This is one the better perfomances of Big Ballin!!! This JD Woods (Fall 1997 Mellophone) ,I'm the arranger of BCU's Big Ballin' . I'm appreciating the comments on here
Kedarispimp has a point...I support "the PRIDE" musically as always, but it does seem like we are getting a little away from our roots, which has been strong middle brass harmonies, and fluidity of soung. I don't want us to become another one of those SWAC "woofing" machines just for the sake of popularity.
As a "100" member, I have much respect for the BCC. For the past several years, they have cleaned up a lot of their weaknesses (tubas have much better tone and are not just splatting notes). As a 13yr arranger myself, no "arrangement" is truly original. That's what defines the term "arrangement." The arrangement is tight (no matter when it written). I did hear some articulation issues, but overall I'm impressed.
Apparently, you misunderstood my very first sentence. I'm not hating on BCC, I have much respect for them...especially on how they continuously improved in the past several years. But I also call it as I see it....good arrangement, good intonations, questionable articulation on that song.
Yet another smash hit from BCC. Great job mellophones!!! By far BCC has the best sounding mellophone section; their sound is mellow, clean and smooth not overly bright, stuffy and nasal like most other mellophone sections.
This is the band that inspired me to join my middleschool band and learn everything needed to become a great musician...i'm a 100 member now..but hats off to the Marching Wildcats!...you guys are cool with me...looking forward in seeing you @ the Classic ....peace&blessings!
i actually like this version alot better, and im not jus sayin that cuz im goin 2 bcc.... when nsu does this song, they have sum 16th notes at the end that climb up and they can never really play that part clean..... but i do like and respect them though
LMAO !!! <smh> thanx for stopping by once again. I jus luv people like u. So positive and morally fit for society. Clearly the only angry one is you, so let me just be the mature one and stop entertaining such childlike ignorance after this comment. Thanx and blessings, from me to "The Pride's" #1 fan. :)
First of all I am an alum so I can say what I want. I don't like when other HBCU bands take from other bans and try to claim it for themselves. It is not my fault you new school members dont have enouch pride to speak up for what is yours. You can love them all you want, but trust, they disrespect NSU alot.
I LUV NSU AND ALWAYZ HAVE !!! THERE ONE OF THE ONLY BANDS THAT I RESPECT ALONG WITH FAMU, BUT WHEN U TRY TO COME INCORRECT THAT'S WHEN I STICK TO THE PRIDE OF MY SCHOOL AND DEFEND IT !!! BUT SINCE U GRADUATED PLEASE CONTINUE ON WITH YOUR LIFE AND STOP ENTERTAINING SOME CLIPS THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU. THANX !!!
PLZ. No point of being ignorant. I marched for NSU and I love Cookman and FAMU. If hOnda isnt the setting for the Legion, then oh well. Yall need to stop this nonsense. Makes the Legion look bad.
Well I can believe that a student arranged this bececause BCC did not play Big Ballin until A&T blowed it on them in 2001> The Aggies had to post up behind The Goal Post because the Band arrived to the game late due to traffic and BCC had sold there seats. The then small band with the big sound gave BCC an eye opener that game and woke them up. How I loved the smaller addition of A&T. They had a Killer Instinct mentality when they showed up and showed out on whoever.
You all did not play this song until later. Did you even ask the writer of the song if they copied off of others? If not, you can not speak for him/her. Thanks!
I like how you all took the baritone slur from NSU's version. SMH. Can't say you didn't because NSU put that in there arrangement in 2001, then MBC put it in theirs in 2002, then BCC.
First and foremost a senior wrote this in 2002 for an arranging project, so this is solely original, and let's say he did happen to take it from them, can u blame us for initiating it a lot better and cleaner. And clearly ur ignorant to the fact of instrumentation, because those were mellophones playing that in our arrangement. But thanx for your support and please continue to look all of our clips up on you tube and listening to them so closely. HAHAHAHA !!! THANX FOR THE SUPPORT !!!
I never said you all baritone play the part. Read stupid. I said you all took the baritone slur from NSU's version. NSU's horns also play that part, so you just proved that you all mimick off NSU's arrangement. That part is not even in the real song. That person being a senior has nothing to do with them biting off of NSU. NSU has been playing this since 2001.
1nce again...notice the comment "initiating it a lot better" thanx !!! LOL !!! and 1nce again thanx for stopping by, listening, and hangin on our nuts. The Pride lives for people like u. LOL !!! KEEP LISTENIN' !!! SEE U AT HONDA OR WILL I ??? NO INVITE RIGHT...OKAY...LOL !!!
I see you have no logical comeback because you got off topic. Actuallu you all hang on NSu nuts because you copied us. lol You proved my point. The Honda comment does not bother me because I graduated before Honda was established. Lol.
Actually it is my business because I was in the band when it was first played. As long as I give back money it will always be my business. Stop lying about stealling.
what else can I say !!!?!??! we are some beasts...and yet every1 says, southern is going to blow us out...southern who ??? LOL !!! Yall betta play horns !!!
i LIKE THAT and then what 05 bcc..SU'S IS TWENTY TIMES BETTER..BUT IM JUST FN WITU..YALL GOT A FYE BIG BALLIN, LETS GO,AND EARTHQUAKE TUBA FANFARES..BUT THATS IT..FACE IT YALL ARRANGEMENTS SUCK
And SU had mind blowing, technical, good sounding arrangements right ??? hmmm...I dont think yall had a featured audio for an international movie, or a cadillac commercial, or used in the daytona 500. Mr. Poitier is one of the most sought out arranger's in the nation now, who also received his master's in trumpet performance and arranging from The American Conservatory of Music. By the way, what's Southern's Arranger's name again ??? hmmm....
