[MrPastor40]

MBC was a BEAST Unleashed.

[cnj393]

I know MoB fans are going to go on the attack for this, but who cares. This little MoB is 1,000 times cleaner and more cohesive sounding than the prime Morris brown ever was. Get them numbers up and keep this level of pound for pound intensity and they will be the business.

[datbandguy]

[atbarr1911]

The Song is Called "Spot Light Groove" it was arranged by a MBC student Jacob Henry I think in 98 or 99, he was a tuba player, I know b/c I was in the band and played it the first time it was played at practice. It was an instant hit!!!, We march down the field to it that same week, It was an original piece. I have no idea what inspired him, but it was our unofficial trademark!!!!!!

[topyas1]

omg i love this song

[Spongebobthegreatest]

*cough* it was by a former student

[jkfnbkwjsn]

MBC AINT GONNA HAVE NO BAND NEXT YEAR.

[DTerminatorII]

@topyas1 LMAO I am one of the ORIGINAL Tuba players and was one of the Tuba players when Jacob Henry was the section leader and composed this song. THe song is Spotlight Groove and its basically a mixture of some of the heavy hitting songs we played back then.

[dachinky0ne]

[mo1217]

Morris Brown, I wish you all the best in your quest to return. As a graduate of a fellow Atlanta University school,You are missed. GOD make it happen.

[TheNastyBone]

Y did the band pragram at Morris Brown get shut down in 03

[LRTuba]

I believe the reason why they lost their band department was becauseMorris Brown lost their accreditation as a school but Im not absolutly sure.

[TheNastyBone]

Oh and they sound so gooood in this video

[SHINE912]

They lost their band program because their overheads was stealing the money from the school which cost them to lose their accreditations. They can only give out degrees for two Majors now if I'm right.

[ch5289]

First of all, it is sad that people are fighting over whether MBC is back or not. It is INHUMAN to want this instititution to fail. The financial issues surrounding MBC has to do with a greedy bitch making up students to get money... That doesn't have shit to do with the love of a great marching band...

[GAred1976]

I don't know who keeps putting out this lie that Morris Brown is coming back 2009. If the Southern Accreditation of Colleges and Schools acronym for you short bus people SACS, has accredited them nor paid off that debt, students would be stupid to apply for an institution that isn't stable in that aspect. You would be wasting your money. So, until that is CONFIRMED BY SACS, I would not trust anything the college is putting out to recruit students. I am sadden at it's demise being an HBCU Grad!

[thebeauduy]

so its not tru. theyre not gonna have a band in 09?

[GAred1976]

Dude, if Morris Brown doesn't get accredited by the Southern Accreditation of Colleges and Schools aka SACS, they will not have school. Forget a band! All institutions across the country from high school to college have to be accredited by them, in order to, legitimize your diploma/degree, as well as, receiving financial support by the federal government. So, until Morris Brown can publicly state they are accredited or go to the SACS website to verify the truths of their accreditation.

[jordan711endsley]

NON-Accredited schools: Berklee of Califonia, Juliart, Harvard University, Berklee School of music

[Chris121091]

They have a band now...but as GAred is saying they are not accredited. And IF they have a band, i doubt they will have a football team. So you would be in the band...with nowhere to perform

[SWDBASS]

they have a band! put in morris brown 2008 and it will pop up

[GAred1976]

Yes, I have seen the youtube, which to me doesn't say much or does raise the question unto where the priorities lie. My people need to wake up and realize in this state of economy trying to solicit donations is vital that they establish a sense of priority and public view that they are actually being RESPONSIBLE to bringing the college back. Again, they need to allow either Tom Joyner or Oprah to take over the college to get it out of debt and rid themselves of the AME Board of Trustees.

[SWDBASS]

i do agree with that

[blackboi678]

YES!!!!, that is wat me & my dad talked about. i totally agree

[MRDIVO101]

FUCK YOU SMALL DICK BITCH .

[GAred1976]

I don't talk to children!

[MRDIVO101]

whatever im not a child .

but your not on the sacs commitee so just shut your mouth about morris brow n

[GAred1976]

LOL...Stop crying, dude. If you care about MBC so much, DONATE, ACTIVATE, EDUCATE! I am a product of an HBCU unlike yourself. So, I can understand what MBC is going through. They have been going through it for years. It was just the inevitable. I don't have to be on SACS Committee because if I was, I would give Morris Brown 2 choices a) replace the members on your Board of Trustees with business men not pastors of the AME church or b) you will be CLOSED LITERALLY!!

[MRDIVO101]

child bye ! save this bullshit for some one who cares . i know they going to get it back so im not worried about you or no one elese out there . ok .

[Chris121091]

Do you get erections from DOWNING Morris Brown? Yes some people are over-confident but you are taking it too personal. How about you go get a job at SACS and help give MBC a chance? I support and school that supports the education of black men and women.

[SWDBASS]

um excuse me not to be rude or anything but....WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!! did you give to the school? i mean its pretty hard recovering from something they went through just because of 2 people..AND YES THEY DO HAVE A BAND IF YOU DONT BELEIVE ME PUT IN MORRIS BROWN 2008 BAND ON YOUTUBE...and they are trying they have hope scholarship and are reapplying for the first time in summer of 2009

[MRMSSIMMS]

what did the 2 people do

[SWDBASS]

the president and someone else stole money out of scholarships from students and was buying laptops for students..and also taking there families on vacations and they didnt even go to jail.

[mic2great]

what iz da name of that "song!!!"

[SHINE912]

Name of the song is"Spotlight Groove"

[MsuPnut]

[bluesteelchoppa212]

i think because of drumline the movie people think that morris brown wasn't that shi# but morris brown band is a legendary that will always be a favorite

and speaking of drumlines (or percussion sections)morris brown was the best on earth

[jonesboy84]

Morris Brown has a good drumline. I don't think they have the best drumline. There are too many good HBCU drumlines out there.

[22Zildjian22Illusion]

name two...!!! hmm???

[jonesboy84]

Chocolate Thunder and Funk Train.

[22Zildjian22Illusion]

have NOT heard of them.(Chocolate Thunder and Funk Train). must not be best of the best in HBCU.. I'd even say two pretty good ones compared to SS would be MDFS(NSU) and ScSU.. thats about it.

[jonesboy84]

OMG you need to learn your HBCU drumline nicknames. Chocolate Thunder is Grambling State University's drumline and Funk Train is Texas Southern University's drumline.

[MarioKing08]

Now I Kno U Lying Grambling??????? LMAO

[SHINE912]

Yes MoB(Morris Brown) did blow GSU out of Herdon Stadium it was not even fair but hell it was nuttin new GSU couldn't match their power or cleaness

[bbt4980]

yo dats tha mjorris brown i kno im mad they not comin back until im already in college but 2 dat bitch 97cavie shut tha fuck up u probly do march wit 1 of those wack ass, walking, corp style bands yall need 2 sit down n take notes cuz yall need 2 get schooled

[bigsted]

sounds good but i can be better tubas was nice

[joosjoos]

thats awesome

and im white, and in a more militaristic marching band, destined for perfection.

its just different goals that bands go for, so no one should be stating their opinion

but i like them both styles

[Cutiepie2008luvsTai]

I kno you see Morris Brown High School, Dougherty High at the bottom! Yeah! Class of 08! You kno!

[ATLDUDE08]

Nobody talks shit about the people in them purple & white costumes cos they know what they audience wanna listen to, especially if i had two cousins (twin brothers, btw) in the band, 1 section leader for trumpet and the other a trombone. Like myvids892 said to 97cavie u need to sit yo white, corp-style marching ass down somewhere and learn how to play somethin besides Christmas carols at a fuckin varsity football game in SEPTEMBER, ya cock-suckin tranny.

[Ridebmx34521]

listen 97cavie probably didnt play christmas carols at a fuckin varsity game in SEPTEMBER he probably played way harder marched a more demanding show than morris brown had... search dci on you tube and google video look at cadets 2003 cavaliers 2002 cadets 2005 any of the onld school santa clara stuff you can find back around mid 90'sand cadets in 87 even blue devils

then tell me if u hear christmas carols

[Ridebmx34521]

now dont get me wrong i ejoy show style... but it needs 2 be clean and not suck

[eddie090909]

HOLY SHIT! I WISH MORRIS BROWN WAS STILL AROUND! God i love that band

[myvids892]

Trust me you fuckin losers I was in the band when we played that song and its just the poor video and sound quality, we sounded much better in person

[97cavie]

Every band (I'm not gonna call that a "marching" band) Just plain sucks!!!

[myvids892]

you know what "97cavie" you don't know what real marching band sounds like you seem like a guy who march for one of those white bands that walks instead of marching, this is what a marching band should play songs like I know you watched drumline those are real bands we put to must time and sweat into what we do just for some loser from a white band that walks and glides across the field to comment.

[toomuch4ya2007]

Haters man...

[nubletcake]

mellotofer had it right; this video sounds like crap.

[toomuch4ya2007]

The band in the Maroon and White is Dougherty Comprehensice High School Phantom Trojan Marching Band out of Albany, GA

[sujags06]

WOW

[SHINE912]

i have been to some morris brown games and i love they band i love them like i love FAMU band they are good and loud and clear you can't ask for more

[DrummaBoi0789]

Man I remember them good ol' days back when Atlanta was where u wanted to be when it came to bands. I miss Morris Brown. This brings back so many memories.

[silkysmooth89]

what band is that with the white & red???

[ATGA]

That was a HS from Albany GA Doughtery I think

[mbcwolverine00]

That was Daughherty HS from Albany GA

[brenbaus]

damn i hope morris brown opens back up so i can get to a school with a REAL marching band, considering they were the only GA band you ever heard about!

[Kappadawg]

mellotofer = lame arse...STFU

Damn I miss Morris Brown...Definately brought a lot to the AUC institutions. Hopefully all will go well and back to normal soon.
