i dont go to JSU...or play mello....but from what ive heard year in and year out (even dating back), JSU has never really had arrangements to have the mellos cut thro like SU or other bands. Most of their arrangements are written for the mellos to add that background flavor to the song...not hold some of the louder parts...
Actually Kings are a good brand for mellos [as long as you get a more recent model] and I think they have probably some of the better looking in terms of aesthetics... Now Blessings... they are TERRIBLE and unbalanced and they look and sound like tubby ass trumpets [I own one I got offa e-bay... and it serves it's purpose but it aint all that good]. Dynastys are mediocre [slightly painful on the hand from my experience] and Yamahas are excellent and ergonomic. I'd go for a section with all Kings/Yamahas [203 or 204 models].
I do agree that Jstate's mellos are NOT up to par with the rest of the band however. The reason probably isn't the arranging aspect, probably more so that they are not as developed a section as you see in other SWAC schools such as SU, whose mellos have a reputation for being the best ALWAYS.

maybe im trippin cuz i can hear jsu's mellos, especially dis year loud and clear....................but they aren't up-to-par to da band or to other mello sections
That is no excuse to fill up a song that is what second and third Trumet and Tbons are for Plus Tubas Mello are Mad for the melody and counter melody if not i wonder why they are called mellophone i really need to hear a btter JSU mello section next year
I give the proops on aonly Two song
What ever you like
Hootie HOO
JSU has never been a Mello band.....and speaking from an arrangement POV, they will never be featured.....JSU mellos are background instruments....sure they might sneak in a note here & there, but that is all they'll get
I guess thats why you Have a lil wayne pic who cares when the pic came out they still dont have any mellos and i know what year it is High school ki huh
