Southern University vs. South Carolina State 2017 | SWAC/MEAC Pep Rally FULL BATTLE 

Despite SCSU's financial problems it's good to the band program is still alive and the kids still have the passion. Hopefully in a few years the program will get back to where it once was a few years back .

As a former SCSU Marching 101 Drum Major all I have to say is FREEDOM BOWL 1991..... Bobbie Dodd Stadium, Atlanta, GA If you don't know ask your SU alumni.

I'm Southern all day, and I must admit that I truly enjoyed what SCSU brought to the table here! They didn't back down at all! They proved they came to play, and entertain the crowd! SCSU band not one of the boring #MEAC bands that play those silly little marches at a freaking BOTB's! Save that shit for concert season! SCSU entertained SU, and that's what it's all about! Enjoying the bands while they're entertaining during football season! Great job SU and SCSU!

One Time for MEAC!!

Why are so many people obsessed over numbers. SU is large. Why do people think they look small? SCSU is smaller, but still have the numbers to put out a quality product. Numbers shouldn't be as big of a deal as people are making it out to be.

In no means am I a fan of the 101 but I do know they've always had confidence. They've always been aggressive and not afraid to battle, even if the sound isn't quite right. This just isn't a good year for scsu as far as numbers are concerned. Good job to them for bringing what they got to the table tho and SU as well.

With a larger SCSU band, it would have been a different battle. SCSU didn't sound bad, they are just smaller than we are used seeing them due to past financial issues at our school. Their songs from the past don't sound as full as when they were a much larger band, but the fact that they came shows they are no punks and not afraid of a battle. It was good to hear the female announcer display some class in her commentary at the end because Haymer was being extra the entire time. Though SU is my 2nd favorite SWAC band, he can be very colorful at times, but I've come to expect this from him just based on his battles with the other Swac bands. It's great to have passion when battling and maybe that's how things go in the SWAC but know that when one HBCU hurts whether by finances or some other force like what currently occupies the office of the presidency in this country, they all hurt.

Nice 👍. SU always knows how to bring the heat. Don't ever try to boss up in their turf. 👊🏼👊🏼😂. But I also love how South Carolina was not 'bout to get punked👏👏👍👍. God bless their band and dancers. They did an amazing job. Overall it was nice the dam SEASON is finally here. Yassss!!!!!

I like both really don't matter who win

To be honest I thought SCSU held its own based on its numbers. Lets be clear SCSU is definitely no punk. Heck for a 85 block they sound pretty darn good. They are going through a tough time financially as a school. Trust and believe its not only SCSU but Southern was in the same situation struggling when it came to resources. The only difference is SCSU cut most band scholarships and Southern didn't point blank. Those kids will be fine...just give them a few years. If only this could have happened in 2010.

101 Bulldog for life!

This is a really REALLY odd match up... Edit: You know...say what you will...but Scsu came to play and they sound nice.

Let’s give SCSU they credit…they stuck with it👍🏾

Scsu 2009 - 2011 would have killed this version of Southern honestly

lol at Haymer saying he was trying to save em.... Carolina clap. 😂 This ain't the Meac...Great way to get the holiday started. This indeed brought me joy. lol

This match up came 3 years too late! SCSU is not the band it use to be.

SCSU Actually gave me life. I think they gained a fan.

Am I the only person who went str8 to SU?!

I thought SCSU sounded good!! Big ups to you guys!! #SU #FALL #2004 #SPHID #SMOOVE_CRMNL

I don't think that's the whole Southern Band. I could be wrong, Even though I am team SU, SCSU Band did a good job. I like their arrangements as well.

A forever fan of SU, but SCSU came with the moves.

I like SCSU. #1 They have HEART. #2 They sound good for their SIZE. Reminds me of TXSU. Do I think they won this battle? HELL NO, but they showed up. Great job both BANDS.

SU was old school wit it extra hard

That fact I wanna go to su and I live here in SC this is inspiring BTW GO TROMBONES AND BARIS

Southern band director at the end on the mic on the last round is doing a little too much.

Yasssss SCSU come thru 🐶🔴🔵

Despite the size and decibel difference, SC actually jammed, but still SU BODYBAGGED as usual, Lol SC should've faced outward instead of symphonic formation

Su been popping but they Drumline got nothing scsu Drumline 💯🥁

I like AAMU version of Redbone. But it's straight for Southern

2nd. SU eatin 🔥🔥🔥🔥💪💪

i love the HUMAN Jukebox, but let me just say the 101 aint gon back down from no battle. so, juke i hear ya talking but baby the east coast always reign supreme. #MEAC. #DontWantNoSmoke #Marching101 #EastCoastFinest.

Champagne was eating!!

SCSU has faced financial difficulties and had cuts to their band program. However, they are holding their own. Remember, all it takes is for Southern to face financial difficulties, and their band will be in the same predicament as the Marching 101, with cuts to their band program. Remember, SCSU may be struggling today, but it may be Southern struggling tomorrow.

SCSU vs. Norfolk will be intense...

We was cranking today! Go SCSU.

I refuse to believe this is all of the Juke. They pull stunts all the time. They probably taking it easy on 101 in this event

SCSU 101!!!

That “Nolia Clap” was nice tho🔥

Announcer said we tried to save them....they didn't wanna leave...now we got to open the book 😂😂😂😂I was weak bruh That's overkill now

Are there any woodwinds playing?

Go SC State Bulldogs!

First UAPB bust a hole in SCSU now SU just made the hole GIGANTIC. Another one for the SWAC

Yes Southern!!

Shout out to SC State University!

I love it and I am for SU but the Baritones are overblowing the rest of the upper and lower brass. Take it down a notch and blend. Keep it even. I should be hearing more of the Higher brass then the med range. I can see if it was a solo for the Baritones but they are hauling it. Plus I am seeing new songs being added Love it. Keep it coming. Play these songs all season then you got a really good band. Can't wait to see the Battle against TC and Alcorn at Crank Fest! Keep it up Jukebox just don't over Blow each section. Listen in to each other and keep it a the same volume.

No competition... SU hands down..

To me Southern doesn't sound beast mode except the trumpets it's like they are holding back they're not the southern of old. The swac is open this year JSU TSU Pvam Southern and Alcorn open for number 1

On a different note, all the disrespect that SU's director threw at the 101 on the mic, Bongo Bros should've called out SU's weak ass percussion section and put on a battle they damn sure wouldn't be ready for. I don't mind trash talk but two can play that game if you want to call out weaknesses. Carry on

Is that southern full band? Look like the freshman band but they sound good though 🤙🏽

SCSU say Mr.Haymer was disrespectful to them but he was trynah welcome them in an they played over him talking so YOU get what you deserve good luck in the stands tho 😎🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

Wait this was a battle? Shit i thought SU was just bringing new stuff for the fun of it😂

Why don't you go home SU!! I want ya'll to take on Cookman!!

38:31 I wasn't paying attention to everything the announcer was saying but he was spittin straight fiya at this point😂🔥

I heard a little bit of "Teddys Jam" in southerns "Redbone" 🌚🌚🌚🌚

SU!!!!

I don't watch many SCSU clips but what happened to them?! 😕😦 lol

come thru 101

Why didn't the MEAC send NC A&T so SU could eat their best band for lunch!!!

I don't care what nobody say SCSU held their own!! Gave those people a show, The dance moves the music! SU just stood there playing... Nothing wrong with just standing and playing they sounded good as well but I think SCSU took this one

what was the first song they played?

Porque a filmagem desfocou.

So can PV get a battle like this???

Was they Serious this was a Joke Practice for the upcoming so called competition can't know bring it like we do SU Human Jukebox...

SCSU better than what they was what yall mean they aint good????

Did SU leave out part of the band to make it fair for SC? Because I don't think this is the whole band.

What their new theme song called su

Was that scsu's entire band?

Southern need to face NSU

That was a good battle

What happened to scsu full band

Lmao better hold them Euphos up lol taking a break after ever phrase. (SU)

This was basically over after Southern played "Redbone"

Call it the Homecoming Pep Rally

Jukebox could have showed some Louisiana hospitality and just sent Landry Walker or Scotlandville to make it fair.

SCSU use to be one of the bigger bands in the MEAC....What happened??

Also, SU trumpets need to be tested for PEDs.

SU baritones calm Tf down, y'all blaring over the rest of the band

Who set this bullshit up??? Schools needed money I suppose

Mean/Swac Challenge. They brought a Knife to a Gun fight. Shame Shame. I would have declined the battle but promotion has to get paid ya dig. And let's be honest Su got Music. They always have Music books like a Stripper always have P......!

I can't stand the emotionless sterility of MEAC Bands - boring as hell - BUT, BUT this little band of SCSU had life, passion, and a groove. @40:00 they dug down deep (or stole some SWAC band's arrangements ) and got busy trying to crush the Human Jukebox. We got some good R&B & some Rap. I enjoyed the heck out of it. Can we trade FAMU for them? Early in the battle, they played NECK back at SU & then they played HAY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BARN. It was kinda cute. THEY MADE THEM SOUND "RATED G FOR GENERAL AUDIENCES". I prefer those two songs to be "Rated R for Adults".

S.U.G.O.A.T Will Offer No Quarters This Year...TNST and BCC You Have Been Called Out!!!

SU all the way baby can't wait until Crankfest!!!

Like bringing a gun to a nuke fight 😂

I hope thts not all of the 101 fr fr

What is the song at 13:04

whelp...tnst would handle su easily...scsu is small but don't sound bad at all. su was loud

B tones bringing the funk this year but honestly something about su seems a little off these days. If you watch clips of the late 90s-08' the power was incredible regardless of the numbers. They seemed to be more aggressive. It's still early in the season but I hope su can regain that power they were once known for.

Never seen SCSU band that small before.

SCSU band gotten smaller hasn't it?

While yall talking about the bands SCSU football team is getting worked lol

Scsu sounded good tho

I love the jukebox as much as I love the 101 til the day I die but scsu is small and bring it. redbone omg was great the tubas was hitting them lows til that one tuba player fucked it up!! what the hell is up with this Sean Paul-Get Busy, this mess sounds happy as hell not good but good try though, sound like the tubas started gassing out!! ok now the tubas is suppose to carry the tune for Wild Thoughts that's a song to be played in the pocket so the base line can ride. carlos Santana should roll a grenade into that tuba section and ride the bas line himself. but they shine when its just them. 33:00 in omg gawd them Thunder Brothers sitting with just 13 tubas we bring that funk from da ZUH!!!!! SU sitting on 20 whats wrong with this!! Now I like this Spirit Song that SU have it rides its happy and it fit good job SU!!! PASS DA PEAS- PASS DA PEAS. now SCSU went on a LA song streak lol nicely done. now SU last song I love it, it rides!! overall great performance from both school!! they are evenly matched for the MEAC/SWAC!! but I love my school proud of my family the Marching 101 and especially a huge S/O to THUNDER BROTHER INC....WE BRING THAT FUNK FROM DA ZUH!!! G-DOUBLE-O-D!!! TBEEEE!!!!!!!-IIIIIIIIIII!!!!!

Seems SCSU Champagne Dancers have some Golden Delight counts😮

It seem like it all rookies in southern now😔

Team Jags Fuck the Rest 💙💛💙

This was done when su pulled out the Sean Paul.

Fuckin SU the GOAT! santa blew it away.

Hey Haymer, SHUT UP while SCSU is playing!! Oh by the way, SCSU had a better balance.

SU bariones too loud!!

Flag girls need to practice a little more together as a group
