Band camp is almost here

If the ‘huge’ brings quality with it, then that’s a good thing. If J State brings additional numbers and quality, people should be worried.

Me personally I think both JSU and SU will be great this season. But I’m only going by what was told to me . JSU suppose to have them 2014 numbers maybe even bigger. And as for su they were big last season but adding on to that but we shall see..band camp is two weeks away for Southern

How big do you/yall/whoever want the Boom to be? They already a big band; consistent and continuing to do what they do. Size is good, I like a nice size band don't get me wrong but bigger don't always mean better.

Yea I can agree with that. Unless you have more of a meac or balanced philosophy you dont need to have a big band. I hope jsu is slightly a bit bigger like 2011 or 2013 but if they were 2014 I think they need to have a balance of like 50 trumpets to 20 mellos. I think southern will be the biggest swac band this year tho.

I agree with you about JSU because that 2011 and 2013 piece of JSU was a monster . 2014 was huge but they trumpets were no where to be found .. I honestly can see JSU having 2014 numbers this upcoming season, I already heard that got a lot trumpets coming in so we shall see.. as for the biggest band in the swac . I think it’s gonna be between southern and PV. Basically southerns returning vets was that band at Mardi Gras and still missing a ppl. So this shall be interesting. I’m just going by what I was told but su suppose to have about 70 trumpets and a bigger tuba section but again we shall see . Pv will def have numbers , recruit well. I’m also hearing txsu is definitely up there in numbers , there camp starts Sunday

Band camp starts Saturday for the boom( freshmen) so we will see. Majority of the band from last year is returning and a large freshman class is coming in. They defintely focused on recruiting trumpets. I'm positive it will be 2014 size but with more trumpets. That band last year was mostly freshmen and sophomores. It's that time again.

boomsop July 31, 2019 at 4:47pm

On another note, our trumpets were heard last year and that's due to our new arranger Kevin Johnson.

xaemill July 31, 2019 at 7:22pm

Yea I think there will be 4 decent size swac bands next year: su, pvamu, jsu and aamu. I agree I can see jsu being 2014 size but they need 50 plus trumpets.

boomsop what's going on man..... but I think jsu if they are 2014 needs the following upper brass size 60 trumpets 25 mellos if they are that deep..... I think the one challenge is not to be like 50 trumpets and 30 mellos where the balance may get lost
