Hello - Southern University Marching Band 2015 - Filmed in 4K Bayou Classic Battle of the Bands 2015 Subscribe to HBCUBANDS.COM on CZcams www.hbcubands.com | www.bandhead.org
the only thing that would make this video better is if the girls in the front moved outta the way im here to see the musicians not to simp for some girls...bruh
It's really refreshing to see so many young people so passionate about music. This is why schools NEED music programs. So many talented kids with bright futures :)
I did orchestra for 4 years (3 middle school and 1 high school) and the program was cut..i was devastated. The band was left and learning a trombone was interesting and I loved it.. Found out I can't read music but play by sound..😄😄
For the people who say the trumpets are blasting, THEYRE SUPPOSED TO BLAST this isn't supposed to be musical this is supposed to be excited and get the crowd pumped up which is what they did. This was incredible
@@dkoda840 HENCE HBCU. DID YOU READ? OR WAS THIRSTY TO COMMENT. WE ALL KNOW FAMU IS GREAT. THEY ALL ARE WE BLACK. THAT'S WHAT WE DO. NO SURPRISE. ITS ROOM FOR ALL
I was there and I've always had a slight bias towards SU because 3 out of my 4 grandparents went. both my parents, two of my uncles and plenty of other family are all SU alumni. As a former band student I must say this rendition was great.
I'm 15, in the marching band where I'm the minority (I'm black) and I actually cried when I heard this because i feel like I'm missing out on so many things with my own people so that's why I wanna go to an HBCU school and the only motivates me more so thanks
After a while your lips condition to this style of playing it doesn't take long to strengthen them trust me being a tuba player I'd have real bad looking lips until I mastered cranking
Being a trumpet player in my marching band, I am in love with those high notes. I especially love how much everyone really got into the music and just had a good time. Amazing, well done!
its jxy To provide a deep, rich tone for the entire band because almost every instrument (except maybe mello and sousaphone) is very very bright, so the saxes and clarinets help balance it out. Every instrument serves a certain purpose otherwise it wouldn't be in the band in the first place.
its jxy I'm not sure because the brass section always seem to play really loud. But they should because it's one of the most "softest" instruments. That's why almost every band wants around 13 clarinets in a band.
Hi I'm a reporter for Business Insider. I love your awesome video, and was wondering if I could get permission to use it for a story. Let me know. Thanks!
Just here to say that the girls aren't cheerleaders!!! They are majorette dancers that actually preform when it's halftime and also when the band is playing throughout the game, which is common in these type of bands and some others, these girls are almost always with the band, their part of the band (of course not in the instrument aspect) they are the fabulous southern university dancing dolls with 50 years of tradition!!!
+Rimenuir Lumfatnur I marched corps style in high school and then switched to show style when I went to an HBCU. There are things i enjoy about both, but marching show style was my absolute favorite. It was war on the field against the other band and people came to the games just to see the bands battle. Dancing and playing at the same time was something else I had to get use to doing. Choose a great HBCU with a great band program to get a TRUE HBCU band experience.
Trumpets almost stole the show from the dancers. Almost. Superb performance. So moody and atmospheric. These bands are moving away from traditions and learning to do everything and anything. Love it.
Hearing these big bands reminds me of listening to the big sound of a choir. There are many parts, but they are all in unison with each other. I love it.
For the ones that never heard Adell sing her song hello she starts off soft and then she carry the song high SU played it just like she sings it im so proud of them
I am a proud Gramblinite. However, I must give credit to SU for this performance. I'm not alone based on the favorable reviews from Billboard Magazine on-line and USA Today! A diverse range of music and showmanship are what make all of our bands unique. Despite the unyielding loyalties to our respective schools, we celebrate individual and collective successes among our friendly rivals! So it is in the lyrical content of Adele's song that I commend "the Human Juke Box" and the entire SU Family by simply saying, "Hello from the other side...." (CDG GSU c/o '93)
The whole entire band sounded absolutely amazing. I'm a 7th grader and I play sousaphone and I thought we were good. This hand is definitely one of the most talented bands around. 11-10. Keep up the hard work.
While I am biased on having a color guard I can't stand people saying these dancers are "strippers"??!! This song is kind of limiting on choreography but these girls are absolutely gorgeous! The one in the front is literally perfection lol she reminds me of Drumline with Nick Cannon
Honestly this band is apart of the reason I fell in love with music, 1999 Southern Homecoming Parade I was 5 they stopped right in front of where I was standing on the road and did “No Trouble by C Loc” when I tell you it sounded exactly like the radio I had never heard music live before was completely blown away, forever grateful I got to experience that
It is 2020 and the corona virus dominates the airways, but, as a white person from North Carolina, I must say that this band is extraordinary and this performance is absolutely inspiring and demonstrative of pure excellence.
Man I love being black by popular demand...and this is exactly why! I'm here in 2020 and this is refreshing to know that Black Excellence will continue forever...them trumpets though!!! 🎺
They sound amazing. They have their own style and that's fine. People in this comment section are forgetting that music is to bring people together, not make it about what band or race is better. Smh. I'm sad y'all lost sight of that as musicians.

Question - is this from my home town of Savannah's Southern University? I loooove this performance. I love the intensely varied dynamics, the "laggy" tempo and cymbals, I really love it. It's perfect. Such a unique take. I don't care if the rhythm thing was intentional or not but I just love it. Love the crazy volume. Must have been awesome to be there.
People are coming in here making their comments about something they know nothing about if we wanted it to sound symphonic, that band is in the spring hence the word marching band, besides This band is from Louisiana it caters more to its own unique style where a lot of genres of music was born especially in New Orleans that's where this band get its brassy sound!! Do your research this band had been around for decades and have been doing big things and will continue just because "your people" just hearing of them means nothing! The y continue to put others above us but they will NEVER out entertain us! Forget Ohio state garbage band
Ohio State would run musical circles around Southern. Stop being ignorant. Be real. But peeps always use the New Orleans excuse as to why HBCU bands (SU and GSU in particular) tend to play loud like this and it's bullshit. It all started when rap music was birthed and became popular music. Before that, every HBCU band used a ton of musicality and only played R&B, ballads, and old school music. Southern was probably the first band to start writing aggressive arrangements and every other band after that copied their "loud" and aggressive style. The problem is a lot of y'all in the HBCU band world judge bands based on power now and how strong the brass section is. There are only a handful of HBCU bands that have both power and good musicianship today.
I rarely listen to these type of performances, as they typically sacrifice tonality for volume,(yes, I understand that is the style...but still) but I must say this was amazing! The hornline was so much in tune for the most part even with the rips. Very nice control! Good Job!
The sound quality of this video doesn't live up to hearing it being played live. You felt it vibrate through to your bones as It echoed throughout the stadium.
This video doesn't even do the Jukebox's live performance. When I tell you that hearing SU play this in person, it was HEAVEN!!!! I love the Jukebox and this song. TALK ABOUT CHILLS!
I can remember marching in high school and thinking college bands were so sophisticated. In my mid 30s and they look like babies lol. Good to see the tradition still forging ahead.
Thanks for watching, if you’d like to see more videos like this hit the LIKE button.
what state of collage is this cause the cheerleaders fine
Thanks
the only thing that would make this video better is if the girls in the front moved outta the way im here to see the musicians not to simp for some girls...bruh
Exactly I played 1st trumpet and you are correct
It's really refreshing to see so many young people so passionate about music. This is why schools NEED music programs. So many talented kids with bright futures :)
tell that to our school we have one its a good one just not well funded and no one but the kids in band and the director cares
LMAO!!
I'm from india and here all we do is study band and such thing barely exists here:(
I did orchestra for 4 years (3 middle school and 1 high school) and the program was cut..i was devastated. The band was left and learning a trombone was interesting and I loved it.. Found out I can't read music but play by sound..😄😄
I tell you its fun and a good thing to keep kids outta trouble ive been in band since the 7th grade
Those trumpets are insane....
Sound like screaming deamons hollerin from the depths of the abyss.....Ahhhh, what sweet sound to ur ears. #bandgrammy
+Shmea Shmea no
Indeed
not better river city drum crop
+Ahmad Jones They done a good job.
For the people who say the trumpets are blasting, THEYRE SUPPOSED TO BLAST this isn't supposed to be musical this is supposed to be excited and get the crowd pumped up which is what they did. This was incredible
*classical
AGREED. THAT'S WHAT HBCU TRUMPETERS ARE KNOWN FOR. KEEP THAT GOING
@@BLACKKING-zr3ex Umm no it isnt FAMU exist tf
@@dkoda840 HENCE HBCU. DID YOU READ? OR WAS THIRSTY TO COMMENT. WE ALL KNOW FAMU IS GREAT. THEY ALL ARE WE BLACK. THAT'S WHAT WE DO. NO SURPRISE. ITS ROOM FOR ALL
@@BLACKKING-zr3ex I misread your statement, I thought you were saying they are only loud, they are great and in tune but also loud
image how loud this was in person
I know right
T H E Y A R E S C R E A M I N G
I was there... it was something
I would pay so much money to see this live
I was there and I've always had a slight bias towards SU because 3 out of my 4 grandparents went. both my parents, two of my uncles and plenty of other family are all SU alumni.
As a former band student I must say this rendition was great.
I'm 15, in the marching band where I'm the minority (I'm black) and I actually cried when I heard this because i feel like I'm missing out on so many things with my own people so that's why I wanna go to an HBCU school and the only motivates me more so thanks
Alysia Porter II know it was 2 years ago you made this statement but I hope you made it to an HBCU?
Me too, I hope u made it to the HBCU u wanted to go too!!
wya fam
Oco ro lol u hating I’m weak
You there yet fam?
Rip the lips of every band member in that band...
naaaah, they're used to it, they have strong ass lips
+Andrew Liu And ears....
+A Random Person it's actually not that bad while you're playing tbh
MultiKool13 Oh. Ok.
After a while your lips condition to this style of playing it doesn't take long to strengthen them trust me being a tuba player I'd have real bad looking lips until I mastered cranking
Every last one of them was a shining star on that night! So beautiful to see young people giving their all during this performance. So proud of them!
Love this video. I watch it atleast once a year because of how much i miss being in band.
When they did the first chorus I got the chills and tears in my eyes
same here
+Katherine P Ok, calm down.
+Greg Denny haha :)
Same
because the Heavenly Gates opened
dynamic be like ffffffffffff
Nah still too soft
😂😂
😭😂
Tracer From Overwatch ffffffffffffffffffffuckitjustplayyourlipsoff

Being a trumpet player in my marching band, I am in love with those high notes. I especially love how much everyone really got into the music and just had a good time. Amazing, well done!
trumpets are just BEAUTIFUL
Anytime you see an HBCU band, expect a wall of sound. This is awesome!
This shows that SU is more than just volume. They have great technique and good dynamics.
The Dolls are some of the most graceful black women on the planet.
I feel bad for those woodwinds, they're probably all deaf now.
Seth Hartz what's the point of alto sax and clarinet xd
its jxy To provide a deep, rich tone for the entire band because almost every instrument (except maybe mello and sousaphone) is very very bright, so the saxes and clarinets help balance it out. Every instrument serves a certain purpose otherwise it wouldn't be in the band in the first place.
Jalen Sullivan true because i play clarinet and i feel like it makes trumpets sound better
Jalen Sullivan are clarinet even playing loud all the way or doesn't sound like it
its jxy I'm not sure because the brass section always seem to play really loud. But they should because it's one of the most "softest" instruments. That's why almost every band wants around 13 clarinets in a band.
Great work, but the chorus scared the crap outta me.
😂😂😂😂😂
lmao
+Your Malaysian Spycrab Thats why its called a hit :P
suppose to lol
+Your Malaysian Spycrab It's mostly known as abusing the living shit out of a screamer mouthpiece.
Hi I'm a reporter for Business Insider. I love your awesome video, and was wondering if I could get permission to use it for a story. Let me know. Thanks!
+INSIDER Certainly. Thanks for considering us.
Headline - Kids blow trumpets TO THE MAX!

Hell yeah... Somebody pissed the mellow OFF!
+Michael Dedrick Where is that that they got so mad?
Just here to say that the girls aren't cheerleaders!!!

I love hbcu bands, they are so much more fun than a lot of corps style groups (coming from somebody that does corps style)
Exactly why I'm debating on which college to go to this Fall...
+Rimenuir Lumfatnur I marched corps style in high school and then switched to show style when I went to an HBCU. There are things i enjoy about both, but marching show style was my absolute favorite. It was war on the field against the other band and people came to the games just to see the bands battle. Dancing and playing at the same time was something else I had to get use to doing. Choose a great HBCU with a great band program to get a TRUE HBCU band experience.
Tbh i feel like corps do have better sound but show style is just more entertaining
Trumpets almost stole the show from the dancers. Almost. Superb performance. So moody and atmospheric. These bands are moving away from traditions and learning to do everything and anything. Love it.
That wall of mellophone sound is so amazing
Hearing these big bands reminds me of listening to the big sound of a choir. There are many parts, but they are all in unison with each other. I love it.
Those trumpet high notes are awesome.
For the ones that never heard Adell sing her song hello she starts off soft and then she carry the song high SU played it just like she sings it im so proud of them
According to my husband, this is at the Battle of the Bands, so that's why the Dancing Dolls are there. They're part of the routine. He's a SU alum.
I am a proud Gramblinite. However, I must give credit to SU for this performance. I'm not alone based on the favorable reviews from Billboard Magazine on-line and USA Today! A diverse range of music and showmanship are what make all of our bands unique.

So it is in the lyrical content of Adele's song that I commend "the Human Juke Box" and the entire SU Family by simply saying, "Hello from the other side...." (CDG GSU c/o '93)
Finally someone who gives credit when it is due.
+Derrell Sam need to give that trombone player a helping hand @ 0:10 kmsl
THE SOUND, THE PRECISION. GOD IT GIVES ME CHILLS
No matter what happens, the entrance at 1:22 always puts a smile on my face. so epic.
Southern’s band is so good it make me wanna cry😭
I lost it during the chorus. Lmao I love it
As much as I liked Adele's voice, I loved those mello's
I love how they captured every piece of the song. The background instrumentals to her breath lol
I loved playing football against them just to get to hear the band in person.
this brought me to tears. so much passion. so beautiful. much respect to everyone who was a part of this. much love..
The whole entire band sounded absolutely amazing. I'm a 7th grader and I play sousaphone and I thought we were good. This hand is definitely one of the most talented bands around. 11-10. Keep up the hard work.

It is 2020 and the corona virus dominates the airways, but, as a white person from North Carolina, I must say that this band is extraordinary and this performance is absolutely inspiring and demonstrative of pure excellence.
Keep the music programs in school
Man I love being black by popular demand...and this is exactly why! I'm here in 2020 and this is refreshing to know that Black Excellence will continue forever...them trumpets though!!! 🎺
They sound amazing. They have their own style and that's fine. People in this comment section are forgetting that music is to bring people together, not make it about what band or race is better. Smh. I'm sad y'all lost sight of that as musicians.
This is amazing omg , especially the sudden outburst of music when the chorus comes ❤️
I remember watching this as a sophomore back in high school and this song still makes me get goosebumps
It’s crazy how everyone is shouting out the trumpet but no one is showing love to the mellos.
I see y’all mellophones!!!! 🔥💨
once again a beautiful arrangement by the jukebox
Some people say they are over blowing I say congratulations on great spirit and power
Absolutely beautiful Jukebox & Fabulous D Dolls ❤💛🐆💙❤️
GO GO GO TUBAS !! Abraços e Saudações Musicais do Brasil
this is my favorite song by them
they kno they killed this song. i felt so many chills i almost cried. i miss my band days
Major props to those trumpet players. Those notes they hit are some I could never imagine to hit myself, very well done!
Dude I’m a trumpet and holy crap when they came in I was so amazed by how good they freaking sound
For those saying “ThE tRuMpets aRe So loUd” THIS IS AN HBCU AND THEY DO IT BEST WITH BAND🥴🥴 NO OTHER RACE COULD COMPETE WITH US🥳🥳
Syd Stone why does it always have to about to be race man

The wall of sound when it drops will never get old

People are coming in here making their comments about something they know nothing about if we wanted it to sound symphonic, that band is in the spring hence the word marching band, besides This band is from Louisiana it caters more to its own unique style where a lot of genres of music was born especially in New Orleans that's where this band get its brassy sound!!

The y continue to put others above us but they will NEVER out entertain us! Forget Ohio state garbage band
sexiyella00 yeah no. The New Orleans sound is brassy but not blasty and terrible. Check out LA stars they sound decent. This band is mediocre at best.
Will Temp you high asf
Ultimate Pulsar sir listen to the notes
Ohio State would run musical circles around Southern. Stop being ignorant. Be real. But peeps always use the New Orleans excuse as to why HBCU bands (SU and GSU in particular) tend to play loud like this and it's bullshit.

MMB-Spartan, all good. I simply appreciate all Marching Bands for being their own unique selves, without generalizing. Diversity is key.
They killed this..
僕は日本人です、これを聴いていたら鳥肌がヤバイ!!
This is awsome.
I rarely listen to these type of performances, as they typically sacrifice tonality for volume,(yes, I understand that is the style...but still) but I must say this was amazing! The hornline was so much in tune for the most part even with the rips. Very nice control! Good Job!
If You are A Band Family you got to love this video there's no doubt
when the trumpets came in for the first time my jaw literally dropped to the floor ~ fellow trumpeter🤩🎺
I love this marching band ❤️
The sound quality of this video doesn't live up to hearing it being played live. You felt it vibrate through to your bones as It echoed throughout the stadium.
great job SU from a fellow SWAC alum (Alcorn)
They put their heart and soul in this!
Absolutely amazing I love this video how can they get so high notes 🙈 please share more videos like this
Thanks for watching, we've got a ton of them from a variety of bands on the channel, check them out.
1 million views baby!!
People hate these schools but they are actually one of the best to go to. Keep hypin it up
Man this song made my 57 year old a## wanna grab a trombone and start playing again...Salute SU...real talk
Who's here 2020?
Southern yall one bad ass band. Do yall thang. Great job.
This video doesn't even do the Jukebox's live performance. When I tell you that hearing SU play this in person, it was HEAVEN!!!! I love the Jukebox and this song. TALK ABOUT CHILLS!
I can remember marching in high school and thinking college bands were so sophisticated. In my mid 30s and they look like babies lol. Good to see the tradition still forging ahead.
They somehow managed to make me actually enjoy this song
I totally understand and agree, I looked it up to hear it love it
I'm in band I think this is really good and trumpets are post to be loud on some accessions like this one
As a trumpet and French horn player you look forward to songs like this
One of my all time favorite from SU
