2:14 Some dude said "Is someone gonna play somethin besides B flat?" Those are F's tf.

@5:20 the greatest moment in tuba history

Just a sousaphone workshop is what this is man!! BSU impressed me at 5:11 but VSU had it the whole time

At 5:12 he did his shit he played the hell outta that part. Still watching in 2k21 love this battle. Horsepower some straight bullies lol gotta love it

Best tuba battle on KZfaq!

i can say that im impressed i checked the clips and im impressed with the sound

what the hell is up with the beggining of this video?!?!?!?!?!

you guys got alot of talent i like the sound that y'all crank out id like to see yall take on NSU and Hampton University or maybe MBU

Not sure who they are …. But the smaller section ;;;;murdered the larger one. crisp, clear …lots of melodies!!.. baller!!!

I love the Intro!

U just gota love da hypeness.. #sousa world shawwttyyy

loved the intro nice work and the battle haha they was getting hype. overall both held their own but it would have been even better if vsu let bsu play their whole punch before coming back at them.

@cuhstuba00 You can see plenty of other videos of VSU Horsepower but to answer the question VSU is Virginia State University located in Petersburg, VA about 30 minutes from the capital (Richmond). BSU (Bowie State University) is located in Bowie, Maryland.

God damn I would love the score to that tuba solo, does anyone have it or figured it out?

i Know the numbers are low this year but i would like to know when you will post some more videos?

What's the song that starts at 6:25

What is the name of the song at 5:10-ish.

Does anybody know what the solo at 3:55 is?

question how many of yall are there on that section ?

Yes, it was a night game and both bands marched back to the band room.

Gentlemen do u have any idea of the name of that fanfare bowie played at 5:07

I cant get enough of this video! I love how disrespect horsepower is!

@cuhstuba00 Yes, BSU is still in full uniform. VSU was half dressed on their way home when they came back out to battle.

Good job BSU. That was a fun night...maybe next time we'll open the book..lls

Nathan, there are plenty of clips up here of Horsepower battling NSU. VSU has battled Hampton as well and a tone of others. Look for their Honda clips and Labor Day classic clips.

Parris is the name of that run at 3:10 and is it all 1 3 and 5 cords?

I love me some horsepower, but BSU wasn't backing down. This was a much better battle between them. Go Horsepower!!!

What's the name of the solo at 5:05

Damn this is one of the reasons why i wanna join horsepower.

Good Job BSU & VSU!!! Great battle!!! This video is TIGHT!!! LOLOL

So hey yea im new to these guys. I was wondering where VSU and BSU are actually located.

Can someone who is a sousaphone/tuba player at any college please tell me how do you guys know what to play when playing fanfares. The beginning of this video they where play cords and adding on just how do you know?

The beginning killed me. Him talking over the clip lmao.

You a fool for that intro

To be honest Bowie state won this battle, but V-State was very rude and disrespectful when Bowie state was playing something really nice.

5:05 which song do they play there? It sounds great

Whta's that called at 3:27???? PLease Reply

the category in the description!

HA! I LOVE THE WARRIORS! nice vid as always!

VSU averages between 14-16 depending on band size and miliary/work schedule during the season.

Both sections pulled off some nice harmonies, but Music from "The King and I" put BSU over the top.

Wats the solo at 5:12?

For the record the piece at 5:12 is called "Habanera" not Carmen

We tried to make it happen at Honda. We had the lower level banquet area of the hotel set up for it but TnSU left Saturday after Honda so it didn't happen. Maybe next time.

aite cool ill check yall out

Well DAMN!

I'd love to see VSU vs TnSU.

BSU KILLED IT @ 5:12

just to be sure BSU are the ones fully dressed right? i dont have a good enough quality on my phone to tell the difference.

@jesseplata Habanera from Carmen by Bizet

my mans MIKE killed the carmon solo LOL!!

too coooool

VSU Horsepower at its best. Bowie St DAMN.

i

I miss the old horsepower but good job to both section props to Bowie state though

Bowie came a long damn way.... and they were entertaining... hell i'll give em a W just for that lol

@Beanz826 Not exactly accurate. VSU did there drumline and the band went into the building. Bowie was further up the street and by the time they marched around to their buses on the other side of the building and finished kicking down, VSU was already in the building changing to leave. BSU blocked up outside and did a few call outs and the rest is on tape...

It almost happened the previous year but Tenn St. went home right after Honda.

Who was vsu?

@Qminor7 that waz the point of the battle to crank over the other section - _ -

Horsepower!!!

5:06 best fanfare ever i swear! Vsu killed by hittin that deebo during the fanfare! >:/

bowie has heart love it

Horsepower!

from what i was told bowie waited tell hp went in the building and then tried to call them out

anyone who says BSU won this should be tested. VSU did them in with ease.

WOW

If there's anyone that knows how to play 'Deebo', it'd be VSU

1:53 "that's a whole new group"

somebody was cruisin for a bruising lol

???

So this is how sousaphones communicate

@ladycurl2xcel Nooooo Its Not rude To Play Ova The BAnd That Stoped You From Going Home And Called You Out All VSU Did Was Whoop That Ass And Showed Them Who House That Is Thats All!

Not sure. Probably won't see them again until the championship game. No telling.

damn look like 30 of yall

At 5:05 bsu took the win. Vsu tubas get down but they lost this one.

i say both groups were pretty good but id like to VSU attempt to play spook horse power got alot of talent as well as many other tuba sections i'd like to see em battle "LOWDOWN" from HU and "BODACIOUS" from NSU in a 3 way battle that would be interesting

On som REAL, coming from a Shaw Bear, good job BOWIE! Bowie came with it!

v.s.u. got it but it was a hot battle

The trombones tho

but hole time this was a good battle, but whole time tho wish VSU woulda played more fanfares tho!!

BSU Had Better Fanfares But There Tone Is Off . VSU Had Better Tone, Thats All .

wheeeww dat thang crank @3:11

Next time try having same number of tuba players

idk, i'd make a strong case for TSU knowing how to play it.

bsu got this one. sounds like vsu was mad and wanted to blow over bsu. vsu had numbers but they got beat. that shit @ 5.05 was dope.

still sound good though

@Pooty21 HUH?!?!?!?!?

Whaddaya bet all these 11 dislikes are band directors?

Press 6.

They lost why was they so hype at the end!?!? That dude killed Carmen tho!

dis wont da right time to try to go through yo whole set list of songs...just crank dats it

bowie went in

BSU I was the best until the end when VSU blew them out tof the water

HORSEPOWER CRANKED ON THEM AND SHOWED THEM WHAT HAPPEN WHEN YOU TRY TO PLAY THEIR SHIT THATS WHY BSU LEFT AND DIDNT PLAY ANYTHING ELSE BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT THEY LOST

Hosepower all day...

Lmao hell yeah!!!

i love 5:12!!!

5:20 they actually started playing like they are intended good tone but the bigger group wtf blast everything who cares about sound quality dont make us sound bad....

vsu showed up half dress vsu said fvck that shit vsu killed they ass
