Tuba Section Comparison FAMU JSU ASU TXSU FMU AAMU NCCU NSU NCAT MVSU Reaction Review Steven Holiday

[@cchisolm92cc]

As an old-school tuba player (even at 31 years old) I miss when tuba sections played primarily in the lower regions of the horn. The high notes aren't really anything new and it's cool, but it's a tuba. Not a baritone.

[@thutmosedodd4429]

You just told the truth. Everyone wants to be loud.

[@bibbiana4Lyfe]

I find it very impressive when they're able to reach up into that upper register and still sound cohesive. I feel like it takes power and skill

[@cchisolm92cc]

@thutmosedodd4429 folks can be loud, but where's the quality of tone.

[@cchisolm92cc]

@bbvivertube it does. We started playing more high notes at jsu around 14 & 15. But them boys are something different now.

[@shadowism1]

I feel like it isn’t a matter of a loss of culture more so a evolution of it, while a lot of tuba sections do play in the higher register I feel like the current day fanfares for tuba has more variation when it comes down to complexities and stylistic choices in the fanfares, the old school fanfares are a lot simpler.

@sholiday. Luv the review bro. For FAMU's first fanfare, its called "White Whales" and its the name of the section. FAMU sousa philosophy is "short and sweet" and not over blowing. Oh So Sweet, Whompin' White Whales!!!

[@packman0439]

Until someone dethrones them, JSU Dawg Team is still the best.

[@Rickeytherealist1]

Preciate the love fam 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@tedwilliams185]

Famu gets my vote. They sound cleaner than the others.

[@maestrojmusic]

I like that NCAT fanfare

[@jazzman81]

I really like NCAT's last fanfare, does anyone know the name?

[@dball-cq2pe]

Famu tuba section has more sound and technique without all that bopping and moving around.. 🤦🏾‍♂️...

[@bibbiana4Lyfe]

Bopping and moving is awesome 👍🏾

[@samsuede2793]

@@bibbiana4Lyfebobbing and moving is a lot of wasted energy that can go into playing through the instrument instead of at the instrument.

[@bibbiana4Lyfe]

@@samsuede2793 Well that's one opinion. Enjoy your evening..

​@bbvivertube FAMU tubas not doing all that Oompa Loompa mess 🙄🙄

[@dball-cq2pe]

@@bibbiana4Lyfe 🤣yeah. Looking like they have erectile discomfort

[@areguapiri]

Remember, these are "sousa" tubas.

[@Yamama288]

You missed the new fanfare the famu tubas have

[@D.m.a.c.k]

Nsu didn’t play two fanfares. It was the same thing

[@delandomiles7674]

What happened to The Golden Stallions

[@StevenHoliday]

They will be in the next Tuba Thang vid.

[@jayk3874]

A&T tubas sounded like a storm was coming. . NSU tubas didn’t stand a chance. JSU was thumping this year for them to have smaller numbers in the tuba section

[@j_y06]

jsu put southern’s 30,000 tubas to shame 😭 T’s tubas been getting a lot better. Hear them practicing a lot and I have a lot of confidence they gon come out their shell more

[@travisjohnson2872]

🌊🌊🌊 but in all seriousness txsu jsu and grambling had the best tubas this year for me but i do like nncu and famu as well

[@marcuslyons7233]

What clip of gram tubas showing them going off. Just curious cause i wanna see it

[@profoundresolve]

I really like famus sound but their fanfares are kinda corny lol. They sound like a bass guitar and are veeeery balanced. I dont care much for the super "plucky" sound when some sections get high. It loses the character of the horn. You need a nice wide sound regardless of the range. This is a problem with euphs lately too, where some sections will try and play consistently above a high concert C. Just play mellophone instead lol. A nice ringing C goes well in SOME situations but choose it wisely. Ok rant over. Nice video.

[@conradkelly1423]

Stop playing FAMU aaaaalll day

[@profoundresolve]

@@conradkelly1423 read my first sentence. I liked it. But the fanfares are mid.

[@brianclark4143]

No Southern University Human Jukebox Gold Stallions No Watch....😢😢😮😮 smh

[@StevenHoliday]

They're in an upcoming video 🤫

[@ShutUpAndBump]

Don’t nobody care about SU tubas 😭😂 stallions the most inconsistent section in the swac after Bama state

[@jamarihodge6705]

Who cares about su they can’t even keep tempo

[@perrion357]

You should be glad all of them horn holders

[@marcuslyons7233]

Lmao 😂

[@delvinsalaam]

No BCU THIS B.S. YO

[@johnn5705]

Sad to say, but this is just a competition for 2nd place to Bethune Cookman.

[@steviewayne]

WHAT!!!?

[@Rickeytherealist1]

Cookman mid…. They never play anything new, and their sound is not the same at all

[@johnn5705]

​ @Rickeytherealist1 you don't need anything new if there's noone that can take you down. They just don't get the green light to play as in their past of destroying other HBCU counterparts.

[@daprofessakid]

Na the Dawg Team definitely on top right now. Everyone else is battling for second. We not talking about the past we in the present now

[@steviewayne]

@@johnn5705your logic is off. Just stop man.
