Well, tell you what. Im a fair person. Give me an apporximate percentage of the crowd that you think are musicians.

Note: Just because you were able to sing the whole Top 10 in the car, on the way to the SUperdome, does not make you a musician.

It ain't about being arrogant....it's about calling a spade, a spade. And, being judged on the same stage, not just in the same arena.


PS- Allow me to show you my own version of the circle drill.......

Admit what? Then, when you answer that.....read my last reply again....and, ask yourself my question again......"Admit What?".

Take your time.....I got plenty of my own in my pocket.
 
I just want to say for the person who keeps calling Grambling Grumbling, that attends UAPB, number one from what i understand you have a Grambling Alumni on yall's band staff, and dont yall play the same arrangement of the Star Spangled Banner....and um dont yall do damn near everything we do so who trying to be like who....be your own band thank you and the name is Grambling so know your history before you try to bash somebody elses band....

To southern nice showing at the Bayou Classic, and I wish both bands at the SWAC championships the best of luck.

Dont hurt nobody now

It ain't nutt'n Skip. Im all for the words of wisdom from every direction.

It's just SU wants to be judged on the same platform as everyone else. Not judged to make it convienent for the other band, just because their playing the "U", by giving them pity points by way of crowd responce.....or, because they made a mad come-up from the year before.

If anyone wants to judge on crowd....fine. Do that...and, just that. But, don't judge the other band by crowd responce....and, then turn around and go down the list of "good" band requirements when you get to judging the "S".

I know people don't want to think so.....but, a (very) good number of "S" members judge on the things that are stressed at SU, because those things are what made SU the SU that everyone has grown to love/like/hate for decades. Every "S" member, past and present, doesn't have a set of permanant "S" (with the eighth note) blinders on to what a particular band is trying to do and accomplish (ex....I've been watching PV for years....and, that's how I judge them....by PV's standards.). We recognize when a band is on their isht...and, when they're not. We hold the same standards of (general) greatness for other bands, that fans/oppositions (and, ourselves) have been holding for SU for years. Not to badger...but, to hopefully get better.

It's a domino effect when playing the "U". Another band gets better....which makes Doc wanna stay/play more.....which makes for better comp/games.......which uplifts the whole conference to be the ultimate powerhouse that the SWAC has the potential to be.

We know you love your school. No one said that SU got blown out...or didn't sound good. GSU was simply better. Just take the "L"

DEVA JONES....

Are you speaking directly to me?

:p (laughin cause you can't even speak directly to LADYLUCK13)

....number one from what i understand you have a Grambling Alumni on yall's band staff, and dont yall play the same arrangement of the Star Spangled Banner....

B]and um dont yall do damn near everything we do so who trying to be like who

Who wants to play the exact same arrangement of the SSBanner as another school? Doesn't matter where the new band staff member is from, we've played that arrangement for years....That's a dumb statement....Now you're sounding even sillier....This is where you would need to go ahead and throw out some examples of how we try, or tried to be like GSU

Be your own band thank you and the name is Grambling so know your history before you try to bash somebody elses band....

Bashing??! I was just taking up for your school on one of the other pages about the Bayou Classic. The way you type sounds like you're a crab..... :rolleyes: People say worse things than just calling Grambling, Grumbling

i hear what you are saying but su is su and you cats have set the bar for yourselves also. that is the number 1 set back for great bands such as su, when you are always cold and bringing the heat, you have to do that and more every time...lets just say that grambling came up ,do we agree, yes. now let's just say su went down a little, who beat who? no grambling didn't win because they beat ya'll, they won because ya'll allowed them to catch up. in the same breath(golf terminology) if you have to give handicap points, don't allow handicap points to help the other person edge you out, and in this case that's what happened......

:lol: ....You speak as if Im threatened.

My comments have nothing to do with me loving my school. But, it does have everything to do with objective reasoning.

I can say SU was simply was better just like you can. Does that validate my word over yours, or visa versa? No! But, I've been able to back up my words...and, all Grum has been able to do is resort to "crowd response" (as usual) and say "Grum was simply better".

Now, can we get to something more concrete on why SU took an "L"? Or better yet.....why SU should "take" or admit to an "L"? I mean...Im waiting. Im not holding anyone's tongue. This is the band board....where band members discuss band related issues.

Even if SU took an "L"....your "just take the "L" doesn't mean jack. Especially, when Grum's been saying that for the last decade (and, we all know Grum ain't took no parts of a "W" in the BOTB's over that span). I've been to my fair share of BOTB's and Grum has gotten a decent amount of house. But, that ain't ever meant isht, considering the crowd peeps what what Grum is playing, and sings along, louder and better, than what Grum's horns (a band word) was puting out. Now, mind you...you got house (props to ya)....but, where's the band in the BOTBands? I mean.....this is the band board....where band members discuss "band" related issues.

Now, in the "real band" world....crowd accounts for little (a nice amount...but, in the grand scheme of things....very little). But, he!!, I can get a quartet of harmonica players to tootsie roll on the 50 and get house straight from laughter. Does that make them better than the next band, because they shook their arse and a few people laughed and applauded?

Tell you what.....you can humor me too, by telling me how Grum was "simply better" (I still haven't heard a good one). And, if you say by crowd....then, you definately need to go back and read this whole thread again.

If Grum is only content with the crowd...I ain't trip'n (if it does yall's lil hearts right to get a lil crowd against SUperior....good). But, that speaks volumes for the state Grum has been in for years when it comes to "marching bands".

This is the band board....not fan feedback. So, if this "W" is valid for Grum...please explain how....that's all Im asking. It shouldn't be a problem...right?
 
LOL...when has the Band Board ever been about objective reasoning???

LOL

Clay Aiken send help

SU sounded great without the mics and they were strong as hell, but they just wasn't doing it for me this year. I don't know what it is, but I guess yall just wasn't up for this past weekend. I can understand, because it was Grambling. But them cats wasn't playin' with yall this year.

Both bands were MIC'ed!

It's so funny how if you look at the posts, most of the people are saying that SU got the arse destoyed this year, and like I said, you are getting so excited trying to defend SU when it's clear what the critics are sayin... OBVIOUSLY, the true critics do NOT include BAND ALUMNI, nor BAND Members, you IGIT...:rolleyes: Those opinions would always be biased.

If you clearly read, the only opinion (which I'm still entitled to give) I stated was that some SU folks have a hard time admitting that the other team or band did well....Somebody from another school tell me I'm lyin :o

You lyin....:rolleyes:

SU got destroyed, I dare you to put your hand on a bible and say that......You said your self SU got GSU from what you saw on TV...And you have the nutts to say SU got destroyed....www.DUMMY.COM

Just because Grum Logic is not included in objective reasoning....doesn't mean it's never existed on the band board.

WFamed....Grum has always gotten the respect they deserve.



:lol:....I see no one has answered my question, yet. He!!, Im ready to ADMIT to an "L". But, I gotta get some concrete evidence on how SU earned an "L"...besides, "Grum was simply better".

Boys wanna play the game and make up the rules as they go along. DIVERSION at it's finest.
 
Blade, some of these folks are a trip.

Maybe they are talking along the lines of something we have no clue about... But as far as who band was better from a judgmental MUSICAL stand point ...SU was no question.

SU arrangements put them ahead of GSU with ease...Although GSU arrangement are getting better, there are still some bad arrangements that need MAJOR work......

And it's these GSU folk always hollaring about giving the crowd what they want...Honestly nothing got more house than "I am telling You".... And nothing from a band head stand point was better than ..."You don't KNow My Name"....

Well Gee, I wonder what band played those 2 cuts....:rolleyes:

Treici_III you are just hating. Everyone knows that GSU had that hands down. I still believe no matter how much you get booed or humiliated (not saying that you were), you should not leave early. That is definitely poor sportsmanship.

I'M NOT HATING I'M JUST STATING THE TRUTH. TRUE GSU HAS COME ALONG WAY FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN IN THE PAST, BUT WHEN A BAND HAS PROVEN IT'S POINT, SUCH AS WHAT SU DID AT THE BOTB WHY STAY. TRUE TO YOU THAT MAY BE CONSIDERED POOR SPROTSMANSHIP, BUT TO OTHERS IF YOU CAME AND DID WAHT YOU CAME TO DO WHY STAY.

:confused:

Listen SUTrp96:

Man I wasn't even there at the BAYOU Classic man...It's just that by reading this post, I would be able to come to a conclusion that GSU SIMPLY DID BETTER THAN SU this year...Now, everyone can be entitiled to their own opinion, but based on what I've read here, SU didn't make the cut....

The S _ _!est (and, ultimately the funniest) part of the whole thing....is Grum has done the same thing before, while SU was still playing (off the top of my head....I know they did it in '95).

Pot...kettle....Doc

:smh: @ Grum's attempts this year to get over on the "U" (*sigh*.....Ah'Gin). This is getting old...and, is way beyond pathetic.
