This is a funny story.

Ritchie and I had come back from an Audition I had to do ( I passed by the way!) and Ritchie had to go out to get something from the car,,,when he runs back into the house shouting 'A BAND IS PLAYING GREEN DAY NEAR THE PARK!'

i never flew outside the house so fast in my life......I live near a huge park...

The band is called "The Bishop Grandin Marching Ghosts" from the Bishop Grandin High school in Calgary , Alberta, Cananda...The will be rehearsing by the Parliment Buildings in Victoria on Friday night....they put on an excellent show of classical type pieces too and popular ones.

so enjoy HOLIDAY!!!

Actually when I was in marching band in high school and we were deciding what field shows we would go with for the season I think I do recall hearing about a Green Day field show being on the list of shows we could buy.

Check this out, you can see a whole Green Day field show!

Thats so awesome, only further proof that Green Day needs to come to Victoria, you should email this to their record label telling them how passionate you guys are for Green Day over there

Woah, that's amazing.

Something similar happened to me the other day, I was walking down the road, and heard Holiday being covered by this awesome band who were doing like a mini-concert in a field. I've never ran so fast in my life :lol:

we started to run realizing that it might be faster to take the Car! LOL

actually the band was marching through my village playing that song and I managed to miss it!

it was so surreal....

so we followed it to the park...it will be funny when they play on the Parliament Building Lawn....our version of the House of Commons...hee

it was the best piece of the concert too...the others were kind of meh...but this was like holy crap! funny how a member of GDC ( me) happens to be around... it was a great evening too...the kids loved playing it...should have stayed and told them how awesome it was and did any of them go to the Edmonton concert!

nice!! I've tried convincing my band director to do Green Day for our field show.. I know they've made one for songs of AI. Pretty soon I'm sure they'll make band versions off 21CB.

That's amazing!! :D

Hah, that's awesome. Its arrangement is pretty interesting...Different from what I thought it would be when I first watched it, but still great nonetheless. If only the local high school would do something like this, haha. Hm, go Canada? :P

Very cool...Holiday was played by a marching band in the Macy's Day Parade about 2-3 years ago. It was really good!
