I will NEVER FORGET THIS DAY lol this was the best most organized chaos I have ever experienced but only if every band that was suppose to participate came. Southern, Grambling, and North Carolina A&T were suppose to be there. It was a bad storm that weekend.
Still watching this shit in 2020. Boy when ASU hit J State with that wall of sound with the trumpets screamin crazy in the midst of it that shit was vicious!!! 🎺 🔊😳 LOL
Whoa! Alabama State was so big back in 2008! They atleast two Jacksons put together! Either way, they both was on smash mode! But Jackson definitely felt some type of way when they played that “Freaky Girl” towards them.😳😨😱
@@TJCoolzD seems like band isnt as big as it used to be, and a lot of states are cutting fine arts from schools so kids dont get introduced to band in elementary or middle school anymore like we used to!
@@nigelholland1714 them and cookman are some of the only bands that have had constant numbers. SCSU was almost 300 in this video, and they probably have 40 people now. Texas Southern used to always have over 215 but id be surprised if they have more than 110 now. FAMU used to be damn near 400 strong their numbers are smaller as well.
I been lookin at dis video since the day it was posted, I cant get enough. I love my school(JSU) but ASU did the damn thing wit dat Freaky Girl! The SWAC showed they ass, and thats how its suppose to be. NO COMPARISON!!!!
What makes this video good is that ASU doesn't react but JSU does. ASU literally waited for their turn. JSU was climbing all over each other to get to them to hold up their instruments. Regardless of who anyone thinks took an L, it is without question that at the time of occurrence JSU was feeling some kind of way. If they had have just sat still the video would leave less of an impression in favor of ASU.
i remember this yr ASU and JSU was both going at it but i had to give it to ASU on this one i will say for JSU to be small that yr they had ALOT of sound
People act like you're crazy when you say ASU was clean. They sounded pretty damn clean to me especially playing full out w/ those kind of numbers. Everybody ignore the fact that JSU trumpets was hanging over and sounded bad at the end of their notes. NOBODY has said a word about it. LMAO. They WANT everyone to believe it was Alabama State that was sloppy tho. Footage don't lie. I don't get y'all.
Well being from atlanta, and being somebody who has played in memorial stadium in jackson, bragg memorial in tallahassee, crampton bowl in mobile, aggie stadium in a&t, and legion field in birmingham. HERNDON stadium turns your sound up. Its like a natural amplifier that makes your bands sound 10 times bigger
Facts! Herndon is essentially a bowl, with only 2 escapes: up or out the only open end of the stadium... that sound bounces around like crazy in there.
Sad asu had only that one good song that whole day 😂 and JSU so little but their power matches asu that’s bad 😩 but I must say JSU got what they asked for 😂
I can remember battling JSU in the Gulf coast classic in 98 when Kelly Price sung friend of mine in their halftime show. Jsu was bringin it. I gotta admit that was my most memorable battle in the 5th quarter.
All I'm going to say about this is I am MMH and crabbed on B-tone in 07 and played from 07-09. This year we did not even touch 30+ btones. That same day we got back from playing FAMU and came straight to ATLANTA after we changed. From a massive game to this awsome performance, we did our best. There are only unison notes in the beginning but as the song goes on every section has their own distinct part... We are NOT FAMU or SU we are ASU... each band has their own sound..... S.S.D-B.B.G/H-n-H
ASU showed why they have a good rep with most fans such as myself.Nothin against JSU,they show up as well.But there are times when ASU just stings harder than you ever thought they could.
WHEN ASU TURNED AND PLAYED THAT FIRST NOTE, JSU HAD TO JUMP UP BECAUSE THEY REFLEXES INVOLUNTEERILY RESPONDED TO ASU'S POWER!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA EPIC ASU EPIC1!!!!!
I don't understand how tubas can be that close to one another, because when ASU blew on JSU..they got mad and I thought it was going to be a stand fight. That's what JSU get for being so close to ASU. lol
I'm trying to figure out, why JSU acted all crazy soon as ASU turned on them. I mean YOU JUST DID it TO THEM. What do You expect?!?!?! Any why yall whole yall horns up when clearly dat was da loudest shit played in the stadium that day?
True, in the beginning ASU and JSU had great trouble with that, but when they opened up it was totally different listen to when both bands open up to Fortissississississimo when they face the camera, they both sound more unison and you can here all the parts.
You got to give ASU a slight edge for effect with this one. When JSU faced them, they were relatively cool about it and prepared themselves to play. When ASU returned the favor JSU completely lost their composure which made it "LOOK" like Bama got under their skin. What did they think would happen? JSU still sounds good none the less.
Regardless of who got blew on, Im luvin this. JSU/ASU showin them other schools how intense the SWAC is EVERY SATURDAY of the season! They started showin out and turned a rather "friendly" exhibition into a warzone in a matter of minutes. lol GOTTA LUV DA SWAC BABY!!!! You take a break, you take an L...
I am a fan of Alabama State University, they did very well but I also like other great bands such as Jackson State University, Southern University, FAMU. Some of you all are getting too caught up on " my band is better than yours" Come on people you all represent a great legacy in being apart of awesome and wonderful bands of HBCUs. Take pride in your school but no need to hate on others. I love to see any HBCU band perform well. Just my take on things.
I think both were solid. JSU has more volume then the numbers suggest... They mellos have been coming alive the last few years... Before they were like SCSU's mellos... JUST THERE... ASU... Exactly how big are they... I'm not the bigget fan of ASU but I love they freaky girl...
I totally I agree with that comment. Everything that is loud doesnt sound good...but you have to give props when props are due...plus the crowd decided the winner was ASU hands down...and thats the untrained ear.
i havent heard TSU but stadium configuration and adrenaline factors more than most know.I love The Boom and proudly protest that you can hear this song being played half way to Ridgeland when they are in Jaxn--everybody has their opinion but its different when the show is at home.everybody got their picks and shows favoritism...but it all comes down to the crowd.When was the last time your school boycotted games cause the band didn't play That's love Like it or love it JSU ROCKS THE HOUSE!!!!!
