Horsepower vs Bodacious LDC BOTB 2007

[Grnvolpe]

Can anyone tell me how band music became such a part of black colleges

[sousaphoneMonster]

@Gentleman1911 I look forward to being there.

[sousaphoneMonster]

@Gentleman1911 he played tuba for tha 2007 year then he was a DM. He's the asst director at JCSU. This is Kai Parris. And no he wasn't crankin and he still can't. We settled that at practice one day lol. He even admitted I blew on him in front of the WHOLE band.

[Gentleman1911]

@sousaphoneMonster 2007 huh, well yeah, this clip will really is a nightmare for him then. LOL. Keep up the good work man. Hope to see you at VSU in the future.

[sousaphoneMonster]

Lol my band director was a tuba player at Norfolk. I love yell HORSEPOWER!!! When he walks in the band room at practice. And I love rubbin this video in his face wen he be playin around sayin that I suck cuz I like horsepower. Our band director is cool as heck tho.

[Gentleman1911]

@sousaphoneMonster LOL, what years did your director march, maybe I have footage of him to see if he cranked or not. LOL.

[Eusi1984]

[thatatlnigga]

[xboxxxxxxx1]

Do You Not Here Them Go Down Like 5 Or 6 Octives Thats Like Taking a Shit On A MArching Band

[ChangeWontWait]

[ducksauce92]

sumbody fucked up!! lol

[MrHotBoy74]

lmao 3:43 hahah wat happened?

[adkii07]

3:43? Should a sousaphone be making those noises?

[euphoniumtillidie]

Don't think so!!

[adkii07]

beautiful sound at 1:12 - 1:28

[tubasrule2012]

@adkii07 AYE CHECK THAT CHORD AT 2:38

[WestfieldTuba93]

i wanna learn 2:17 - 2:36

[Bladeballer57]

Vsu made nsu bend over and raped them\...... VSU tubas on the best stuff around

[tkalion92]

wuts was dat dey played at about 1:32?

[sousafreak1]

Glissando

[zuantuba]

1 Girl Shouts louder than 24 Sousaphone!!!

[KapitolKartoon09]

this is 07 they didnt hav 24 they were in teens like 17

[KapitolKartoon09]

thats not 24 horns out there this 07

[tkalion92]

daym i jus bcame a horsepower fan;; dey sumthin serious

[trc919]

bodacious should be killing people with the size of their section. they scrambled to hit high notes.

horsepower was legit. bodacious blows

[DaGiftandDaCurse4]

all i kno is the nigga that stuck out in the fanfare for NSU git FUCKED up at the ummm private meeting....lol

[CrushinBassDrumma]

lol, tru

[757PercussionSTS]

I mean who CAN't hit a pedal. lol.

[goldenbull43]

the only reason bodacious finally stood up to horsepower this past yr was cz they souped up and had 24 or so sousa... who cant produce volume with 24 sousas??? only SU with their fiber glass sousas... bodacious is real solid, but horsepower is just on some other stuff when it comes to all tuba sections

[PHSMustangSAXPlayer]

Juke Ta geTTin Sumwhere wiT Dey fiBerglaSS... They louD They juST DnT have Tone qualiTy unDer Da BelT... They wuD kranK wiT Sum BraSS oneS lol

[mrlayemdown]

horsespower got niggas scared right nie

[bookercity]

Ok i just dont get it!! NSU is OBVIOUSLY a better band. In fact, their my favorite band but it seems like Horsepower be BLOWIN on Bodacious every battle! NSU got them in every other section but the tubas...they need better fanfares and they need to display their technicality all lilttle bit better. Being loud just aint gon cut it with Horsepower

[nuphiomega1apollo]

it was alot different this year.h.p was still nice but bodacious put it down son !

[bookercity]

oh really? i went to the game but didnt get to catch the battle

[nuphiomega1apollo]

well bodacious left nut juice all of horsepower ! lol both sections were goo but bodacious came to play this year !

[bookercity]

well they need to keep it like that. i mean i love me sum NSU but Horsepower be giving Bodacious the business!...i guess we'll see what happens next year

[EsSpecialProductions]

The only serious problems i herd from Bodacious was when they kept tryin to play high and was splittin tones. When i first saw how deep they were i thought Horsepower was about to get they're faces blown off but it seems like NSU keep letting their size go to their heads...

[bookercity]

Yea and is like their not a bad tuba section, it just they could be a WHOLE lot better....size isnt everything

[sbg2010allday]

That's the exact same thing i said.......NSU is possibly my favorite band but Horsepower be MURDERING Bodacious

[bookercity]

Right!...let's see what happens this year lol

[joshcheste1]

How high are they playing at 2:20?

[ballouknight08]

i can hit the notes hit at 5:13

[mpmcd81]

Damn, put the euphoniums with these guys at VSU and you could get a group that would rival the TTU tuba ensemble.

Shaw ain't bad either...

[beckett81]

shaw got some raw tuba fanfares too

[luv4HBCU]

Yeah Shaw got that bottem to them

[Btonezone]

Damn that soloist is goood.....and i think its funny how the sections with less people usually play louder and better than bigger sections...

[LadiA095]

im sorry but come on tuba's i kno u can do betta den dat but i still got luv 4 yall doe

[peoplesdad]

never heard a tuba player do that b4

[mustang20XII]

oh sorry sir i b3liv3 you was SUPPOS3D to stop playing th3r3 lol... .... dont worry HORSEPOWER BL3W ON YALL ANY DAMN WAY HAHAHA

[thebestalive213]

[COFOLIFE]

Ayo that tuba roar(growl) vsu did was so...(no words)

[Memphisbeast]

[Knextlegend]

i've always liked VSU's tubas

they got a style that sets them apart

no disrespect to NSU, i like y'all tubas too...and of course your vicious trumpets!

[xavierspies3000]

well im sorry for that but i jus like vsu a lil better than nsu

[bboud29]

Good Batman stuff at the end, NSU. Love the pedals.

[poeticgeisha]

YYYEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!! Go the fuck off!!!! VSU got this battle!

[008legionrookie]

xavier watch ur mouth ! who do yu march w/?

[bignastypsi]

Hey shouldn't of said it like that, but NSU got waxed in this video.

[marchingbandman]

i like this

[Pcclancers1996]

VSU is always going to be the shit.nsu is crap.

[xavierspies3000]

vsu killed nsu nsu suck like hell vsu all day Horsepower f*** Bodacious

[Ceobeatmaker]

hey X thanks for the love, but regardless of if they did well in your eyes or not, NSU is still a reputable music program and band so to just outright toss an F bomb on them like that to me shows your lack of respect of what their band does as a whole and individually.

you can say they sucked on that day, you can say they sounded bad, but I advise that F bombs be left out the equation less you probably get cranked on by them yourself.

[portcityllstar]

imma tuba playa and nsu just horrible on highs and lows thats why u have sectionals

[bookercity]

Ova all NSU is a betta band but i aint even gon lie, Horsepower b eatin Bodacious!!!

[Godfather1898]

fatgurl...Just out of curiousity what is your name???

[fatgurl1991]

well, at Morris Brown my rookie name was buff. I think I know you. T Phi M uuuooook lol....... whats up

[Godfather1898]

Okay...What's up with that username? LMAO!!!

[fatgurl1991]

man I'm under my sister account name. I just haven't taken the time to create my own lol....

[fatgurl1991]

I under my sister account tubaharris, but I played for Morris Brown tuba section 2000-2003 and I also graduated from ASU in GA. what high school did you attend

[Gentleman1911]

I graduated from Oscar Smith High School in Chesapeake, VA

[Gentleman1911]

Oh yeah, I was section leader at VSU 91-94

[TheWwwaaazzzuuuppp]

@Gentleman1911 could you help me out how do you do tht thing at 1:30

i need to know how so i can play it in a song

[keenanhigh]

That solo at 1:31 was raw boi

[naruto9374]

i like 1:29

[polevaultsickness16]

Hey man you guys are pretty dang amazing you blow my socks for real. i have one question though where can i get arrangements like this? i lead a section at my highschool and we have rival tuba section that usually whoops on us please i could use the help

[Gentleman1911]

Thanks for the compliments but we do not have written out arrangements for our fanfares. Everything is taught and memorized within sectionals.

[riddic586]

1:11 is gorgeous!!!

[riddic586]

alright...

[riddic586]

would they make exceptions? even if im a highschool student? what if I were better than most of the ppl in the line? (hypothetically speaking)

[Gentleman1911]

Sorry man, it doesn't work like that. Wait your time, graduate and go to college. That's the only way playa.

[riddic586]

what do i have to do to be one of the players? do i have to attend that college?

[Gentleman1911]

LOL, yes. The first group in Navy and White is Virginia State University. The second group in Green is Norfolk State Universtity. Both in the wonderful state of Virginia.

[riddic586]

how do i get into one of these? do i have to attend that college?

[Gentleman1911]

The event is open to the public. Tickets run about 10 dollars or so. It is held every year the Friday before Labor Day down at Norfolk State University in Norfolk, VA.

[Legionbass08]

Hey guys...raise your hand if you were there this year...no...no...ok then, exactly

[sousafreak1]

shut yo crab ass up! You sound like a fuckin prick.

[everettejc]

LOL!!!

[tragedydareaper]

damn someone need they ass whooped

[westlandlynx]

cool

[younghoush]

dude horsepower you can stop killin nsu every year

[everettejc]

NO!!

[SaxAppeal14]

VSU jammin as usual man...NSU, that octave change in Mission Impossible sounded like pure shit...im sorry but it really did. You guys have battled VSU before, you guys knew what you were up against.

[westlandlynx]

this is very nice RESPECT

[perantucci]

yo gentleman1911 is it ok if upload this video to google

[Gentleman1911]

Go for it.

[CO0LTUBE]

lol, this already goes to google vids

[futurecrowntrumpet]

ok u guys can stop "assraping" NSU i got the story. nsu didnt know they were gonna hav a battle so therefore they didnt work on anything kick ass. like usual.

[Gentleman1911]

This was not the first year of these two sections battling. They knew they were coming into a battle. No excuse. They are a good section and they just did not prepare like they should have.

[NANAface2314]

NSU just cant get it together and beat VSU. they MIGHT have had them if the guy hadnt f'ed up the end of the mission impossible theme.

[NANAface2314]

AND if they could actually get good tone quality on their pedal notes. horrible horrible horrible. and hit the right high notes? wow.

[mrbojangles5491]

are the horsepower and bodacious basses competing again this year? when will the video be up on youtube?

[tray91drummersop]

Aight terrance i hear u boy

from ya nigga tracy

[screwitup512]

why do yall keep assraping NSU!!!?

[Pooty21]

NSU tubas suck ass for real

[VagueTheory]

Not really.

Virginia State is just better.

[XXEmoGurlHBXX]

haha,that is sweet I play the sousa in marching band it rox=]

[babasboi]

It's a damn shame what yall did to NSU. Imma have to check out this year's LDC. What do yall have planned for this year?

[Gentleman1911]

It all depends on the needs of the band. Since most play more than one instrument, if we need them on Baritone, Trombone, horn or trumpet then sometimes we have to move people.

We don't always keep the strongest 10 either. One year we had 22 tuba players but the director was not going to let us keep everyone. The 10 are strong with the size band we have. If we get more trumpets then you could possibly see our numbers increase but right now we are just low brass heavy.

[Gentleman1911]

Labor Day weekend.

[Gentleman1911]

Man, color ain't got nothing to do with it. We run the squad like everyone is a tuba player. Not gender, everyone does the same thing, all or nothing. We have one white guy on the squad now and will probably have another one in 08.  Everyone carries their own weight.

[tubaharris]

can i get in on that line i bee looking for a line that does not just blast all the time

[Gentleman1911]

Come see us when you graduate. Keep in contact with us.

[tubaharris]

i'm aready out of high school and in collage ASU in he GA.

[Gentleman1911]

Well in that case yeah. Always looking for good players man. If your interested in transferring hit me up and I can put you in contact with the director.

[tubaharris]

give me a contact to hit u up

[icntuba1]

i want to be a part of horsepower an im the tuba section at I.C. Norcom

[whteby2011]

like he said color aint got nothing to do with it

[WitchPsy2]

You know. Im the only tuba player in my schools marching band. and i could probally almost outplay the second school...

[Ceobeatmaker]

lol

[Brandon561]

i highly doubt that...

[alriko2047]

that solo kicked asssssss

[RhythmSenseii]

Teachable Moment:

Your reputation will always precede you. Horsepower continues to build on theirs as an "A" game. That reputation NOW warns others, you MUST bring yours. If not...disaster will strike.

(Bodacious) Ask your next door neighbors(MDFS)of this concept... Any HBCU drumline will tell you, we MUST bring our best game when battling MDFS. Not because they can play better than us, but because their reputation of being one of the BEST does.

ADJUST, within!!

[Svtubaboyclass09]

Bo you sound like Yoda.. "adjust within you must" lol... naw i agree with you though.

[certifiednigga]

imma soon post a video on here wit some sousaphone from the bahamas search junkanoo u would here so bahmian brass players

[Svtubaboyclass09]

for nsu to have like twice as many tuba players they sure aren't louder, like always vsu takes it

[icnbtone]

dats shows dat numbas dnt matta

[jonesboy84]

I know I have said it before, but dammit Imma say it again. VSU has the best tuba section hands down. I ain't never heard tubas go like that before in my life. They on some supernatural talent in that band. It's scary the way they play.

[Irock124]

Man, you said it.

[trumpet1ksax]

5/4

[tiffnsd4life]

what time signature is that NSU fanfare in (the part at about 3:20, the mission impossible theme)

[Ceobeatmaker]

there should be a law banning us from all competition...these kinds of fanfares just aren't fair to people

[kre8tivekidd1]

Yes the Solo is from House of Prayer

[bbt4980]

yea i was on sousa

[missiondude]

Dang bodacious basses always get owned by Horsepower

[bbt4980]

u talkin bout wit a sousa n trombone

[jwhawkins6]

yeah good stuff on both.

[ajchin26]

Horsepower is the greatest of alltime!!!!!!!

[jwhawkins6]

Solo at 1:34 did that like I haven't seen acceot another Youtube High School kid...hmmm doing a Jodeci song

[sousafreak1]

huh?

[xfactor0192]

that second group got owned by the crowd

[jwhawkins6]

that is so cold becuase they didn't have to scream like baritones just to prove they were cold...so much range at once. Petle tones kill everytime. that solo was too nasty!!!

[montecarloryder]

man horsepower KILLED it

[goooogle45]

When don't they?

LOL

[mrbojangles5491]

what is vsu's song called?

[everettejc]

"Spanish Dutch"

[21brandon]

what is a good sousaphone mouthpiece? dont say anything 24aw because if u ask me, that is the wors thing ever, unless u r a begginer of course.

[rickardstubaman]

schilke 69c4

[goooogle45]

Last year Vsu killed with the 12 so this year they only brougth 10.

[whteby2011]

vsu only had 10 at LDC last year

[goooogle45]

Your right i saw the vid again and counted. I feel stupid. so....GO VSU!!!

[whteby2011]

its all good

[meatbag65]

i do have to admit VSU had better fanfares last year

[babasboi]

I disagree, I think the fanfares were equal. In 2006 Horsepower gave you an aspect of the horn that had never been done before. On this clip, NSU tried to copy that aspect from 06 and Horsepower delivered an entirely different aspect. I have no doubt that NSU will attempt to copy Horsepower's style from 07, but VSU will have something totally new and different.

[whirlwind1991]

Who is the guy with the solo for vsu ?

[Gentleman1911]

Terrance (Cooper I believe) Freshman from Richmond, VA

[whteby2011]

actually he's from newport news

[goooogle45]

HE IS AMAZING

[dashow31rule]

I see NSU "trying" to do what VSU already did in the 2006 LDC battle.

[oldchevylover]

that second band sucked the penis

[sousa090]

if anyone has the solo part writen out please send it to me
