DAMN!!!! Nothing like the sound of the black marching band!!! Now THAT is how you blow!!! That is tradition, baby!!! Thanks for the post!!!

Wow it's crazy watching this video and seeing Brian Simmons up there and playing the baritone horn.

fav song by Su this year....sound good even with the hybrid tubas

BTONES kickin ass on dis song fareal.. dat cord beastin

Southern is NOT playing games with JSU!! Southern KILLED this HANDS DOWN!

Staccato works very well with this tune!

Nitpicking Haters critique the you are in and then you will see no Band is perfect not even yours. Learn to appreciate our good HBCU Bands We have so many.

lol did anybody else notice the cymbals off in the beginning? but Southern is taking over this year!

there is a pause at 1:44 that lets you know the next note is coming str8 from hell lol....good shit SU...

For inspiration, I watch this video at least once a month.

I'm excited after hearing this!

Trombones gettin it on this song.

One of my favorites.

Proof that SU can Sound Hella good

Duh best band in the land

I love this so much!!!

Man trumpets just chillin

I luv dhis song !!!!:)))

I seriously feel as though nobody can play this like SU

Amazing

i been waitin to here a band play this!

Amazing 💛💙

DIZ SOUND SO DAMN GOOD

Goosebumps!

man this joint goes

Excellent!!

This song is called "Lift Off"

If anyone knows about music, the time signature for this tune is in 6/8 time. The director has given the tempo so as a musician "percussionist" as well pay attention, the cymbals are to play on beat 1 and they didn't do that ,that's how they were off in the beginning

That Indian(or maybe she's Hispanic) girl hits the mess out of all the dances!

DOPENESS SU!!!

I thought one of the rules for brass, was to Not puff your cheeks?!!!!!(: Awesome as Always!!!

LOVE IT @phillipsh1 yeah i also agree all of those tunes are blowing i really would love it hear them live and in person to feel the heat for myself Fall 10 E.T.I SCSU

DEM TRAINS!!!!!

So....ummm.....if you pay close attention after the break, you will see the baritones are hitting a D-flat 3rd octave....so nice!!!

I feel kinda bad for the band this was directed at. Its beautiful!

I really need JSU to play this. War and Thunder would eat.

@TheTrumpet101 it was.. they weren't watching the tempo it doesn't look like. he was trying to get them back on

DAMN SOUTHERN KILLED THIS SHIT

Fucking beautiful

wow that's awesome who is the original artist of this song... cause that is awesome...

The euphos sounds like they just got new instruments

Su at their best

That's how long they play list is

All this time I'm thinking it's the cymbals fault it got messed up in the beginning! But it's really the directors fault. Wth he doing?!!

Love the video ! But did anyone hear the CYMBALS off at 0:02 ?

I need them to perform this at my graduation

I wonder what was going through Kayla’s mind for her to think these counts went with the song

Dayum SU!!!! POOR JSU!

stop zooming in son...lol

geez trumpets 1:40

@intelligenceisnot Check out some of my videos. In the search box, type in the words "John Merritt Classic 2011". A lot of other people have posted videos with close up footage of the dancers.

Poor Jackson State...

Go to ktrb90

This was utterly disgusting I feel like somebody slapped a pile of shit in my mouth, my skin crawled damn this band sounds good
