  • I remember watching this at home and the stupid announcer saying "why are they playing Rocky Top. That seems inappropriate." I wrote him a note that told him he obviously didn't do his research and if he did, he would know better. What a stupid comment he made!

  • You can tell it's cold when the band is about 50 cents flat.

  • Go VOLS!!!!!

  • at 1:28 it looks like biden says, "there bad"

  • Coldest parade ever!!!!

  • i didnt mean my last post to be mean. go pride go!

  • their playing rocky top really slow.

  • Kiffin's a fuckup and so's this president

  • just to let you know dude, Obama sure is doing a hell of a lot better than that stiff Bush ever did. He's actually doing something about our country's well-being and healthcare instead of just sitting on his ass the whole time not doing anything to help improve the economy.

  • @TrumpetHero11 yeah that extra 2 TRILLION dollars he's doled out has worked WONDERS! Just yesterday, both Standard and Poor's and Moody's Investor Rating formally WARNED the United States their AAA credit rating was in jeopardy. ENJOY your hyperinflation and thirty-dollar loaf of bread, you financial wizard, and probable UT graduate! Kiffin's STILL an asshole, ansd so's THIS PRESIDENT!

  • oh i caught 1 of the girls looking at the president shouldnt she get suspended like the fire fighter did jk

  • I saw them that day, it was great to see the band there! Go Vols!

  • The best thing that happened that day

  • Would you like to share a clip of your school's band from the inauguration? Oh I forgot. Your band probably didn't march in the inauguration.

  • This day was EPIC. Dude go Vols!!

  • Nothing against the band, they are a good band! However, you can tell the video was edited to make it look as though the President was actually paying attention to them. Anyone with an uncut version of of this, check for yourselves.

    Side Note: ROLL TIDE!

  • Did you happen to notice the word "live" up in the left hand corner? Explain to me how they edit a "live" broadcast. Oh, wait, your an Alabama fan so you just could not resist being nasty. I didn't see Alabama's band in the parade. Or did I miss that?

  • The word LIVE stayed on the ENTIRE broadcast! I know, because I have a copy of the ENTIRE event. Therefore, editing is EASY to do. Also, I went back, on MY uncut, unedited video of when the Vols Band was marching by. The president was CLEARLY shown turned and speaking to dignitaries in the booth.

    Don't take my word for it, get a TRUE copy and see for yourself.

    With that said, I thought it was RUDE as hell for him NOT to give his attention to them, just as he did some others. They were GREAT!

  • Also as further "evidence" from THIS posted version. Check out the word LIVE at 0:58 secs into the video. It wiggles and squirms. Also at 1:27 into the video, listen to the sound and see what you hear. Did the band just STOP playing and then start again? NO. It is edited.

    And, as I said before, I think the band is EXCELLENT! I have seen them in person playing and they are always fantastic! I was NOT bashing the band here. I was making a FACTUAL statement that the Pres should have been watching!

  • Thanks for clearing it up. It came across wrong when I read it. I'm sorry I misinterpreted your intent and I apologize for being sensitive about it. My kid is in the Pride and had endured almost 12 hours in the freezing cold to get to march that event. Thanks for supporting the Pride. They work really hard. Us band parents can be sensitive and I'm sorry I misinterpreted your comments.

  • Thats ok. It's easy for people to get sensitive about their loyalties, but especially so when it involves their children. I have a daughter in high school in the band and she will go to Alabama in 2010 where she will continue in the band. Anyway, no foul, no harm. It was FREEZING at that parade and the band was playing their hearts out and the President was turned and talking when they passed. I thought it was very rude of him considering everything. They were invited on his behalf!

    Go VOLS!

  • Good luck to your daughter in the Bama band. She will have a blast. My son loves being in the Pride.

  • My girl was there, but dear lord, they all look super tired. Great job, to the pride, ill join you soon

  • GO VOLS!!!

  • My favorite part it when you see Biden turn to Obama and you can see him mouth the words "That's a big band". The best part.

  • The Pride of the Southland never fails to give me goosebumps! Wow. You have to give it to those majorettes, too, who were twirling with gloves on and probably freezing to death. What an impressive showing!

  • Oh man I'll bet the guard was freezing too! They only wear one thin layer more than those majorettes!

  • The Pride of the Southland Marching Band stood head and shoulders above the other Bands. Only 3 military bands could compare. The President had been looking a little bored and talking to the Vice President prior to the Pride coming by. Both the President and the Vice President had to stop and take notice of the Pride of the Southland. "Sharp"!

  • i so wish i would have went to collage after school so i could have been in that band!!!! thanks for the video.

  • Taking Rocky Top to the white house is great....Go Vols

  • I would just like to congratulate all of the members of the Pride of the Southland and thank them for representing our state for the 12th consecutive time at the Presidential Inaugural Parade. No other college band has ever done that. On another note, this is not the football team and it is not even close to football season. There is absolutely NO REASON to argue over football here. Pride, thank you again.

  • Please take your football opinions elsewhere. This video has nothing to with football. Thanks, bye.

  • thanks for capturing this!

  • Coming to an ass-kickin near you...Fall 2009!

  • Best band in all the land! Go Vols!

  • Awesome!!! I'm proud to be a Tennessee Vol!

  • This is awesome. Go Vols!!
