I’m 64 years old and was a teenage trumpet band member and recall my band Director- Mr. Wolf - lending me the Chase album with this and other songs. Great Album. I still listen to these songs. Great jazz rock of the 70s. Anyway - I damaged the album and begged my Father ( RIP) to buy a replacement and him being the hero to me and my 6 brothers- he sacrificed Saturdays looking for this elusive piece of music art. Finally we found it and I took it to Mr. Wolf after one summer band session. My Dad my hero!

Absolutely wonderful

hell yeah go zips

Let’s go zips legendary

0-12 XD

poopie butthole

Man in love this show my high school band played this show this year and it was a blast got best in brass at every competition. Go low brass!

GO ZIPS

This show was butchered. To be honest it sounded terrible

no drum feature?! boo

I'm actually doing this show of my season in color guard right now!!!

I can't wait to add to this tradition this coming fall.

Akron Zips are the 2015 champions of the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl!

On Get it On the low brass should've been an octave down on the main riff; tubas at least.

Wow, I knew David Coy when he was in high school, I sure do miss his bright smile! Proud of you, David!

The soloist sounds like middle schooler

You guys played a great and exciting game with us i thought you guys where going to upset us i congratulate you on a good game. This is a michigan fan saying this too

Where are the majorettes?

Solo's are too quiet

Would LOVE to see the Skyline show.Maybe post a video? Thanks,Ted

LOVED IT....I had never seen that before and what a great job the band did on our songs.I played trumpet and sang with Chase from the Vegas rehearsals....through the Ennea record.Thanks so much for the post.Ted

dude im fuckin swag

im playing this for my opener for my marching band...i cant wait♥

Skyline high school is going to do this show aswell........... not bad cant wait

@junkyman2 Totally agree. Gonna do a Chase tune, gotta have the high notes haha

I think doing a Bill Chase piece not utilizing a high note trumpet player is a no no. I have all the Chase , Ennae, and pure Music albums and although he is great at improve, he is noted for his high notes. You gotta let one or 2 of your trumpet players cut loose ala chase like. Band sounded great expect it missed the sizzle & sheer excitement of the missing high notes. I can't march at all or probably play as good as you guys but hopefully you guys take this constructively. Peace Guys

Was this the Kent game?

What's up with the dancers in front? Improve time?

@nap1596 alto with amazing tone :)

I'm from the Class of 1976.....I like the old versions the best!!!!! Go Zips!

You should post Malaga!

Its 6:55, and KENT STILL SUCKS!

I really love Chase and Ferguson but I don't hear any screechers, the drum cadence was similar to a middle school band but as far as the songs themselves, I loved them. I'm not gonna hate on you for some good music, I was just expecting more out of a college band. I have actually heard better at our high school state competitions in Iowa from the bigger schools. Great talent!

Playing this whole set for my high school. I'm f horn/mellophone. and just saying, the horns have the one part that is JUST them in "Open Up Wide". Those guys need to play out, like for real.i heard like 3, one being louder than the other. Also need to syncopate with the low brass at 1:18 . But I'm impressed, to do it this fast, that many sets, is incredible^.-

Beautiful.

"I don't know...I want some blood"...lol!

You prooobably shouldn't mention where you're doing this, since you're not supposed to be doing it in there lol

Heeeell to the yeah!

I had never seen Kent State's band before this game and I was amazed by the difference in quality between Akron and Kent. Kent almost reminded me of a mediocre high school band *sorry*. Go Zips!

Fuck. Yes. Go us.

A Festival Prelude lead into the banner... interesting. Looking forward to seeing you guys tomorrow!

have never heard words to this song! hahahaha, but its not Akron U! its the university of akron

love it just one problem... its not AKRON U! its the university of akron! the words are supposed to be: ZZZZZip! zip go the zippers, akron TRUE But other than that I bleed blue and gold! KSUcks! GO ZIPS!
