We are in Fayetteville, NC. The chances of us getting to Memphis are next to none. However, we will be at nationals in Atlanta this weekend. Are you all going?

[carlosmorrisonii]

[khafre06]

Man, we know about you all. Whitehaven is the truth, you all took it all last year. You all did your thing. Your Drum Majors were off the chain.

[prettypiccolo11]

Man they need to do another jamboree so yall can come! I see this other school here talks shit about yall all the time. Mr. Shawn, yall need to invite them. I know with the budget this year it may not be feasible (or is it

) but perhaps next year.

[lilchris227]

Its their band room their rules, closed doors and all! Who are you to judge how they play they music in they band room.

[WestsideCheryl]

I like it whether you play it fast or slow.

[prettypiccolo11]

He is just a hater trying to get some attention....

[THEgreatsnarechopper]

westover always hold it down

[snare4lyfe08]

no they dont and why yall practice yallz shorts so slow

[khafre06]

This song can and is played at various tempos. We just slowed this one down in the band room for the fun of it. If you watch our other vids, you will see that we typically play it much faster. Who is your band, are where are your vids?

[THEgreatsnarechopper]

everybody else know we hold it down so it dont matter what u say. what u mean our shorts so slow?

[nbraden93]

i couldnt really tell whut wuz goin on but i really gotta give it 2 dem bones!!!! dey wuz off the chain.

[bonephi]

thanks my dude

[marteenus]

One Comment, Check out Southwest Dekable High School Band, Now they got Swang off the chain!!!

[prettypiccolo11]

I can't find a Southwest Dekable. What state are they in?

[khafre06]

prettypiccolo, SWD is no joke. They are one of the biggest high school bands in the country. They are in Dekalb, Ga, right outside of Atlanta. They are the band that played Atlanta A&T in the movie Drumline.

They are alot bigger than we are, but it is not like we would not represent.

[prettypiccolo11]

Their jamboree set just had sound and size. Other than that they were sloppy there. I am sure it was just the atmosphere.

[marteenus]

They are in Atlanta Ga. All you have to do is type in SWD 2008 and see what kind of band they are. You guys are good, I'm not taken anything from you. But to get on SWD level you guy have to take play very seriour if you want to play like them. check them out. They are just that good.

[prettypiccolo11]

I still could not find it (Swang). I did look at your Jamboree set however. You play your arrangements differently than what I am used to hearing. Are you are not resting on the fact that yall helped with the movie "Drumline"? Kinda messy. Your girls were sloppy. I'll admit you have sound and size but I did not see anything special. Enjoyed Stephenson's show however. Seen Columbia too. ATL bands always say they are so much better. But right now, it's just words.

[marteenus]

I got something for you to check out, look at Southwest-"skin I'm in" , and look at southwest "king Back" by T.I. Let me know what you think when you see them.

[prettypiccolo11]

I enjoyed the Skin I'm In. I compared the King Back with ASU's King Back. I liked the musicianship but the song does not move me. It appears they are very live in the stands! I love that. I am going to the Spring Jamboree so I will see them first hand

[ch5289]

Damn them bones was playing

[zoolugurl]

i go to the westover in albany and we play Swang, but wit the trumpet part we go higher, then lower with the notes, not lower then higher like yall in NC. still good though.

[prettypiccolo11]

I wish both schools could get together

[Beast19]

Who arranged yalls version of Swang? When I arranged ours i taylored it to our band, that way the range and instrumentation ft. I would love to see a vidoe of yall's version.

[bonephi]

lol. nigga you tryna be funny or something? everyone know yo country ass arranged it. jay'thanelle

[Beast19]

Good job, wish I could have been there. I know yall had fun for me. And this the original Tempo, stop speeding up my ish.

MSPH c/o 08

[prettypiccolo11]

Where are you at now Beast19?(school)

[Beast19]

Southern

[ch5289]

Let me be the first to say I am so happy for you... from one Wolverine to another!

Southern is my favorite university band. Too bad we do not get to see them much around here

[BrowneyedSAX]

I like this. Seems like yall slowed it a little but its still hot

[ch5289]

looks like the alumni were having fun lol
