NSU vs VSU tuba battle 2009

[@Tubamaster2292010]

great battle

[@djdatman18]

yo vsu horsepower str8 pumped, they aint have but wat like 7 ppl and they cranked and was still bout as loud if not louder than nsu wit they whole 27 tubas.....Where they do that at???? 27 tubas??? Thats just stupid

[@tokyotrap2579]

Who has the 2004 battle where bro from VSU played the Tuba and made ir sound like a cello on the sweet dreams fanfare

[@superfluousness321]

The world is full of amazing people doing creative things. A boy types in sousaphone into youtube in england and gets this amazing display of talent. Awesome.

[@shungokusatsulol]

i liked VSU better b/c the fanfare and the power they came wit was just great but i well say the balanes of NSU having 27 tubas was awsome that shit anit eazy wit 27 tubas so mad props to both and the only time NSU got blown out was 2006-07 other then that they abt the same just depends on what u like more VSU'S musicality OR NSU'S power

[@yunolks3]

what song is this?

[@plwilliams1983]

Tone Quality, Balance, and Fullness of Notes is what u should judge the winner on in this video. NOw make your decision from there. B Phi B 05

[@757PercussionSTS]

My homeboy vick.....Horsepower got DOWN again.

[@TheOsk1e]

goddamn thats NSU tuba section! what year is this?

[@quis2]

HP was out numbered 4-1, but resuls was still the same as usual. Bodacious sound nice, but numbers can't win it alone. Big ups to HP for not backing down.

[@Ceobeatmaker]

that's a solid understanding of how these two sections work. nsu for the longest stressed power and did what the tuba is sposed to do..play lows...but these last two years showed me that they are grasping the concept that power and what the instrument is supposed to do doesn't always get you a W. nsu wasn't as good as they were last year, but i like how they are learning how to evolve their fanfares now. too bad this was their last shot at HP. i hear theres no more LDCs after this one.

[@DHSshockwave]

it waz clean i want to b horsepower in 2011

[@natedog2004]

question what were the guys in green playing ? it was sick man sick!!!!! :D i used to play a tuba believe it or not ;)

[@stareke320]

this is a great example of size means nothing its about what u can do on your horn. yes i went to vsu also and in my opinion horsepower out played nsu. ofcourse they could never be louder than nsu because of the size and it would be stupid to try to so hp took the smart approach out play them and they did much respect to nsu because they have stepped there skills up, and good job paris gettin them boys in shape

[@tubadawg100]

Horse power all day!!!!!

[@KapitolKartoon09]

@DARKSAMURAI713 since wen is overblowin percise?

[@Camron149]

Much Respect 2 Both VSU n NSU They Both Killin It !!!! but 4real all all those tubas relly nessasary lol !!!

[@nathanjoerndt8804]

i say the more the better!!!!!!

[@FretFretTRW]

That shit was mad clean as it went on! Mad Props to VSU!

[@FreakinForte]

I beg to differ Norfolk didn't hand any loses when they came down. Especially after being there myself and clips included it was a no win game. I agree SCSU needs to bring an A+ game only because this is their first gym battle and they need to finally erase the " big band with no sound" idea of them.

[@KapitolKartoon09]

hp fanfares r easy to learn like real eay if u have an ear

[@jorut07]

thought i was the only person that noticed that lol

[@Ceobeatmaker]

dvar and that other dude werent even there...that goes to show you that more than just two people in that section has that ability...and they make sure to use it.

[@Gil172]

Welp just learned one of nsu's fanfares...hold on another one...wait ANOTHER ONE AND ANOTHER!!!

[@Conn20kz]

Honestly the whole "NSU better not sleep on SCSU" is stupid. NSU has been on fire for years and ONLY continue to get better each year. SCSU got their asses handed to them last year when the legion went down there. If anything South Carolina better bring their A+++++ game cuz no doubt the legion will do the same.

[@LovingMusic1390]

omg its ridiculious how many tubas NSU got

[@djdatman18]

n yea that ending that vsu had was just nasty

[@BigBrod]

GET IN THERE BODACIOUS...LMAO!!!

[@KLOwN757]

what happin to vsu tubas size? but they still a beast!!!.... nsu size was amazing. nsu tubas really stepped up but i kno they could be louder

[@falenjo5]

I'm not saying saying that VSU was perfect. But they were much cleaner.

[@NikaNuVSU]

love it! keep it up boys!!

[@theinstructor3626]

Big ups to HP U would think NSU would take it but no HP is the Champs

[@taylormaid6721]

VSU sounded sloppy trying to over compensate. Too much splat. NSU took this one. In isolation the few that went to the basement where a tuba should be, outperformed VSU. VSU was boxy in parts. Paul Adams would have chewed VSU out for that. Bodacious over Horse Power. With all the numbers they didn’t over play because they didn’t have to.

[@jorut07]

Horsepower is still a beast even without the 2 "soloists" playing with them this year. This just shows that the other members of the section can step up and bring the heat just as well. The whole section stepped up and came with it and took the victory again this year. Bodacious was great also. I enjoyed hearing both..it really was a close battle

[@TUBAGHOST1]

"oh dont crank on the lows" what niggaaa???? we pump the lowssssss at 5:48

[@Bobofwestoregonusa]

@porkboi Oh, my mistake then man. Hey, those guys have some CLEAN upper range. That's one things I forgot to mention. Really consistant sound in all of their ranges, upper and lower. hehe

[@ALLMIGHY100]

I give it to NSU, simple fact that they stay in the range of a TUBA!, horsepower is a talented section, but I feel like they just do too much sometimes, shit that really dont matter, thats my opinion, Bodacious Basses held it down!

[@llevron]

Lol SHAW? Common now. Dont nobody give a daymn about shaw lol. Seriously though, SHAW???

[@DoItAll50]

VSU was Over Blowing and out of tune.. without their soloist they sound like a pretty good highschool.

[@FreakinForte]

Honestly Bodacious need to be ready for TBI at SCSU. Don't sleep they can be just as creative as HP and don't forget they 're as deep as you guys are. I admit you guys are good don't get me wrong but I just don't want you to already claim a best tuba section title and sleep on TBI.

[@Bobofwestoregonusa]

for real. lol horse power is TINY and NSU is SWOLLED

[@Conn20kz]

Although I feel differently, if SCSU is anything like people are describing this year then this should make a VERY interesting weekend. Can't wait!

[@falenjo5]

Then you try going up against a section with more than double your numbers. I liked VSU better. Because I like their style and how they play. They can play LOUD for their size. And from what I can hear, it doesn't sound bad at all. Anyone who says it does has some sort of a bias and shouldn't even reply. NSU wasn't bad either. I just happen to like VSU more.

[@acura763]

@nuphiomega1apollo yea thats true they were over blowing BUT..... it was hot!

[@porkboi]

@Bobofwestoregonusa nah they aint graduate just yet...

[@miltdud09]

i hate to say this but hp is a section that changes its tone and size every year now with there size they crush nsu this year i expect more from bigger section and nsu did not do that lets go hp

[@Bobofwestoregonusa]

Both of them sections are monsters. NSU got bass and a fat full sound. VSU got that crazy tech and volume for a small section. lol buth them cats who was always blowin' the solos, Dvar and the other dude, graduated. Still raw though. both of them.

[@jorut07]

i love that "regulators" cut that bodacious threw in there. nice

[@Ceobeatmaker]

yeah thats true it should be physically impossible for 7 tubas to match the sound of 27 and clearly anyone with common sense could tell that...now as far as the types of fanfares played i mean...high school kids can play what nsu did but what about what HP did? but you be the judge on that

[@DerikWright]

BODACIOUSSSS

[@rickydbrick001155]

Horse Power got that, hands down! Bodacious was playing some old high school stuff.

[@woolly65]

Horsepower handles Bodacious every year in my opinion. Horsepower can match up well with any sousaphone section in the country.

[@KingDariusTheGr8]

@DoItAll50 dude were is u listenin at

[@Ceobeatmaker]

dude tuba sections play other tuba sections stuff all the time...its a matter of what you do with it. if you play it verbatim then its kind of wack but if you make it your own then cool...nsu and vsu both use each others fanfares and likewise from other sections... HP 04-08

[@falenjo5]

@EsSpecialProductions: Everyone takes fanfares from them. They are changing the game. Even my highschool section has plenty of things from them. It's sad for universities to be taking fanfares from other universities though.

[@taylormaid6721]

I see many here saying vsu had it? I guess that fell on deaf ears that don't understand acoustics and the science around low frequencies...anyway NSU all day

[@FromTheTopRopes]

I have said it a million time. These 2 need to meet at the end of the season (whole bands) It would do so much more justice to the quality of these bands. And holding your tubas up is gay. Just the opinion of an old head Bodacious. OneNineTwoTimes

[@RonaldStewart]

na, I think NSU got them last year. but that is the ONLY year. The horsepower came out witht he W this time though.

[@Wats4DINNER]

@BassClefKilla good point

[@Arkietuba]

vsu killed them with 7 dudes...end of story

[@Blastisimo]

yeah just like those high school kids do they try to play hp stuff but obviously its no where near the level of hp maybe some but not all

[@mrknowitall91]

NSU sounded great. Horsepower simply outplayed them once again. 7 years straight.

[@superbat00]

I would simply like to say that " EVERY PROFESSIONAL WAS ONCE A BEGINNER" , Whatever happened to encouragement? No matter how good you are or think you are, there is always someone better. Ever notice that kids watch and are learning faster at younger ages,......because they strive to be better than the person or persons they are watching..........I liked both sections, the sounds were good, now the entertainment part is what to judge!

[@nuphiomega1apollo]

is it nsu's fault that they have 27? and horsepower was tryin to overplay and honestly it sounds bad.

[@theman406]

@spookamillion wow im so suprised you knew what that was, good ear man...i heard the clip on youtube and we had to put it in the fanfare

[@JonathanCarson5150]

its like 1 mil vs 7 lol

[@Blastisimo]

lol watch in a couple weeks u will see high school kids postin clips playin what hp played cuz its easier to play that with smaller section most high schools have that same size.

[@tkalion92]

vsu sounded junky around 0:50 n 1:59 but da rest was tight;; nsu served em though;; dey shyt was clean as fuk

[@dh27545]

yooo!! that fanfare is from Shaw damn thats messed up!!!

[@757PercussionSTS]

Yu right Vick, HP still on top.

[@nsudizziac11]

VSU GOT SERVED...lol

[@AshleyK1003]

2 me both good but gotta give up 2 VSU

[@incognito04]

Man..... NSU tuba's has lost their style... they sound too much like VSU of old.. especially those punches... I think both sections tried to do too much... sometimes a little can mean lot. AEA F.O.F.

[@jniceness132]

VSU never Cease to AMAZE ME wow

[@KapitolKartoon09]

wat?? r u mad??? 7 str8??

[@ALLMIGHY100]

@sinceerest yeah sometimes you gotta tell it like it is, and I'm sticking to my words

[@NAB4]

Tubas shouldn't sound like baritones, or quacking ducks, or have splatting tones all over the place. That's not how Bodacious will ever play. Play some low notes, then come talk about being a tuba section.

[@jorut07]

wow are you serious? I dont think any high school section could pull off what hp did in this battle. they might try but it definitely won't compare

[@tkalion92]

vsu sounded a lil rough in a few spots but i still got respect 4 em cuz thts a biggas size diff;; overall they did gudd;; like like they shyt alot;; shyt was sick;; they killed that r.kelly though!!!! nsu came hella hard;; i like that 1st fanfare;; sounded mean but sweet at tha same time;; end cords was beast like hell!!!

[@KapitolKartoon09]

@DARKSAMURAI713 wow bruh u spotted a typo congrats. "VSU still ripped it harder not to mention their sound was far more precise." is that not your words? vsu didnt sound good in this clip not wen wen compared to the rest of the 09 season.

[@Bobofwestoregonusa]

No way that VSU can sound anywhere near as big as norfolk now. They boys just too swold. And VSU is too small. Still, both of them blowing. Much respect to both.

[@DARKSAMURAI713]

I'm still giving it to VSU just because NSU had numbers doesn't make them sound better its always quality over quantity and VSU still ripped it harder not to mention their sound was far more precise.

[@DoItAll50]

@tubasrule2012 "dude were is u listenin at" haha Wow... prayer goes out to ur institution of education.. but umm it starts at :50 lol bass line out of tune

[@falenjo5]

NSU was NOT clean. I have no idea where you got that idea from.

[@sousaphoneMonster]

Damn I love Horsepower but shit that was close.

[@DragonTheGreat]

I.B.L. is officially the SHIT!! NSU stealing punches now? 28 Tubas and not one of yall can get together and do yall own shit... NSU's Marching Band is how old? While Shaw's Marching Band is only 8 years old? NSU runnning out of fire seems to me..

[@nuphiomega1apollo]

Lol.what do ppl want from us ? but we dont need to entertain these void arguements.horsepower used to be the beast of the east.butthe title now belongs to bodacious ! im laughin at yall cuz yu can barely hear what h.p is playin but yet yall say they got at us.smh ! next victim please ! h.p and t.b is done ! low down next ?

[@KapitolKartoon09]

not clean??? and vsu was really tsk tsk

[@jayjay012299]

Just because you can play loud doesn't mean your the shit

[@nathanjoerndt8804]

i have to say that vsu had the upper hand in this battle!!!!!!! :D

[@dtwbuilds]

3:43-3:44!

[@KapitolKartoon09]

@DARKSAMURAI713 smh....

[@natedog2004]

@spookamillion that answers my question:)

[@lilbob223]

vsu won lol

[@DARKSAMURAI713]

@KapitolKartoon09 Lol at you dude calm down and drink a glass of tone it down some. I spoke my piece on it and that's final just because blowing some notes out and they sound bad does not make it good playing if you have an ear then you can tell when something is off. Like I said quality over quantity and if you're going say a word at least spell it correctly last time I checked it was spelled P-R-E-C-I-S-E and not P-E-R-C-I-S-E. You really find out how smart someone is when they speak. *SMH*

[@jtgarrett31]

SU Jags allll the way....lol

[@MrJoHnCoLt]

@TraceReames There black...all they do is talk and complain
