My son played quads in high school. I loved being at their practices. My son passed away 2 years ago. Your video brought many good memories to mind. Keep on keeping on!

They sound real good. The only thing is that they try to look and sound so much like WT it's destroying the legacy. When someone goes to look for WT they go to Jackson State. If they were looking for TOP, they'll be hard to find because the line as a whole doesn't give off the TOP vibe. If you put the two lines side by side you'd see exactly what I'm talking about. Let's get back to the real TOP. #ORIGINALNOCOVER
As someone who has seen TOP and WT since '89...I concur. Don't get me wrong, they sound good (some cleanup needed amongst the snares and all working on togetherness with visuals). Many may not remember, but there was a time when TOP worked with tonal basses with very limited tenor play, they also had marching bells...this was apart of their legacy. Part of their evolution was many of the 90's WT went on to teach at regional high schools, having those schools adopt many of WT's traits and styles. As time went on many of these high school students worked they way into the SWAC, taking that WT style with them and it filtered into the likes of Alcorn, Lane College, and many others. This isn't a message of hate, just a statement of observational facts. Play on!
@@drummaboiferguson2144 I can't see it. If I show you something different, would you believe then?? There's plenty of video to back up what I'm saying.
@@m.martin3922 You are correct, sir. It's tough for me to see as someone who came in the era where every drumline had their own style. Alcorn's style was distinct from Jackson State and everyone else's for that matter. Loved it, hated it, or indifferent about it, there was no mistaking TOP from the other Mississippi schools.
