Kentucky State vs Alabama State BOTB 

I said at the NBOTB KSU was COMPLETELY UNDERRATED!!! That band is IMPECCABLE!!! Sound!! Clarity!! Power!! Color!!! An overall excellent presentation!!

Both bands did a great job! I didn’t know K-State had power like that. Those 8 sousaphones were blowing!

This is one of the best battles I've seen in awhile. Well matched bands, played with good musicality, and great sound selection.

My daddy went to Kentucky State University and I graduated from Alabama State University. He always talked about how much fun he had in college and had a few stories lol. Definitely was a big influence on deciding to go to college. O, and I'm a Marching Hornet 🎺🐝

KSU Sounds AMAZING! Awesome work thoroughbreds!

This my 2nd Band y'all they came too National BOTB in Htown on Aug 27 and was the Surprised Band of the Whole Battle ..I love this BAND..KENTUCKY STATE...Much Respect &Love Coming from Ya Boi...GRAMFAM4LIFE🖤💛♥️🐅

Been watching Kentucky state's band the past few years. I respect the climb. They are entering the higher levels of bands.

I love this ksu. From seeing them live in 2014 to now what a tremendous growth. Can't wait to see them and PMM go at it

Whomever arranged this understood every detail of the damn assignment. And the band executed 💯💯💯👏🏾 22:00

This is going to be the most underrated hbcu marching band botb

IT’S THE YOUNG LADY SCREAMING FOR ME lol GREAT JOB BOTH PROGRAMS!!!

Kentucky State Ya'll sound even better than last year!!!!!! Whew!!!!! Somebody let them in the SWAC with that sound!!!!! Alabama that Erykah Badu was 🔥 frfr. Ya'll both did Ya'll thang

Krettes and the Honey Beez ate down. Both bands sound good. 🔥🔥

I'm glad Lea finally played with formations and debuted some new counts. The girls were together and clean. The krettes we're pretty good too just need to pay a Lil more attention other than that they were really good.

LOVE the one piccolo player holdin it down for K-State. YOU BETTA PLAY!!!!!

Wish Alabama State would give us some new Music. But Kentucky State 🏆wins! Good stuff KSU

I wish that person screaming wasn’t at this event. Very over the top and irritating

Honey 🐝 showing out, ASU prepping for their rivals . K State has been slept on I see, I like how they play with their volume and control their power

These girls losing they minds!!! 😂

Kentucky State! What!!!!! Okay!!! I love how Alabama going against these other schools and then Honey Beezzzzzzz! Throwing Stands!!!!

For Kentucky state to only have eight sousaphones and still project a powerful sound like that shoutout to the director and whoever the section leader is over there. That ain't nothing but straight hard work and consistency throughout camp. Great job thoroughbreds

Little Band with a Big heart MMT

ASU LOOKING AND SOUNDING GOOD

That girl screaming sound like she about to pass out😂

Stings making changes to my favorite count is a no no 😩

Love my bama state 🐝 Ksu has a nice program great job bands

The hunniebees did that great work keep it up both schools great job love you guys 😇🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💜💜💜💜💜💜

I been telling people to watch out for KSU, they're the new kids on the block. I'm sure people didn't expect KSU to be dealing with ASU like that. If KSU get more members, they're gonna be a really dangerous band

Nice battle, both them sound good

I wish they would shut up in the background with all that unnecessary scream sheesh 🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️

One time for the SIAC bands ‼️

K state band director's name should be circulating for a job in the SWAC or MEAC after seeing the years of progress

Kentucky got a good pen over there

K state sounds nice and the stands was cute. I love love love the Honey Beez. Their count selection was tea and true went with the music. They moved as a group. ASU sounded amazing! I was hype in my living room.

That let's break bread together arrangement sounds familiar 👀🐍

I enjoyed both bands 👍🏾

ASU sounds great

I'm sure with ASU coming back from LA and then traveling to Ohio can be a lot, not to mention school first and foremost. Lol

the way y’all switching up on Lea lmaooo y’all some clowns

Kstate with the win

K State has always been slept on. Glad they are getting some shine. I see you KRettes 🔥🔥🔥

Kentucky State, my my my! You guys are solid!!! PMM is in trouble!

How is Kstate just as powerful as a band twice their size 😳🔥

Man ksu let you know numbers don’t matter 💯 sound amazing

This is a good battle 4real!

KSTATE TOOK THAT ONE. THEY HAD HALF THE NUMBERS ASU HAD AND THEY SOUNDED ALMOST JUST AS POWERFUL AND CLEAN AS EVER. KSTATE HANDS DOWN. AND THOSE ARRANGEMENTS ARE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

k state tubas was EATING them Cs on tear da club up 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️ the two tubas in the front from bama couldn’t believe what they heard lol 😂 all in all bama had the better balance, fullness and played more musical selections I give them the dub but not by much (k-state was on one this day lol)

Why all the screaming though 🙄

OKAY STATE

Good job Bama State!!!

So what is ASU gone play vs Txsu & Jsu? & I’m sure if they do have new songs for Txsu then those same songs gone be played against Jsu to 🤦🏽‍♂️ they should atleast have 3 new ones for each of them cause they are ASU’s most important battles this year

KSU sounds really good 👍

I'm a Boom Fan but k-state lord.....

Don't get me wrong.. I am sure they are working hard and they look good, but it is giving me a repeat of Yaz's year.. A bomb captain, but the team just aint teaming!

The Honey Beez working it, they look good.

That tuba player at 28:00 😂

I watched the 🍯 🐝 dance the whole battle 😂 they where more interesting

Ksu has to the funkiest marching band.

Dis my HBCU ! 💚💛💚💛

Love’s Train nasty as well 💯💯😮‍💨😮‍💨👌🏾

The KRettes are like if the GGs and J-Settes had a secret love child. I see some counts that look a little familiar and remind me of both squads. They did really good though. Always entertaining to watch whenever I do see them

I am dizzy!

THEM HONEYBEEZ DIDN'T COME TO PLAY AND WAS THE HIGHLIGHT FOR ME ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

I understand that people are going to cheer the underdog on and that’s great…. But be fair this was a W for ASU….. KSU finally got a chance to go up against a SWAC “BIG DAWG” and they did well….

KSU is the adult version of hunters lanes and I mean that in a VERY GOOD WAY. Side note isn't that hunters lane band director in the front. But very very nice battle.. I KSU with the dub over ASU. Song selection played a big part

This was a great battle. Both bands did an amazing job and I must pay every bit of respect to Director Oliver for his impact at Central State on the KSU band director. Oliver has influenced many and they paid homage to him this weekend. Bama State keep those honeybees up front!

Yess honey bzz 🐝 tap in 😮‍💨

It's KSU for me. For them to b the smallest band their sound is undeniable.. battling a band almost twice their size.. KSU for the win. 💚💛💚

The state gurllllssssssss took my wig an the honey beez ate enjoyed both bands

That person screaming 😂

Stings didn't Sting me 😔 Honestly the banner girls ,krettes and honey did more for me. Bandbwise I already knew what it was going to be. Enjoyed both bands as I knew I would

FAMU break bread was nice.

Leah already has it!! But once she REALLY HAS IT🔥….y’all are gonna regret some of these comments

What is the song KSU playing at the 1:00 minute mark?

What’s the name of the first song ksu played?

KSU with the Dub

The Honey Beez!!!! 🐝 couldn’t keep my eyes off ‘em 😍🔥

What the name of the song at 11:22

what’s the name of the 1st song K state played?

Man listen, them honeybees don't be playing. I couldn't keep my eyes off them. Them girls bad!! In my opinion, they outshined the Stingettes today.

Man they both killed it 💪🎵🎶🎵💪💪

Asu finna play them same song all year

Whats the name of the first song

Why when it’s the Stingettes turn the camera man get shaky😒 Why they change that first 16 Lea threw😮? & I love Lea DOWN but she has to stop doing 16s twice row by row

Krettes look great and KSU is a force to be reckoned with the stingettes…. Well they where there asu could’ve been better for their size but they still sounded good overall the honeybeez look great I’ll give it to both KSU and Krettes I love it

KSTATE WON

Size don’t mean nothing. Because sometimes half the people in the band don’t even blow like they should. Next time put them against SU. I wanna see that lol 😂

Anyone saying KSate won this has foolish pride 🤣. I agree they sound good, but ASU is on another level.

Alabama State sounds TF GOOD. Krettes ate the Stingettes though. Stingettes not giving what they’re supposed to give this season. I’m so tired of Lea with these same counts. It’s giving tired…non-creative...boring. Get it together sis, and quick. HoneyBeez ate tf down.

Honey beez doing stands 🥹🥹🥹 love to see it 💖

Honeybeez ate all that 💯

What’s that first song they played..?

S/0 to my Alma Mater #KState #MMT #SoulSection1 #ZPhiZ #MMT

Kentucky with the dub

ASU is probably twice KSU size . Ksu is more aggressive than ASU their players all the way down to their arrangements. ASU isn’t bad but really got exposed their not a top 4 swac this year… ksu wouldn’t have ate down on southern ,jackson ,alcorn , or txsu like this. The only woah factor about asu is their honeybees and stingettes

The folks saying K-State won this battle...I have to wonder about your state of mind. Didn't Cha Know and Love's Train was more than enough for me to give ASU the W Pen game wise AND sound wise. K-State does sound nice for their size and they are a great program but some of yall need to stop capping with the whole "this band is half their size so I am going to give them a W off of that alone mess". First off, this IS in a gym as some of you stated and you KNOW the sound would be way different outside in the stands. (Go watch the outside videos of this BOTB and see what I am talking about.) Second off, if I am ASU and I know that I am about to get into our REAL SWAC schedule within the next week to face the JSU's, SOUTHER's, and SWAC schools I wouldnt whip out nothing new for this BOTB either. Makes no sense and I have to wonder if some of yall where ever in a HBCU band

The Honey Beez were working it, but the Stingettes lacked energy and I hate to say this, they weren't looking as good as the KS dancers.

Kentucky State whooped Bama State ass

Actually, I prefer K State. For them to be smaller than Bama State. No way Bama State sounds like that compared to its predecessor. It Is an embarrassment. Anyone that says otherwise needs to get their ears checked. Just taking up space for no reason.

Jsu need to bring out one time again , ksu arrangement wasn’t bad tho.
