A&M sounds fantastic... the quality of their sound is awesome. I hear some improvement from TC but they need to clean it up some more. Some parts are hella muddy..
First and foremost great video taping by u Mr. Killa Kev as usual. I really appreciate your vids, so clear and crisp with great audio. AAMU is back with a bit of a vegeance it seems. The flag corp and dancers are ready to work as well. Looking and sounding good u guys!
Killa Kev great job as usual with the video taping. AAMU u guys are sounding good and strong this season with divas and flag corp looking good as well. Dega proud to see u guys are making progress and will continue to wish u much success this season. (Side note) enjoyed your song selection TC
Erick Phillips that’s that meac in them still and TC is most def progressively making a sound of their own I think since they came out they hand to gain attention and still is although they started out with a lot of transfers from almost every conference they are now at the point where recruits aren’t a problem and can work on building a better identity! They both did they thing in this one !
Branden Bryant It’s crazy to me because that March proved they can sound good. It’s like they don’t care about balance, blend, innovation, articulation when it comes to regular selections. They be so harsh. The tuba line just be splatting and honking lol
When central finally arrived...good sound for small band. TC y’all was good and great sound but AAMU wins 0 and 5th quarter!! Both were good battles!! Outnumbered but not outplayed.
@@wesleydaniels40 "famu got blew out by SU" = this symphonic orchestra got blew out by a N.O. Big brass band. Each exemplify a different genre and style of music. Thats what SU do. Y'all need to wtfu and appreciate da shit bands is doing. I don't come one here par once against the other unless otherwise ( swac.vs swac or meac vs meac). About the 100 being trash. Unless you understand the 100 (which you would have to be IN it for that) your opinions are null to me. The band is still rebuilding, but 2019 seems to be our "resurgent" edition. They well on the way back to the 100 sound. I am VERY critical of the 100 and the sound. While in the past comments like yours found ground on these comment sections. But were they stand now, thats some bullshit. You obviously don't know the 100 sound. If you did, youd know exactly where the post 2011 program stands. FAMU don't blow and SU wooodwinds sound like gaaabage. Can't play SHIT if it dont got SU on the sheet music. But see, we (hbcu bands and community) doing too much progression to waste my time over comparing, reaching, etc. I don't even listen to AAMU, i hit em with good vibes. Battles etc all good yea, but yall niggas need to get out of being immediately divisive.
@@wesleydaniels40 The intensity is not the same. But that is built (imo) with your retained veteran and senior band members, who understand the concept used to produce the "wall of sound". 2019 potential comes from them folks who been marching/learning the last 4..5 years
I'll give Dega props for cleaning up the sound. There is still some cleaning up to do. The attacks and releases were iffy. Balance and blend can be improved but sound much better than the last few seasons. Overall I give it to A&M. I'm not completely sold on the arrangements but I can't find fault with their musicianship.
TC sound good but not AAMU good. A lot of hanging over notes, flat at some points. As I always say, a baby can cry loud, but that's still is not a good sound. AAMU have stepped up from the last 3 years. Sound clean and can hear all the parts. The battle of the bands in Birmingham, Miles sounded great. But, until they work on control, we can't give them the band of Alabama. And, State need to tell Dr. Oliver it's time to retire. And, this is coming from someone who listen to band music all day.
I said the same thing bro I crab down there in 04 the band have been up and down for years one year they sound ok next sound like shit. The only thing holding on is the dances girls
If people say that Dega won this battle, they must not know the difference between blasting, pitch, and intonation, because they sound horrible and not clean. I can hear all parts of the song and know the name of the songs from A&M.
Based on quality of sound: PVAMU is definitely in this conversation! I haven't heard them in person, but the video of them vs Grambling👍🏾 The Storm is sounding great👌🏾
I can appreciate dega adding some more technical music to the book. Needs just a lil more fine tuning but it wasnt bad at all. Imma give the zero to A&M though they brought the whole 9 yards plus the 10th.
@@gofish4392 ...if you are saying Miles demolished AAMU then no👀 not the same battle😅 That's like saying Stillman demolished Miles😂 Miles was great, but not better than A&M Stillman was good, but not better than Miles.
Fan of Music, I can’t take your judgement serious cat. You think Aamu exposed State with a poorly arranged rap tune😂😂😂 MCC 5th quarter gone definitely have you coming with the excuses😉 Then y’all will revert back to the we louder position🤷🏽♂️ Couldn’t use that card with Dega nor have I seen anyone from Aamu mention volume. Watch how that differs in MCC comments because ASU will sound better and have better arrangements. We shall see who gets exposed in a full battle😎
/\/\ MARCHINGSPORT they’ve been announcing it but I live on the coast and it wasnt that much publicity for it this year. I completely forgot about it until Friday evening.
Didn’t see anything online. Just saw the flyer for the Mobile Battle of the Bands last week and put it on the schedule. A lot of times it seems there’s only 2-4 weeks notice for an event, if that these days. The National BOTB and Battle for Birmingham gave months in advance notice. Good to have options.
This was just the Gulf Coast Challenge Football Game. The BOTB is Next Weekend. I won’t even be able to make that because of my job. But I know what you mean about the time frame. The promoters be dropping the ball.
Reginald Blouin well they have a new band director imo I don’t feel like he is being the heat like Haymer I’m a huge SU fan but they have been slacking and that’s honest truth but of course the Dolls are also fun to watch they always keep it clean and classy
What's some of the differences between being there in person and this video? I am asking because perspective is important. I highly recommend listening to the videos with a pair of good headphones!
Initially, Central State was not slated to come, so they asked Dega to come down and stand in....... Central State decided to come but arrangements had already been made for Dega.
@@gofish4392 your funny man...lol.. I marched so I know thanks. It's called control and balance while playing. I actually like TC and have personally witnessed them in person. I will say certain sections have a tendency to overblow and stick out which in turn causes some distortion. However, they do crank and put out watts. Just my opinion bro. Lol
TC sounded muddy and trash, woodwins all ova da woadd but AAMU sounded clean and collected and the whole band over all was better than TC. TC stands for Total criple btw if yall didnt know by the way they sounded. Loll
Aamu is clean they baritones are ass and they mellos never go above the staff meanwhile Talladega blowing haymakers from that corner and they sound good
