It's funny how everyone hates on SU but don't realize all they bands are doing what SU does...Jackson State took their cadence...South Carolina State marching with their designs everyone doing the bend back like SU does it...my dad was in the band when the drum major did that for the first time......and everyone else just started a few years ago....I got it on tape....SO SU haters are some blind idiots
@Heyshobiz Speaking on SCSU's behalf, no formations or designs SCSU does were created or owned by SU just to be clear. Everything that ANY band does comes from someone and/or somewhere - that would be the band director. Since Mr. Knighten - SU's former director - is now at SCSU, NATURALLY he would conduct HIS philosophy, HIS teaching style, and HIS directing skills with the band he currently works with. All of those things are very much independently of SU.
bout time SU bone got the spotlight...i think they are the most unselfish bone section of them all...they take pride in crankin them chords on EVERY song....
Man southern cranking and screaming and famu is all about techinalcailty and rite notes (not saying su missing any notes cuz the not) they dont scream not cranking just a full sound
I always give credit when it's due, and this is excellent. Power WITH sound quality. Seriously, this sounds like the Juke I grew up listening to back in the 80s. Keep it up.
@jgutter34 ...next time...read everything in it's proper context, before jumping the gun and calling someone a du'mass, aight, young'n. It'll surely keep YOU off the du'mass list. smh...sheesh.
I've never been a fan of the SWAC or Southern until this year. They definitely displayed a lot more versatility, balance, and cleanliness. Big ups to the Jukebox.
I wasn't saying that to say that Southern has never displayed musicality. My comment was that I wasn't a fan of theirs until this year, and that their musicality had IMPROVED. I'm giving credit where credit is due, SU is the truth. And this is coming from a MEAC band member.
Not sure about improved cause to be honest alot of alum have a different view. SU has always been up there musically. Simple minded people just get caught up when they play stuff like "And Then What' or something. Know the history before u comment is all that being said
Man if I didn't know any better I'd say that was a MEAC band finessing that thang like that. J/k, but this is definitely an awesome clip for the Jukebox. Big ups.
Please do not put SU and FAMU in a catagory together. SU is a much better entertainer than FAMU has ever been. FAMU is over rated. BCC is better than FAMU these days.
@NotYoBand you are one of my favorites for that comment!!! God bless you!!!!!!! somebody spoke the TRUTH!! Yes I have FAMU videos and go to FAMU but I went to Southern for 2 years and I miss the hell out of SWAC Bands with a passion!
This one is NICEEEEEEE!!!! I would put this put there wit a clip from FAMU. I could use more bass though. If them boyz could keep that bass fat and round during the loud parts, it would drive the upper voices even HARDER!!!!! But I love it anyway.
Im sad to hear Knighten is leaving. He is an awesome arranger and a needed presence around the SU band these days, wit these bad ass kids being the way they in the "new" generation. And if u've spent at least an hour near knighten then u know this....
TnSU answerd with.......happy feelings....#FAIL lol
