I just finished writing a piece based on this for two tubas

11:03 not the announcer saying "Now im warning yall its about to get stupid in here"

I like them both!

🧡🧡

FAMU is undefeated with ballads. TSU SU JSU

This is so cool as I am sure the whales would have enjoyed this wonderful music, too! Big hugs to the musicians.

Before even listening, I bet FAMU has the best rendition, lol

FAMU all day. The arrangement is what killls all competition FAMU is well known for that. Most band directors can’t compose hits like FAMu.

S.U.

More of this

They sound really good just missing that high C

1. FAMU 2. SU 3. TSU 4. JSU (I have no idea what that was)

What in the world was JSU doing?

4:32-4:47 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

FAMU.

I enjoyed both. They both had me on my feet. Felt like running!

#1. SU (band directors Haymer & Taylor were SUPER lit) #2. FAMU #3 TSU - not true to song, weird piccolo & flute parts #4 JSU - MESSED W/THE SONG...took out key elements plus went off melody w/piccolos & flutes #5 NC A&T - DIDN'T LIKE THEIR VERSION - b/c of that drum (corps bands use) that sounds like someone's knocking on the door

Thanks for putting together this video! It was great!

DISCLAIMER: Strong dislike for FAMU. They must hate R&B & the emotional intensity of these songs. They are the anti-SU. It was like the song was crying out to be put out of its misery. Terrible injustice was done here. #1 SU - stunningly beautiful, poignant, passionate arrangement & performance #2 JSU - (I actually never bothered to listen to theirs before.) #3 Talladega #3. FAMU - DISQUALIFIED for not even trying to play the song as it was recorded.

1. FAMU, 2. TSU and SU. 4. JSU.

Because the 100 was getting destroyed on this night by the Aristocrats, I'm sure this song was needed for their spirit of heaviness

Tubas and woodwinds coming through fr 😭✊🏽🔥🔥 this lowkey sound good 👏🏽🔥🔥🔥

FAMU was dreadful. It wasn't even the same song. In reality, only the chorus reminds you of what song THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO BE PLAYING. No band should perform after SU. Fundamentally, every arrangement was flawed except Southerns NOT b/c of their musicianship BUT BECAUSE they were the most honest. This song is sadness mixed w/longing & hope. Those emotions were divorced from the other bands' performances. #1 SU DISQUALIFIED - TSU, FAMU, JSU. WHY? B/c the central theme & essence of this song is a lament - a cry for love lost or gone AND the song's main instrument is Johnny Gill's voice married w/the song's haunting chorus. I have no idea what the other three arrangers hoped to convey/impart w/the fanfares, dramatic stops & other shenanigans. Honest arrangement is best & one of SU's keys to success.

FAMU

Dam all of them almost made me cry

1. SU 2. JSU 3. FAMU 4. TC

FAMU all day

Famu Tsu Southern university

Who’s first in the video, should answer anyone’s questions

Famu just smooth and clear.

Southern put more life into it. The sound like they just sight reading it for the hell of it!

Versions! More please. ( we're in a pandemic)

SU HUMAN JUKEBOX HAS THE BEST VERSION! 🎷

Hands down SU was the best, no one remotely came close.

That trombone part gets me every time!!!
