There isn’t much detail on the YouTube page, but given the level of the crowd and the stadium, it looks like this is ~~probably a high school band out of Hawaii~~ the University of Hawaii marching band (thanks, David). Kudos…

Good find by Frumpzilla.

Under-the-radar high school quarterbacks will get one shot to compete in the biggest game of their lives in MTV2’s “The Ride: The Road to the U.S. Army American Bowl,” which will air its second season on Saturday, November 13th at 11:00PM ET.

Only one quarterback will remain standing and play alongside the very best players in the nation at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl on Saturday, January 7. The eight contestants will go through a grueling process in which they’re coached up by some of the best in the nation in order to gain a Division 1 scholarship. It’s a great concept and a cool idea for a show.

The Scores Report got its hands on an exclusive clip of “The Ride,” which you can see below. For more info on the show, click here.
