      @@THETOPMAN97 They dont do it like LSU and I am a Alabama fan. LSU's Trumpets and Tubas are more technically sound and precise. BCUs usually just blast their notes and are loud. There is a huge difference in the quality of sound between the two. Just because you are loud doesn't make you good. Bethune cant compare to LSU's band period!

    Talking out the side of your neck, is a trademark for all HBCU bands. I marched at Livingstone College in the early 1990's and it's amazing how everyone comments on how these bigger bands can rock this song, but dont sleep on them smaller bands. They will wax you right off your own field. We were known as "The little band with the big band sound."

Started this chant back in the 80's when cameos song talking out the side of ya neck first came out and has been a staple in EVERY HBCU band that is around now. Check it out for yourselves. Just type in Tenn St Neck and listen to the superiority of the sounds... If FAMU band members can give them they praise and props then everyone gotta follow suit. I'm a Tenn St fan for life...but the FAMU band is just better, but not when it comes to this song.

    I normally do not have a comment on band videos, but I had to throw in my two cents. Tennessee State University's Aristocrat of Bands version is by far the most original arrangement of "Neck" and should have been on the list. I just heard the same sped-up version of a Cameo classic.

TSU is still playing the original version we played and has played it every year since. Count it 29 years and going. Also 1984 Ocean was the first to play Tribute to Bob Marley. Not bragging just the facts.

As the tubes played Neck bass line other brass sections got in on the party. One weekend later World Famed played Neck over and over during the game against Texas Southern. Neck was nothing but drums and brass.

    I loved the version at the ending credits as well, and didn't see a response to the questions as to who it was. I looked closely at the credits again....its the audio of Drumline Live's version of Neck...
