More GSU Rock Band Videos!: http://youtu.be/MhGB6FBBW9g This is part of the first performance from GSU's marching band/rock band this year. This was more of a test video to see what the videos would look like, so unfortunately it's only camera quality audio, but over 250 people asked to see the video on facebook, so I posted it :D
In this video you will mostly only hear guitar, drums and bass due to the camera position. Because of that you don't get the full experience of the Marching Band's awesome show, but I hope to bring you some full videos soon :D
Our show is a "GEORGIA STATE Of Mind," and so we start of with "Georgia On My Mind" (you can't hear much of the melody because the band is playing it) and then move on to play James Brown's "Living In America" and then the Allman Brothers' "Ramblin' Man"
If you notice in the video, most of the time I'm staring intently at different places on the field. I'm following the drum major who has the metronome and is giving the tempo for the song. I'm back field on the 50 yard line, so it is my job to be the tempo for the band, and everyone listens back to me.
Our show will continue to get longer and add more material as the season goes on, so we'll have some new stuff to play in the near future as well :D I hope to bring you a couple more awesome live videos from GSU Marching Band this year!
