If you want to share audio, use [url=http://listen.grooveshark.com/]grooveshark[/url]. I don't know if media tags support it, but it has a lot of DCI shows and it's higher quality.
Here is a competition video of our Queen performance in Tiger Stadium.

Mississippi may not have much, but at least we have music. I would the best high school in Mississippi in marching band is never the same. It's always either Southaven, Mississippi; Petal, Mississippi; and Madison, Mississippi. Pearl High School would be awesome if they had maybe 50 more kids in their band to compete with the large 3 bands. Madison Central doesn't do "in-state" championships though. I never understood why.
We have some people from the cavaliers that teach in the LP marching Band, they're pretty awesome.
I thought you meant army drum corps, like this:

Interesting. Competition is big over here, if I could find a video of the show our band did this year I would show it, however I'll just show you our last year's show:

It's not as high quality, but it'll suffice. We got 9th at State championships with that show.
This:

is what every band has to compete with every year. They win 1st place at state every year and they won 2nd at Grand Nationals this year with this show. I'm surprised they haven't tried to start a corps.

Y'all just need to pull off some old marching band technique, judges love that stuff.
Mississippi got first place for the International Lions Band in 2010.

But Mississippi is usually in the news for something like obesity rate or something like that.
The thing is, parades/traditional marching band shows are not very big here. Thanks to big bands in our state like Broken Arrow, Tulsa Union, and Owasso, it's all about big flashy entertaining corps styled shows.
My band director thinks doing easy, traditional marching shows are lame as hell, and she would rather do something entertaining and flashy but at the same time challenging for the band compared to an easier show. Also our visual tech guy is a guy who marched in drum corps for several years, so he always tries to implement stupid corps visuals.
I mean, did you look at Broken Arrow? They're considered one of the best highschool [del]drum corps[/del] marching bands in the nation. They almost never do any traditional marching. I mean, one year they got on their knees and marched and played. On their knees. And I noticed you had a bicycle as a formation in your video because of Queen's song. Guess what? They actually have bicycles. On the field. And the judges love it.
