BandHead REACTS to Memphis Mass Band vs Georgia Mass Band | Battle For the Culture IV (2023) 

Memphis smashed them folks

Search and rescue was enough for me

Damn good battle.. both bands was🔥🔥🔥but Memphis..my gawd man... they was destroying

If you are judging off of arrangements then Memphis by a landslide

After watching this a 2nd time I still give this to Memphis. They had a better selection and musicality. GAMB had a cleaner sound but most of the arrangements weren't challenging. I think GA was on an out power mission. In the end they were out finessed and given the size difference, MMB wasn't as far off with power as you think. i guess GAMB has more hs students this season, but I think they have some horn holders. Wity their style of play I think they should top out at 300 and that's being generous more like 250. Anything beyond that and music becomes muddy and balance becomes hell with their style. Trumpets were nowhere to be found and Mellos had moments like that too. I hope GA takes this L and does some labwork for NOASB. They took MMB lightly and got exposed for it

Bruh I literally watched this entire battle and just realized it was held at McDonough High School (The Warhawks) where I graduated in '07 as 1st trumpet. Great battle and great commentary. Memphis straight brought that HEAT!

I dont think ive ever seen KB give a band 3 or more deductions and they still won the battle. Memphis made this harder than it had to be but still won. Coulda been a blowout.

One of the best battles from Memphis I’ve heard in a while 👍🏾

Its like he gotta confirm it for us everybody been waitin on this😂ill be hitting that cashapp again

Gotta give it to MMB. The real one 💪🏾. They came ready!!

I started watching this yesterday… the beginning so lit!!!!! Had to wait on the review tho! LETS GOOOO!

David versus Goliath 😂

Man.. this brings back so many memories!! Growing up Memphis. Loved being in the band!! Loved that 2 tuba part on Lay with you by El Debarge

47:44 was OD😂😂😂😂 I’m crying mane! Everybody out there said “oooooohhhhh”

Ok we have hard from everyone else but now it’s time to hear from @kb the Roger Broz say some very interesting things

At first I thought he was being biased against Memphis. Yes they made a couple mistakes but at the end you did say it could have easily been a clean sweep by Memphis...but everybody knows Memphis came and slapped!!!

Seee, everyone else gave GAMB the first round! I been think MMB got the first round; glad to see you agree.

i been waiting boy fr

WoW factor and arrangements goes to MMB. Overall sound goes to GAMB. Depends on what you like

Man, that 3rd round was Lipstick Lover by Janelle Monae, go listen to the real song then go back to that round.

That Marley song Memphis played reminds me of how Fortvalley State could sound.

GA has million tubas but no bump…🤷🏾‍♂️

GAM Tubers have the same breakdown in every song

Bra every Georgia band played that bob marley when we were in school 😂😂😂

That’s how they write the tunes For the trumpets to hangover

Memphis all day💪🏽for the Dub‼️

Numbers don’t always win

Mane said yal got these Morris Brown numbers 😂 Im dead 20:13

I think folk just can’t count, it wasn’t a tempo issue just go and count you’ll see it’s in time. But the average person watching not counting. they ended on the e not the 1 so it sounds off but it’s all in tempo put a met on and watch

Say my Guy....you gotta a voice 2...I am a musician for 28+ yrs from da 901....I been reading, writing, arranging, & been MD for groups and now church......... You ain't fooling me....🤔🧐🤔 👍🔥👍....I hear ya doc....keep up the great work

@KbThaBandhead I come back alot and I say the same thing you say when you say come on pens during the tribute BoB Marley!!🔥🔥🔥

ian even watch the battle bc i wanted to wait for this reaction vid right here i swear😂

Idk why I be waiting to see dude videos before I even watch the original Like let’s skip watching until KB post 😂

Memphis with the W. GAMB brought the whole city just to sound loud and confusing lol.

Name of the song GAM played at 18:04??

Last year gamb was more balance too many people. Definitely need to cut their members. Mmb was more balanced for sure.🤷🏼‍♂️ Entertaining reaction as always kb. Glad u enjoyed Spain man keep it up👍🏼

That Cameo "tribute to Bob Marley" to start off... Sheesh!!

Been waiting on this video. Memphis won in my opinion….by a lot!

NEW ORLEANS bout to eat on them boys 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Gamb claim they saving shi until N.O but they looked like a fool tryna save

Powerful stand battle. That first song that Memphis played by Cameo entitled Tribute to Bob Marley was fire. It set the bar high. A lot of brass but that woodwind highlight was unexpected. Georgi will not underestimate an opponent. Memphis was the truth in this battle. Their arrangements fit their instrumentation. The percussion blended and thumped well.

I cant wait to see wat he gone say

They played that Under the influence better than SU…

Dang I was knocked out after work and missed the premier😩

the first deduction was false he hit the note!!! 😂😂

The musicality difference between the two is close to auto dub for Memphis. You giving GAMB too much of a pass bro. That third round should have went to MMB. GA responded with whole notes to Janelle Lipstick Lover. That sound had power, musicality. Execution could have been better but you gave them a L on a drum fill at the end come one my G

Mamb wanted all the smoke

32:24 Why buddy hit us with the creepy Truth Or Dare smile face tho 😂😂🤣🤣💀💀

GAMB got too many people, section’s fighting each other to be heard more. Trumpets can’t cut through all that

Memphis is more head ass as far as the performance goes but GAMB has an enjoyable dark rich sound

Been to Spain so many times. I was in the abacus so yea. Glad you enjoyed yourself.

There Wasn’t any tempo issues at the end of the song on lipstick lover. I disagree with that

GA sounds kind of empty on some songs, and at times they seem like they're just chilling. Then at times, it seems like they tried to go safe and simple because of the size. I didn't really love a song until round 5. Though 2 or 3 were good. Memphis just has a different mentality, and I don't just mean as far as band. I don't think this battle was even close. I had Memphis 6-1 or 5-1-1. GA finally showed something in round 7. I could go 5-2 if I was being generous. I wonder how crazy it would be if they did a Tennessee Mass band instead of just Memphis, and how GA gone move just to watch? IF a SWAC band moved like that, there would have been some face-to-face cranking. People trying to give GA a pass saying they have a better sound, but if you're bigger, simpler, and more conservative your sound should be good. Better is very subjective.

MMB 💪🏾🔥

Gamb js need them arrangements and they woulda had this battle fs

How I simply put it- Better arrangement: MMB Better sound: GAMB

Memphis!!

Take This L ho Take this L Ho Take this L Ho 😂🤣😂😂🤣🤣💪🏾🔥

GAMB HATERS I don't hate. Gamb is miles above this.

Im a GAMB fan but Memphis won this one.

Memphis!!🔥🔥🔥

I’m giving this to GA better sound. I will agree with the Memphis having better arrangements comment.

You trippin on the deductions my guy. You eliminating rounds literally because of one note in 2 songs🤦🏾‍♂️ lol. Which they weren't that off. It's a trumpet thing bro. You gotta shoot for the stars🤷🏽‍♂️🤝🤣. But let's be frfr. Memphis won them rounds big dawg😂😂😂.

They turned too us, i still heard my fart over them playing towards us 😂🤣😂

Need folks to stop talking about the trumpets GAMB's was getting ate up 😂

19:36 riff from GA was incredible

51:29 Both girls in the pink caught scratching on camera😭

337 vs regulators vs golden triangle. Improved from last year

I’m just happy to see the band is still alive in a time like this great jobs to both bands and my opinion both bands had the wrong song selections for their bands and they where playing like they where at practice like you said

GAMB outside sound is not the same as their inside sound!

Bro had favoritism for gamb its so obvious💀

Memphis tubas sound like 1 loud ass tuba. GAMB tuba section don't sound together

Mane my home city ain’t no b‼️h.. when we put our mind into that music. Don't play with it... don't play with it. I played in mass bad one time and my band director Derrick he is hard on arrangement. Playing that battle tuba ain't no joke💯

Where yo pin game at sir?? What mass band do u write Or play for 😂🤣😂🤣😂

I saw at least 2 former Jukes in Memphis trumpet section apart of the screamers

Ok Mr kb tha New Orleans band head we knew you couldn’t wait for somebody to blow GAMB out 😂 .

21:30 they played the heart part 5 by Kendrick Lamar and that was 🔥🔥🔥

Upset of the year. Big props to Memphis. But NOASB will have this season on lock

Gamb bout to get smashed by Noasb 90+ piece

Memphis had great songs and power for their size...biggest difference they were not clean at all. Their trumpets are out of control even though they hitting the notes...it can ruin a great song by hanging over way too much. GAMB had weird song selections but they were clean and had one sounding band. If MMB can clean that up and get some discipline, they will take it.

I love how y'all moved the goalposts one year is about cranking next year's about arrangements execution etc. Anyway... Both bands did great. I think the whole all-star band world has a low-key jealousy towards Georgia as far as how fast the program progression the short period Of time. I could be wrong but I am speaking from The spectators prospective not the actual programs

Memphis first round 🔥🔥🔥

Yep NOASB dont play that leaving early mess......Memphis won that

they wasn't ready for this. battle because band wise GA is only slight know for MORRIS BROWN

31:57 😂😂😂😂 my gosh thats funny

Arrangements mmb all day

The Marvin Gaye tune would have been better if the whole notes were held out for the full value. That is why the sound had gaps in it. Also, the tubas could have kept some of the original bass lines to help with the tempo when the drum line laid out. That song has mass potential.

I been tryna figure out who you sound like bro… You sound like Lil RonRon…

I can’t wait to hear what you think.

Man man man this would have a lot worse without them deductions. They sound amazing. Watch out NO

At 13:56 That’s what she said 😂😂😂😂😂

Memphis had a better band and dance group.

bra they call starlight in the stands they set gamb up for failure wasnt our fault

This shit funny in fast forward

I just feel like bc your from Memphis your going with Memphis judge then off the music not off how lit they are and the size respectfully

There really was no difference between the both…both basically trying to outscream one another…arrangements about the same…kudos to both though…

Looking at GAMB numbers they are kinda unbalanced.. hop those trombones by like 20 add more trumpets and baritones.. 😂😂 it’s like 45 bones 😂😂

I can just hear Jackson playing these arrangements🤣

...🤦.....naw....🤦 They got some MEMPHIS in them..... Plz respect 🧐

37:34 its missing notes that should have been there that would've made this better....Morris Brown copies
