In case people dont realise, tubas sound a lot clearer when you hear them in person, recordings generally dont pick up the low bassy sound of the tuba or sousaphone very well, and the reason they sound so gritty and kind of "kazoo"ey is because of that, that's not to take away though that sousaphones generally sound worse than concert tubas
sousaphones are also generally designed to be louder and give a powerful brassy feel whereas concert tubas give the low bassy mellow sound, they dont necessarily sound worse, just different from concert tubas.
Sousaphones sound more piercing because the bell of the instrument faces forward, unlike the tuba and other members of the tuba family such as the euphonium, which the bell faces upward. With the sousaphone, the sound is going in a different direction than that of the tuba.
gumball nightmare well right now we are doing valiance, rockin rondeu and my favorite cocles and mussels because it a tuba,bassoon,bari sax and bass clarinet
you really need good speakers or headphones to capture the awesomeness of the tuba. I just got a new pair of headphones today and it makes this song rock!! Not like doesn't already!
Well basic counting says that there are only nineteen tubas. So that's a damn sexy $143,000 but there is tax. Which in Auburn in 9% So that's a damn sexy, $155,780!
There was me and 2 guys in my band that played sousaphone and I miss it so much I’m about to graduate and I don’t know what I’m going to do without marching and playing sousaphone
Haha sike, try 6-12 hours a day for 60-80 days with half that section size and sound worlds better. The sousa section couldnt even get in time with each other.
The low brass at my school would play this all of the time during the assemblies and halftime shows. And man that was fun. We took a trip to New Orleans this year and we played it there too.The crowd was getting really into it and danced along with us.
I've only played sousaphone once, and that was for a marching festival in 7th grade, with that many tubas, it would've been really cool to see this in person because sousaphones are loud by themselves.
In 2010, the LSU drumline and tuba section turned this into a pregame hype during the drumline warmup. Fast forward to 2023, and this is now a brass/drum stadium hype played throughout LSU games. This lil warmup shifted/added to our LSU Drumline culture for a decade+ so far.
I marched in the Auburn Band 1978-83 and the drum line(US) and the tuba section always had a rivalry going into the stadium. We stood down on the sidelines and played as the band marched into the stands. Well, the tuba section also stood on the sideline and made up dance moves (if you want to call them that) to our music. The crowd loved the drum line and tolerated the tuba section. Ha! Anyway, War Eagle guys.Glad to see the tradition continue. Hopefully the 2013 season will be a good one!
Nicoboi2 Dark Astro I come from from a HS band that plays this song along with a DL cadence and we just found out about that La calavera a few months ago and it’s crazy lol
The sousa's use a larger mouth piece, therefore more sound travels through the larger pipes. It also helps that these guys know their stuff. This comes from a guy at the top of his tuba section, and science class.
Contras are much more similar in design to a concert tuba. They're designed to get a traditional concert tuba sound. Whereas the Sousaphone is a a toilet bowl.
My band does also (im one) and we play sonic boom and we are gonna play this one. It is totally possible to play these songs in a small band with some loud Sousas
Yeah that's a good sized band. You guys should do some sousa songs. They are super fun and you could even get the music for the whole band if you wanted
lol sadly our band director refuses to do pep band in class. He spends class time on Marching band until the season ends and then we play concert music to practice for concert festival.
Oh my band has two different classes, one for advanced players and the other for less advanced players. I'm in the advanced class and we work on solely concert music now while the other class works on marching
@@hokagecutt72 you also gotta think, this was posted in 2008. Sound quality of video cameras/phones back then were pretty garbage. Plus, tubas don't sound fantastic on recordings even now. So it might've sounded fantastic in person
KAME HAMEHA I agree with that guy, contras/marching tubas sound a lot better and can get a clearer tone than a sousa if you haven't heard any DCI corps use them, you're missing out
Owen Shapley But still, its not that bad. Its probably only the quality of the video. I heard my high school's marching band play sousaphones, and they had a really good tone quality. Brass instruments usually sound a little weird in videos, unless u use pro equipments.
@TeamSolidStarCraft There is a marching baritone as well. Drum Corps used both. A marching baritone is smaller than the marching euphonium. But typically in high schools they are using euphonium.
I wish my Tuba section was have as big because with only 2 tubas in the band that made us look smaller than what we realy here, but we held it down though
Possibly, as I don't personally own a tuba. However, Tubas that nice are most definitely not cheap. I was simply alluding to the fact that 18 top-of-the-line, well-maintained tubas would cost quite a sum of money. Also, the fact that 18 top-of-the-line, well-maintained tubas gathered in one place is most certainly an impressive sight.
@TrueTrombone352 Actually, yes. The Baritone has a bell that points outward, has valves on the front, facing outward like the bell, and usually has three valves. The Euphonium, however, has a bell that is simular to a tuba's, pointing straight up, like a raincatcher, as well as it usually has four or five valves. The Euphonium is almost literally a small tuba.

I honestly have an opinion that the recordings are pretty cool and the gritty sound kinda just makes it somewhat enjoyable...
Being in a brass band I can confirm this is true

HI5 Qiwi A sousaphone is a tuba😂
ColoR WaY it’s just really not a tuba though is it
Oli McGinnes nah nah nah a sousaphone is more of a tuba than a tuba watchu mean😂 sousaphones suck tho contras all the way (which are also tubas)
ColoR WaY call them by there respected names your making me recoil in my own skin
I wish I was there to feel it
Oh you would feel it alright
Feel what? I guess 🤷🏽♂️
I feel it alright, just Bluetooth it to you surround sound lol.
Feel wat??

Casual Reviewer why and how
\_(>_
To all the people saying it sucks, i agree it needs one more thing. MORE TUBAS
Nicholas Mccarthy yes definitely
Nicholas Mccarthy TWO HUNDRED PERCENT YES!
+Nicholas Mccarthy yeeeeeeeeeeeah
+Nicholas Mccarthy *sousaphones
Ultraviolet Creations sorry mom
As a Euphonium player myself (I wish people knew what that is...) I'm a big fan of tubas.
Play that in 6th grade and then switched to percussion
The baritone is great
I play the euphonium and found out that no one really cares about it (I do though, there is never any fun songs for the euphonium tho :(
@@amanthatisnowhere bruh the baritone is a completely different instrument 🤦.
Please tell me the difference between the baritone and the euphonium
Everyone saying "I'm on my second year of playing and I can do this" Has obviously never played a sousaphone
I'm on my first year of sousaphone and CAN do this
Tommy Ellis
me to marching band
triston ferrell likewise. Only sousaphone in the band
+TheJimjimboy THANK YOU SIR!!!
i probs couldve on my first year on sousa easy
all the tuba players say yeah
Yeah
YEAH!
YEAH!
YEAH!!!
Yeh
I'm the only sousaphone in my band
I'm in a small ass band, so there is only like 20 people, and I feel like I'm the only alto saxophone most of the time.
I'm the only tuba player in my grade, but two gradesdown is four godam tubas! 😱
gumball nightmare There are 5 tuba players including me in are band

gumball nightmare well right now we are doing valiance, rockin rondeu and my favorite cocles and mussels because it a tuba,bassoon,bari sax and bass clarinet

Man these guys are tight. Respect for them and the hard work they must put in to achieve this sound.
Amen brother! I play sousa and own mine too!
Zach G no they sound like shit
Haha sike, try 6-12 hours a day for 60-80 days with half that section size and sound worlds better. The sousa section couldnt even get in time with each other.
That will be me some day I started bane thus year 2019 and I'm playing the tuba as well

Which high school did you go to? Was it in East Texas?
it sounds alot different when you are actually there..
this is coming from a sousaphonist,
NEVER HEARD IT AT THIS TEMPO BUT IT STILL SOUNDS NICE
I learned how to play this the other day on tuba i love it
Stephanie Parris YES

we did this with our band and the drum line the dry line had a part

No es otra versión, es la misma versión copia de esta de la película transformers
ecelente !
That is so awesome
Excellent !
It’s sounds like this Mexican song it’s called---- :la calavera Banda imperial de huajuepens
Nicoboi2 Dark Astro I come from from a HS band that plays this song along with a DL cadence and we just found out about that La calavera a few months ago and it’s crazy lol
Its based on a brothers johnson song
It is la calavera. My parents are from that town from Mexico where the band that plays it is from
why do sousas sound so much more dirty then a traditional contra?
Red Monster probably made from cheaper metals so it reverberates wierd
Red Monster it's a band from south Alabama lol we can't afford much

Simply...... EPIC
my band only has 3 sousas
My band does also (im one) and we play sonic boom and we are gonna play this one. It is totally possible to play these songs in a small band with some loud Sousas
well we have like 80 players so we're not really small. we're average

Wow. Acoustic Paradise
This is pretty great gotta say. I wish I had more sousas in my band. It would sure make my job easier seeing as it's me and one other
Sir Crystal they sound terrible tho
@@hokagecutt72 you also gotta think, this was posted in 2008. Sound quality of video cameras/phones back then were pretty garbage. Plus, tubas don't sound fantastic on recordings even now. So it might've sounded fantastic in person
My band has like 10 or 11 Sousa’s
This sounds really good.
Rich and punchy!
wow I am blown away
19 Sousas =D ftw!!
It sound pretty good if they added a full drumline in the middle there and maybe some trumpets or trombones, it would be a lot cooler too
ehhh percussion o.e
This is a tuba cadence lol
Douglas Mullen fanfare*
*cadence
Douglas Mullen Fanfare, drums play cadences dumbass
In Marching Band, a band size is measured not by how many people they have, but by how many Sousaphones they have, for they are more noticable.
AWESOME
they okay
Really
Someone isn't using good enough air... just playing loud. (Cough cough)
Perfect
splat splat splat splat!~
Yea all fan fares and pep tunes are played by splatting
Hater hater hater hater
Dont forget flam flam flam flam!~
My band has 5 Sousa’s and one of them is louder than all of these guys together
Love it!
this seriously made me think of how much of a better tuba player i could be, I love this lol
can we please all take a second to realize how awfully they all sped up during the half timed phrase of the piece
HBCU bands are only good at playing loud.
@@sceu25not really
@@THETOPMAN97 bro that was two years ago lol I’m cool with HBCU style now
The songs needs a snare and a some tenors.
And you need to turn that frown upside down

Contras sound better than sousas. Sorry guys.
TUBA FOR LIFE

Sounds like a big crap. Like when your farting
Fuck you
Fuck you
You never heard sousaphones before? But even so, your sense of taste in music is just as bad as the believers.

Brilliant!
Good:) I'm in middle school 2 nd year of me being a tuba player and man this is good
omg! my eyes are like O.O
this is great:D
I wish there was a clip of Morris Brown college tubas section playing this from 1990. They played the shit out of this.
damn that is the most tubas i have ever seen in one place. we only have like 4 tubas in our MB
@Kitts90 In my band we use the four-valved Euphonium, for marching, we use what is probably the Marching Euphonuim.
I JUST CRIED AND JIZZED AT THE SAME TIME!!!!
That was good.!
brilliant conducting as well!
they are really good^^
is a very cool!!
those 25+ dislikes are trumpets thinking "being on bottom is better"
brilliant work!
