MAN.....Now I've won my fair share of battles and even some ITEC competitions, but these dudes are on a whole nother level. I mean that's pure power, those pedal Fs are just sick man....... Listening to ya'll makes me appreciate that rugged show style sound I used to hate because I come from the corp style background.....but damn my ears have never experienced that type of power and soloistic genius...... Keep doing work ya'll stay up
At this time I don't see it happening. The program is going through a few changes and we do not play anyone in Tennessee so I don't see a trip out there coming up anytime soon.
Those pedal tones are ridiculously loud, this coming from a bass trombone player. Absolutely awesome! Also props to those triplet runs during the solo, gave me tingles. Keep up the awesome work guys!

Terrance if they are serious, have them contact Taylor Whitehead at mrknowitall91 at AOL. They need to let him know ASAP and you also need to hit up Clyde.
Still the greatest tuba fanfare I have ever heard. Horsepower will always be legendary.
as a tuba player i have to say that horsepower are the kings and queens of the bass
