Tarpon Springs

[tubapop]

I know this is a texas bands forum, but I just discovered Tarpon Springs and feel as though I've had an awakening. I never thought a hs band could entertain me more than penstriped, but then I watched Tarpon springs' 2022 show. The most incredible drill and fun, creative arrangement I've ever seen. 2023 is awesome, too. Just wow. Music is consistently rough but the GE is so high that I don't even care about the music being rough. Anyone else seen these shows?

Check out their 2014 Grand Nationals show on YouTube. They won that year. Earlier in the spring of 2014, Their color guard won the WGI Scholastic World division.

I got to see them in Ohio this past year and and agree that it was one of the most entertaining guard shows I've ever seen.

I was a grand nationals in 2014 with my daughter’s high school, and saw that program win it all. The show was fantastic!

I second that on that the show was fantastic. It's my 2nd favorite show from Tarpon, only behind 2010.

I grew up in Pinellas County and my niece went through their guard program so I’ve been a fan for a long time. My favorite WG shows are The Farmer, NY2 and this year Origin of Cool. Such an innovative program.
