I think its hilarious that VT plays a warmup exercise first, and then gets it shoved back in their face.

There is a reason the big 8 is "often imitated but never duplicated" and the chiefs are "world reknown" and tech is not. Nothing against their band. Not like they can't play or anything. Not to mention that it was mentioned by a va tech member- what do we have? The reply by another hokie was- nothing. Chiefs won fair and square.

i'm a huge virginia tech fan, always have, and i personally love our Stick It In cheer... rip..

but FSU set a standard for the modern drumline, every highschool and college drumline wants to be them. and if they don't, they're idiots.

blackdragon2875 4 years ago

bullshit!!! no show style marching band wants to be like FSU!!!

however, the big 8 is very talented as a core style drumline. if i was interested in core style bands that would be my first choice of schools!!!

I hate to break it to you guys and girls but VT were not even trying to do a Drum off. Tech was just playing a few warm-ups and some random stuff. They never planned it to be a drum-off. If they would have found out that FSU wanted a drum off they probably would have won.

Only one small problem with that. VT's band is only known to the local hillbillies who attend the games. The Marching Chiefs is "World Renowned" baby!

Cirux321 4 years ago

Well it seems that our "local hillbillys" kicked your "world renowned" drum line's ass.

Manofmanyinsturments 3 years ago

that's your opinion, but here's a fact for ya; you damn sure didn't win the game!!

gandiesel 3 years ago

FSU won that game. They won the drumoff too.

;-)

jcherrybon 3 years ago

Actually we did win the game. We also won the drum off.

Wait, did you watch the video or did you just guess?

bucketeer67 3 years ago

you can not be serious

jb60587 3 years ago

oh...i must have been watching another video...I just saw VT playing some high school warmup and getting freakin schooled.

VT kiddies need to go back to middle-school band class if they're gonna play that slow. They put way too much emphasis on their xylophone/ bells.

Faster/ more upbeat playing and more "tunes" would describe a decent college band, they earned their win.

I would certainly give FSU a superior, whereas VT on this video, I would be skeptical to. In short FSU won by a landslide and to challenge that would show a person in denial.

FSU sucks VT is a hole lot better then FSU. the only reason why they "WON" is becase they can play faster and they have more tunes

redtic 4 years ago

So what you are saying is that VT is better than FSU except in the area of playing and knowing tunes.

Way to go.

Kwchief09 4 years ago

No. They 'WON' because they captured the crowds attention. That is what they were intending to do. Not to 'play faster' or cleaner, but to entertain the crowd. If you want to sit there and think that FSU and VT did this to see who is better, then you're wrong. They are drummers who are having fun together. Nothing more.

Dragon150043 4 years ago

I don't like the comment about the warm-ups. Yeah FSU can pkay all that fancy stuff, but can they play double beat clean? You have to be able to play the basics clean to play anything else. I'm not saying they wouldn't be able to. I'm just saying that just because VT's playing exercises doesn't mean they aren't as good.

drumbum593 4 years ago

Or, they're cleaner and have better chops than VT. Plus, they can play faster that way. So, I guess that would make FSU a WHOLE lot better than VT.

i hate to break it to ya but beatin the VT drumline isnt sayin much altho fsu owns xD

VT pretty much got their asses handed to them.

I still don't see why you'd want to use bells in a line. It just doesn't sound good, plain and simple.

StringsofMartyr 4 years ago

Wow... No, I think you both lose. First off, no one cares about the Big 8. Is that even a conference any more? And FSU's cadence sounded alot like something I played in high school... Sad? Yeah, kinda. I'll bet it was fun, though... Embarassing, but fun.

Cmarvmellow 5 years ago

I think you're referring to the Big 10. The Big 8 is the name of the drumline at FSU. If it sounds like something you played in highschool, its because your highschool copied us.. like many highschools in Florida and the surrounding states.

avioias 5 years ago 7

Safe to say V-Tech got there ass handed to them.

zphim7 4 years ago

Yeah, totally copied off of FSU. And yeah, Big 8 is totally the name of the Drumline.

BiggestofMikes 4 years ago

FSU automatically wins because they dont have bells as part of their line, and they play traditional. Their stuff was way better too. They also tuned their snares better.
