@@MMH0205 Even traveling with half the band.. Alabama arrangements were garbage.. The Dolls even tore it up!! Alabama doesn't know how to sit down with grace
Looks like Christmas is coming early this year because we are going to have a Boombox Classic II at the SWAC Championship game since it appears that JSU and SU have clinched their divisions.
Looks like it's going to be Jackson State vs. SU in the champion ship. Don't forget about the SWAC battle of the bands after the SWAC Championship game. It's going to be off the chain that weekend in Houston, I think it was a great ide.a to implement a band battle among SWAC bands to attract a larger crowd. This might draw a crowd of about 30,000 or more.
Man su killed them people, su holy grail smashed theirs, nothing asu played could match beyond, su beyonce song sound much better then lately......asu, jsu and alcorn are distance behind su, now they all have volume but su separate themselves with arrangements, sound and technicality! I haven't heard a band to match su volume, arrangements, sound and technicality!
To say you had to be there is an understatement. I was at the game and the way Alabama State played was breathtaking! They took it to SU and it made me very proud. Each song was delivered with strength and conviction. I was also impressed that they played Holy Grail. When ASU played that song it was strategic and showed no fear. I love their rendition of the song. SU is an incredible band and I give credit where credit is due. Nevertheless, if you were at the game I am sure you would have gotten the same vibe that I did. GREAT JOB ASU!!!!!
Now if you know anything about music and band you know SU won this battle the first song ASU played told the story smh this coming from a UAPB alum that who cares nothing for neither but in this case SU won just that simple....
Only good song song Alabama State played that was good is Memories Back Then, that Holy Grail was straight but that Part Time Lover and Lately was terrible
at 17:00 it would have been better if it wasnt for that trumpet trinna scream..then it was thin at that..and another thing....if your band gone do that..you shouldnt tell when some one takes a breath and come back in
I wouldn't call this a battle . It's more like they're playing what they want and having fun doing so..sure if you want to critique the way they play go for it. Good job to both bands
Has ASU changed band directors since 2010 or has the talent just dropped off? I ask because the ASU of today doesn't compare to the ASU of 2010, especially the battle between them and SU.
Both bands have their people who love them so everyone will say what they want bashing the other but its clear that both bands were great during this battle. The real battle was with the stingettes and the dolls... My eyes couldn't decifer who really won but the stingettes did do better against the dolls than they did against the JSETTES... The dolls came with some new stuff though that... I want people to stop bashing either band though because they both were good...
I agree. People need to stop the bashing and just ENJOY!!! the beauty that is the diversity of HBCU bands. And I was BLESSED to be able to witness first hand the ideological competition between the Stingettes and the Dolls. Both groups are highly talented, hard working and just drop dead gorgeous and damn sexy. Life was good in Alabama that day.
SirGeekz I’ve been saying this for years! Too many skaters. How can you not know your music. And I’m not saying we didn’t have skaters at SU, you just got called out for it...at least. Their sound quality would double if they all knew the music.
I went to SU and crabbed in fall 1992 (S Phi D)...i think ASU is a much improved band....i give mad props to their t-bone section....As a whole ASU gave a better battle than JSU....ijs
I'm telling you. ASU isn't far from being that band to beat. All of their arrangements have suspect moments that take away from their overall effect. Whether it be continuity, execution, or voicing something iffy sneaks in. If not for that, they would be formidable on another level. When they are on they are on though. I'm slick routing for them with all the improvements they have made over the years.
To my Bama State fam. Notice how whenever we play SU, or even when when we play some other school, SU folks stay commenting on our clips talkn trash. SU folks come out the woodworks to talk trash when we play them, even more so than when they play j-state. Its clear when you you've made another band feel some kind of way after they battle you, lol.
SMH that you think Lately sounds bad. You're obviously 1 of 2 things.....a bama state hater, or just another southern groupie. If you were a musician or were at the game, I doubt that would've been you comment.
I've read most of you guys comments. If you know you bias and love your school too much to be objective then why even post? I didn't attend either one. ASU is in a region where there are large high school programs so they have the capability of have that big sound. However that was as good as it got with them. Messy arrangements, most sections weren't strong as a whole except lower brass, and articulating was dismal. SU has strong musicianship and arrangements however their need to over blow and distort the sound they could create is the only reason it wasn't a complete annihilation. SU won easily. ASU just too sloppy sounding. If they would have been cleaner and more articulate then this discussion would be more debatable.
ASU before you play SU this time 2015 please tune your instruments up and be ready because it seems that the band wasn't starting together and all type of wrongness, SU is not a band to sleep on or be to cocky with, cause I'm a ASU fan til I die but you need to be ready and on it, this video makes you sound terrible.
