Transformers/Earthquake

[usafjohnson]

In Marching Band, a band size is measured not by how many people they have, but by how many Sousaphones they have, for they are more noticable.

[DarkendByFire]

[Mellieo160]

[SPHSdrumline]

White* whales

[SPHSdrumline]

[hyperteener]

[BrettByFlip]

Actually, a sousaphone IS a tuba.

a convertable IS a tuba.

Doesn't matter how many times you bend it, or what style you paly it.

a tuba is a fucking tuba.

[Namelessbmx]

This is cool

[punaboy12]

[TwoBitism]

@saxesaresexy lol mine too XD he's really tall

[TheRealChewbaccaBC]

All of the blats <3

[cstahl24]

this is a great example of tubas at their best. I just can't figure out who plays the melody here. Too many tubas we have like 5 and you guys have 20. The sound we get is like nothing compared to these guys.

[TheNamesApple]

@cstahl24 i was watching closely, the 5th person from the right is the only person who's hand can be seen moving quickly to different places, i think it may be that person ^-^

[ThaEubronium]

people who dislike this should b impaled

[Redz9150]

Wow that's a lot of tubas we only have one in my band

[fartingputty]

skinny legs here can conduct.

[slytherinslut16]

The amount of tubas here is roughly the same size as all the brass players in my band times two.

[Charlibre50]

alavergaaa

[daniemusik12]

They sound okay but im familiar with a slower more in-depth version that brings out the chords.

[Sodrott]

omg! my eyes are like O.O

this is great:D

[twininsider]

Its does sound like a bunch of farting but they are farting in toon

[ZwingertStudios]

@extremelystoned screw you not farting, it's music!

[sasuke03221]

when the sousas play.. all hell breaks loose

[Banjeyming]

OMG BEST SOUSA SONG EVER

[jinxynot]

that was pretty good

[masonxm9]

this seriously made me think of how much of a better tuba player i could be, I love this lol

[ExtremelyStoned]

Fart fart fart fart fart.... fart fart fart fart fart farttttttttttttttttttttttttttt­tt

[BOBEAUX5]

He ain't got no shoes on.

[skahn49]

WHAT THE HECK IS THE CONDUCTOR WEARING

[SystemicMusicality]

@skahn49 An orange shirt, and grey athletic shorts. He also is wearing appropriate underwear, and he is not wearing any shoes nor socks.

[NinjaOnANinja]

Makes me think of little mac.

[kriptihigh]

dey sound good and all but can dey play it wit out lookin at da music dat would make dem a better section

[TrumpetMan1996]

@kriptihigh how does not looking at music make you a better section, exactly?

[kriptihigh]

@TrumpetMan1996 dats just da way i learned how to play with out da music

[TheDavid1525]

I like it, wow! for me, this instrument has a big personality. Please people, search for "Glissando Ensemble" and tell me what you think, thanks

[TheBeast3120]

he doesnt have any shoes on..

[matigol1993]

its like Dragon Ball's tension moment song

[Jusb81]

Great ideas, fresh sound but you guys really need to work on the tone and sound quality... too many of you are playing way too loud and losing tone.

[SheWhoPlaysBaritone0]

I spy a girl player..

[randywilson95]

@SheWhoPlaysBaritone0 second one in from the outside left

[theultimaterobotkid]

@SheWhoPlaysBaritone0 i c 2

[masterflamewing234]

I wish we had more base players out our school im the only one that plays tuba and sousaphone when we play for a concert i play the baritone.

[wrestler123ist]

This Sound Like Fast Version Of Slow And Easy , (A Fanfare We Play.)

[GuytanoMartorano]

Actual there are several different types of tuba. Sousaphones are the ones blowing their brains out above. "Contras" (contrabass Tuba) is the marching sholder tuba that Can be a conveted to a Concert tuba. a marching tuba is most commonly assosiated with a Bell frount Concert horn Used befor Sousaphones and Contras were Created. Basicly there are alot of tubas used for many Different reasons, Such as the Lusophone.

[MrIplaythetrumpet]

The background kinda looks like a green screen if u pause

[TheCnh]

@MrIplaythetrumpet its our band field

[TheMegalon225]

I should play this for my school

[Mattsblog49]

the director doesnt have any shoes on

[two3swisha]

@Mattsblog49 so tru



[thesqaanalyst]

Love it!

[BattleMaster1013]

Just so everyone knows, what they are playing are sousaphones, the kind of tuba that you have over your shoulder is called a contra.

[instrumentalambition]

this is impressive but I just they had darker tone :( it's sounds like bari sax

[xXxPhuker]

Frekkin Awesome!

[COOKIEMONSTERATHOME]

Does anyone else think this sounds like some type of rhythmic chain saw?? (btw i love tubas, i play bass bone myself)

[cnj393]

I see the show band style is spreading. The is a super old Tuba fanfare. I guess new to these guys.

[edude1100]

no, a marching tuba is big and all on you shoulder

[vithorthompson]

Muito dahora

[chrism4n14]

Sounds like theres a bari sax hiding behind one of those sousa's lol

[Droideka133]

@chrism4n14 well they are meant to play the same songs . They could if wanted to play this

[CorridorCinematicsII]

will it blend?

[jonas007jonas]

LOW CARA

[RayLathrophornBA]

Well yes a Sousaphone is a marching tuba, but they do have bazooka tubas.

[Earphonesan]

Blat blat blat blat blat... Blat blat blat blat blat blat blat...  Blat blat blat BLAAAAAAT.

[Soaringmunkymuffins]

@Earphonesan hahahaha i totally burst out laughing when i read that

[mitchploeg]

[Breazeale93]

@GamingSol Who DOESN'T need that many Sousaphones?!

[GamingSol]

@Breazeale93 anybody

[Breazeale93]

@GamingSol Everyone needs ATLEAST that many.

[Mrpanama23]

Hey when I was in high school we made that up almost 20 years ago. It's called nice & slow & it was a smooth & speedy y'all sound good. Could show you some missing parts.

Marching 100.

[Rynojackax]

right when I clicked on the video, my eyes went from -.- to O.O.

[makatetate99]

This was awesome sounding I absolutely love brass[!] high or low. (maybe because I'm a trombone player...;)) ;)♥

[TheBlacksmith456]

wow

[nerocko6]

Ah depending on what it is I love splatisimo

[gregfuertes]

u guys do awesome

[trumpeteronthefoof]

what makes a tuba a tuba is the length of tubing ond the conical bore a sousaphone has both and a larger more directional bell, it is a tuba designed to be easier to march with. And for you tuba purists, you can get as much dynamic contrast out of a sousaphone as you can with a tuba. and a mellophone is a simplified conical bored horn in the key of F, they don't sound as good because they are not played as well. I JUST ENDED THE ARGUMENT SO SHADDUP AND SHAG-OFF!

[vrwaters]

@trumpeteronthefoof A mellophone is nothing like a horn. A mello has less than half the tubing, different bore, less conical, piston valves, different mouthpiece, etc. In playing the two, the differences are apparent, but it's a necessary evil to fill the alto brass voice.

[MCTuba2]

What's the original song?

[TheGSutt]

OH CRAP!! AN ARMY OF SOUSAPHONES!!! RUN FOR YOU LIFE!!!!!!

[TheKafram]

Sousaphones are the same as a tuba. Jesus get the fuck over it already.

[healerheart]

they are really good^^

[1337euphonium]

Woah... that's a lotta sousaphones...

[Bookman94ASU]

This is a fanfair that HBCU sousaphone sections have been playing for years we just didn't call it transformers..b

[BinaryLinux]

I wanna stand in the middle

[ja7x12]

actually, contra bass tubas are marching tubas too. just saying.

[lizardlordx]

Do you happen to have sheet music that you could send me?

[GoldRush071]

Is this the movie theme or the 80's theme... Sounds like a little of both to me

[goldenlover606]

damn, only one girl?

[marchingpackofCeHS]

@goldenlover606 there are 2 girls

[xXJOKER2014Xx]

[guitarheroman202]

[rockerkiddevin]

[turntheoven269]

@rockerkiddevin come down to allen texas and come see me and my 28 strong tuba section in my 700+ marching band ;)

[rockerkiddevin]

@turntheoven269 Sounds like a hell of a time ;) lol

[sourav123gupta]

@turntheoven269 700! wtf! mines like 100 lol

[optuhmistic]

shoeless?

[Pali729]

All sousaphones are tubas but not all tubas are sousaphones :O bam

[charliebonefan213]

All those tubas :O

[PThomas7414]

I march a Yamaha contra<3

there are like 12 different types of tuba

only one sousaphone though.

but contras all of the way.. and yes I am a girl tuba player:D

[TheMocitytx]

@PThomas7414 rad! a girl tuba player! just sayin

[dudemetal23]

sgtm1775 your a dumbass think before you speak im a marching tuba we use the good old sousaphone or bazooka tuba in set unison and if the band cant hear the tuba or bass player your band must suck ass

[sgtm1775]

@dudemetal23 Your/You're. Learn the difference before calling someone else a dumbass.

[beccab1012]

IS THAT A GIRL TUBA??!!?!??! WOOOHHOOO Represent

ps We are Tubas it's what we Do-ba :P

[Dowski2882]

Haha I can hear them breathing in unison!

[768biggiemac]

where can i get transformers

[Amazingtrumpetplayer]

not bad but they are splating every note



[AlleyCatRawr]

So many .. Sousas ... I wish we had so many :D

[thermostat98]

an owl is a bird...a sousaphone is a tuba.

[TonyBtones]

@thermostat98 A sousaphone is a unique instrument that only fills the same role as a tuba on the marching field. Saying a sousaphone is a tuba is like saying a mellophone is a f horn.

[nekosamuria]

@thermostat98 20-j's are tubas of steel crafted by heaven

[awesomecrookie25]

THATS ALOT OF TUBAS!!!

[BDubbleDizzle]

8 people play trumpet

[hea131]

19 tubas! = beast

[390070730]

I HAVE TO ADMITE TUBAS ARE AWESOME AND I PLAY THE BARI SAX

[MrGuitar144]

@390070730 I play bari sax, its an easy switch to tuba. I did it because two of our three tubas were seniors. You should try it, it's a lot of fun. Besides bari is a pain to march.

[SWAGGOteam]

my school has band and i play tuba

[watzzzup1294]

tuba/sousaphone pride ;D... and for the whole tuba sousa arguement that seems to be on every video who gives a damn they're both in the same key/range/and play the same, a sousa is a marching tuba, many band directors in middle and high school bands refer to sousas as tubas who cares if people call them sousaphones or tuba's there still both epic ;D

[MrMoosicles]

Now THAT is a tuba section!!!

[ipwnu5742]

I play the Euphonium i do agree nobody kows what it is and it makes me mad

[slipking2]

@ipwnu5742 I KNOW WHAT A EUPHONIUM IS!!!! But then again I'm a huge DCI fan soooo.....

[ThomasYams]

@sk8dood98 and I'd gladly follow

[TramaTeamGirl654]

sousaphones are awesome~~!

[Fs9AirbusA300Pilot]

We play it a lot

Different, like we got a lot of fills in it and got trombones on it too ( everyone gets a solo)

[sgtm1775]

Those aren't tubas. They're sousaphones. Splatissimo is neither an actual dynamic, nor an acceptable goal for intonation, but many people are still trying to make both happen.

[bobshowers]

@sgtm1775 a sousaphone is a tuba though.

[kalop90]

@sgtm1775 Lol a sousaphone is the exact same thing as a tube the only difference is its classified as a MARCHING instrument while the instrument we know as a tube is classified as a CONCERT instrument. I play Trombone Tuba Baritone(Euphonium) Trumpet and Percussion. I know what im talking about :)

[YAHOOISNOTG]

@sgtm1775 they are tubas....

[elvisfan4646]

@sgtm1775 A sousaphone is a marching tuba. It was invented by a man called John Philip Sousa. Learn some history, you might just need it some day.

[sgtm1775]

@elvisfan4646 I know all about Sousa, and his music, and the history. I've even marched a sousaphone. However, having played a convertible concert tuba and a G Contra Bass bugle when I auditioned for the Bluecoats.. (made it, but didn't have the funds to march what would have been the 1993 season), I much prefer the latter.

[elvisfan4646]

@sgtm1775 Im impressed.

[Struck94]

@sgtm1775 its college, its about being loud and having fun, if you want to listen to lyrical then listen to concert band.

[DarkVengeance0938]

@sgtm1775 Sousaphones are just Tubas. They are the "Marching Tuba"

[pie2pie1pie]

@DarkVengeance0938 contras are also marching tubas matter a fact they are a more precise sound over a sousa :D i wana contra sooooo bad... for my school at least XP

[num1bestchicktuba]

@DarkVengeance0938 yes but they make somewhat of a different sound and its easier to play louder on a sousaphone

[RockstarDaniel]

@DarkVengeance0938 They aren't THE marching tuba. Gotta give contras some love

[TheTunder123we]

@DarkVengeance0938 its named after John Phillip SOUSA

[100computerkid]

@DarkVengeance0938 like a baratone and a tuba a tuba is biger and hits low notes!

[Berserkedy]

@DarkVengeance0938 Tubas > Sousaphones.

[Skratche17]

@DarkVengeance0938 Sousaphones are a unique instrument from the tuba. They fill the same roles, but sousaphones are wrapped differently, have a different sound (tone quality is the most obvious), and project better.

Tubas generally sound better though.

Anyway, I think the tubaherd should invest in contras. They definitely have enough people to still put out a lot of sound.

[ethanhardis]

@Skratche17 And the sousaphone is also a better marching instrument in my opinion.

[whatistheretotype]

@DarkVengeance0938

actually, a sousaphone is a sousaphone, a marching tuba is considered a contra, sense it actually represents a true tuba, and they have convertable concert tubas that convert to marching tubas, just a fun fact for ya(:

[brother1997]

@whatistheretotype i thought a sous was like what they had and a contra was like a full sized tuba but with the bell pointing outward instead of up

[jake16math]

@DarkVengeance0938 nope they are the sousaphones a marching tuba does not fit around you

[danielkerkotchian]

@jake16math bro no one gives a shit there all tubas just bent in another way. u bend a bendy straw its still a fucking straw so fuck off.

[darthminimall]

@DarkVengeance0938 No, actually, a contra-bass bugle, commonly known as just a Contra, is the marching tuba, sousaphones are a variant of the Helicon invented in the 1920's by John Phillip Sousa.

[Cmac7254]

@sgtm1775 i challenge you to do better with this many sousaphones

[monkey78777]

@sgtm1775 thats wat ive been trying to tell people but they say its a tuba

[HuggumsMcgehee]

@sgtm1775 Splatissimo. I laughed. I laughed hard.d

[MaxXimumPain]

@sgtm1775 It is really difficult not to blat (especially with silvers)

often it happens on accident, it takes a LOT of control to play well and loud

JHS Tubaline 2011 FOREVER!

[kingjokerful]

@sgtm1775 its a form of a tuba idiot

[sgtm1775]

@kingjokerful No it's not. It's a sousaphone. I've played sousaphone, tuba, convertible concert tuba for field, and a G contrabass bugle (along with other brass and even woodwinds). The differences are subtle, but differences just the same.

[shdtc345]

i might be playing the sousaphone this week at school. i hope i do

[zanecreations]

sounds a row of people farting into kazooz lol. Im not saying they're bad but just tubas? Come on.

[ddimaggio2]

your school is fricken rich holy crap!

[Carwashman2010]

Is that 19 or 20 sousaphones?

[SuperGoodlookin1]

[npneckbreaker]
