In Response To: found the specific high school with H2 band theme (FancyShmancy)


: Louis mentioned recently that he didn't know exactly what high school was
: responsible for the Halo 2 themed marching band tribute . Well, I googled
: a couple places and I'm fairly certain it's Emporia High School (site
: only seems to work in IE) from Emporia, Kansas. Also, it appears their
: mascot is the Spartan, which is both suiting considering the theme and
: overdone as a mascot in general, lol. Anyways, just thought I'd point this
: out to any that were curious (I was for some reason).

Heh - well, you're wrong... but your post made me do the research myself. :)

It's the Escambia High School Band in Pensacola, Florida. (If you look through the comments, you can see that the band is called 'The Pride' - one of the commenters is a band mom. Following HER link, you can see them performing in a competition, and if you listen carefully to the announcer during that competition, you can hear the name of the school. Googling its name finds you the official website.)

That same mom mentions that 'Mr H is brilliant' - the Escambia HS band's advisor is Mr. Holsworth.

Thanks for making me look!
