Norfolk State University Vs Hampton University Tuba Battle 2022 | Bodacious Basses Vs Low Down 

Why are people hating on these sousaphones? Me personally I like their sound, tone and the way that they play

Still can’t believe we came in there with broken tubas and J’s. If folks only knew 😂

Ain’t no way this is real . 12:01 fanfare is so majestic .

Mane was straining for them notes like hemorrhoids 🤣🤣🤣

I like them both. The Songs are better to me than the short stuff. Sousaphone is the best instrument in the band because every major hit has a nice bass line. Good Battle

6:10 killing me softly with his song :D

Anyone caught that wrong foot tho?

12:01 fanfare is so majestic 🫠🔥🫡

GREAT TUBA PLAYING. VERY NICE

You know, just because they’re not as loud, doesn’t mean it’s bad, I’d prefer music over loud noises

Thats that boi TDoug on them lows 😂😂🔥🔥

it’s two sides loud and angry then u got peaceful and calm

Nah but I think the bodacious basses won especially in that second last song they were quick. The sousaphones are the kings of the band depending on all the loud hype coming out of those horns. But yeah the bodacious basses kill it. Also the second song Hampton university played was good . GO NSU!

what was the song from 12:01

Buddy killing the lows!!

They better stay away from the SWAC.

For a second in the thumbnail I thought the tuba player to the left was Will Smith.

why do I hear baritone and trombone at the same time

Conn 20k vs king 2350

The beginning is like a deebo/ Unc ruckus them song change my mind 🗿🤣💀

This was great! Different from the usual battles. And great to see some female representation!

Awesome sousaphone

Old boy was off step 💀

6:11

This was fun to watch lol

Bro how dare they enter a battle like that, that's mega cringe LOL

Where are the drums?

Im disappointed in both these sections, priorities are all over the place when it comes to playin the horn. Very disappointed, from an 11th grader.

This sounds like a sousaphone funeral. What happened to the old NSU? Even as an upcoming 11th grader, I’m pretty disappointed in this. Incredibly thin tone and not enough power behind sections. Whats happened?

What is the song 8:34

I rather watch a high school battle wtf

what the name of the song 6:50

What song is this

4:01

Ain’t no way this is real 😢

Google Redan vs Fredrick Douglas tuba battle an see how it’s ✅

What kind of movements is Hampton doing? Choreography IS HORRIBLE.

Debo music

My mother is in shock. She graduated from HU! TERRIBLE! THIS IS NOT WHAT BATTLE OF THE BANDS IS SUPPOSE TO BE

Like b7s

Redo

yall sounded weak thwe entire battle

😕

This was the worst I have seen in all my life! From both sides!I graduated from NCCU AND THEY ARE JUST OK! BUT SHIT NCCU LOOKS BETTER THAN BOTH OF THESE 2 BANDS

Hmmm #100th

I am ashamed of the band directors! Sound is terrible

🤣🤣🤣wtf

Man this just ain't it.

I thought this was a high school band

Terrible techniques being thrown back and forth. Splat splat splat. No tone no concept

this is some weak as hell tuba battle

OMG "Sousa Wept" This was like watching a damn funeral. Tuba battles certainly have changed

hampton loud but them tones is all over the place

I don’t think cats understand the concept behind pedals lol! You still definitely want to hear the center clarity in pitch of the note!

Hampton killed it

Gotta see ncat tubas vs nsu cause what I’ve heard so far from ncat is nice

When it comes to HBCU Tube Battles That SAU VS NCCU 2014 Battle it just Hit different 😤😤😤😤

Ok Ummm This Gotta Be One Of The WEAKEST Tuba Battle I Ever Heard 😰🤯. This Definitely Not The NSU Tuba Section I Grew Up Listening To 🤦‍♂️💯. I Just Hope Things Eventually Go Back To How They Where 😮‍💨💪

Norfolk is playing some hits. Sound quality is much better and the togethernesses of the section. Hampton just over there making damn noise

Was this a serenade or a battle lol. Hampton pitch all over the place, but even with that being said, they have improved over the years 🤣 🤣 🤣

Not gonna lie my boy, this battle ain’t hit the same

You should watch st. Augustine vs bodacious bases again I think nsu won but nsu had more tuba players so in was not fair AT ALL

Norfolk for the win 🥇

Thanks for saving me 15 mins of my life the comments over here 😭

WEAK

What was the second song called tho?

R n B on a Sousaphone?? 🏆

NSU, for the Win.

Look and sound like high school

wowowowowowow !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

0:55

💯👍👍👍📯📯📯📯📯📯📯📯📯🎵🎶🎵

🔥 🔥 🔥

what was the song from 6:10

NSU STICK TO THE MARCHING

Bro, until sections like this get their tone and volume together as a whole, y'all don't even need to be considering fanfares. Is this not embarrassing to y'all? This is not be being a dick, but providing real constructive criticism.

This is college? 🤔 sound more like high school tuba section to me this was 🚮

I love this like fr fr! I played this instrument back in the days.
