@ASU19992006 Well I am a piano major at Albany State.....And I had a FULL music scholarship to Alabama State!!!!! I've sat in your classes and looked at your caliber of students the music dept at Alabama State doesn't even come close to that of Albany State's and that's a fact!!!! Our level of musicianship is better, our students are more knowledgeable and we have NEVER had a single student to fail the teaching certification exam in Music Education! So I know what I'm talking about!!
@MuzykMane10 i didnt say they gotta sound bad, but if u havent looked around this aint no concert, its a BAND BATTLE, they are not on concert mode they are on pep rally mode, and thats the whole point, is to have the crowd jumpin..............
@str8glockBOI Well that school in the hood has done a lot for Black America just as all HBCUs have. Our school is expanding and buying up land all around the ASU community. Most HBCUs are located near the hood ,including the AUC center in Atlanta where Morehouse, Spellman, and Clark are located.
@SS2K3 NASM is the National Association of Schools of Music and 2.7 is the bar the state of Alabama set for all of their schools so take that up with them I'm not from Alabama...
Alabama State is the real ASU established in 1869. When was Albany State established partner? Alabama State smoked Albany. And the Stingettes took the Passionettes to school! They were Stung ASU Style!
hmmm yall hear the crowd ???? yall see the ppl on the field???? yall see how they reacted when ASU played after bama?????? yeah...... ALbany got this one.
Maybe because I went to Alabama State (the most magnificent university on the face of th Earth) and was in the MARCHING HORNET BAND, I have no problem making out the notes!!!
Lol!!! SWACCC WE IN HERE! I'm sorry, but that was HARBDLY A BATTLE....ALWAYS IMITATED, BUT NEVER DUPLICATED.......ALABAMA STATE UNIVERSITY MIGHTY MARCHING HORNETS!
@561gboy1 I just realized somethin, the real ASU(Albany) will always have haters. all yall mad cause Albany tryed up bama state and sounded way better than them. and im up here actin childish wit yall. ima let MRSB speak for its self. so yall can keep commentin negativly but it aint gone change the fact that Albany got a better sound than Bama state.
@jsnevels2 you are definantly wrong, 2 weeks after the fountain city botb i got high wit a trompet player from bama. this right here is a BAND ARGUMENT we aint got nothin personal against no other bands. and to answer your never ending questions: no albany ddnt get smaller, the trumpet player from bama told me there whole plan once the walked in the stadium, i play all instruments,i do go to albany(the real ASU), and no stillman ddnt come to the game that day.
to be perfectly honest the Real ASU battle between Bany and Bama is a no brainer, Albany State hands down, Bama need to watch out for Arizona State if anybody, they more ASU than them niggaz LoL
ASU has one of the best neck arrangements if not the best! and swac school do play loud, that doesnt take away from musicianship, only somebody from a slaw band would try to play that card, playing loud and keepin the characteristic tones of ur instrument takes ability! so to that music wizard fellow just fall back smh
@viperzay How in the hell would you know what Alabama State students do after undergrad. Our students go on to graduate schools too! I think it's pretty presumptious to think that on Albany State students go on to graduate school. And can't nobody mess with Alabama State's Neck!
SIAC BEEN DOIN THE SWAC LATELY.....I LOVE ME SUM SKEGEE BUT UMM ALBANY...HAHA U DOIN IT BABY!!!!! TU GOT BAMA ST IN FOOTBALL...LMAO!!!! AND ALBANY GOT YALL IN THE MUSICAL CATEGORY....WATS NEXT.....MOREHOUSE VS JSU....FORGET BOUT THAT ONE!! BUT 4REAL LETS GO SIAC
Ok there really was not a battle. When it comes to "Neck", nobody plays is better than my alma mater, the ALABAMA STATE UNIVERSITY. Stingettes look classy & organized and Bama State wins hands down...they reppin for the SWAC (home of the best bands such as Alabama State, JSU, SU, TxSU, UAPB, PVAMU just to name a few)!!!
I dont see were state was sloppy at there new neck is just unique in its on way it has alot of diff. parts in it .... not to mention that albany state did not sound full at all.... not loud cuz how loud a band is and how full a band is...is two diff things plus albany trumpets cept on getting hammered by their lower brass sectoin. BUT!!!! both bands sounded pretty good but i would have to give it to BAMA state and i go to neither one of these colleges......yet.
@ASU19992006 To your first comment, Alabama State was NEVER my first choice USC was and due to family circumstances I did not go. And marching band does not reflect true musicianship.........And how about since Alabama State has such "superb" musicians just make sure they bring it at HBCU consortium next year.
@anonymous10001000 WHAT!!!??? so a band can sound like str8 shit but if they shake they ass good enough and the crowed likes it, that means they have a better show? shitin me
@str8glockBOI Also, there have been several incidents where students from the AUC center have been harmed by people in the surrounding community in Atlanta. Not once have I ever heard of one person on ASU's campus being harmed by a member of the surrounding community.
@anonymous10001000 when you say "SHow" yu mean halftime show? cause playin well is apart of the show, in the stands and the field. yu caint have a good show without sounding good.
@SS2K3 I'm not a youngster. The Modern Day Civil Rights Movement started in Mongtomery in December of 1955. Although King marched in Albany in 1962 and 1963, this was after Montgomery. In the annals of the civil rights struggle Albany had no signicant impact. That's why people remember Montgomery and not Albany. I was a honors history major in college, so come at that with somebody else who doesn't know any better. I'm through teaching class. Class dismissed!
Yeah state got the W here but the competition was sub-par so this doesn't really constitute a beatdown. Albany, Clark, MoB....??? I like to see my boys give the business to heavyweights. Still brought the HEAT though. Also, no disrespect to the other bands either.
@pvuband78752 exactly. SU would BLAST on these bands while these bands would show more musicianship and attention to tone and many other things that SU simply covers up by being loud and nasty
@MuzykMane10 There si something wrong with your comment. My question was not never ending. Dont you think that if it was you will be still answering questions? Ok then. It dd look like Albany st did get smaller looking at all the 2010 videos and when i went to miles game. Its funny th first song yall played was neck when Miles was marching in the stand. And all those things you said i really dont believe you. And how did you get to talk to one of Ala st trumpet player?
@doughertycounty yeah im from athens, went to the high school rite down the street from UGA. now UGA red coat band and GA Tech even LSU ar some good bands too dnt get me rong, but marching bands are sapose to give the crowd a SHOW in the stands and on the field, thats why Show bands are so popular.
@str8glockBOI You are free because of Alabama State. The Montgomery Bus Boycott which started on the campus of ASU started the Modern Day Civil Rights Movement. Then all of the other HBCUs and black people in the South started to demonstrate. Read the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the Women who started it, and you just might learn something that you didn't know.
Going to Albany state I wanted to say they won but baby Them STINGS ain't come to play !!! Now if that was 2011-2015 lines then that would've went totally different
@sbwos By the other comments, I'm not the only one who thinks ASU destroyed albany and thinks the other people are just hating, albany groupies who are just finding ways to hate! For an example..................... you
@jarrodMJG STATE fix a funk song a bested it in a military fashion all the albany band members who most clearly all commented this video seem to be upset the school plays thestandard high school neck
I like Bama States better... more raw, more emotion, more intensity, it sounds good to me both had some errors but I'm going with Bama State on this one
@jsnevels2 lol obviouly they do care causethey started the whole argument. the ones hating are the ones to draw 1st blood. just like this year, once they got in the stands the 1st thing they did was play neck, lol. they was mad wat we did to them last year lol. hilarious
@MuzykMane10 How you know what they are mad about I dont think you everybody in asu band if im correct? Anyway what happened to Alabany st they are smaller? ASU (ala st the real asu) plays neck everywhere they go so you point is? Do you play an instrument? Do you go to Albany st? Am im in college ? no Do I play an instrument ? yes. Have i heard bothy bands play lively? Yes. Actually I went to Ala st vs tuskegee and Albany vs miles.. Did stillman come up to Albany st?
@jsnevels2 they should have let micheal keep his clothes cause the whole damn stadium talked about those dancers the whole time they were there. bama cant tell when they are being cheered or booed cause they loud ad for what. let settle the non sense. when is the last time bama went to honda. where the best bands are showcased for talent in a musical and showman stand point
@str8glockBOI And another thing Alabama has a better educational system than Georgia. Google the SAT scores for 2006. Alabama ranked 15th nationally and Georgia ranked 46th near the bottom. So who is illiterate? Georgia or Alabama? You do the math!
Even though could not care less about this battle i must say that the "stingettes" however organized and cordinated they look reveal entierly too much of themselves in thier uniforms. Idk if its a alabama thing or what but they are more than half naked and that is not something they should have worn outside. There are children and husbands and fathers at these events. Someone should let them know that they are maiking people feel uncomfortable and some even disgusted.
OK this might answer the question to who the REAL ASU is... Who Is Going To Honda Again This Year And Who Is Not???? there yu go ALBANY STATE IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE THE REAL ASU!!!!!!!!!
i have to agree. given all the circumstances bany state was better. i would expect better from a swac school. but then bama state aren't really respected as a swac school. ask some 1.
@jsnevels2 nope albany ddnt get smaller cause the trmpt section doubled the tbne section got smaller btne section smaller horns got more dline got bigger certain woodwinds got smaller some got bigger and the tubas got smaller so the band stayed the same size. yes we played neck when miles came in cause we were ready for them this year. and you not believing me means nothin cause your a nobod, your not even in college. and the trumpet player use 2 go 2 Albany we do kno ppl from other bands, duh
@SS2K3 The Alabama State University Department of Music is accredited by NASM and has been for a very long time....weak ass Albany State's music dept. isn't accredited. Check for yourself nasm dot org
LMAO @ The Stingettes being "TACKY". I never known it to happen. F.Y.I, as several people have stated, they were reinacting M.J's "Beat It. Don't get mad because the Dancing Cows, pardon, Divas have no sense of fashion. Everyone knows that if the competition were based solely on appearance, the Stingettes would win by default. Lisa would never allow them to be tacky. Just be thankful that they didn't do a wardrobe change. That would have really put these rachett fifty-cent pieces to shame.
