THEE SWACs Neighborhood Prophet
2018 Southern University (280 members total) - Distorted Sound, Sound like any other band in the swac, tempo issues, arrangements have lost that "it" factor...
2017 Alcorn (260 total members) - Sloppy execution, horrible phrasing, no trumpets, just loud
2015 JSU ( 310 total members) - Tempo issues, boring field shows, non existent trumpets, not our best arrangements that year, and bad trumpet hangovers..
2012 ASU ( 300 plus members) - Sloppy tubas, depended on being loud and that's it, halftimes were a nightmare compared to recent years.
PVs been the only band to get the big band thing down over the last few years since they've surpassed 250 plus members this year and last compared to others. It seems like in the examples I highlighted, these groups took a step back when the numbers gave us this hype and expectation because of the year prior or what they do with smaller numbers and then sadly the disappointment with the numbers comes when our bands aren't what we thought they would pan out to be. The southern comments are all from what my ears actually heard live last night, just an FYI before any juke says I'm smacking the human jukebox. Seriously though, Why cant we get this right?
