NC A&T - Bandroom Shenanigans 11.22.2008

[titoaamu07]

From a fellow tuba player..that I'm goin down was priceless...! Lol

[MagicArrangements]

OMG this is what I'm talking about!! AGGIE!!!

[dontajoe]

Well overall not a bad job. I value the musicality that A&T brings. However, the tempo and trumpets trying to scream wasn't a plus. AEA to the bruhz and RQQ to DA The Bloody Mu Psi……

P.S.-Im going down and Hay was 5 stars…

[Moneyeverywhere100]

[DiehardMechWarrior]

Where one would just hear random noise, the few enlightened (like me) hear wondrous music.

Good job! (This is coming from a guy who lives in Maryland, BTW. I'm very impressed)

[eldertillernc8]

[FreakNasty0814]

smh.....euphos man........euphos *sniff*. for some reason what they play at 2:04 to 2:07 gives me chills.....love it

[bruh6d9]

I'm not much of a "comment-er" but not bad at all T!!! That 'You remind Me" is hot!!! Whoever arranged that, put their foot in that!!! I wanna know who that person is for real! I just like "different, unique, and funky (groovy) arrangements!" As the show went on tho, it seemed like things were going down hill and people didn't know the music, but the momentum picked back up after "I'm Going Down." Overall, Tight ass concept and show idea! I love it!

[SpeechlessQue]

It was a lot to put together in a couple weeks. The way I arrange music is very technical and intricate, and to be honest, A&T as a band was not used to that style. To their credit, though, they put in a lot of hard work and really did get the job done. Not 100%, but I always feel that if a show is 100%, then you aren't challenging your students. It was a real pleasure working with them, and coming from I rival school, I really admired their work ethic and dedication...

[chopper6108]

Thanks Thomas for everything you done for us!

[porkboi]

Man, you are one monster of an arranger!

I admire your work, not just the music on this clip, but the arrangements you have done for SMB as well.

Keep it up!

[NSUBodaciousB14]

What school you grad from?.. and how long have you been writing for them?..

[SpeechlessQue]

I graduated from Hampton and have been writing for the Brooklyn Steppers for over 5 years and A&T for not even 6 months...

[NSUBodaciousB14]

Man thats whats up!!!! I'M LOVING YOUR ARRANGEMENTS,,, and i seen you did their honda music that SLOW TUNE IS FIRE... so are you on staff as a writer or you just was ask to do a couple of peices this season?..

[mEgAmUsIcLoVa]

OMG...you are awesome..i love the entire show...

[bruh6d9]

The only thing that really bothered me was the inconsistency of the screaming. I'm a fan of screaming, but only when its clean and done at the right time! No pun intended at all, but I'm sure SM can hear what I'm referring to. I have high expectations from this ensemble! I will see u guys at Honda!

[WalkItOut61]

no!...you dont no tight untill you sit all 250 members of the Spartan Legion in our small ass band room...O god and when everyone wanted to come back for honda...no space at all! Good job A&T...see yall at band brawl 09..we will be ready, hope yall our

[coldsteel0714]

Well we was Ready this year..and Passed out dat good ole L..but yeah see ya at Honda and tha Brawl 09!

[WalkItOut61]

honestly though..since returning home from kentucky late I feel we did alright at band brawl...we sounded good, just our crown reaction was minimized due to the fact that we had to play some of the same stuff from labor day classic...but i give credit where its due yall did ya thang but our spitit mix ate yall alive...and I feel we gave yall a good ol L in da 5th afta da game...fpr the simple fact that yall repeated alotta stuff from the battle.

[altosaxmachine]

sorry but i personally disagree. Them AGGIES spank that azz all around even the 5th and halftime. And Hot Ice didnt even come close to Golden Delight. Whats going on with Hot ICe? These past few years hasnt been so hot for them

[lilman4u]

what 5th quarter were u at??

[cougar9311]

i love the transition on tha 3rd song

[coldsteel0714]

For every one that wanted to know what its like in A&T's Band room..here it is! Total Cranking All DAY!..

[chopper6108]

Aggie Pride!! We just need a new band room! it is tight in their lol

[GoldenHorn]

You don't know tight unless you were in the old bandroom (pre-makeover), in 2003 with 235 other folks. I sat on a desk in the corner for most of the season during practice, because there was no room for anymore seats... or people. Fire hazard doesn't begin to cover it.

[tdjones1]

AGGIE PRIDE!! A LEGACY!

[tykeums]

This shit sound so damn gud i fail 2 realize y people just want give A&T da props they so deserve...its crazy but anyways excellent job a&t!!!

[darkbrotha33]

Loving the 2 part tuba groove at 5:30

[bammascreations]

do any band members play for the choir cuz i saw the choir in CT earlier this year?

great job on playing, n 1st trumpets did tear tht up.

[MrKeyz2010]

Yes they do!

[bammascreations]

That's what's up. I met Cedrick "Quikstix". He's mad cool and he's 15 minutes from my hometown in SC.

[MrKeyz2010]

Ight Cool! Ced is my boy!

[wildbill5]

[stacynewyork]

IMPRESSIVE!! They sounded so good coming thru my bose speakers! One set of instruments not overpowering the rest, I could actually hear all instruments! They did a good job!
