the only thing that would make this video better is if the girls in the front moved outta the way im here to see the musicians not to simp for some girls...bruh
It's really refreshing to see so many young people so passionate about music. This is why schools NEED music programs. So many talented kids with bright futures :)
I did orchestra for 4 years (3 middle school and 1 high school) and the program was cut..i was devastated. The band was left and learning a trombone was interesting and I loved it.. Found out I can't read music but play by sound..😄😄
For the people who say the trumpets are blasting, THEYRE SUPPOSED TO BLAST this isn't supposed to be musical this is supposed to be excited and get the crowd pumped up which is what they did. This was incredible
@@dkoda840 HENCE HBCU. DID YOU READ? OR WAS THIRSTY TO COMMENT. WE ALL KNOW FAMU IS GREAT. THEY ALL ARE WE BLACK. THAT'S WHAT WE DO. NO SURPRISE. ITS ROOM FOR ALL
I was there and I've always had a slight bias towards SU because 3 out of my 4 grandparents went. both my parents, two of my uncles and plenty of other family are all SU alumni. As a former band student I must say this rendition was great.
I'm 15, in the marching band where I'm the minority (I'm black) and I actually cried when I heard this because i feel like I'm missing out on so many things with my own people so that's why I wanna go to an HBCU school and the only motivates me more so thanks
After a while your lips condition to this style of playing it doesn't take long to strengthen them trust me being a tuba player I'd have real bad looking lips until I mastered cranking
Being a trumpet player in my marching band, I am in love with those high notes. I especially love how much everyone really got into the music and just had a good time. Amazing, well done!
Just here to say that the girls aren't cheerleaders!!! They are majorette dancers that actually preform when it's halftime and also when the band is playing throughout the game, which is common in these type of bands and some others, these girls are almost always with the band, their part of the band (of course not in the instrument aspect) they are the fabulous southern university dancing dolls with 50 years of tradition!!!
+Rimenuir Lumfatnur I marched corps style in high school and then switched to show style when I went to an HBCU. There are things i enjoy about both, but marching show style was my absolute favorite. It was war on the field against the other band and people came to the games just to see the bands battle. Dancing and playing at the same time was something else I had to get use to doing. Choose a great HBCU with a great band program to get a TRUE HBCU band experience.
For the ones that never heard Adell sing her song hello she starts off soft and then she carry the song high SU played it just like she sings it im so proud of them
Trumpets almost stole the show from the dancers. Almost. Superb performance. So moody and atmospheric. These bands are moving away from traditions and learning to do everything and anything. Love it.
Hearing these big bands reminds me of listening to the big sound of a choir. There are many parts, but they are all in unison with each other. I love it.
I am a proud Gramblinite. However, I must give credit to SU for this performance. I'm not alone based on the favorable reviews from Billboard Magazine on-line and USA Today! A diverse range of music and showmanship are what make all of our bands unique. Despite the unyielding loyalties to our respective schools, we celebrate individual and collective successes among our friendly rivals! So it is in the lyrical content of Adele's song that I commend "the Human Juke Box" and the entire SU Family by simply saying, "Hello from the other side...." (CDG GSU c/o '93)
While I am biased on having a color guard I can't stand people saying these dancers are "strippers"??!! This song is kind of limiting on choreography but these girls are absolutely gorgeous! The one in the front is literally perfection lol she reminds me of Drumline with Nick Cannon
its jxy To provide a deep, rich tone for the entire band because almost every instrument (except maybe mello and sousaphone) is very very bright, so the saxes and clarinets help balance it out. Every instrument serves a certain purpose otherwise it wouldn't be in the band in the first place.
its jxy I'm not sure because the brass section always seem to play really loud. But they should because it's one of the most "softest" instruments. That's why almost every band wants around 13 clarinets in a band.
They sound amazing. They have their own style and that's fine. People in this comment section are forgetting that music is to bring people together, not make it about what band or race is better. Smh. I'm sad y'all lost sight of that as musicians.
Honestly this band is apart of the reason I fell in love with music, 1999 Southern Homecoming Parade I was 5 they stopped right in front of where I was standing on the road and did “No Trouble by C Loc” when I tell you it sounded exactly like the radio I had never heard music live before was completely blown away, forever grateful I got to experience that
Man I love being black by popular demand...and this is exactly why! I'm here in 2020 and this is refreshing to know that Black Excellence will continue forever...them trumpets though!!! 🎺
The whole entire band sounded absolutely amazing. I'm a 7th grader and I play sousaphone and I thought we were good. This hand is definitely one of the most talented bands around. 11-10. Keep up the hard work.
I rarely listen to these type of performances, as they typically sacrifice tonality for volume,(yes, I understand that is the style...but still) but I must say this was amazing! The hornline was so much in tune for the most part even with the rips. Very nice control! Good Job!
The sound quality of this video doesn't live up to hearing it being played live. You felt it vibrate through to your bones as It echoed throughout the stadium.
Hi I'm a reporter for Business Insider. I love your awesome video, and was wondering if I could get permission to use it for a story. Let me know. Thanks!
Phenomenal performance Southern University! Loved the music & the Dancing Dolls performance was very well done; these young ladies know they can dance.
It is 2020 and the corona virus dominates the airways, but, as a white person from North Carolina, I must say that this band is extraordinary and this performance is absolutely inspiring and demonstrative of pure excellence.
I LOVE the dynamics and kinda droopy pace. LOVE IT! So different, the varying dynamics and speed. Love the full blast energy. Must have been great to be there. With, err... ear pieces. :)

tell that to our school we have one its a good one just not well funded and no one but the kids in band and the director cares
LMAO!!
I'm from india and here all we do is study band and such thing barely exists here:(
I did orchestra for 4 years (3 middle school and 1 high school) and the program was cut..i was devastated. The band was left and learning a trombone was interesting and I loved it.. Found out I can't read music but play by sound..😄😄
I tell you its fun and a good thing to keep kids outta trouble ive been in band since the 7th grade
Those trumpets are insane....
Sound like screaming deamons hollerin from the depths of the abyss.....Ahhhh, what sweet sound to ur ears. #bandgrammy
+Shmea Shmea no
Indeed
not better river city drum crop

AGREED. THAT'S WHAT HBCU TRUMPETERS ARE KNOWN FOR. KEEP THAT GOING

@@BLACKKING-zr3ex I misread your statement, I thought you were saying they are only loud, they are great and in tune but also loud
image how loud this was in person
I know right

I would pay so much money to see this live

Me too, I hope u made it to the HBCU u wanted to go too!!
wya fam
Oco ro lol u hating I’m weak
You there yet fam?
Rip the lips of every band member in that band...
naaaah, they're used to it, they have strong ass lips
+Andrew Liu And ears....
+A Random Person it's actually not that bad while you're playing tbh
MultiKool13 Oh. Ok.
After a while your lips condition to this style of playing it doesn't take long to strengthen them trust me being a tuba player I'd have real bad looking lips until I mastered cranking
Every last one of them was a shining star on that night! So beautiful to see young people giving their all during this performance. So proud of them!
Love this video. I watch it atleast once a year because of how much i miss being in band.
dynamic be like ffffffffffff
Nah still too soft
😂😂
😭😂
Tracer From Overwatch ffffffffffffffffffffuckitjustplayyourlipsoff

This shows that SU is more than just volume. They have great technique and good dynamics.
When they did the first chorus I got the chills and tears in my eyes
same here
+Katherine P Ok, calm down.
+Greg Denny haha :)
Same
because the Heavenly Gates opened
Anytime you see an HBCU band, expect a wall of sound. This is awesome!
Just here to say that the girls aren't cheerleaders!!! They are majorette dancers that actually preform when it's halftime and also when the band is playing throughout the game, which is common in these type of bands and some others, these girls are almost always with the band, their part of the band (of course not in the instrument aspect) they are the fabulous southern university dancing dolls with 50 years of tradition!!!
I love hbcu bands, they are so much more fun than a lot of corps style groups (coming from somebody that does corps style)
Exactly why I'm debating on which college to go to this Fall...
+Rimenuir Lumfatnur I marched corps style in high school and then switched to show style when I went to an HBCU. There are things i enjoy about both, but marching show style was my absolute favorite.

Tbh i feel like corps do have better sound but show style is just more entertaining

Trumpets almost stole the show from the dancers. Almost. Superb performance. So moody and atmospheric. These bands are moving away from traditions and learning to do everything and anything. Love it.
No matter what happens, the entrance at 1:22 always puts a smile on my face. so epic.
trumpets are just BEAUTIFUL
Hearing these big bands reminds me of listening to the big sound of a choir. There are many parts, but they are all in unison with each other. I love it.
That wall of mellophone sound is so amazing
OMG , who made those mello's angry ??
+Michael Dedrick LOL my exact thoughts
😂😂🔊
😂😂😂
Hell yeah... Somebody pissed the mellow OFF!
+Michael Dedrick Where is that that they got so mad?

Finally someone who gives credit when it is due.
+Derrell Sam need to give that trombone player a helping hand @ 0:10 kmsl
According to my husband, this is at the Battle of the Bands, so that's why the Dancing Dolls are there. They're part of the routine. He's a SU alum.
I loved playing football against them just to get to hear the band in person.
I love how they captured every piece of the song. The background instrumentals to her breath lol
THE SOUND, THE PRECISION. GOD IT GIVES ME CHILLS
Great work, but the chorus scared the crap outta me.
😂😂😂😂😂
lmao
+Your Malaysian Spycrab Thats why its called a hit :P
suppose to lol
+Your Malaysian Spycrab It's mostly known as abusing the living shit out of a screamer mouthpiece.

Southern’s band is so good it make me wanna cry😭
Those trumpet high notes are awesome.
I lost it during the chorus. Lmao I love it
As much as I liked Adele's voice, I loved those mello's
The Dolls are some of the most graceful black women on the planet.
I feel bad for those woodwinds, they're probably all deaf now.
Seth Hartz what's the point of alto sax and clarinet xd
its jxy To provide a deep, rich tone for the entire band because almost every instrument (except maybe mello and sousaphone) is very very bright, so the saxes and clarinets help balance it out. Every instrument serves a certain purpose otherwise it wouldn't be in the band in the first place.
Jalen Sullivan true because i play clarinet and i feel like it makes trumpets sound better
Jalen Sullivan are clarinet even playing loud all the way or doesn't sound like it
its jxy I'm not sure because the brass section always seem to play really loud. But they should because it's one of the most "softest" instruments. That's why almost every band wants around 13 clarinets in a band.
this brought me to tears. so much passion. so beautiful. much respect to everyone who was a part of this. much love..

It’s crazy how everyone is shouting out the trumpet but no one is showing love to the mellos.
I see y’all mellophones!!!! 🔥💨
The whole entire band sounded absolutely amazing. I'm a 7th grader and I play sousaphone and I thought we were good. This hand is definitely one of the most talented bands around. 11-10. Keep up the hard work.
Nothing like the SWAC baby. If you grew in the SWAC you love it!!!
This is amazing omg , especially the sudden outburst of music when the chorus comes ❤️
they kno they killed this song. i felt so many chills i almost cried. i miss my band days
Major props to those trumpet players. Those notes they hit are some I could never imagine to hit myself, very well done!
This so beautiful and I'm tearing up from how much love you put into this
once again a beautiful arrangement by the jukebox
Those Sousaphone riffs are freaking amazing! Gave me chills along with those mellos!!!
Dude I’m a trumpet and holy crap when they came in I was so amazed by how good they freaking sound
SU great job coming from TSU Tiger and my husband a very proud Southern Alumini
i just love SU God bless the whole band and the director keep it coming
And this is why they are the #1 band in the country......
Some people say they are over blowing I say congratulations on great spirit and power
It’s 2020 & I’m still watching this 😔🙂
Still here in 2020, this video is epic... Everytime I watch this it always makes me wanna rejoin the band...
This band is superb. Awesome dynamics and phrasing. A brass heaven! The 1st trumpet players are unbelievable!!! Great arrangement!!!!
I remember watching this as a sophomore back in high school and this song still makes me get goosebumps
I rarely listen to these type of performances, as they typically sacrifice tonality for volume,(yes, I understand that is the style...but still) but I must say this was amazing! The hornline was so much in tune for the most part even with the rips. Very nice control! Good Job!
If You are A Band Family you got to love this video there's no doubt
Every time, I come back to this performance it gives me chills.
The wall of sound when it drops will never get old
when the trumpets came in for the first time my jaw literally dropped to the floor ~ fellow trumpeter🤩🎺
The sound quality of this video doesn't live up to hearing it being played live. You felt it vibrate through to your bones as It echoed throughout the stadium.

They killed it! That's the way it should be done. My alma mater represented as always. SU Nation!
For those saying “ThE tRuMpets aRe So loUd” THIS IS AN HBCU AND THEY DO IT BEST WITH BAND🥴🥴 NO OTHER RACE COULD COMPETE WITH US🥳🥳
Syd Stone why does it always have to about to be race man

The middle part of the song where it is so loud literally scared me to death. Wonderful job!

Omg I love this ❤️💪🏾 the dancing dolls are amazing and the band is great like damn
I love this marching band ❤️
Probably the best rendition ever by any band!!!!!!
Oh my God I didn’t even realise that a band could actually do a cover Adele’s Hello!
I’ve got goosebumps they’re SO awesome!
Gave me chills👍
Dem trombones on the beginning. Wow.. Just wow!!! Those Dynamics. Sousaphone took me out though in that build up!!!
Mellows and Trumpets 🎺 have the best tune. Human Jukebox!!!!!!!!🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺 TRUMPETS!!!!
The range of the trumpets is magnificent. Love it!!
