The Alabama State guide to being "loud"

I've heard of many techniques to increase your sound but apparently them "Bama Boyz" and their Alcorn sidekicks have invented a sure fire way to be "loud". STEP 1: Sway (rock side to side to move the sound from your lungs to your horn). STEP 2: The Backbend, put your horn straight up in the air at a 90 degree angle or further if possible. Remember, the further back u cock the horn, the "louder" the sound will be when u "throw" it out the horn. STEP 3. The Tiptoe ( Contrary to popular belief, the sound doesn't come from the diaphragm, it really comes from the toes.... See, what happens is that all the sound is stuck in the toes so in order to release it, one must jump on their toes like Michael Jackson to get the sound that is trapped in the toenails. STEP 4. The Eyebrow ( Ever had trouble finding that high pitch... not anymore you don't. Bama State has had this figured out all along. The secret is to raise the eyebrows while looking up for the note in the sky.... the higher they are raised the higher the note will be..) Thats it folks.. All plain and simple. SWAY, BACKBEND, TIPTOE AND EYEBROW... Now i understand why The Mighty Marching Hornets of Alabama State continue to strike fear in the hearts of Jackson State and Southern EVERY year....

  • I think u on to somethin here man. I always wondered what it was they did to be so great. lol I think you missed some steps though. STEP 5. Be creative. ( Even though there are notes on the page, there are invisible notes that can be played too. To find them, go back to step 4 and they will fall out the sky into the horn and across the field. STEP 6. Rests. ( I bet ya'll thought rests were when the band stopped playin huh? NOT!!! Its actually the chance to play a one note solo while the band listens to how "loud" you are. STEP 7. PLAY WIT SOME NUTS!!! If your band doesn't seem to get that then have your Drum Majors wear spandex as an example, They wont know what nuts are unless they see them.... http://www.mediatakeout.com/2008/26517-oh_no_he_didnt_now_you_know_...
