BandHead REACTS to Jackson State University vs Mississippi Valley State | 5th Quarter (2023) 

I’m so dam proud of jsu and I’m a SU fan.

You already know it’s bad when KB can’t say nun and just start laughing outta nowhere😂😂

I cant lie but that "CAN WE TALK" so damn beautiful....JUST PERFECT JSU

Nobody : Dr little : band wat do y’all wanna play in this massacre😂

I also expected a better battle from Valley. I saw them in the BOTB at the beginning of the year and I was looking forward to this battle. However, Dr. Little has his foot on the gas and he is not letting up for anyone. Dr. Little is not taking it easy on anyone. If you are going against the BOOM you had better be on top of your game because Dr. Little is coming with sound, musicality, arrangements, technique & style as well as execution that you can only get from the BOOM. I love to see Dr. Little & Travis get hyped because that rubs off on the band and the crowd. They are unmatched!!!!!💙🤍💙🤍

Like JSU chanted in the 4th... "yall ain't got no book!"

Bonds playing the other schools traditional songs is “finesse” I guess 🤣🤣 I think they played 2-3 of JSU’s at this game…instead of learning new songs to battle with 🙃

Mississippi Valley was feeling themselves by playing when JSU was marching in, but the 5th quarter Valley had to eat crow.😞

The recruitment tape take me out every time 😂

"I feel like Jackson State practicing right now." Come on KB...😂

Why is the Director for Valley just standing there.....Direct! Tempo...something???? BOOM!

We are gathered here today to witness Valley aka Valladega’s demise against JSU 💀💀💀 RIP Valley aka Valladega

Valley woodwinds sitting to the side really bothers me😂😂

@KBThaBandhead I waited a couple days for your review and u did not disappoint! I was ready😂 I love your channel man keep up the awesome work. Team JSU❤

Valley trumpets over there fighting for their lives on them Fisher price horns.

So Valley played We Came to Play when we were marching in and Swoop in the fifth…. It’s giving I wish I went to JSU instead 😂😂😂

MVSU and Alcorn have and will always be our little brothers…this battle was merely us giving Valley another fresh set of noogies 😂

Valley trumpets sound like somebody choking jerry from tom and Jerry 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Wish JSU played knights back, they honestly have the best arrangement! Juke4Life 💛💙💛💙💪🏾

If valley was in there with lots of other hbcu bands it wouldn't have come out so bad 4 em. But Jstate just something serious! Hitting hard & different every week. They understand the u tube and 5th quarter 2023 process fully!!!!💯

Poe lil ole Valleydega 😂 that one trumpet was holding on like a baby tooth😂

Lol mad I missed the notification for this but I’ve been waiting for this reaction all week 🤣🤣🤣

Bonds is my SU crab brother ❤. Congrats on your new musical venture bro 💯👍🏾

Two different weight classes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“Alright good first note”🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Valley sounded better last year which is crazy

I've been waiting on this!! THEEILOVE

@KBtheBandhead 22:00 Vally tried to play Swoop !! Lol a JSU classic BTW 😂😂😂 yeaaaa nawllll!!

Been waiting on your review version of this 😂

Transfer portal for bands ! Im weak

Thank God JSU did not overblow Butterflies, yeah finally some finesse, dynamics, and musicality all in one in the SWAC, i was soo scared they were going to ruin it by trynna overblow, cant power play a song like that, they kept that joint right in the pocket, HELL YEAH BOOM i loved it

Hold you’re horses. Coming in hot trumpets

Been waiting on this lol

“Mmm. Yeah…” -KB 😂😂😂

That facial expression @37:06 😂😂😂😂😂😂

MVS 2nd song was nice - But it's a battle of quality vs name/ quantity... I like the slide notes from the trombones!

Man shout out to Jackson State for shaking up the whole SWAC hierarchy!!! Love them (STILL SU ALL DAY!!) Funny thing is I saw a trumpet player for Valley last Friday before the game and was like man hope y'all do well. But just thinking about the answer he gave when I asked are they ready......it was like a forced yeah like we know who we got coming tomorrow. Gonna be honest, I think they're still in the honeymoon stage of being this size. Hopefully they put in the work and not get comfy cuz this ain't it!!! WTBS, Looking forward to this BoomBox BOTB!! Hopefully SU has been eating!! 💛💙

Valley thought they were playing swoop…cute

It’s not even funny how bad this was in person and they had the nerve to march out to get ready 🤡

MVSU will be okay just give them time. 3/4s of the band are freshmen. They will continue to grow and get better. They just hired an assistant to assist Dr. Bonds.

I feel like MS Valley used their strengths which is their low brass.. I've been saying this...Bands should use their strengths to their advantage. JSU is just that band!!! I think both were awesome ❤

I’m so glad I went to J-S-U‼️ THEEILOVE 😊

We’re gonna have to get a sponsor for KB to go to the boombox classic next year for a live reaction

It appears valley were playing fast songs for the satin dolls! It makes sense, they wanted to give them something to buck to against the settes

💯💯💯

@KBthabandhead what took so long for that deduction. You was being real generous 😂😂😂😂 Bro you said the whole battle was a deduction 😂😂😂😂 You killing me bro OMG I’m dead!!!

Good job for Sonic Boom ❤❤❤

@39:38 he said just the whole song the whole battle deductions.....😂😂😂😂lmao😊

I think part of valley's problem is their arrangements.

Quality of people over quantity anyday

The Devil is in the details…but not at Valley. 😭😂

37:59 tuba line is groovy!

This battle was a valley dead body!

Please do the sectional fanfares 😭😭 gots to see yo reaction

What happened to the land band director of valley . I think he came from alcorn. He was there like one year.

And also Valley needs all of the percussion to be together, that’s why tempo is thrown off

@20:05 it’s Turn Yo Clic by Quavo & Future

So bonds took a song we played at Dega and gave it to valley 🤦🏽‍♂️

It’s cool, give us time! I can take the heat, but wait til next year! Salute to Jsu though, I grew up on both bands

37:50 u late on getting a snack bro i went and got one after it was 3-0😂😂😂

Valley has come a long way...but JSU fed them though a wood chipper because Valley didn't have a game plan or stamina as the battle continued.

Did you see the clip of the terrible start to a song for Valley when the Boom about to do a trombone fanfare? Valley sounds like a high school that can't decide if they want to copy JSU or SU. The song sounds like nothing, then they will all the sudden start punching. I don't remember Valley ever having upper brass. How do you skate on Africano?

Yep, you called it. JSU all the way ❤

Give Bonds a minute, he’s back in the Swac

Bonds bands are ALWAYS low brass heavy!

He think he in high school 😅😂😂

I think valley got some horn holders in there band

The bottom line is…Everyone should be proud Valley has gotten better…we all praised them for anything they did when they had 30 people but it’s sad to see people disrespecting them now

Valladega is inexperienced in 5th quarter battles, but that was the smallest part of the problem in this performance. The intonation, unbalanced highs and lows, wrong voicing remindsme of Talladega and txsu in certain years past, overblowing to the point the rhythm notations are bleeding over the melody, no musicality, and for a band is like no soles on a shoe, no focus, no discipline, no leadership. Because of the way they kept playing bad music after the battle was lost. Last but not least arrangements was middle school/high with reharmonization, voice leading, chord progressions, whole notes that bleed over the melody, no stamina, attacks and releases on melodic lines throwing the balance off, (song selection and song choice was questionable trash for a musical battle) 😢 Msvs gets a 2/10 from me. Would have been less than 2, but they at least came in uniform. 😅

Valley’s song selections were terrible cause wtf was this 🤦🏽‍♂️

Word-up to the Boom (sometimes you got to take it back to Old School)!! Double-clap to Mississippi Valley for showing up (always encourage our young folks)!! Also, as for Recruitment tape, Yep!! But somebody got to tell these Fresh that they "may" not come out the gate playing with the Boom in their first year; with all the talent from the upper classmen, no. But Freshmen, especially if you are on scholarship, then don't worry about it; just keep practicing, and hanging out, you have 3 more years to get your turn. But throw the young Freshmen cymbal dude out there, you know who I'm talking about, the Mexican/White dude. Also, can someone tell DR LITTLE and the JSU Band to play "MAGIC MIND" again before the season is over. You guys need to go back and listen to that song, I think it was the 2nd game for JSU, I thought I was going to lose my mind; every section sounds great!! I went to the Week 0 game, in Atlanta, and I was sitting two seats next to the Tubas, I didn't know we would be sitting that close until I got there. But I had a blast. Continue jamming JSU.

Thee Thee

Vally sounded more like a middle school band

Damn good battle...I love JSU but Valley wasn't just laying down...they was fighting a titan...n Valley trumpets was going..idk why u said the high brass wasn't giving..if anything it was they lower brass that was kinda weak

KB I guess you're gonna have to pay Valleys director a visit to let them know whassup. They were trying but it came to naught unfortunately. Better luck next time.

JS bottom puts them over the top ALL THE TIME!

26:00 mark what is jackson playing

Easy win for jsu. I love those tuba's they be hawking. The best tuba's in the Swac.

Valley started this battle at crappy SEC BAND ATTEMPTING SHOW BAND TUNES level and ended at HIGH SCHOOL BAND WITH 3 TUBAS AND 5 TRUMPETS status 🤦🏾‍♂️

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 boy this was bad. They literally died fareal

@KBthebandhead im bout to get a snack😂

Im just glad valley got the numbers back up.. state of Mississippi is back powered up! The boom is a grown Azz MAN though!

Valley Gots To DO Better if they compete in the swac

why is Valley set-up like that??

Mississippi Sleeper

Please react to Central State University

Why in the world did Jackson stay after the fifth round 🤦🏾‍♂️

Mane as The boom was marching in Valley played We came to play I mean

Valley wasn’t as good as JSU but they aren’t as bad as KB makes them out. They are better than a high school. Def a win for JSU.

They still playing high school type music. 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️😂😂😂

KB is so rude and uncouth. I hope he is not an educator.

Must see Miss Valley Crank on Thee Sonic Boom 💥 marching in the Game. 👉 Then See the Sonic Boom 💥 Crank on Miss Valley immediate after Halftime. Electric told Destroy Valley
