the dancing tubas

[MrFatphucker]

Virginia Tech is such a nice school in a beautiful part of the country. Too bad 95% of the students/alumni are d-bags from northern virginia. Maybe the sousaphone players are in the other 5%

[missunderstood209]

You have to be shitting me. This is the greatest thing Ive ever seen! And Im a sousaphone player!!!

[1YORD5Z72t]

[emo0random0kidds0TA]

Oh mY Gaww im in loooooooooove! xD

[FeebiDraven]

CORRECTION! - Sousaphones*!

[FeebiDraven]

@reptifreak99 nope, its definitely a sousaphone, all the other comments are saying it is as well, idiot.

[FeebiDraven]

Respond to this video...  Also, if your going to be so defensive about it and start calling people fags and retards, your starting problems for yourself. I feel like I'm talking to an immature 7th grader.

[reptifreak99]

@FeebiDraven wow nvm im am a seventh gradeder lol midlle school band and i play for rec band

[trevorlange]

@FeebiDraven CORRECTION! SAME INSTRUMENT!

[FeebiDraven]

@trevorlange Correction, they are not the same. In marching band if you say "tuba" you are referring to the marching tuba which looks like a concert tuba that is being played on the persons shoulder. A sousaphone is an instrument that wraps around the players body with the bell over the left shoulder. Yes, both instruments do have the same fingerings and can be interchangeable with one another if necessary, but they are not the same instrument.

[eddyrayy]

@FeebiDraven

correction to you too. What you're calling a marching tuba is called a contra.

the instrument in this video is a sousaphone. they're both very common in

marching bands everywhere. the tuba is technically the large

three valved instrument you see in a concert setting. however Tuba broadly

refers to sousaphones, contras, miraphones, and the standard BB-flat concert

tuba. tuba is the category, while sousaphones, contras,

miraphones, etc. are the sub categories if that helps you

[FeebiDraven]

@eddyrayy Thanks, I know its a contra I just couldn't think of the word. I know that the "tuba" is a category, but he was being a bit of a smart ass and I thought I would put him in his place. I just got annoyed with the way he had said it. When most people hear tuba they think of the concert Bb Tuba, not a Sousaphone, the point was that they may be interchangeable, but they are not the same instrument. That was the whole point, I never meant to start a petty youtube fight, haha.

[eddyrayy]

@FeebiDraven

ya of course. i know what you mean. i wasn't trying to start any fights myself haha. i make fun of the people who do. i just meant to inform that's all :)

[eljireh7987]

@FeebiDraven Band nerds and there corrections

[FeebiDraven]

@eljireh7987 CORRECTION! - Band Geeks* and their* corrections.

[eljireh7987]

@FeebiDraven hahaaaaaaaa

[FeebiDraven]

Correction*- Souzaphones!

[garthphantomlife]

Man I wish our tuba sectino was this cool.... but this wuld definitely make the fact that I'm a 5 foot even tuba player and a girl hit pretty hard :D

[Appalachianbluegras2]

[ihateall95]

[vorheezy313]

Its sad because when I was in marching band we never did anything fun like this. Everything had to be perfect. Never had a a chance to let loose. Winning competitions isnt everything.

[jollyjay14]

[kisamechic11]

What is it with Sousaphone players and always dancing in their shows. But man this is totally BEAST!!!!!! GO TUBAS!!!!!!

[JMAJ95]

[fuzzzydice0788]

I'm pretty sure this is Virginia Tech. Saw them perform this my freshman year of college.

[betaboy4916]

[snickwah79]

I was a tuba player in this band from 92-95. This was so much fun. We also did this sometimes in the end zone in the break between the 3rd and 4th quarters at football games in Blacksburg.

Good times.

[Frenchhornbird]

notice that the closest end tuba, during the chorus line, is a little late on his first kick.

[ChuCkyKiLLER001]

who cares Frenchhornbird. it was still awesome

[willyhuber]
