[nickhigh123]

Madsion Scouts 2011. That's the real Empire State of Mind:)

[Salsadivva]

[MrTae254]

[MarcusButtin]

What are those trombone players doing.....sheesh lol

[SUJAGSFALL85]

Coming from Old School Juke (T-Bones Fall85), the trumpets was over blowing and the trombones as well. I know we can do better than this please play with more pride, be the great musician that we are known to be. Much Love C-Slim!!!

[Deltravar1]

this sounds awful.

[Skholar1911]

In all respect and love, I can see that the arrangement is brilliant, but the over-blowing and unnecessary octaves (Trumpets) kills it!!!! I noticed that you guys do it on alot concert arrangements as well; example being Two Hearts....GREAT arrangement, but the trumpets and trombones don't have consistency. BIG diff between MEAC and SWAC.

[christop7610]

IM JUss sayin yu can do better

[divinedvon]

Yea dont get me wrong I give props to any band coming from a Trombone player myself but I wasnt exactly feeling this one it was ok...Maybe because they not in a stadium

[Coltrane1914]

It sounds better when they crank in the stands smh

[brittalley]

I don't understand why most people think this band is so great. All they are known for is over blowing and taking eveything up WAY to high.

[jaquartez2raw]

why do the trumpets always take things up like 3 octaves?

[MrLildude5]

ok tht was last year ... dis year see dem beat jsu ass

[PlatinumGamingg]

Overblow, blast, eww, thumbs downn

[MrTukester]

So someone please explain to me why the four Bones in the front were pulling like shit? Pulling doesnt do anything but encourage shallow breathing... Smh at you Mr./Ms. Section leader, thats band camp stuff yo'. A few hours of left leg up after every practice they do it, ought to fix that.

[TheTaetae155]

yea they were to them bones be goin in the front

[MrJSU2010]

TRUMPETS WERE RUSHING IT AND SOUNDS NASTY WHOLE THING.

[shinkutan]

[MrThatNWord]

wats dun n da dark shall come 2 lite!!!!! Su sounds good from a distance lol but this vid reveals errthang......

[manny310yankeez]

Dayum T-bones!!!

[TravisCyprien]

@nigelholland3 What you are saying is true each band is different.

[TravisCyprien]

The Problem i see is that each member of the band is over blowing each other. Which you should not because you can bust you lips by doing that. Plus Trumpets are high notes correct but over blowing is not the way to go. But i think Southern Sounds good. The band has its ups and down but they sould good during showcase.

[xXxMoTionZzz]

future trumpet player there or sax player ;)

[eezybreezy18]

My future school :))

Trumpets all da way!!

[bmorema410]

[shoffnerx12]

southern yall still on yall shit keep up the good work

[boopashoup74055]

Ohh lord. Pitches people, pitches. And what's with the blasting? You guys are good, but no one can pull off all of that.

[ndhland]

@boopashoup74055 Maybe because its Southern why do you think they are blasting...SWAC...

[Parahdoks92]

2:20 ... AHHH OMFG!!! Those TRUMPETS!!! They're like freaking NEEDLES!! They just go STRAIGHT INTO YOUR EARS!!! Sounds so freaking amazing!! I LOVE that sound!!!!

[Michaelswag23]

bandroom they they did real good

[Matt201215122093]

..... I'm a lil upset with SU. They way they are standing makes it sound bad and there is way to much movement in the band. ..... thumbs down SU. Needs improvement.

[Pharoe29]

Worst I have heard of SU but take in consideration their location and bouncing sound etc... but on another note you can't hide hang over notes, bad tuning, bad intonation etc..

[LadyCheeks97]

@Pharoe29 exactly! they ALWAYS over-blow and it messes up the songs completely!

[Sheezey]

I don't care what y'all say, they gettin off..

[grownbaby2]

like a big high school!!!

[bamm602]

Whoever posted this video must definitley dislike Southern. This video should be removed definitely not a good respresentation of the band. Sounds like a train wreck...

[TEEZY241]

doesnt sound good

[SonicBoomC98]

Woulda better to record this from the side so its kinda more like a dance formation and you can get a better sound on every instrument

[aristocratify]

Stop blowing so damn hard and create some music. Good lord!

[UNI770]

Them Trumpets Wack!!!



[503cute]

[stawartrecreant12]

[Diemotherfkr]

Im sorry but that just didnt sound good....

[bhaitianking]

@Diemotherfkr NO, they were very good, it's just that because the camera was to close to the trumbones, you couldn't hear it all together
