Listen folks! To all of the fans and Alumni @ Cookman. We ought to be honored for other college band programs playing are signature fight songs. We already gave them a mouthful of evidence, so leave it be. Man, economy going down people killing families, gas going up. We have to make sure we got we made reservations for The Classic in time..... So stop trippin'!!! Move on people. Btw, I'am a fellow alumnus of The Marching Wildcats of BCU '98!!!
I am a former Bcu student and know for a fact who composed LET'S GO. His name is Kevin Gilliard. He was a Sax player for the Marching Wildcats in the mid 90's and wrote and arranged the song. Don't believe me all you have to do is google his name. I'm sure it is flattering to him that so many schools have borrowed his song but let the truth be told. This is and always will be a product of Bethune Cookman University.
i like this wouldve been real nice if they put alternating slide when they chanted second time i love the way they pushed that tempo to that was fye TU never ceases to amaze me
I'm here for the music and this joint Rocks!! The crowd determines if it's dope or not.. Everything BCU plays is not Original to BCU.. Lolol.. Lames.. If you ONLY played what BCU made it'd be a short performance!! Lol 👏🏾
@SkegeeLover I agree! if you're going to criticize TU for "stealing" it, then you better get prepared to criticize a MILLION other schools, because i hear this song EVERYWHERE!
@quakentigers well maybe you should get out more cause i know for a fact that alabama state university, albany state university, howard, hampton AND morehouse play this song. oh and famu
@SkegeeLover But did you know that it IS originally a Bethune-Cookman song? Don't believe me? Well, a Bethune-Cookman STUDENT arranged the song years and years ago and BCC (at the time) used it 1st. I know my band history ;) Whenever i hear other bands play it i cringe a little bit to hear other schools yelling let's go... even though I'm slightly honored.
@SkegeeLover HOWEVER.....and it's a BIG HOWEVER, the song originated at Bethune Cookman College in Daytona Beach Florida and is played best and recognized by the Marching Wildcats of Bethune Cookman University.

Whoever said FAMU plays Let's GO is crazy...FAMU would not be caught dead playing anything that is a staple of BCC...(no shade) however, I will say Tuskegee this is a direct copy of BCC's version...Albany State's version has a twist to it...doesn't sound identical...but hey to each his own!
lmao, how do you take a fight song?, it was composed for one university as their unique fight song, its okay if a high school plays it, but another university...i mean..

Nothin like the "HBCU" experience......with a school that has a band and a athletic dept.
i miss TU...
they have "Hey Tuskegee". I love BCU but I have to admit I like this version too.
i like this wouldve been real nice if they put alternating slide when they chanted second time i love the way they pushed that tempo to that was fye TU never ceases to amaze me
THIS IS SO COLD!!! I go to Indiana University and I am so jealous!! LoL
IT was funny how everybody stood up!
Even though BCC came up with this, it is a nice rendition. TU Let's go!!
Same Cookman arrangement. Thank you and good night.
I luv this is one of my favorite band song
Heeeeyyyyy!!!!!! Tuskegee!!!! Wooh! Wooh! Wooh!

WATT DID DA CROWD SAY AT :12
UnCuffable ENT. Tuskegee
They want to play Let's Go,Tuskegee. I wonder how Hey,BCU sounds.
They stole this from Bethune Cookman Wildcats and they need to run and give it back!
@TR3NT15 thats because this is bcu's song
ITS OK FOR A HIGH SCHOOL TO IMITATE A COLLEGE BUT NOT ANOTHER COLLEGE COM ON MAN
@SkegeeLover but cookman the originator plays it best
lmao, how do you take a fight song?, it was composed for one university as their unique fight song, its okay if a high school plays it, but another university...i mean..
@wildcat77 okay who cares its all music if it wasnt copy righted no one owns the song
