santa Cruz band review and listen to the crowd reaction.
