the best tuba line..nobody sings through their tubas like they do

this is still the greatest powerphone music ever written

So much soul in this it never get old for me.

My eyes tear up every time I listen to this. :')

LOOOOVEEEE VSU HORSEPOWER... BADAZZ TUBA LINE MANE

I watched this in hs in 2010. Best video.

This world is nothing without balance. With a gift like Horsepower, any gifts to the other sections would be unfair not only to the HBCU world, but to the band world as a whole.

Honestly only about 5 or 6 are not in school anymore. Everyone else is still on campus, they just didn't march the season but since we perform so much during the year, everyone stays fresh with rehearsals.

I miss my sousaphone. I should join y’all. This is greatest shit I’ve ever heard. This was 10 years ago?!

I was there 2.....Yea Dey Always Bringin it

I'm a Wildcat till I die. And I love my section "Da Rock". However, I like the way been doing it for years. Very diverse. Shouts out to VSU and all the alumni tuba players keeping these boys in check. Fall 2000 Marching Wildcats Freshman Section Leader Da Rock

That sounds so..... scrumptous. Amazing sound, man. Crazy. Out of this world!

omg how do they play like that its just mind blowing two thumbs up

right i so agree wish the rest of them was sweet like this

Horsepower at its best.Thats tight and brings chills.

omg i luv u guys yall r the best i heard so far n that guy thats directing he know his stuff i luv him

one of the best videos

Here you go again with the best videos man i know i can always relay on you to come with that fiya all the time

best tuba section hands down !!!!

This video old but its one of best tuba fanfares ive heard!

I have never seen anything like that before! Freakin awsome!!

no words at all just nice..wish yall could march this many!

so beautiful

in tone!!!!!!!!!!! sound so fucking good

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

I knew these guys couldn't be human

thanks man u r one cool guy

Whats good. I need that fanfare. That shit will add some more fire to my list.

@BigRedDonDaddy Sorry about that but we don't have sheet music for our fanfares.

That second dude was catching em

FIRE..!!!

Yeah, this was our first time playing with a group this size. Lessons learned.

Obviously VSU HORSEPOWER is whoring all other Sousas and Tubas out there. Nobody is seeing them PERIOD POINT BLANK END ALL! They are ready to go to war anytime anyplace. HORSEPOWER's Technique, Volume, and over Artistry is the best out there and the best there will be for a loooonnnnggg time. More Power to yall! Keep it up!

U all should consider performing for the ITEA next year....

!!!!!!dis shit still raw!!!!

bruh that was sick at 1:01

i was there vsu was fire!!!

they the the best its as simple as that

I play sousa at Vanderbilt, here in Tennessee. I can only dream of playing stuff like this!

dem Va boyz goin ham! dis make me wanna move bakk home to va!

@TheTaetae155 Yeah, Mr. Bowles who works with Horsepower is the brother of former band director Ms. Bowles who was at J.O. Johnson for a short time. He went out there to work their camp a few times. I am sure they still follow us on KZfaq.

Hmmm....and the fanfare is called tax return, sounds familiar. Good Job.

powerful

Hey! I live in Sweden and I really love these Tuba sections you apparently have over there on games and such (?). I was wondering if there is any CD or something one can buy or download with these?? Compilations or something?

LMAO 53:sec they wasn't ready lmao

That was sexy as hell, and that's coming from a white kid from Michigan =P I LOVED that sexy "bring it back" part at 1:26 where you can hear the full chords. Awesome.

man that bottom hot man

Terrance and Dvar got that lean lol

You will have to figure it out by ear. We don't have sheet music for our fanfares. Everything is memorized and taught.

fucken love this...wish i still played sousa so i could go to VSU

I would hate to be on the opposite side of a fanfare like this..glad we know how to play it

@Gentleman1911 which helleburg do u use i want to get one since i cant get a loud mouthpeice

itz amazin how they play this stuff it iz rediculous honestly i feel like i could go to vsu they section iz a beast

they murderin the soloists couldnt hear what they was playin but everythin else was on point

Imma keep it 100... i love VSU fanfares and their tubas... they can blow... i wonder what the sheet music look like with the creative fanfares they have.

There is no sheet music for our fanfares. Sorry.

1 person got their speakers blown out at 1:02

Dis shit go hard as hell. dat boi jst shitin

that pedal at 1:40 damn!

wtf truly at the top

@LHSBassDrummer Who is your new band director??? Mr. Carden? Whitehead? Lee? Haskins?

@futureSU132tubastar doesn't the pedal range start with a low e? you can play an f with a 3 valve so i don't think it counts.

i've never heard southern play lows but still work on them. you shouldnt have problem then since you have experience on fiberglass . i just cant make that change

these guys make me wanna play tuba 4 dem instead of SU and i kno yall teach by hand but damn that must be difficult i want dis shit its sick

@LHSBassDrummer Oh, OK. Yes Mr. Mike Kernodle. He is a good guy, very good mellophone player. You all are fortunate to get him.

Nice remix

@ccharlie05 i think its cuz its alumni wit them, if im correct it said reunion tour

conn 20k. best horn out there

a gentleman wat brand of tubas does vsu use jupitars cause thats wat we use

vsu does wat they want right now lol. unstoppable

@damoe100 What year are you in school. Make sure you get with me your senior year during the Fall to get your information into the school after your SAT's. Make sure you bring your horn and come to Explosion Day on April 24th so you can audition as well.

💯

Are you any relation to Kennth Knuckles or Archie Knuckles of NSU?

correct sir

@Kiddkastro221 How old are you? Did you apply to Virginia State? Scholarships are available especially if your grades are right.

do you guys have any sheet music for this?

Which SU are you playing for...Southern Univ or Shaw Univ.?

Sorry, we do not write out our fanfares. There is no written music.

i agree

@kingdebo1017 Mostly Loud's and Helleburg's

Any one have the sheet music?

i plan on attending southern university but i might go to jackson state r vsu

is that legal?

Y'all should battle Famu

i play tuba for phs in va and i know im goin to state for sure

they do have 20 people who play but they also play other instruments to help the band out and even if the rest of there tubas came they would have gotting blown out

What Brand Mouthpiece These Guys Use !

Fuckin Right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

who writes the fanfares, im assuming its the guy who conducts them, but anybody got a name?

i like the way they take pv shit and twist dat shit

@jck1794 LOL, no the Mothership. :-)

The thing I like about hp is I never hear them doing a song I already know or have heard before. They mix good sound in, but still know to blast. Considering I'm forbidden in my school's band to blast (D1 and all that jazz), I think it sounds much better when softer, and they are one of the few lines who are in the proper balance. Sigh, there's no time for sousa fanfares when you have to march 4 shows a season.

if you still haven't found one, you should look into FAMU, they have a great marching band as well

*jaw drop*

nice double tongue

@gentleman yea i remember that they had told me about that and he tought us how to play horsepower

i want this fanfare anyway i can get this

@LHSBassDrummer , NO, that is OK. I already spoke to him on facebook about it. Thanks

@yummypiezzzzzz Recruitment and reputation.

yo dats a good idea playin for tha int. tuba n euphonium assoc.(ITEA)
