Re: vanguard.
Odessa/Permian (TX) composite band? The folks on the KTLA broadcast said they are the largest band ever in the Rose Parade (500+). I thought Arcadia was huge every time I saw them.Clusknay wrote:Also...one particular marching band was just ridiculous in size...i didn't catch the name of them, but they had on Red/White/gold unis...somewhat similar tunic design to that of Logan. with the zig zag down the center, and red and white splitting each side. Anyhow...they were huge. hahah
Re: vanguard.
Arcadia...that's exactly whom I was comparing them to...imagine a band 200+ members larger than that of arcadia. massive.Wildabeast wrote:Odessa/Permian (TX) composite band?

they were one of the few bands who, by the time they got to were I was sitting (about half way), still could keep their ranks looking halfway decent. I mean, believe me, I know their pain, but you at least gotta try.
So this dyslexic guy walks into a bra...

vanguard
i saw vanguard on the parade. Am i correct that they had not only vanguard members, but also Vanguard Cadets and Alumni members marching in it too??? I enjoyed seeing the corps in the rose parade! I thought they sounded great (im not saying the other bands didn't, they all did great). something about those nice drum corps hornlines RCC was pretty cool too, i was looking forward to seeing them as well today.
i just wish that they would spend more camera time on the marching bands!!! after all thats what its all about right? j/k

Rose Parade Participants (Odessa/Permian Combined Band.
The reason they could form such a big combined Band from the two schools is that Permian has an enrollment of 3,583 and Odessa High Has over 4,000 in four grades. The rivalry between these schools is legendary. I am surprised that some one was not assaulted trying to get these two Bands together. It iprobably was easier to raise money for the trip since both schools were going
