[@ThomasWarnerNoblePhDeez]

I'm getting tears. I remember it like it was yesterday!

[@Godfather1898]

Just a reminder... Honda told the bands NOT to play in the Tunnels. Who listens to people with authority in Band Life? It started with the smaller groups first. (Morehouse, CAU, and JCSU) were playing at each other. What didn't make it on to this footage was TSU playing R. Kelly's Ignition Remix. THAT is what made u want to play. 400 wasn't counted off... The Tuba Section said, "We're Going to Play" They Counted it Off and this is what was recorded. "Bia Bia" was not counted off either...a lead in works well for bands.

[@SecretSauce_24]

You right

[@mribbon89]

As a former Tuba player this makes me so proud

TSU played " just getting it on" by Playa Fly. That's an underground classic. People saying that song is not a crunk as Bia Bia and 400 Degreez have to be young. I would have loved to see the brass section not woodwinds, but they were in formation. so that's understanding.

i remember this...i was at this BOTB and you could hear this in the stands...shit was epic...im from Atlanta and i grew up watching this band...hate they lost their accreditation because i always wanted to go there...probably the main reason i went to SCSU is for the opportunity to march for Mr. Ellis...
