+thegreatgatsby ... I deleted my earlier comment... Absolutely no disrespect to my beloved band program... My comment was intense, but my reference to the playing of this piece from 2007/2008, was a counter display that promoted the Boom... The "trumpet hangovers" should be reconsidered and better managed in tone... I trust this is a better comment.
Dejohn Oliver much better, spoken like a true boomsman. I love your passion tho, and I love how we Jsu graduates compare the Boom to other versions/years of the Boom. Not other bands. That defines many yrs of excellence
thegreatgatsby I'm all about the Boom, but the truth is that's not a good sound coming from them. It's all about the fans as a former band musician and person who grew up around them I just want to hear good music. I wish there is something I can do to help them write better music.
jdmoney86 the point was, as a former boomsman, there is a tactful way to deliver your opinion about the band. This public venue is not it. It can come across as slander or being negative. There are forums & contacts you can utilize with the JSU music dept directly, if there were a "genuine concern". I'd also have to disagree, some arrangements and songs sound better than others. In example, their Tiger of San Pedro sounds awesome compared to a rap tune like Party Dont Stop. The band doesnt sound bad as a whole, its just certain tunes and certain freshman need more practice... or they shouldn't be allowed to play.
You all do know that this is one song, of the countless number of songs they played that night... Yes, the playing of "this selection" has concerns, whereas to the trumpets only... The Boom did an excellent job overall that night, so to speak to the Boom as being not good this season, or "falling off" is straight bull... Last Boombox Classic, JSU pulled back the can lid on SU, then comments were made that JSU was only playing loud; thus the excuses commenced to why SU did not come hard as everyone projected... Yes, SU performed a good exhibition performance during the battle showcase in the gym at JSU, but in the war, they failed short; in addition to a dismal halftime performance... And their Honda BOTB performance/show was not any better, but had the nerve to state that every marching band at Honda were copying them...smh...Now the minute SU sounds bad on a song, the excuses will pour like a glass of grape cool-aid, in lite sugar... And believe it or not, SU has sounded horrible on certain selections and there is footage to prove just that.
I just listened to them. They're good (definitely better than this JSU version), but why do they play it so FAST? I like JSU's tempo better than ECSU's
New director don't want to follow the traditional, he wants to come in change to his style. Their stand are going to be empty, he might be Dr. Meyers choice remember she wanted the Jetted to be Flag girls and majorettes
Some of y'all,can shit up tryna make it seem as if all of their selections were terrible or something yes this one in,particular should be erased from memorylol but overall othe Boom sounds just fine just go listen to Nice and Slow Or Jupiter , or All Day they sound just fine y'all tripping always hating on the boom lol smfh
that was one hell of a trumpet solo........
the party stopped a long time ago
lmao 😲😲😂😂😂
Sound! it's there...Trumpets! Damn near nonexistent....Horn holders! waaayyyy to many for yall to be 300+
Thats less than 300
I mean its loud but trumpets stop
Dude skatin just to hit that note and then it dont even sound good.
Writing on the wall is that alot of them freshmen don't know their music. I see that this band is having trouble keeping tempo.

Whats wrong with the trumpets?
