  • didnt know Virginia state played with such crappy equipment

  • Cymbals <33

  • Real Talk. that cymbal player is a boss

  • @jpGWS2 no he is not

  • Im not even gonna read any more of these comments, I am just seeing this & very proud of my alma mater!

  • That cymbals is getting down!

  • Never seen so many haters at least VSU is in the white house they gotta be doin something right...not to mentioned that it's a hbcu

  • the right snare needs his hat down

  • needs.. more.. cowbell

  • what song is that

  • wats the cymbal player doing...this is not the time nor the place

  • @lastmanstandingtv So what drumlines cant groove? Visuals is everything in a drumline...

  • @striffyful actually I'd have to say drums and people are everything in a drumline.

  • I wonder if that is the first time part of a marching band has performed in the White House.

  • of course there all black....

  • OK. I'm just so amazed at all theHATERS and all of the stupid negativity. I'm sorry that your glory days in the high school band are over and now you are mad because these guys got an awesome opportunity. I'm sorry the only time you will be on television is with your coat over your head, your hands cuffed behind your back and the BAD BOYS theme song is playing. I'm sorry if your cousins BOB, BECKY and SUZY play the flute with their band and weren't selected. be happy for someone else.

  • fat americans lols burn some fat instad of punshing metal

  • they seem really really nervous

  • Lol to the symbolist...

  • @tmog66 LOL!!

  • @cds587 datz my niece on the cymbols!

    

  • @kymmanibaby Good for you...

    

  • Comment removed

  • @kymmanibaby Wtf are you talking about?

  • Comment removed

  • @kymmanibaby Okay and since you said "she is a BEAST!" it seemed unlikely to me that it was your niece and for the fact that you said datz.

  • @cds587 smh. ok, ok...I'm not REAL sure where YOU "are" , but for the sake of argument..."datz" is just a lighthearted "slang" term for the word "THATS". "BEAST", is not a derogatory term when used in this sense. It is actually used as a great compliment, and a term commonly used by some of my fellow DC residents.. SHE absolutely is my niece. "BEAST" meaning that she is an incredible MUSICIAN. she plays several instruments.

  • @kymmanibaby Yes i knew all of that but if that was infact your niece, it would seem to me that you would have a better choice on your vocabulary for "datz" and "BEAST" proving a point to myself that you are a mature person.

  • @cds587 you think WAY too much of yourself. I am not on you tube to prove anything to anyone except that we all are using this forum to express our opinion about a particular video. You don't know me, I don't know you, so as far as anything other than what people think of this particular video...I'M NOT INTERESTED. So now, back to the people who matter...those who are expressing what they think of THIS video.

  • Comment removed

  • @kymmanibaby Yes it was infact myself and hey, im a 14 year old who can't spell one little word right okay, it's not that big of a deal dude.

  • @cds587 It wasn't a big deal until YOU, a CHILD, got on YOUTUBE and decided that you were going to act like you are GROWN and chastise what you believe is an actual adult about sounding MATURE to YOU. If you are going to jump out there like a grown up, KNOW HOW TO SPELL, or sit your 14 year old behind in school, shut your mouth, and stay in a child's place.

  • @kymmanibaby IT'S CALLED STARTING TO BECOME MATURE. SOMETHING YOU SHOULD HAVE LEARNED WHEN YOU WERE 14.

  • Lol at the butthurt DCI fans

  • Dear Mr Obama. Could you please allow a few "all white" groups to meet with you, give a performance, etc.

    God bless America and to Obama, I am not sure how to give this comment to a Kenyan, Muslim Negro.

  • @bnjones28 dont hate kuz he invited ah band wit #SWAG unlyke dem borin ass whyte bands

  • @Kashyouz777 are you kidding me? this band is not into it. they look very nervous and like they are just goin through the motions.

  • @tmog66 i mean wudnt u b ah lil nervous playin in front of da president? C'mon Son think about it dat dont happen everyday

  • @Kashyouz777 THANK YOU!!!! Anything that happens at the WHITE HOUSE is AT LEAST national news. They had GLOBAL MEDIA THERE with CAMERAS all in their faces and (...wait for it....) THE DAG GONE PRESIDENT!

  • @Kashyouz777 i get what you mean but the way you type is atrocious. 

  • @tmog66 sorry i didnt kno i waz bein graded on youtube comments -_-

  • @tmog66 stop HATIN'!

  • @kymmanibaby its true im just jealous. i'd probably be nervous too.

  • @tmog66 lol. just joking with you. that was really for all the negative folk on here.

  • The president needs invite DCI drumlines out during the summer, show the world what a drumline really is.

  • needs more cowbell

  • idk why but this made me laugh other than that pretty cool it would have been better if it was one of the DCI drumlines lol

  • lol! the top comment is spelt wrong! haha

  • Santa Clara Vanguard is better.

  • @0ceanic815 dude these are college kids who dont have 9 hrs a day to reherse. just be glad these guys have technique and are actually clean. also they have to be good in order to go to the freaking WHITE HOUSE dude

  • 9 ppl

  • This line originally had 5 snares and 3 tenors but the others didnt make it past security

  • that cymbal player is badass.

  • @purplemusiclove96 THANK YOU! yes SHE is! 

  • *first note* SHOTS FIRED! SHOTS FIRED!

  • I notice that everybody was having some kind of fun EXCEPT the quad and snare drum players. :/ I'm in drumline myself (cymbals) and we have a lot of fun. We do a lot of visuals like the cymbal player. but the snare drum players need to loosen up a little bit more and do more visuals like the cymbal player. Although I do like the quad's solo :)

  • I see 9 people in this drumline..

  • @dEMuKi0 they were in the white house, the cymbal player was luck enough to make it, lol

  • Man that shit wS dry as fucking toast

  • And less than half of the drumline was there to perform so you can't disrespect their performance.. Vsu's Drumline one of the most technical drumlines of all hbcu bands.

  • For all the ignorant people commenting, the purpose of an hbcu drumline being there was for the president signing a bill for all hbcu colleges

  • that cymbal player got marbles to go out there and do that whole routine!

  • You guys calm down, you're all talking about why they put this wack southern band when they could have put a Drum Corp, of course a Drum Corp would play better!

    But Did you forget, the President is Black!

  • starting at 0:36 i just wanted to pull my ears off and gauge my eyes because of that horrid "dance" time to go watch some BD.

  • wow, my HS plays better stuff.. this was sad to see from a college.

  • @masterdrummer19 soooooooooooo, do you have a clip of YOU at the White House? uh...NO!

  • @kymmanibaby well if this was me playing then i wouldnt want to haha. this was pretty lame.

  • @masterdrummer19 actually, even though I disagree that its LAME!!! I appreciate the lighthearted comeback. intelligent people can disagree and still laugh about it. (again, they are NOT LAME). Did I mention that this NOT LAME?!

  • @kymmanibaby yeah lame was a little rough, but i would think they would just get something better for the whitehouse.. there are much better lines then this... idk if this is hs or college but ive seen hs lines better than this

  • @masterdrummer19 you have to take into consideration that they were very nervous. I mean, really, its the PRESIDENT OF THE US of A! The WHITE HOUSE. CAMERAS. I'm telling you, they are a phenomenal band. Also, like others have said here, that wasn't even half of the drum line. My niece, (on the symbols) was just a freshman, when they did this. so taking all of that into consideration, and the fact that, they were SELECTED should account for SOMETHING. C'mon! give a little! LOL!

  • I wish I could carry a band with me everywhere I go

  • @Miikaika25 me too. it would be kinda nice to have like a theme song, and they play every time I enter or room or leave...OH and after I say something. that would be cool.

  • When was tha last time U saw an HBCU band,drumline or other wise in tha White House.CONGRATS VSU!!!!!!!!!

  • ---- COMMENT REMOVED BY THE US SECRET SEVICE ---

  • @telorinodelhoyoo lol wannabie

  • Seriously? They should've gotten Bluecoats! Not someone that's going to stereotype the instruments even worse. Lol

  • AWSOME JOB KEEP UP IT UP

  • nice..but the cymbal dancing..yeah..not that hot..but liked it :)

  • look at there faces....... they look unhappy with what they do......you need to get crunk with your cadences

  • lucky sons of a bitches

  • If this was Cold Steel the Prez would have to pardon them and himself. Great job Va State.....dont forget to finish your degree and not hang around the VSU bandrooms all day

  • but we had our shine, yall didnt so fuck it idc, yall can die salty 4 all i care lmaooo

  • lol why everybody hating.. but yet yall werent choosen but we were.... obama chose us and not yall fuck ass schools... smh give niggas credit now-a-days keep it real, thas prolly why yall wont chosen,

  • i see ya Jazz!!!

  • So much hatred!!! Im loving it. Check this. How bout yall thats feeling salty call the White House and arrange ur turn. Until then all you can say is good job V.S.U!!!! Way to make history!!!!!

  • should have gotten a real drumline to do it... maybe from a drum corps perhaps??

  • @tly0327 dude drum corps are boring to watch. this was for entertainment purposes only. and just because its not drum corps doesnt mean its not a real drumline. and since obama is in office of course he would have asked a HBCU drumlineto perform cause they know how to put on a shw. all drum corps would have done in just played triplet exercises and rudiments. and repeating it over and over.

  • @tly0327 A real drum line, you sound dumb!!! You salty cause they made it to the White House, made history and you didn't. This not even half they drum line and they still killed it. The snare drummer on the left, my cousin will chop anybody up on the snare from your drum line!!!

  • @tly0327 how about u quit being upset about it. can you play like that probably not. ur jus mad cause cause your a rhythmless person. don't no one wanna see no stiff drum corp play. sure they look good and sound good, but its not what is fun. i know i play for one so real drumline that. they playin stuff you couldn't play on rock band on easy so dont hate.

  • Wow how could they make Dynasty's sounds like shit? >___>

  • Not that I'm salty....but why wasn't Howard chosen to perform?

  • Looks like the cymbal player was having an orgasm.

  • @Laughingmans6 don't make me cuss you out!

  • ok, i saw the white house, i saw the "raw footage" but... where was the drumline?

  • only for obama...

  • someone like big 8 or umass or unt shouldve gone.....

  • @rreemmzzrruullee no they shouldnt........it was for a speech obama was giving about increasing funding for HBCU's, and last time i checked the schools you named arent HBCU's. smh silly people

  • @rreemmzzrruullee those drumlines you named are boring to watch and besides this was about HBCU's and helping them get what they need. by the way there are great HBCU drumlines out there. if you would just stop being close minded about drums. people like to be entertained which is something PWC drumlines do not know how to do

  • @TheDragonmaster18 i dont know what the argument is, but im gonna hop in and say umass is an awesome drumline and can kick these guys' asses.

  • @Laughingmans6 the argument wasnt about who's drumline was better. the guy that i was replying to was mad that they had a hbcu drumline to perform instead of a pwc line. and the drumline shown here is not the full line. they have five snares 6 bases five cymbals

  • @TheDragonmaster18 i know, but even their full line cant compare to umass. look them up. youll shit your pants

  • @Laughingmans6 i have seen umass drumline. and this is not the current virginia state drumline go look up the 2010 drumline. virginia state plays a lot of drum corps stuff well the drumline does. these guys can play electric wheelchair and latin over those are some of their standard cadences they play.

  • @Laughingmans6 aaaaaaaaaaand.....where is their ticket to the white house? in the mail? not!

  • Ok first off considering its piece of the line, everything is chopped, and we trying not to overplay it was great. Plus until any of you out there can say yall played in the white house, go in your bathroom and drown yourself. HHOOGG-HHEEAADDSS!!!!!!

  • i count 9 people?

  • @fr34ksh0t this just a small group from the drumline. it would be to loud and as well to expensive to send the entire drumline and their equipment to dc.

  • @fr34ksh0t i guess the cymbal player doesn't count... :/

  • No intensity! they could have played that with more passion.

  • Tht was sick

  • Groove and dirt galore!

  • NICE WORK LOVE IT

  • lol My school has the exact same drums. 

  • Oh lordy.. Why can't they have a good drumline play...? Instead of shit

  • @Dizmixxx dude this is old check out the 2010 drumline. and this is good to say it wasnt the full drumline

  • @TheDragonmaster18 Wanna send me a link?

  • wow. just...wow. i'm also in a highschool line and that was pathetic. they got to go to the wight house for that garbage. this is whats wrong with america.

  • @pingshot28  and you still suck

  • @pingshot28 No. What's wrong with America is that people don't know how to spell White House.

  • @pingshot28 Before you enter a public forum attempting to criticize a college's band. You should learn how to spell correctly. You mentioned that you are in high school, well please stay in school and work on your spelling and the rest of your grammar.

  • V! S! U! V-STATE!

  • Comment removed

  • dynasty drums is no where close to VSU, believe that

  • wow they suck! im in highschool and our marching band is better.... also if they would have any drumline play have the cavaliers or the blue devils they are the best by far look them up!~dynasty drums r amazing

  • @ethanaxelson Did you not read the caption.. "An 8 person drumline from Virginia State University plays in the Cross Hall of the White House before an event honoring Historically Black Colleges and Universities". Now please tell me what the Cavaliers or the Devils have to do with HBCU's?

  • @ethanaxelson an what highschool are u in cuz thats sum I would LOVE to see.

  • @ethanaxelson dude you cant compare dci to an hbcu. to different styles. and this isnot the full drumline and as well this is an old clip. look at their 2010 drumline.

  • Go TROJANS!!!

  • yeah dynasty drums are the best!

  • YALL BASTARDS YALL STOLE THIS FROM LIVINGSTONE

  • @APIPHANYKILLA Yeah right if we stole something from Livingstone

    I live on a different planet are you serious?

  • YEAH! VSU! I LOVE IT! I LOVE IT! I LOVE IT!!

  • Damnit Bass 5, fix your playing areas while you are in front of the freaking president.

  • @halewoods48 Hey they are getting to play at the white house, don"t complain :P

  • @halewoods48 dude the president knows nothing about bass drum technique. and this is just for entertainment purposes

  • @TheDragonmaster18 I guess that's a pretty good excuse to not look your best then, right?

  • @halewoods48 they always stand like that

  • Put the carrier on first, THEN the uniform jacket.

  • WHOOP WHOOP! Love my school !! Trojan Explosion !!

  • well technically FAMU played for Obama when he was inaugurated. but that was a parade though :P. this is in the white house.

  • Isnt it kind of funny that everyone has something to say about what drumlines are better than VSU. MD better than OT, Cold Steel better than them, JSU, SCSU, JCSU, does it really matter?

    the reason why it doesn't matter what anyone says is because VSU is the 1st and so far ONLY HBCU drumline to play for ANY US President. Those are the facts.

  • jsu bertter than them-

  • ok ummmm kapital....u dont even march y u always talkin lik u been playin 4 lik 15 yrs...yo own boys at nsu b fryin u up 2 us so i wuld jus hush lol

  • my cuz in da VSU drumline he da snare drummer on the left and family over anything 2 me so since he in dey VSU drumline dey better i mean dat aint a gud reason but i lyk VSU drumline anyway but NSU is nasty i be watchin dey stuff 2

  • @datdrumaboy NSU always murderin them

  • @KapitolKartoon09 no NSU isnt i go 2 dat game every year if NSU drumline was better they wud be in the Whitehouse.

  • @KapitolKartoon09 no NSU isnt i go 2 dat game every year, VSU drumline better NSU nasty but VSU more cleaner and better and if NSU was better they wud have been in the Whitehouse.

  • @datdrumaboy so by that logic vsu is better than the blue devils drumline?? just because they went to the whitehouse doesnt mean there better. and in no way is vsu cleaner the MDF$. if vsu was oringal then why they switch drums?? cause they wont playing on dynastys at first.copycats.

  • @KapitolKartoon09 it dnt matter wat drum dey play on it be hot but luk i respect wat u sayin but in my opinion VSU better
