Why can't ya'll say "congrats" or positive words and let it go??? Everything doesn't have to turn into a debate or "this is what MY BAND has done, and we're better than you." Dayum!

At some point, we should be glad that OUR schools are getting positive national coverage.

Congrats, Gram!!! :clap:

When someone says Southern's band or music department is not legendary, I believe I have the right to correct them.

Exactly. SMH at some of the comments back and forth.

Congrats Gram.

Now everyone needs to move on. We need all the positive press we can get at our HBCUs. If that GMA spot gets one kid to attend Gram....it is nothing but a positive. All the band hate of each schools has gotten out of control. I know we all joke and smack at times. But shouldn't be the thread to do so.

Also some of the snide comments of about programs not being what we thought they are was not appropriate either. There are programs in the SWAC who have had their share of acclaim that we all can be proud of. The GMA spot shouldn't have turned into a competition of who's band has done what. It was a win win for all HBCU bands for Gram to be on there and recognized. We are our own worse enemy.:shame:

Carry on.

Really!!!! Erykah Badu is more of an entertainer than a musician. Saxophonist Bradford Marcelius and violenist Michael Ward are musicians. Comparing them to Erykah Badu is like comparing symphony music to gangsta rap. There's no comparison. If Erykah Badu is the only thing Grambling has to offer musically, then I can understand why I hear and see of the things from Grambling's band.

Mystical and Jubilee...are both from Gram too.. :lol:

oh yea... congrats...


And why do folk play both side of the fence on here? You gone moderate and ask "why you just cant give congrats..this and that".. do it in ALL cases... ie.. the thread that was created for SU by a non SU member...

I gave congrats...

But of "this" subject/thread.. some of you in here are very much full of shyt...

I think one of your own says he feels that SU doesn't have a legendary program, he calls himself musturdman or whatever, read before you leap.

I can chime in whenever and however I want. I'm not on every single thread every single day, so it's quite easy for me to miss stuff. That's why there are more than one mod. :idea: And I ain't trying to please you as a mod. However way you think of me as a mod, it sincerely and wholeheartedly makes me no nevermind. :kiss:

You could have fooled me, because the your comment or stated ended with a question mark or maybe it was your bad punctuation. This symbol "?" means a question was asked.

Southern's band and music department, especially the Jazz Program have produced more college band directors and big named professional musicians then any HBCU. Name me one big named professional musician that marched in Grambing's band?

SU isn't the only program who has created successful musicians, when you get out of la la land you will realize that, we have a lot to be proud for, just because it's in a rocky situation now doesn't stop the love for the program and no matter how it hates me to see my program go through problems i won't allow any outsiders to degrade it. Something will shake sooner or later, more sooner than later hopefully.

But this definitely look like a question to me. I enlarged it so you can see that it was a question you asked in a previous post.

I asked him and not you and it was asked to him because he seemed to feel SU was not but i felt it was. That's what i said I think "one of your own says he feels that SU doesn't have a legendary program". All of this nonsense for your lack of understanding and your friends' bitterness for Grambling. I guess your cognitive skills aren't that fast.

Thanks for providing me these individuals names, because it would have been nice if somebody could have mention their names on Good Morning America as once being a part of Grambling's band, instead of, "we dance from start to stop".
