TSU Ocean of Soul Halftime with UH Spirit of Houston

Texas Southern University "Ocean of Soul Halftime followed by a joint performance with University of Houston "Spirit of Houston" Band.

More unity in the collegiate band world. Different styles can learn from each other. For many years people tried to shame show style, if you want to call it that and even started using elements of "show style" in their programs. Music is a universal language and it's for everyone! Be great together and respect each other! Good job TXSU and U of H!

From a OLD ALUMNI Ocean of Soul Drum Major (1978-1980).... I am IMPRESSED!! For decades, these Universities are only separated by Scott st...and IN MY LIFETIME, I got to see this union!! LOVE IT!! MAJOR KUDOS to the Media team. Technology has allowed for this extremely nice, professional piece of created art. The 2 bands did I great job of uniting as well! And I want to Thank GOD, ...for clearing out the rain just in time for game time! Again KUDOS!! (Can't wait till Homecoming!)

If we could all work that way God bless them all it was beautiful.

[@jaazdadiva]

Every time I watch this, I get teary eyed! #togetherwestand

[@tjmac1906]

better together than we will ever be apart. way to represent Htown's finest (UH AND TSU)

[@johnpriest8909]

It's a beautiful thing.

[@mamared329]

It was awesome to see both schools perform as one! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@DRDGreen14]

That dance break look a fool but its cool that these bands were able to get together for this performance. Great job!

[@georgefoley928]

Great show! I’m so proud to have been apart of the ocean, may have been a short time but always a fan!

[@victorharris144]

Baby that’s how you come back motion y’all killed this even better the the first two games... love the new additions.. y’all killin sumthing

[@WildoutWithDChris]

The whole band killed it, but the motion gave me life!

[@suekebee6553]

I literally just cried! This was such a Dope performance ❤😁🙌🏽

[@IamJesusWalks]

"Mom, I was cool!" Those white girls and white boys that may have always felt socially awkward got a chance to feel like they were cool. The smiles on their faces; priceless! I'm very happy for The Spirit of Houston band for being able to step out of their element, go off the books, and let their hair down! #3rdWardLove My eyes got wattery watching us smile walking off the field while knowing once upon a time, the only reason TSU was created was because blacks weren't allowed at UH. If it weren't for them we wouldn't be here, and to see us today APPEARING to be one, and equal although knowing we're not. I love TSU man. I loved seeing this illusion of "separate but equal" as the facts are still very painful and hurtful to see a beautiful, talented, and brilliant people be outcasted and discriminated upon based on something beyond our control. A Ward divided, but here appearing #HoustonStrong. Not mad at all, and very glad to see these two schools appear to have mutual respect for one another. Now run us our check, and Tilman Fertitta, show us some love! We both can be a collective great hub for creating the Engineers and leaders of tomorrow, not just for the city if Houston, but the state, gulf coast region, the nation, the world! God bless the Ocean, and God bless Texas Southern!

IamJesusWalks my 👀 done the same this was so amazing

[@KJinTX]

Love the comment bruh. Definitely true. UH has done this before. Not the first joint performance with an hbcu. Says a lot about at least them trying to bring harmony between two cultures. Good job Ocean. See ya'll Oct. 13th!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHTRc6ebaJyGhpo

[@clearlakeecd7185]

It was done even before that. In 2006, the UH band performed with both the TSU and Grambling bands, and in 2004, UH and TSU performed together at the Super Bowl Halftime. Here's the UH band with Grambling in 2006: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3WmiH-khLmhfpo

[@KJinTX]

@@clearlakeecd7185 That Superbowl show was 🔥!! I remember that! I wonder how many pwi's have done this with hbcus? As far as Grambling, the first Superbowl was a joint performance with Arizona. They've also joined with Washington State's band. It's all good to me, just respect our culture just the same. SWAC bands work HARD.

[@maxman-357]

Looks like everyone had much fun that's what it's all about.

[@Lakechalakin]

I love this ! 💙

[@floydbraziel1577]

This shows the NCAA OUR HARD WORK BRIDGING THE GAP THAT THE NCAA SHOULD BRING CLOSER SCHEDULE THIS GAME FOREVER SO WE HBCU N PWI CAN FOCUS ON EDUCATION INSTEAD OF RACE DIVISION GREAT JOB BOTH UNIVERSITIES

[@drequynnrod5077]

Grambling did this with them in 2014 they did the dance routine with grambling this brings unity between two schools. Good job

[@fountainmedia4683]

Awesome job Ocean Of Soul! The band sounds aweaome, and I love the drill tune, "And The Beat Goes On" by "The Whispers". I only wish the band uniform capes were smaller, because some of them look as if they're wearing full size sheets on their backs.

[@sordidC]

Won't happen. The original Ocean capes were meant to be long to look like actual "capes" and have always been unique. If they make them smaller than they would be like southern and everyone would again claim "they wanna be southern". So no. Keep the cape keep it Ocean. Period.

[@KKence-bl6fu]

Nice!

[@IamJesusWalks]

The way I picture the Ocean right now, we're on a High and we can't come down! To even have The Jukebox, The Storm, or Sonic Boom on our radar is a disservice to us, where we are, and what being the Ocean is heading! We trek our own paths. We make our own rules. The Seas obey no one, no thing, no man, no object, no bounds, no bands! With this mass of water, you never know what you're gonna get. We're liable to play anything because we are The Ocean doing what we love....doing our own thing, defying "the box" SWAC bands are put in! Keep loving what you do Ocean! Every member has to find love in who they are and what they do in this program. The Ocean has to be its own entity. Trusting each other as themselves! A family of safety and security. Unable to be permeated by the outside forces, as you all are one Sea, one wave, one force, one body, one motion! Finding that security will spilleth over and the world will see it and have no choice to love it! Keep moving in sync. You are indestructible when you move together! You cause destruction as one! I'm very proud of where this band is, what it is shaping into being. This band has become very attractive. I can tell everyone involved from the top-down loves what they do, and don't take it for granted! A fresh spirit has fallen upon the program, and all of you are to be recognized by your truth, love, and investment each day as one band. Keep these Seas raging! Keep coming with music and changing the direction as whichever the winds blow! You are the force! You are Houston's 2nd natural resource and you will own the lands, drowning them all everywhere you tread! KEEP MOVING OCEAN! TSUProud! The New Ocean! Go TSU! CONGRATULATIONS!

[@IamJesusWalks]

Dear Motion, I expressed pure dissatisfaction with you last week, and if I can comment when I dissaprove, I need to commend you where it's deserved! You ironed the kinks out and made it look great as it should look. Thank you for rising to the occassion and bouncing back! You are the greatest! Thank you!

[@jessicaharris9693]
