Wil Bilal "Black and Blues Solo" || 2019 Benedict College Trombone Battle vs. Miles College 

10:50 you're welcome

Homie left that game with more clout than the Quarterback and he did it from the stands.

When his own bandmates finally realized what they had

this was the best trombone with the best fanfare. Not much will ever come close to this. It went viral for a reason. The ladies in the front are not supposed to react except for cues to do dance routines. when you can get them to turn their heads and react; when you can get the crowd to snap their neck and groove; when you can get your own band members to turn around looking surprised cuz they've never heard this arrangement before...then you know you've established legendary status.

What are all these football players doing at the Trombone game??😅

Yes, I watched this an unhealthy amount of times

My man collected all the inifity stones with that trombone performance📯🎵....sheeeesshhhhh. I haven't thought of a trombone in over 30 years 😂

Can you imagine being the other trombone band and hear the solo ringing those high notes 😂😂 I grab my shxt and head out

He was swinging that trombone like a Tommy gun never seen talent like this I think he created a new sound

Watching the crowds reaction does something to my soul ...good fckin shit

The hand waving…like cool off kinda…the way different parts of the solo spoke to people differently. Some turned around as soon as he started going off, some had to be persuaded, lol. Just indescribably excellent!

🤯🤯🤯 bra I didn't even know a trombone can sound like that! That young brotha had trombone crying out!!! 😢 I shed a tear! ✊🏽

They still playing football when Wil Bilal n the band won the game already!

10:51 - 12:45 was truly otherworldly! 💫💫💫✨✨✨✨

I used to play trombone when I was in grade school. Never heard someone play like that before I heard Mr Bilal. Brings me to tears every time. He plays that trombone with every ounce of his heart and soul

This made me emotional lol

This is the feeling when your mama cooks your favorite dish. You already know how its gonna taste but you get excited anyway.

This gets better the more I watch it cuz you can see the different bandmates go 🤯

Yoo, if the bass line came in at the end, they would of sent everybody and the football team home 😂

I love the guy at the end. SIT DOWN! DON’T PLAY NOTHING ELSE!!

I love that BC scored as soon as his solo was over.

Just seen that solo rendition on Instagram 2023. This is crazy.

I've been watching that young man since his high school years and never knew that he went to Benedict. I even had my daughter learning black-and-blue on her trumpet because of him LOL now she's a marching tiger!

I'm binging his videos, now after hearing him play in IG. Absolutely breathing performances!

BC said, see now we tried to be nice but now we have to sit y’all down! Oh the agony of having to play behind them 😔😂.

I love how much pride he inspires in his peers

I bet wil bilal felt so proud after that solo because after the cheers at 12:36, i know i would have been proud of myself

That solo gave me goosebumps man😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 tooooo harddd g fire as fuckkkk

Wish I knew the trombone could be played this way when I was in band. The other section should have respectfully taken their seats after that display of soul and mastery.

played so good got the other team motivated and they scored a touchdown. lol

I believe if Bach, Vivaldi and Mozart heard this, they would react the same way as the crowd. Beethoven wouldn't have reacted because he couldn't hear it.

Fuckin rude for them to be playing football during this.

I had the pleasure of meeting Wil this weekend. I heard him playing in a lounge and knew it was him from hearing him in this video. Awesome musician! #JSU grad, #SonicBoom

BC absolutely KILLED this!!! The solo instantly became the weapon!!!! Y’all did that!

Yeah, If I was a part of the band on the opposing side I would just walk home at that point.

"DO NOT PLAYBACK, SITDOWN JUST SIT DOWN, DON'T PLAY BACK!!!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Tears to my eyes everytime i watch it.

My fave part was just as he started his solo when he threw his hand up to tell his bandmates to stop playing. In my mind he said “yall… let me cook” 😭🤣😂

At 12:07, the camera focuses on the woman in the front. Her double take was awesome. His solo and the team’s power behind him cuts into your soul.

Wow these guys have made me realize I love trombone. That was incredible

Obviously, the horns are amazing, but my favorite part is after they finish when the man say, “don’t play back. Just sit down” or something like that. Legendary!

That's a fanfare you can throw at anybody and nobody won't have a response

I have never experienced anything like this before but i feel that Benidict collage band is the best thing there is. William Bilal is just the icing on the cake. Very good work by the school and band members. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world

I wish this video would have stayed zoomed out. One of the best parts of rewatching the different videos of this is watching the people react.

That horn section…🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Bruh this has lived rent free in my head for years….where is Will now?!?

Drop the damn 🎤 he kilt it. GameOver

Possibly the greatest trombone section in the nation

Camera man had one job 🤦‍♂️

I’m getting hype wit his band mates 🕺🏾🔥‼️

The fans forgot it was a football game going on 😂

GREAT T-Bone Battle . SOLO was CRAZY! All hail Will B.

Amazing. So well played. Thank you for capturing this.

Absolutely amazing!

Apparently the camera man/woman got caught up in the rapture, too 😅

When you go to 11:18 look up on the right. The 3 men turn or head like « oouuuhhh what is this ? »

That was filthy. I wouldn’t have played again if I was the other mob.

goosebumps

He single handedly won that battle! Sounded amazing.

Aye no lie 2019 Benedict bones was str8 up

Dirty Bones 👌🏿💯💪🏿

Sheesh! The other band had probably twice the players and they still slayed!

That wasp 🐝 though! Sheesh!!!!

I need a clean audio version of black n blues. I know yall got a rehearsal room version tucked off somewhere

🔥🔥🔥

When you can make em turn around… you playing yo Ass off. They all turned around smiling.

Cmon, DJ dang. But great creativity bones

It’s the majorette turn for me

💜💜💜

Pressessshhhaaa 😢🤧💞🥰

BC! BC! 💜💛

I would've responded with The Flight of the Bumblebee 😂😂

He took em to chuccchh!!

They had to turn around because sometimes it's not enough to hear soul; you have to see it too.

This is literally what recovering from adversity must sound like.

Honest question. Why is a dude talking on the loudspeaker while they're playing?

Had them FIRED up.

I wish you had stayed zoomed out so that we could see all of the crowd reactions.

At 12:15 girl in the front couldn’t hold it anymore. She finally turned around. That spirit hit her, she tried to fight it for the longest

12:39 the guy in the yellows face 😂. Man said, we done !!!!

What’s the official song? Bro did his thang fr make me miss marching band

Why does his solo make us 😢

Wait, did the band director tell them to sit down & don’t play that???

What can you play to top that?

Anyone else notice the kid at 7:15 doing the Fortnite dances? 👆

Wait there was a actual game going on??!!!

My only issue here is THE DAMN DJ playing music that interferes with the band performance wise as far as clarity

Anyone know the song in the beginning

10:50 🔥🫡

10:50

Who tf is the dj in the background 🤦‍♂️

I wonder what he went on to become. 🤔

As great as this sounds, isn't it illegal for bands to be playing music during ball play (as in between after the ball is snapped and when the ball is consudered dead)? I love how the refs probably told them before the video started to stop, but they kept doing it anyway and just gave up xD Anywho, this sounds SOO good. Mad props to the soloist for hitting those high notes on a bone with such grace and ease. Love it!

Would somebody please the the damn football team to get out of the way of the bands!!! Everyone knows who they wete there to watch. It damn sure wasn't men running up and down the place where the band marches at halftime. 🙄
