@5:20 the greatest moment in tuba history

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

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!

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

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

@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.

I love the Intro!

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

You a fool for that intro

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

the category in the description!

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

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

question how many of yall are there on that section ?

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

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

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

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

What's the song that starts at 6:25

my mans MIKE killed the carmon solo LOL!!

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

aite cool ill check yall out

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

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

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.

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

Well DAMN!

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

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

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

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.

I'd love to see VSU vs TnSU.

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

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?

@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...

i

@jesseplata Habanera from Carmen by Bizet

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

Horsepower!

BSU KILLED IT @ 5:12

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

VSU Horsepower at its best. Bowie St DAMN.

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

Horsepower!!!

too coooool

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

So this is how sousaphones communicate

bowie has heart love it

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?

somebody was cruisin for a bruising lol

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

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

Who was vsu?

WOW

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

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

damn look like 30 of yall

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

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

wheeeww dat thang crank @3:11

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

Next time try having same number of tuba players

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

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

The trombones tho

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

???

@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!

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

Whaddaya bet all these 11 dislikes are band directors?

VSU are some babies they knew they were losing so they started playing while BSU was playing 5:41 thats just plain disrespectful and amateur...its a battle you don't do that.!!!!

Press 6.

still sound good though

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

VSU is the group that came out the band building in shorts and band tops off. Bowie was still in full uniform.

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

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

bowie went in

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.

VSU Cranked Tf Outta Them Tho .

wow what up with that camera man he freak out there

I just feel like if y'all gon call them out knowing what you were up against, you should've came better prepared. Horsepower gets the W again...

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....
