![🎧 5th Quarter - Grambling vs Texas Southern 2023 [4K ULTRA HD]](/img/1.gif)
We came from out of state to this show.This band was Simply Amazing. My 9th grade Marching Band Daughter was in Heaven! I am going to Donate to the Band. We need to support these dedicated young ppl!
More and more I see Simmons putting the old Ocean things back...quads out of the drill, faster tempo for drilling, hit 40yds first, Ocean beat from the right side coming out of the hole, interacting with the crowd during the drill and dance routine, symmetry with percussion. He's also really cleaned up alot of things, wonderful. Just wonderful. And that sound. Wonderful! They sound like a giant jazz-funk-soul big band. I KNOW Prof Butler is so proud! Ocean alum 01-03, section leader. Law school grad. Lemme gone n give some money...
Facts!! Gone give that money fam! We all doing it! 03-06
Simmons is the product from the best..
Yea bro they brought back that uptempo drilling we had going on in them early 2000s
S/O to ALL the SU people coming to comment on TSU... Gotta love it. 🙃🥴Lol. FYI. We aren't watching you, SU. 🤷🏾♂️
The crazy thing is, they’ve been drilling like this all season. This is why they will be one of the top bands in the nation, not just in HBCUs.
Simmons really studied txsu to rebuild without taking away from traditions !! He’s a goat and this coming from a jstate person.
Awesome show coming from Spartan Legion alum 135 people that's pumps Swac don't sleep on this band. They going to recruit. Exit was Lit
Bro, I was thinking the same thing. I was afraid he would bring too much SU to TSU. He went into the archives and revived the old time TSU religion. Kudos to B. Simmons and The Ocean of Soul.
Yes he did.
ok
@@erosefilms ....from what year , "director" ?
I crabbed 06 and I'll never take anything away from Gip and what he did for the ocean....but these new niggas on a whole other level. I knew there had to be a better way to pull off drills man lol. we used to spend so much time out there for some OK field shows. I love everything about this new era, especially the part of keeping it OCEAN. TRUMPET CONNECTION 1983 FALL 2006🎺🌊
Tconn for life!
It's actually a lot closer to the 70' - 80's Ocean. This is how we did it. I'm glad he studied it and added his own touch as well.
The Difference is Clear 🔥🔥🔥
Cudos to not only Simmons and Staff/Admin but proud of the students that make up this band and their dedication to rebuilding this program! There has been drastic, consistent improvement the past 2-3 years and that says a lot. Great job Ocean! 🌊🌊🌊
This might be the best drill I’ve ever seen and honestly I don’t think it’s even close 🤯🔥🔥🔥
By far the best show from what I've seen. I can't say I'm surprised. This was high energy, precision packed, and crisp sounding field show. TXSU actually kept you engaged and this one of few swac bands where the field show is an afterthought. I'm glad to see Mr. Simmons has kept TXSU close to it's tradition while incorporating some new ways of doing things. This is still recognizable as the Ocean of Soul. Those euphos still making some big time noise.
So you’re saying the host band was trash? We agree. I was there and they came off as usual a step below high school.
Mannnnnn!!!Wished I could’ve been there to witness this in person. The best performance I’ve ever seen. Proud DAD @ Carnell Butler III
THEY WERE AMAZING! THEY were the best on the field and the stands in my opinion. I'm glad I was able to witness this in person.
😮 Was my face the entire time! This was ten leagues beyond phenomenal! The nostalgic feeling I get when I first saw an HBCU band is the feeling I get when watching TXSU!!! Y’all are breathing life back into the HBCU band world. I’m booking my plane tickets for TXSU VS JSU RIGHT NOW!!! 😅😅😅That matchup in Veterans Memorial is going to be BOOMBOX LEVEL!!!
I was just telling myself the same thing. This brought back a lot of nostalgia to when I would watch hbcu band clips in middle/high school 😂🔥
The game to go to is the southern and Texas Southern game. The reason being , it will be back in Baton Rouge and Houston home games instead of Dallas. This upcoming fall the game would be in Baton Rouge. The game was crazy Last fall in Dallas 0 quarter was lit. Halftime was crazy and the ocean and the jukebox went over 15 rounds in the fifth. This will be the rivalry game and possibly better than the boombox classic.
@@georgefoley2128 yeah that will be a good game too… However I don’t like the band placement at southern… When bands are a Veterans memorial stadium face to face the energy is more intense and aggressive versus at Mumford battling at an angle
Man at the 14:02 mark them mellos and Trumpets left earth. Got damn, Sh*t was crucial!!!!
I’m not even done watching the video and I have already gone through so many different emotions of awe and excitement! Simmons/staff/students have literally restored excitement back into drilling, precision, and trying different daring things all while maintaining the TXSU swag that makes them so unique! Love this band Simmons/staff are literally some young hungry entertainment geniuses!!!!
What an INCREDIBLE performance TSU Ocean Of Soul 🌊. TSU definitely had the best band there, from all the bands that I've seen so far. I still have to watch Alabama State and Langston though. TSU sound, as well as both precision drills were well on point. TSU has made a complete turn around. The flags were awesome as well. Motion field show was truly OUTSTANDING! Motion and SU Dolls are the TOP 2 teams when it comes to the field from what I've seen. Well done Mr. Simmons, Danielle Stamper and Staff! ♥♥♥♥
I have to give credit where it is due… TxSU is the best drilling band for the 2022 and looking very bright for the 2023 season… KEEP IT UP OCEAN💯
RUclips👉CCB TV😁🤷🏾♂️🍿🍿🍿
6:55 going right into _Surrender - Lalah Hathaway_ from the *Hidden Figures* Soundtrack was a mind blowing surprise! The fact that this song was only played at the very end of that historical movie, but yet was thought of in the consciousness of the Director or Arranger to be played on this field, shows the Director and arranger know their soundtrack history. 💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥
Gives you that Temptations rock.... Marvin Gaye...Motown memories all in one.
I don't know WHAT has gotten into the Ocean but this was absolutely phenomenal!! Kudos to Dr. Simmons, his staff and the students. This was an INCREDIBLE performance! ~ Ocean/Funk Train '92
A different kind of professor is what's gotten into them. Hasn't been that way for a good long time.
SU is wats gotten into them….lol
@bigox100 su doesn't do Ocean beat and never has, doesnt have a parade rest, doesn't have face commands, doesnt have a call to attention, doesn't arrange the same way, doesn't have flags, doesn't have the same percussion style cadences, doesn't come in from the right endzone, doesn't do TAMU styled maneuvers, doesn't have euphoniums sometimes playing 3 part chords, doesn't arrange for trumpet dominance like a big band jazz band, doesn't march all silver horns and the list goes on
@@sordidC nah Doc, Im not talking bout no DAMN flags man, I’m talking abt the sound, C’mon MAN!!!!!!
@@bigox100 they sound NOTHING like su. You're just out here throwing insults. They do not have the same approach to execution or arranging. Stop the cooning.
Great Job Ocean. Incredible job Brian Simmons and all Staff/Admin for the excellence you guys are putting forth. I love it. Thanks for the tribute to my best friend (RIckey Smiley) son's memory. Total class!!!
Don't mess with Texas! Those screaming first trumpets. Wow. Thanks for sharing your talents.
Trumpets!!!!! 2:53 and 10:37 shyyyt! !and yall opened that right on up at 3:01
1:38 sheesh ... this a new Wave or that Oldschool one... cause... damn! And nice intro! Beautiful 🙏
The PJ Morton song was🔥🔥🔥🔥
And Nobody ain't talking about these MELLOS !!! Prolly the best 👌🏾 I ever heard 🔥
I said on crucial conflict they were the best mello section in the SWAC back in September. They then went on to win best mello section in the band head awards show a month or so ago.
@@JesseVealIII I remember you on that show, great observation. Everybody on they Trumpets in which they lost that category. to Southern so it's weird . .😵💫
@@AFLive I thought Txsu was a better section when they faced off but SU trumpets sounded a lot better in games after and during Mardi Gras. I can’t be mad at SU winning but these two are definitely top two in the Swac.
I absolutely love MyASU and the MMH; however, I give credit where credit is due!! Texas Southern came with all the sound and musicality!!!
Great job!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Special shout out to the Ocean Waves on Say So. yall y'all killed it mane!
Simmons and Stamper deadly duo 🙌🏾💯🔥🔥

Texas Southern has evolved! Awesome! Awesome! AWESOME⭐
Wonderful job Ocean 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

UPDATEI would have shifted the drill to be centered on the 50. They definitely need to explore this concept in future drills.

The Quints have their place Frat .

Good job Ocean
If they ever get more band members to join the program, they gone enter the top 3 for sure joining SU and JSU
They there already with these numbers
@@mocitydon9325 tell ‘em!
Who is your top 3 because they are already top 3 in the SWAC
@@georgefoley2128 more like top 2 really
They DID have more members. A lot of them didn't have housing, so hopefully this coming fall they'll have that housing situation resolved...!!!!
What is the name of the last song they played at 13:27?
They killed that.
They drillin!
🌊🌊🌊
I feel like this was the best show
Very nice sound and drill TXSO
Nice show But get Brian Simmons of the Mic Please.
😆
Great job TSU. Even though they not the biggest Simmons has brought the student work ethic and musicianship. Similarities like Jukebox which os my favorite band but TSU is definitely my next favorite.
Great job Ocean!
Ouuu they ate this up!!!!!
🔥🔥🔥
What’s the name of that last song they played?
I like the drill!
🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
Song at 9:43?
Anybody know the name of that last song?
Real solid
Hard to believe this band(The Ocean of Soul) and the Mighty Marching Hornets are the only 2 bands in the SWAC that march System Blue instruments.
Thing is, B.A.C Music don't even distribute System Blue Instruments anymore.
su euphoniums are system blue gold lacquer. Are MMH trombones same? We (Ocean) long ago played on the jazz King 3b. I preferred that over Bach and Yamaha.
Thing is the System Blue Euphoniums SU currently has, were made during Conn-Selmer's 1st partnership with the Concord Blue Devils DCI Band
@dre9926 figures because tone-wise they're very edge-y when the way THEY play on them. That lacquer changes resistance. On trombone I bought a benge 165F in 2002. It has a copper bell a d the lacquer is thicker. Made me so loud it was ridiculous but like a King....in the studio that horn SANG.
5:25
They remind me so much of Southern U...
bitch why! tf
Naaaah we are the ocean 🌊
Nah chief not even close. One has a darker sound the other lighter sound. Arrangements totally different.
Negative
Southern doesn't do Ocean beat or come in from the right or have flags or enter with Motion on the field or have a call to attention...the list goes on...
It's giving Doc Greggs, Mr. Jackson era Southern university....when Southern was the undisputed king of the field. I see u Brian...you're rubbing it in their face....love SU, but I gotta give props, SU doesn't wanna see yall on the field...yall are what they used to be.... a drilling machine.
Don’t bring that SU stuff on here.
And the fact that he’s low key being mentored off the books by Haymer, as if we don’t know..
SU is still the undisputed king 🤴 on the field in the SWAC! TXSU is a replica of what the JUKES are!
Yep. All Doc
As a juke I can honestly say Taylor and his staff has ran the “S” into the ground. TXSU will takeover this fall.
