This guy makes a freaking powerhouse marching bands sound like an orchestra

You know, it's been 36yrs since I was in my college marching band. When I came across the "Jukebox " KZread videos just over a year ago, it re-ignited my love for the sounds of a marching band. I was hooked immediately to the "Human Jukebox" and have been a loyal fan ever since. The hard work that is put into teaching, and molding these young adults into the most amazing band that I have ever heard, is obvious. When I watched this video it immediately reminded me of my record collection and 8 track tapes of 36yrs ago. I personally want to thank you for bringing back those memories.

Mannn get outta my head!! Been over 20yrs for me

I am a NC A&T Aggie, but I have to keep it real. Oh my freaking God. That was a complete Eargasm from the start to finish. SU deserves all the accolades they can get for this masterpiece. SU has once again set the bar so high that everyone is looking up trying to get to that level. Anyone who has ever marched knows that to come with that kind of finished product at the first performance of the season is almost unheard of.

Brian Simmons🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Simmons is like that coach you’d run through a brick wall for!! Not only is his arrangements second to NONE, but his enthusiasm when he directs the band is simply motivating to watch. Oh how I miss marching & being in the SWAC!!! #AlreadyALegend

I'm a lifelong MMH fan. But Southern is without a doubt not only the best band in the SWAC, they're the best band in America. Absolutely amazing arrangement.

Put some glasses on him and you got ROY JOHNSON II !. DAHMMM . LOL

I mean how many times has this guy surpassed expectations with his writing talents year after year ??? He’s the new standard to be compared to when we hear a song from any college band from hear on out. The dude Bryan is a jewel he’s touched by an angel and he is blessing us with songs no one even thought of writing..BRYAN if u read this comment hats off my brother you’ve outdone urself again this year SU is lucky to have you as a director real talk

Mr. Simmons is the MAESTRO. I can tell by the way he directs that he's very enthusiastic about music and this arrangement is phenomenal. Human Jukebox played Barry White's Love Theme so beautiful! Go JAGS!

Hell I'm from home and played for Doc and my wife is from Brazil and I married her for many reasons. Barry was one and I played this first chorus she scream Barry. That by itself says volume of this arrangement.

Adding songs from Luther Vandross, and Barry White to their repertoire is a delight to my ears.

This performance just put SU BAND in a league of their own!!

Now THIS is how you play with power and control cause they definitely could’ve gotten louder and out of wack. But the arrangement clearly wasn’t meant for that. Good stuff Jukebox

Their sound is just unmatched man. It’s just not even close. No other hbcu is playing arrangements like this. Southern is just in a league of their own. And this is coming from
