We came from out of state to this show.This band was Simply Amazing. My 9th grade Marching Band Daughter was in Heaven! I am going to Donate to the Band. We need to support these dedicated young ppl!

More and more I see Simmons putting the old Ocean things back...quads out of the drill, faster tempo for drilling, hit 40yds first, Ocean beat from the right side coming out of the hole, interacting with the crowd during the drill and dance routine, symmetry with percussion. He's also really cleaned up alot of things, wonderful. Just wonderful. And that sound. Wonderful! They sound like a giant jazz-funk-soul big band. I KNOW Prof Butler is so proud! Ocean alum 01-03, section leader. Law school grad. Lemme gone n give some money...

S/O to ALL the SU people coming to comment on TSU... Gotta love it. 🙃🥴Lol. FYI. We aren't watching you, SU. 🤷🏾‍♂️

The crazy thing is, they’ve been drilling like this all season. This is why they will be one of the top bands in the nation, not just in HBCUs.

The Difference is Clear 🔥🔥🔥 Cudos to not only Simmons and Staff/Admin but proud of the students that make up this band and their dedication to rebuilding this program! There has been drastic, consistent improvement the past 2-3 years and that says a lot. Great job Ocean! 🌊🌊🌊

I crabbed 06 and I'll never take anything away from Gip and what he did for the ocean....but these new niggas on a whole other level. I knew there had to be a better way to pull off drills man lol. we used to spend so much time out there for some OK field shows. I love everything about this new era, especially the part of keeping it OCEAN. TRUMPET CONNECTION 1983 FALL 2006🎺🌊

This might be the best drill I’ve ever seen and honestly I don’t think it’s even close 🤯🔥🔥🔥

Simmons really studied txsu to rebuild without taking away from traditions !! He’s a goat and this coming from a jstate person.

Man at the 14:02 mark them mellos and Trumpets left earth. Got damn, Sh*t was crucial!!!!

By far the best show from what I've seen. I can't say I'm surprised. This was high energy, precision packed, and crisp sounding field show. TXSU actually kept you engaged and this one of few swac bands where the field show is an afterthought. I'm glad to see Mr. Simmons has kept TXSU close to it's tradition while incorporating some new ways of doing things. This is still recognizable as the Ocean of Soul. Those euphos still making some big time noise.

Mannnnnn!!!Wished I could’ve been there to witness this in person. The best performance I’ve ever seen. Proud DAD @ Carnell Butler III

😮 Was my face the entire time! This was ten leagues beyond phenomenal! The nostalgic feeling I get when I first saw an HBCU band is the feeling I get when watching TXSU!!! Y’all are breathing life back into the HBCU band world. I’m booking my plane tickets for TXSU VS JSU RIGHT NOW!!! 😅😅😅That matchup in Veterans Memorial is going to be BOOMBOX LEVEL!!!

I’m not even done watching the video and I have already gone through so many different emotions of awe and excitement! Simmons/staff/students have literally restored excitement back into drilling, precision, and trying different daring things all while maintaining the TXSU swag that makes them so unique! Love this band Simmons/staff are literally some young hungry entertainment geniuses!!!!

What an INCREDIBLE performance TSU Ocean Of Soul 🌊. TSU definitely had the best band there, from all the bands that I've seen so far. I still have to watch Alabama State and Langston though. TSU sound, as well as both precision drills were well on point. TSU has made a complete turn around. The flags were awesome as well. Motion field show was truly OUTSTANDING! Motion and SU Dolls are the TOP 2 teams when it comes to the field from what I've seen. Well done Mr. Simmons, Danielle Stamper and Staff! ♥♥♥♥

Don't mess with Texas! Those screaming first trumpets. Wow. Thanks for sharing your talents.

Great Job Ocean. Incredible job Brian Simmons and all Staff/Admin for the excellence you guys are putting forth. I love it. Thanks for the tribute to my best friend (RIckey Smiley) son's memory. Total class!!!

They sound so strong mane... solid

6:55 going right into _Surrender - Lalah Hathaway_ from the *Hidden Figures* Soundtrack was a mind blowing surprise! The fact that this song was only played at the very end of that historical movie, but yet was thought of in the consciousness of the Director or Arranger to be played on this field, shows the Director and arranger know their soundtrack history. 💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥

1:38 sheesh ... this a new Wave or that Oldschool one... cause... damn! And nice intro! Beautiful 🙏

The entire band showed out!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I have to give credit where it is due… TxSU is the best drilling band for the 2022 and looking very bright for the 2023 season… KEEP IT UP OCEAN💯 KZfaq👉CCB TV😁🤷🏾‍♂️🍿🍿🍿

Texas Southern University 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊

Very nice sound and drill TXSO

What song are they playing on that diamond drill that was amazing...

Wow

I am so Proud 👏 of Prof. B. Simmons and staff. The current Ocean Members are doing there thing Outstanding. I hope we can retire the Quads and get back to the FT original setup no shade, but the field show coming out the hole is Traditional Ocean. 1 Love

Good job Ocean

Great job TSU. Even though they not the biggest Simmons has brought the student work ethic and musicianship. Similarities like Jukebox which os my favorite band but TSU is definitely my next favorite.

I like the drill!

I feel like this was the best show

If they ever get more band members to join the program, they gone enter the top 3 for sure joining SU and JSU

go tsu !! go carnell and lailaaa💗!!

🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊

What is the name of the last song they played at 13:27?

What’s the name of that last song they played?

Nice show But get Brian Simmons of the Mic Please.

5:25

Anybody know the name of that last song?

Song at 9:43?

Hard to believe this band(The Ocean of Soul) and the Mighty Marching Hornets are the only 2 bands in the SWAC that march System Blue instruments. Thing is, B.A.C Music don't even distribute System Blue Instruments anymore.

News drums 👀

They remind me so much of Southern U...
