I've been reading these posts for years and I've finally decided to say something. What sets this band apart from all the others is their arrangements. Sounds like they have two trumpet parts....1st and solo. Lower and middle brass play "power chords" and woodwinds back-up the upper brass on many arrangements. When this band is hitting on all cylinders, no one can touch them. And no, I did not attend SU....Kentucky State.
I tune some folks out when it comes to that. You can show SU playing the many songs that they don't even crank at all...and, folks will still say SU just plays loud. When you're in the game awhile. It comes with the territory. Good thing is...doesn't take much to laugh at folks that are totally wrong.
actually if you really anything about playing sousaphone, you would know that tubas are to be felt not heard especially on a ballad. Yes they are supposed to be one dynamic over the band even when the director tells the band to come down.. That's the reason for bell tones. Round out each note making it short but still full. That's all I'm saying I'm not hating I love SU ;)
I love how people listen to stuff and post only bad things if you gone listen to a 2 minute video don't post about 4 seconds of wrong note when really there was nothing wrong with it and oh yea word up to the b-tones and mellos holdin it down
@broadways123 BECOME ONE WITH THE WOOD! like im serious, when i crossed i had soo many tracks on my ass that i couldn't tell when the wood stopped and my ass began.
@SUdiehard1 You're right. So I will have fun with an arranger who was asked to arrange songs for the national U.S.army band....not to mention he composed and wrote and arranged Behold. I see you nodding your head to behold. Don't hate. I just said the arranger put in a wrong chord and mr Adams cn tell you what it is just by listening. He is the only professor without a doctorate.
please dont take this the wrong way su is my favorite band but ihate when yall play ballads and play soft. it doesnt sound the best for instancxe at the beginning of the song it wasnt together but after yall cranked it up omg yall was the best band in the land again. and i saw the old head the white tuba player that use to dance sorry for thecritism yall stillmy favorite
Anybody that tries to battle them is a dog on fool thats just suicied their thats like some random guy trying to battle slash on gitar r rihannna tryna battle Beyonce and ima huge rhi rhi fan

i feel so sorry for woodwinds in HBCU's. they look so sad when they play and they stay seated when they play. Lucy for me, i play trombone.
@DTowns1Finest thank u
@nsudizziac11 The greatest and most influential arranger is Lindsey Seargent at FAMU....Adams is definitely 2nd or 3rd though....But Seargent is #1
yeah they were a lil. but you mostly heard trumpets
