Georgia Tech Has The Best Band

[Vespidae]

I hope BDS isn't this empty when we play it.

Ok so the song sounds MUCH better when a marching band plays it.

OK so this proves that you can play anything with a marching band and it sounds like anything with a marching band.

I get the rebellious nature of youth, but at least do it with some quality. sheesh this is garbage.

The 2 guys (band leaders?) in the middle rows with the white gloves were awesome.

Before you guys get too excited for it to sound like this, that band is a HBCU school. The style that they play the music is much different than we do at Tech. Still hyped for it on Saturday though.

You mean it might sound worse than that?

I was going to post the same cautionary message that Sarrick did. It won't sound worse, just less dramatic. Better/worse depends on what you prefer. Regardless, I know the band will bring the hype with this song. It's kind of set up to sound good with a marching band, and we've got a great band!

FWIW, it's an under the weather school with no football program, but hte best band is actually at my local school, George Mason. Electric guitars, vocoders, multiple drummers, and the band director is Doc Nix:

Take me back to 2009 when the team wanted and all we heard was Travis Porter's All the Way Turnt Up....

If you appreciate the band, I suggest going to the Bobby Dodd statue after a home game and letting the members know as they leave the stadium. After a long day of showing up early, a lot of running in uniform, and wearing out our chops playing for 5 hours, it’s always nice to hear that we made someone’s gameday experience better.

I just wish y'all would play more DURING the game, instead of that awful piped-in music.

When I started college, we used to play a lot more. Every year it feels like they pull more and more away from us. I’m an alumni now, but as I go to the games I feel like the case still holds true.

The piped in music is on the athletic department. We play whenever we get the signal from the drum major. Also as a band alum, the fans need to be louder on defense. When we couldn’t hear anyone else yelling, it tended to drain some of the energy and excitement.

I know the piped-in music is on the athletic department, and somebody needs to set them straight. I personally think the entire crowd responds more to good, energetic band music than any piped-in crap. That's what might get the fans louder on defense.

That is BA. Hell, Zack de la Rocha is a better rapper than whoever this shek Wes guy is.

I hope someone gets a video of Mo Bamba. The bass line has been with me all day. Would be good to see our band doing it.

This has absolutely nothing on Mo Bamba when it comes to hype factor

This has turned into such a big deal that I'm sure that it will be played at least twice
