I took my wife to Band Fest (20+ years of living in SoCal and hadn't gone) and I think we saw the best marching bands in the world play on one field in six hours.
If you've got the connection take it to full screen as it was a wonderful show.
Canada's band "The Calgary Stampede" played right before the Kyoto band and I'll link the band that followed this one shortly.

So the #1 Marching Band in the USA is the Avon Marching Black & Gold Band, it's been that way three years running.

These folks got there through excellence and fundraising.
enjoy all of them

How many of you could back out of the driveway with the focus on your instrument?

Huh why would I, the thing is bloody heavy (a piano lol). I see that in US and Japan this is a bit more popular but in Europe it has degraded to old folklore and most of the time they are the laughing-stock in the streets...
