I am retired band Director and I learned one thing. Never play a tune first if you know your opposition plays it better. To tell the truth I wouldn't play it at all. If they were marching out the stadium I would and only then.
you know, I said the exact same thing.. Asu just set themselves up I was thinking the same thing about Souuthern when they Played it 1st against Jackson, Until i heard their arrangement, and power. But i said if any band would play it better or uniquely equivalent to Jackson, Southern would be that band.
@ Frederick Crook you must not have been a good director to think that your opposition played better than your band. FACTS. WHO PLAYED IT BETTER IS A MATTER OF OPINION. But lack of confidence is not. 😐
Southerns Holy Grail sounds better and it was arranged to show the POWER of this band. Tubas arrangements are unique from ALL the others and that makes theirs better. Also that drum roll close to the end is a idle threat and warning to the other competitor band. It clearly means ," Get ready to be destroyed by the POWER you are about to hear and witness from Southerns band. It was clearly written for a power band like SU. No band can match Southern and the thing is even the other Band Directors know that to be true.
In a nutshell, It sounds like you just said other band directors are in agreeance that SU band is the best band and that other bands are no match for them and are scared of them.....did I get that right? BWAHAHAHAH!!! Dude, let me shed a lil knowledge to ya. There is not one band that I have ever seen not get their ass handed to them on occassion. Even the band I marched in (ASU) and your dearly beloved SU band is no exception. Go look up SU vs NCA&T 2004 battle in vegas and come back and talk to me lol. Don't care how good you think a band might be, in the swac, any day at any game, any band can get waxed, including SU. Seen it, done it. Also, that drum roll before the fanfare ending is the same way they come in on "Can You Feel It." That weapon has been played out years ago man.
IDK.... Southerns version kinda sucks until the last blow section, I like States build up like the arrangement actually goes somewhere, but definitely a good job to both bands, showing why bands are apart of the black college foootball experience
it all boils down to the arrangement.....i do like Bama State....i think the bone solo at the beginning was unique but str8....cant deny SU's power tho....
Arrangement n. 1. The act or process of arranging: 2. The condition, manner, or result of being arranged; disposal: 3. A collection of things that have been arranged. 4. A provision or plan made in preparation for an undertaking. 5. An agreement or settlement; a disposition 6. Music a. An adaptation of a composition for other instruments or voices or for another style of performance. b. A composition so arranged. c. Music is an express CHILL with all the bashing people, HBCU's stand up. MBB going in shout to the young bruhs...!!!
Man I was there too. and it wasn't close. Haymer out writes their whole staff. I listened to both bands and SU's sound was more like the song. I aint coming down on ASU but they can't touch southern in this particular song battle
Great job ASU!! We should never questioned anyone's interpretation and/or perception of what is good or bad. Ones perception is ones reality. I think both band did a great Job. That being said...Man, as a former member of the Human Jukebox (Fall'82-SPR'86) and a follower of them via TH-cam .... hats off to the arranger; this guy (I think his name is Haymer) is awesome, he seem to truly understands Jukebox core value "POWER". As for being loud, SU always have been and SU will probably always be loud, so all can either take it or leave it. We have always been the in-your-face type band and arrogant to a fault. Why? Because we truly believe we are the best.
This was a good battle...Power came from both bands in different ways. Southern started off loud and State built to that point.So in my opinion, I call this battle a tie.
Will someone tell where those other schools post their videos. I want to see if they waste their time with all this hate. Is this jealousy or are you being bias. All of our Bands are good now we don't have to hate on each other.
I have to give it to SU cause they have power and I could hear ALL of there parts...ASU had power to but their tubas were not full at all and the trumpets were trying to hard but they did good overall
I don't like bama state at all. And I personally don't like southern a tubas. But ASU's version of holy grail kills southerns. Y'all say southern destroyed them but southern just sounds like a bunch of noise at 1:58, you guys sound like you're trying overplay each other. You can barely hear anything distinct. Y'all sound powerful but there no balance. ASU sounds much more balanced and just as powerful.
ok everyone knows that SU plays hard and has a full sound, know on top of that SU arrangements are suit to them due to how they play, like i said there regular loud is a regular band full sound but SU has another lound on top of that witch come off to people that its not musical anymore but the way its written it comes off well because thats how they play......UAPB 1st t-bone 99-02
I agree with sum convo's but ASU has serious horn holders they shouldve handle business better in their new stadium an me personally i wouldve not played holy grail at SU smh dumb move an some of you werent the only ones who attended this game so refraim yuh BS
Horn Holders ? First Y'all Say ASU Is Just Loud . Then Y'all Say They Are To Big To Not Be Putting OutEnough Sound ? You People Are So Confused In What Y'all Want Say .
When Miles came up everybody wanted to hear SU vs Miles and SU destroyed them.Now you wanna hear Talladega and SU. No Comparison Bottom line, Strait up Wanna Be Period
For what? Talladega couldn't even handle Alcorn. Yeah Talladega's style is similar to SU considering that fact that their director is a oldhead Juke, but Dega can't bang with SU round for round. Dega is aggressive but they need more polishing first.
I was actually there, and there was no doubt that Southern took this.. Bama tried, and im not saying that they failed, but Southern was just... omg lol
Just take that fat L like a man Bama State. We know you guys were excited to see a band, especially the Jukebox, back in Montgomery. Don't try to hype this lopsided battle up lol
Man high school arrangements just aren't gonna cut it Alabama. And y'all need to do something about those horn holders lol. ASU got creased by Southern!
Nigga, why are you such a ASU hater!? lol Looking like a broke 2chainz before he got signed. Why exactly do you feel ASU have "horn holders"? ASU was smaller than SU but louder, especially on Holy Grail. You can hear every section in ASU's band. ASU's 13 tubas matched Southern's 18 and ASU got hornholders?? Lmao. You look dumb as hell.
Why is it whenever someone states a FACT they're called a hater? And from your response I can tell that you have low musical intelligence, and lack intelligence in general. And talking about my profile picture, really, yeah that's mature. I'm a high school English teacher, this is what a grown man with a REAL job looks like. Also, don't let the fact that you're a fan cause you to lie about to musical ability of ASU, Alabama has very basic arrangements. "They were louder" "You can hear every section". Learn the meaning of ONE SOUND ONE BAND, you could hear Southern's ENTIRE band loud and clear, with a way more sophisticated arrangement. We all know that the tubas were not the horn holders, but the number ratio means nothing, most musicians know that a brass tuba is naturally louder than a fiberglass/brass hybrid tuba. Also if you watch this video and others posted of this battle you can tell by the reaction of the crowd that Southern was better, heck just read the other comments posted.
Where exactly are the hornholders though (which section)?? You attempted to discredit my judgement because I stated that you can hear every section in ASU's band but you just said the same exact thing about SU. I was putting an emphasis on the fact that they're balanced, CLEAN, and still project their sound (loud). I'm actually a "fan" of both bands so what do I have to "lie" about? One band, one sound indeed! How can you boast about a "sophisticated arrangement" if it's executed poorly? I've heard Southern play way cleaner in the past than they did at that game. Unlike you sir, I was actually there. You weren't stating facts, you were simply hating. Let's just say SU wasn't flawless last saturday so hop off their nuts and go grade some papers.
From the beginning of the song the articulation of the notes were sub par, and for the band to be that size, they should have way more volume than that. You're so used to hearing basic music, that when you hear something of real quality you think it's trash. My people are ASU alumni, they're not a bad band, they need better arrangements, and maybe a different director. They're just not on the same level as SU. Here's a better example, NOTHING ASU played can compare to the first song Southern played in the 5th, the song "Beyond". Again it's not hate, it's truth. You're probably the type that thinks 2 Chainz can rap better than Lupe, step your taste up.
Lol. I refuse to even further acknowledge these comments. I was there. Neither ASU or SU was completely perfect but they both sounded good. End of the conversation.
I WAS THERE ON THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD!!! THESE CLIPS DO NO JUSTICE FORREAL!! ALABAMA WON THIS HANDS DOWN!!!!....YOU HAD TO BE THERE!! and THAT IS ALL IM SAYING!! phew!
This Goes to Southern without a doubt. Their Holy Grail is to Powerful,Intense and Dramatic straight through, with no breaks in between except the Break down which comes back in with pure intensity. whereas Alabama's was climbing up there, and going back down. you kept waiting for that Power pentacle but it never got there, the way J State's finished with it. sorry #1 Southern's, #2 J-State.
The only band I know that come close to southern University playing Holy Grail is Jackson State sorry Bama fans, nobody in their right mind should challenge southern on Holy Grail.
+Jason Futrell I give it only bc they are bigger ,its more "noise" but if you were there tonight as I , I'm sure you heard the MC when he stated they were voted HBCU #1...correct?!?
i understand "I guess some like loud and others like quality sound. Crisp, Clean, Sharp" even though SU plays hard and loud they do come off Crisp, Clean, Sharp because of the arrangements, if other bands such as high schools that play SU arrangements sound good not because of the power it how its written......UAPB 1st t-bone 99-02
Is it me or can barely here what SU's trumpets are trying to play.. State took this battle with no arguments because all SU seem to have done was make a bunch of noise.. Atleast I could understand what State was really playing..
I was at this game and this was truly a battle. ASU playing this song was strategic and it got under the skin of SU. It was sort of how dare they. I have come to realize that this song comes down to a point of personal taste and I like both band versions of this song. However SU did not out blow ASU!! ASU was just as powerful if not more. SU just seems more powerful because of the drum line break where as ASU tubes continue to play throughout the song. In addition ASU only started playing this song at the Magic City Classic and the HBCU had already crowded SU their favorite when it comes to this song. ASU version was more energetic, entertaining, unique and dynamic. GREAT JOB ASU!!!!!
Yeah SU'S arrangement might sound more like the song but what good of an arranger if he or she cant arrange a song to sound a little different....Sometimes songs sound better when not arranged like the original piece. Again, they both sound good and bring something different to the table. Bashing another band is pointless.
If you truly feel Asu was better, you're either biased, or musically clueless. Asu has so many moments where it's out of tune, but still a good job. But DONT compare them to SU. Bruh SU is literally a machine! There is not one band that is better than them. Period.
Su to me is the best hbcu band soon to be one. Hopefully su sounded better all around but I do think asu had a better arrangements and I like that harmony they F-Horn have BTW I'm a trumpet player
Quiet youngsta...Only Bama A&M has a real reason to hate ASU. BamaSt did nothing good enough to quote-unquote "hate". Figure out a more educated word next time..you sound silly.
I love ASU forever and always but you can not dispute arrangements I think ASU had the sound to do it just not the arrangement. I give it to SU throughout the years I could always count on the arranger to keep it solid and bold and in your face with a lil bit more ASU love you to death but cmon man, show respect for arrangements Damn you SU !!!!!
I bet if Jay Z and Justin had to pick which band to preform holy grail with, it would be ASU because southern's arrangement aound nothing like the song... Sometimes less is more.... But it Southern, so I guess not.
SMH & LMAO @ ASU fans, because they really do believe the hype they say about themselves.. list I checked ASU and every band in the band on the SWAC and most in the contry aborting the style of The Human Jukebox.. do a history check on TH-cam and watch how their style changed and SU's style never changed, it just got better.. #the student will never be better then the teacher.. Smh poor little tink tinks..
I am retired band Director and I learned one thing. Never play a tune
first if you know your opposition plays it better. To tell the truth I wouldn't play it at all. If they were marching out the stadium I would

@@MMH0205 NC A&T did not wax Southern lets clear that up
@@MMH0205 not to mention A&T had alumni an all come back to face SU that year my brother was one of those lol now let A&T try SU now no match at all
Crazy how time flys . Baritone player directing for SU now .
Coming from someone who was at the game both bands sounded good but su blowing part Almost made a nigga cry
States Trombones... good God!!!!
IDK.... Southerns version kinda sucks until the last blow section, I like States build up like the arrangement actually goes somewhere, but definitely a good job to both bands, showing why bands are apart of the black college foootball experience
Southern killed that dry ass version asu has
They blew Alabama State into another universe.
ooowwww Them damn T-bones going in. Miss that sound. I might still have mine lol
it all boils down to the arrangement.....i do like Bama State....i think the bone solo at the beginning was unique but str8....cant deny SU's power tho....
ASU was cleaner but i like Southerns arrangement more and they blew it right out of the park.
Hold up im dying at the drum major at 1:13 lol

SU won that after that tuba break the trumpets came in with clean notes
Great job ASU!! We should never questioned anyone's interpretation and/or perception of what is good or bad. Ones perception is ones reality. I think both band did a great Job.

GOOSEBUMPS.......SNAP SNAP DRIVEEEEEEEEEEE
ASU killed. Clean and precise.
JUKE!!!!! I wish we had this arrangement when I marched....
ASU baby 👌
ASU was so clean SU just more powerful
If cameras add to SU's sound... wouldn't that be the same for all bands? Or does SU have some special setting on camcorders?
Duh its the Jukebox button. Galaxy phones dont have it yet sadly.
This was a good battle...Power came from both bands in different ways. Southern started off loud and State built to that point.So in my opinion, I call this battle a tie.
I feel you on that one. But I think the reason ASU built up is because of dynamics.
Yeah thats what we did. Im in the band. Lol and i love SU as well
Aha me to
Su is blowing on asu all day jukebox for life
Will someone tell where those other schools post their videos. I want to see if they waste their time with all this hate. Is this jealousy or are you being bias. All of our Bands are good now we don't have to hate on each
other.
what type of mouthpiece does asu tubas use?
Shit I love both bands but damn Asu y'all got smacked with straight fuckin fire lmao😂😂😂
#MyASU That groove is SICK! Loud can't cut that FuNK! #Winning!
I have to give it to SU cause they have power and I could hear ALL of there parts...ASU had power to but their tubas were not full at all and the trumpets were trying to hard but they did good overall
Hands down.. SU shout out to my cymbal was kill in SU wish they would have showed more

Wesley Netter But At The End Of The Day Your Opinion Is Your Opinion , Mine Is Mine...Good Day.
Listen to SU blast ASU w/ Dangerously In Love by Beyonce. You cant comeback from the dead after that massacre SU gave em.
Southern hands down!!! They have the fuller sounding arrangement. ASU bores me in the beginning
Where are SU's trumpets?
southern won this
SOUTHERN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The only people who think Talladega is rellavent is Talladega.
I wouldn't say rape but they did hold their ground against SU Talladega gone get in that ass next time they battle. That round was practice
InTACTProduction you're exactly right Southern need to up their game now
Luckily i was there to enjoy it
I was actually there, and there was no doubt that Southern took this.. Bama tried, and im not saying that they failed, but Southern was just... omg lol
Wow.. Bama State has a few horn holders. SU is the truth. Spade is a spade Su took this one.
Southern love them whole notes and half notes don't they
Just take that fat L like a man Bama State. We know you guys were excited to see a band, especially the Jukebox, back in Montgomery. Don't try to hype this lopsided battle up lol

Belinda Walker I agree
i understand "I guess some like loud and others like quality sound.

Su to me is the best hbcu band soon to be one. Hopefully su sounded better all around but I do think asu had a better arrangements and I like that harmony they F-Horn have BTW I'm a trumpet player
They never saw it coming
BamaSt did not reach the decibels SU did. Please stop that fallacy
Juke, you know only Bama State old heads and fans were the ones hopping around just like I do lol
People on SU's side were looking confused lol
You sound like a typical Bama state hater...Kudos to you Lol
Quiet youngsta...Only Bama A&M has a real reason to hate ASU. BamaSt did nothing good enough to quote-unquote "hate". Figure out a more educated word next time..you sound silly.
Duh...What Alumni isn't going to bounce around and root for their band..
Gotta say those Bones are pretty good....Close to SU 07 with 2 hearts....they made ASU this year
asu......... I love asu band they my life its louder n cleaner...
Seems like a tie to me
I love ASU forever and always but you can not dispute arrangements I think ASU had the sound to do it just not the arrangement. I give it to SU throughout the years I could always count on the arranger to keep it solid and bold and in your face with a lil bit more ASU love you to death but cmon man, show respect for arrangements Damn you SU !!!!!
That's kinda stupid... what's bad about the arrangement?
Not saying arrangement is bad but SU sound is continuous and long lasting
+B Jones That's because their version is arranged specifically for power...
Su won
su win.. hell yea. but im weak at that one trumpet. 😭😭 he looked like he was about to die
bama state murdered em.
ASU is my number one SWAC band but they crazy for trying to challenge SU at Holy grail
Su all the way!!!!!!!!!!
I bet if Jay Z and Justin had to pick which band to preform holy grail with, it would be ASU because southern's arrangement aound nothing like the song... Sometimes less is more.... But it Southern, so I guess not.
*sound
Bama trombones was on point. But SU band almost made me cry
they made me cry man
SU got that
Who taught these Drum Majors how to conduct? This is hideous. Head DM flapping around like Lil Mermaid. Enroll in Conducting 1101
STATE got smashed that is all
Hey ah, Georgia guy here....uh Southern won. Hail South.
SMH & LMAO @ ASU fans, because they really do believe the hype they say about themselves.. list I checked ASU and every band in the band on the SWAC and most in the contry aborting the style of The Human Jukebox.. do a history check on TH-cam and watch how their style changed and SU's style never changed, it just got better..
#the student will never be better then the teacher.. Smh poor little tink tinks..
LAWD SU......
SU all day
