  • SU's sousas were doing just fine for such a small number at the Bayou Classic BOTB. WTH? Arrangements from any band for me is questionable. Can you elaborate on why?
  • i honestly think su was cleaner than jsu this season. the tpets didnt do no hanging over this season at all which is a shock.
  • JSU - cleanest and most exciting....need better field shows
    SU - always powerful......need better trumpets and tubas
    AlaSU - big band sound....clean it up
    TxSU - Small in numbers, big in sound and enthusiasm.....pray for a consistent season
    PV - Nice overall sound....stop tryin to play like SU
    Gram - nice shows....clean up sound
    Alcorn - nice entusiasm and arrangements...clean up clarity
    MVSU - nice sound....get some NU+Z
    AAMU - clean sound and nice show.....get more balance
    UAPB - great arrangements and shows....stop sticking out individually
  • im yet to see pvu every try to be like su!!!! how is dat??

    If You Could Give All the SWAC Bands a Title and tell where they need improvment
    JSU - Cleanest but need to stop hanging over as much ASU - Loudest but need to clean it up SU - Best Arrangments but need to get some tubas
  • cause they started off focusing on tryin to blow hard and their sound suffered.....especially the trumpets.....but like i said...in the beginning....i only saw them battle TxSU this year....and thats it...

  • bama st is not the loudest SU is.
  • S.U.- CLEANEST SOUND IN THE SWAC, NEED TO UPDATE THEIR FIELD SHOWS
    J.S.U.- CLEAN BUT TRUMPETS HANGOVER WAY TOO MUCH
    T.S.U.- O.K. SOUNDS BUT NEED BETTER ARRANGEMENTS
    P.V.U.- GREAT SOUND, GOOD LOOK NO DISCIPLINE
    G.S.U.- JUST PLAIN RAGEDY AND SMALLER THAN USUAL
    ALCORN- HAVEN'T HEARD
    ALABAMA STATE- HAVEN'T HEARD
    ALABAMA A&M- HAVEN'T HEARD
    SOUTHERN HAD THE BEST SOUND THIS YEAR. THEIR BASS HORN SECTION WAS SMALL BUT STILL POWERFUL. THE ARRANGEMENTS ARE ALWAYS TOP NOTCH YOU CAN ALWAYS IDENTIFY THE SONG FROM THE FIRST NOTE.
  • UAPB....CLEANEST SOUNDING BAND in the SWAC PERIOD and drills are always creative..trumpets could come out more at times
    JSU...Very nice sound when they aren't blowing and they STYLE their music well....I know its 08' but when they played "Crazy" in I believe 06 and the grooved it and the bones really funked that melody...tight...but they aren't consistent throughout the season towards the middle they always loose steam and their sound goes down the drain also their shows need to improve
    TXSU....Extremely ENERGETIC they are always up for an all out battle regardless of anything lol but not as clean and articulate as they should be and drills should be better
    GSU...From what I've seen from the last few performances they are cleaning up their sound AND their drills are coming around well....they need to polish up the sound..they are ENTERTAINMENT lol
    SU...is the POWER/DRILL BAND! They are soo loud lol but its a double edged sword because they have a lot of balance/blend/articulation/intonation issues that they really should address
    ASU....They have got to be the LOUDEST BAND in the swac but they are suffering from the same issues as the school listed above but their fieldwork isn't nearly as impressive
  • I can't imagine a band with no discipline looking good. That's an oxymoron.

  • well he might be talking about stand decorum because I've seen bands that wild out in the stands and still sound pretty good...but I haven't seen PV in about 5 years but when I did see them they didn't seem like the type of band to get out of order so I don't know about the no discipline comment I don't think I believe that one but then again I haven't seen them in action for a min
