awesome hands down no question the #1 band in the nation that has the largest book, diversity of arrangements, and consistent program with each season topping it's former.
Anyone who knows me and knows my background knows I have never been a huge fan of SU, but while I am not a fan, I have always given credit were credit was due. This was a very good arrangement and i for one, thought I would never here them play anything gospel. But I really like this . A very good look for them. I must say that lick at 2:25 - 2:28 ...whew..... almost made a brutha catch a corner!!! Good job SU!
+marshall Winston and what does that have to do with the price of tea in China? My comment wasn't about me or who I am, but about the musical qualities that SU demonstrated. oh yea, you have a contact pic and i still don't know you...ijs!
Morris Brown College to me had the best arrangement & their tubas were just magnificent on this arrangement, But SU did their thing as usual & I expected nothing less, But If anyone can find MBC's version please post it, I actually recorded it in person but cant find that vhs to save my life. They played it as a tribute to one of their trumpet players who passed...
+Brian Simmons Hello sir, if you don't mind me asking, where do you get your sheet music from? I would love for my band to play this; I think it's different for high school bands (as a student) to play gospel music and this would be a great song for us to play. It's not something you see on a regular basis with high school bands.
Tbh SU version is better because FAMU version was made to be played with a choir and the band doesn't actually play the melody. So technically Su has the better band arrangement
Not sure what to say, as so many said great arrangement - but I expected someone over the top based on the comments on some websites. Its a solid arrangement - but FAMU's arrangement is memorable in comparison....this exposes Southerns weakness (playing anything other than FFF).
