At Southern most students play four and graduate and go on with there lives. I saw people in Talladega Band who played in Southern band seven or eight years ago. Those are grown men and women competing against kids.
Put it in simple language. You can try to hide weaknesses in music but those who know music will see. Talladega is no where close to the class of Southern. ( Musical Ability)
You right I seen a couple of SOUTHERN trumpet players on mello, but they trippin thinking poo ass talladega neck and neck with SU they better go look for Jsu and still get that ass bussed.
Man it went down in New Orleans today SU did what I thought they'll do blow TC out but TC was on SU hills.thay finally have a band with that New Orleans sound look at style that can give SU a run for thay money for a change. Keep doing your thing TC I hear u
Much love goes out to both programs but with our no doubt both bands were good but let's give total props to Dega for being a new band with total destruction every song was very strong
TC started there program a few years ago and battling a band that's been out for years and years now they did a great job, SU step your game up TC should not be no were close to y'all sound just saying.
Yesss!!!!!!!!!! When I say southern did that.. they did that.. and its evident that the other band trying to be like them... everybody know it... get your own style....this coming all the way from ARKANSAS...
Dega's btones are loud. But, who isn't, when you're between 15-20 and recruit heavy from N.O.? Ask BamaSt and JSt. The difference is...Dega's btones sound like 4 different loud btones. SU's sound like one massive btone. That there is the separation
Im in the biggest HBCU band out right now (BCU) . We don't have 28 btones. We had 23 this year . This is definitely probably 90% of their band. Probably more. These ppl ridin SU dick lol .
Its far from 90% and not half either more like 70% most of the trumpets look present but the tubas and btones were mission a lot of players can't see about the tbones to far in the back, woodwinds nobody cares it could of been one I wouldn't notice Lol
Yes Southern still handled business with just half their band there. Thats not an excuse. Its simply facts. TC has a good band they just started to play boring songs like Billy Ocean and George Michael after around 18 minutes. TC best song was the first one they played. It went downhill after that. SU made their point and left. TC band Director is a Southern man himself so naturally he felt the need to model TC band out of the #1 rated band, thats Southern.
You see those horns on the left side of the screen for TC? I know you see and hear them and you know what horns they are. Long story short, they were MERKIN!!!!
A lot of people pissed off because I think they never would have thought a band that been around for only 2 years could have stood a chance to su. When I was in high school I'll be honest I low key looked up to su but after playing against them I was like is this the su iv been looking up to??!? They wasn't as loud or clean as Talladega.
This was the perfect setting for TC to make a name of themselves. Kudos to them, but they are not on SU's level quality wise. Volume they have it, but they have some work to do. Any collegiate musician knows established programs aren't in marching band mode in the spring, but TC lives for parade season and BOTB's. I'd like to hear TC show some versatility.
Talladega loud and they sound good but the arrangements need to be upgraded... SU gets the W because they have the balance of it all in the clips... and don't sleep this is probably SU pep band.. yall know the band gets smaller in the spring but Talladega got something to prove... so they got all accounted with a lot of seasoned players... lets keep these things in mind
Southen finally have some real competition TC don't sound bad thay really sound good plus thay have that power that nobody seem to have but SU tell now this will be good battles for years to come watch out for TC don't sleep on them. I HEAR U TC
OK, I'm a S.U. Jukebox Alum, but Talladega is NO SLOUCH!!! Those kids are blowing!!! S.U. Brough the Pain! -Good Job To Both Bands!!!! Well executed battle. 40 yards away from each other? It gets no better. #oftenimitatedneverduplicated
SOUTHERNS tubas sounds really bad. I understand wanting to play loud, however when it becomes sloppy and you need to pull back. Talladega's program is only two years old.
over half of SU band isn't here lmaooo Talladega had their whole ensemble an couldn't handle this half of the Juke lol you do the math they don't want it with SU an if SU whole band was their this would've been ugly for talladega but im glad SU whole band didnt come just to show yall what SU can do without the other half lmaooo
It sounds like they study SU, so they can give them a run for their money. SU should be flattered that they want to be like them. Next time the battle will be with SU's full band.
I agree I think su had a better song selection and they won but give TC a year or two. And I hope these swac bands keep sleeping on these guys cuz they gonna embarrass somebody like they already have before but they are getting better by the performances...
Comin from a UNbiased person. SU was louder as usual....but they lose control sometimes with it. still sounded good. I liked TCs volume too but they seemed to have a tad bit more control when blowin'. Damn near carbon copy bands though.
Talladega is just a mixture of every SWAC band. They asses either got zipped, expelled or flunked out of school..... They jackson everybody sound. Gtf SU took this battle. #HumanJukebox 😎
Hbcu bands are diverse. You have your concert style sounding bands like Famu, Bethune, Grambling, and a few others. You have bands that focus on halftime shows. (although in the SWAC that's all but gone with the exception of Grambling and a couple of others). And then you have the power style bands that Southern has made very popular. This is a "bloody" battle between the jukebox, who've inherited the power style as their own, and an upstart TC band trying to upend SU at their own game. I'd say they're certainly doing a good job of imitating SU, but I've yet to see them differentiate themselves as an original style band. Until then they're just yet ANOTHER knockoff southern band SCARED to have their own identity. On another note.....BOTH bands are blowing and TC is holding their own. Lol... Imho
Is it me or do the guys and gals down south make playing look like it hurts? No disrespect but it looks like some of y'all gonna cause some major physical damage to yourselves out there. lol. That said I wish there was more stuff like this up here.
TC sounds good but nothing they played the whole battle was better than "Beyond". TC puts you in the mind of Bama State lots of volume with below par arrangements. TC only had 2 good arrangements the whole battle 1) Happy & 2) Thuggish Ruggish Bone...... If TC gets better arrangers then they'll definitely be a force to deal with
This was a great battle and SU waxed their ass.. And I noticed didn't bring their whole band.. If just this half waxed their ass just imagine if the whole band was there.. SMH... Talladega wouldn't even had a chance man especially on Holy Grail.
Talladega in round 1&2 were so powerful that it seems like they won....but if we grade this like a boxing match I think this battle is a tie...Round 3&4 southern sounded way better and round 5 no band had a clear edge
This was definitely The Best Battle to End the 2013 School year and bring in 2014
Talledega has my respect
They finally went against each other!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!
This battle is unreal...... wow!!!
TC keep doin yo thang!!!!! I love SU but TC has my interest
I never thought I would see the day S.U gets ripped a new one.......BIG ups to Mr. Bonds....you told me you would do it like dat to em 1 day!!
In person at this battle, T.C. Mellos were louder than the clips. So was SU Baritones. Both bands was beasting.
At Southern most students play four and graduate and go on with there lives. I saw people in Talladega Band who played in Southern band seven or eight years ago. Those are grown men and women competing against kids.
And still lost. Lol they not no kind of men or women!
Put it in simple language. You can try to hide weaknesses in music but those who know music will see. Talladega is no where close to the class of Southern. ( Musical Ability)
You right I seen a couple of SOUTHERN trumpet players on mello, but they trippin thinking poo ass talladega neck and neck with SU they better go look for Jsu and still get that ass bussed.
No way grown foLK😂
S/o to alcorn, valley, and su for giving TC the exposure...i think its real big of these school help another hbcu get its band program off the ground
Man 11:40 I ain't heard no mellos do that since da 4 in 01 on velvet rope
What is the song that Talladega played at 7:30?
Talladega went up against Alcorn "Sounds of Dynomite, and Southern " Human Juxebox. Next its Jackson State "Sonic Boom of the South". Cant wait.
Also went up against Mvsu
Anybody got the name of the song SU played at 9:26 ?
Man it went down in New Orleans today SU did what I thought they'll do blow TC out but TC was on SU hills.thay finally have a band with that New Orleans sound look at style that can give SU a run for thay money for a change. Keep doing your thing TC I hear u
Damn good battle.. That's not even su's whole band and they crankin
Talledega "get on my level" wow!
They should have said Hey Talladega!!! YOU TRYING TO SOUND LIKE US!!!!
naw my brother, TC sounds good!
Much love goes out to both programs but with our no doubt both bands were good but let's give total props to Dega for being a new band with total destruction every song was very strong
The HUMAN JUKE BOX with partial crew STILL SOUND SUPERIOR...U HEARD ME? The 2nd Jam Southern blew "The Feds are Watching me" IS SO SICK!
TC started there program a few years ago and battling a band that's been out for years and years now they did a great job, SU step your game up TC should not be no were close to y'all sound just saying.
Thank you its working. Hope it stays this way
Anybody know the song/artist for the last song SU played? 9:26
On My Grind...by ZRo
Clearly this isn't SU's whole band!
Can someone please tell me what was the last song SU played in this clip. Artist & Title..That shit is cold!!
By the way both bands were krankin,I kno most of you would give the bias W to SU just because they're SU.but TC is no sleeper

Dega's btones are loud. But, who isn't, when you're between 15-20 and recruit heavy from N.O.? Ask BamaSt and JSt.
The difference is...Dega's btones sound like 4 different loud btones. SU's sound like one massive btone. That there is the separation
People are really out of their everlasting minds bruh lol TC=Sarah T. Reed early 2000s quality and sound wise.

6 clarinets x2=12
12 saxes x2=24

Im in the biggest HBCU band out right now (BCU) . We don't have 28 btones. We had 23 this year . This is definitely probably 90% of their band. Probably more. These ppl ridin SU dick lol .

SU brought in HS numbers and still blew HEAT... Big ups to TC as well..
I love TC and Southern, But man, Southern bringing that Fuckin HEAT!!!
Talladega b-tones clowning on Su b-tones fr
SOUTHERN NEWEST RIVAL!
They'll never be a rival for SU. To you all maybe, but I'm more than certain they'll never be on the level of SU.
Jerome J haha aight, mark my words!
At 5:35 I fell out of my office chair !!!!!! SU All Day TOOOOOO MUCH POWER!!!!!!!!
The breakdown in Stoner was hell
Sonic Boom Alum.. Southern showed its dominance Round 2!!! 1-1 so far
What's SU first song called???
Better Believe It
F Horns @ 11:40 !!!!! WHOA!!!
You can't be a king wearing someone's crown... If matching sound makes them better, then you need to be at TC with them. Chords> Unison
When TC gets a football team dey could play SU wen da full band there
omg mellos at 11:40 ouchhhhh
Yes Southern still handled business with just half their band there. Thats not an excuse. Its simply facts.

Matter I think that's wen tevin became drum major in 07
Tc tubas sound cleaner in my opinion.
TALLADEGA BTONES MAKE THEIR BAND SON!!!!! THEY ARE THE STRAIGHT UP GLUE IN THEIR POWER!!!!!! WOW!!! -MEAC ARRANGER PMA CHARTER 01 #6
Talladega brought it
You see those horns on the left side of the screen for TC? I know you see and hear them and you know what horns they are. Long story short, they were MERKIN!!!!
I'm A SU fan but to me Talladega and Southern are the top bands they are neck and neck
i think su and jsu
A lot of people pissed off because I think they never would have thought a band that been around for only 2 years could have stood a chance to su. When I was in high school I'll be honest I low key looked up to su but after playing against them I was like is this the su iv been looking up to??!? They wasn't as loud or clean as Talladega.

Talladega loud and they sound good but the arrangements need to be upgraded... SU gets the W because they have the balance of it all in the clips... and don't sleep this is probably SU pep band.. yall know the band gets smaller in the spring but Talladega got something to prove... so they got all accounted with a lot of seasoned players... lets keep these things in mind
These MF's will never be SWAC material.
Thank you band god for allowing this battle. Amen! I bet these kids soaked their lips in carmex/blistex after this one. My goodness!!

SU tubas on @ 5:28 tho
Trying to see where Talladega "sounded like a hs band"? I wish a few hs bands I know sounded halfway that strong.
Ooo my God after 11:40 it was clearly over
Tc sound good but southern ate this round up
Comin from a UNbiased person. SU was louder as usual....but they lose control sometimes with it. still sounded good. I liked TCs volume too but they seemed to have a tad bit more control when blowin'. Damn near carbon copy bands though.
Su mellows att 11:40 smh whew

lol showing them what they did to ASU After halftime last year lol
Poor Miguel. Lesson learned. Never go up against the school that taught you.
Not a SU fan but that last song tho was nice
Is it me or do the guys and gals down south make playing look like it hurts? No disrespect but it looks like some of y'all gonna cause some major physical damage to yourselves out there. lol. That said I wish there was more stuff like this up here.
It looks like it for sure how some of them put their whole body in their instrument. The sound is phenomenal!
DAT BETTER BELIEVE IT!!
Hey Talladega. You sound like a HS band. You better believe it.
Lol, well played.
That Z-Ro was crucial
Man look i feel that SU kiiled em hands doiwn !!!!!!?!?!? Big S/O to dem yo frfr
TC sounds good but nothing they played the whole battle was better than "Beyond". TC puts you in the mind of Bama State lots of volume with below par arrangements. TC only had 2 good arrangements the whole battle 1) Happy & 2) Thuggish Ruggish Bone...... If TC gets better arrangers then they'll definitely be a force to deal with
This was a great battle and SU waxed their ass.. And I noticed didn't bring their whole band.. If just this half waxed their ass just imagine if the whole band was there.. SMH... Talladega wouldn't even had a chance man especially on Holy Grail.
3:51 tho
Talladega in round 1&2 were so powerful that it seems like they won....but if we grade this like a boxing match I think this battle is a tie...Round 3&4 southern sounded way better and round 5 no band had a clear edge
SU killed it hands down! Good battle tho
