It is a very great improvement on the usual marching band.
I t looks very energetic if you also have to play a wind instrument.
And how long did they have to practice to learn both the moves and music for such a long routine.
Back in late 60s/early 70s, our Boston suburb, public high school marching band did these type of routines. I was expecting so much more from the comments.

I liked how some people just wanted to get their groceries home and didn't stop for a second to look at the band members - kind of like it was a daily obstacle for them.
 
There was a perceived lack of comments that I would like to address. Circa 1968 my high school band used to practice on the small street out behind of the school. The plant nursery didn’t seem to mind but the guy who had some horses across the street did. On one memorable occasion he came out to the fence and lit into our director with words that maybe I hadn’t learned yet. Whoowee! We had to practice there when the rain had turned the football field into a swamp. Nobody liked marching around in mud. BTW that street is now named Nursery lane.
