Diamond Bar

I just wanted to take a minute to appreciate what Diamond Bar Band has contributed to parade marching.
From 2014, the year that they first won Arcadia BR, to 2016, their third victory, Diamond Bar has continuously pushed forward and renewed the excitement on the streets that parallels bands like Arcadia in the early 2000s.
Other bands, color guards, and drum majors are all aspiring to reach your level, and the entire sport of parade marching seems to be evolving because of your 3 exciting years of victories. As a former marching band member (I marched back in the 90s), I grew bored of parade marching for a while since I didn’t really see the energy there, but Diamond Bar (and their rivalry with RK) is really bringing the fire back to the streets.
Your performance at Arcadia in 2015 (which I watched at the venue) was the very first parade performance that gave me goosebumps from the drum major's starting routine to the last rank passing the end line.
Keep growing, Diamond Bar, and know that you’re the band that revived my passion for parade marching as well as so many other veterans.
