Still following in my foot steps... thanks to Miles my arrangement will live forever... Thanks to those who have attempted my arrangement I'm flattered...lol
Everytime I hear this song I get chills..... I totally under estimated the amount of talent that miles had coming thru their band.... Those sousaphones are sick!!!! They made the song for me!!!
The best arrangement of dirty diana ever heard comes from Miles although the tubas couldnt hang at the end (2:27).... good job to the EXTENDED CAVER of New Orleans
i've never hear prairie view's version but i definitely agree with you that them mellophones are beasting. idk what they on but i need some of it as long as it aint a trumpet mouthpiece.
If Not for Miles...How many bands would be playing this..........Those other bands wrote it after hearing miles beast it. They have even tried to out do Miles...
this song so powerful but PMM will never know. y'all got everyting runnin but the trumpets skatin and waitin on that 1 faithful note the flat on everytime. other than that i like it good job
This song is something else. I remember the first time I heard it, gave me nightmares that whole next week. I would wake up in the middle of the night and know miles got in that ass. It loud in the video and will really have you messed up when your on the receiving end. Trust me, I have felt the machine.
For real though, I didnt know they were beastin like this... But they need to get it together. That trumpet in the upper register should come down. When your in tune there is no point for that.
your completely right, im a trumpet play my self and i enjoy when the trumpets have the melody. i do like it though but trumpets need to play out more or every one else (euph, trombones, n mellos) need 2 back off
I must admit this sound good and I've slept on them but to compare them to the "SSSSSS", I mean c'mon people...not taking anything away from yall Miles. Yall did yall thang!
NSU version more controlled i would listen to b4 i got to bed and just remember MJ. Miles version i would crank in my car on my way to wrk to get me hype for the wrk day.
For comparison, look at the meac. Most bands in that conf have great arrangements and play lots of ballads and marches. Also, meac bands for years have been coming on the field and breaking out a quick dance right after the opening fanfare to get the crowd hype. Swac just started doing this in the late 90's. Point I am making is YES there are differences among these two and all conferences, but to know who is the 'best' you have to look at each individual band.
u do hear da fuck up a little after 2:33. i play for Ballou SHS Marching Knights in washington, dc and we learned this last year and blew out every band we saw wit dis song.
Yeah, I respect Miles to be a young, growing band. There a heck of a lot of potential in this band. And I appreciate you not denying the fact that there is room for improvement. That is what separates the musicians from the instrument players.
I just noticed in this song~~ This is my favorite arrangement but those Tubas are off a lot through this song!!! Listen to the end of this!!! But they did kill it tho!!!
I Think Miles Has One Of The Best Arrangements Of Dirty Diana .. But Musically Speaking .. No Disrespect .. Whatever Happened To Balancing & Controlling Your Sound . It's Like Everyone Is Trying To Play As Loud As Possible . If Everyone Would Control Their Sound It Would Be More In Tune As Well . One Of The Biggest Problems With Bands Now Is That They Are Beginning To Believe That How Loud A Band Plays Defines Their Musicality .. Wrong .
ay gared1976..wat u sayin poor dc High bands..comparin ourselves 2 southern black high schools..slim little do yhu kno dc is apart of the south and we known 4 our unique drumlines and marchingband..matter of fact more southern universities and colleges come up here and recruit band members more den dey do in dere area
No, SWAC is not just a name of a conference. If you follow each conference, most have unique styles. Example: Swac bands are measured by blowin'and style. Go to any game and the fans will let you know who's 'crankin' and who gettin' crunk on. But nonetheless swac bands also play ballads, marches and other technical pieces that focus on total musicianship, not just crankin. Those who grew up on say MEAC don't always appreicate that but it doesn't mean it isn't 'good' music.
i play 4 friendly hs..and we play dirty diana and we play it betta den majority southern high bands...and i came from shaw junior high school...my middle school band wa 425 shittin on college bands...ask about me..i play snare and the section leader 4 my line DA TANK..DC/MD and Va representin u hear me cuz
NSU has the cleanest, vsu has the best tuba break down and miles crans it the best, but at 2:30 the tubas were off, one side was on a whole different beat
