@@313BlazeF he taught me how to read treble clef bc i didn’t really know what i was doing my freshman year is 2014 he was like my assistant bd at hunters lane high school. The greatest bd ever WILL BROOKS was like a father figure to me and him and kev changed my life i was headed down the wrong path and they talked me into dedicating my time into band practice instead of doing the wrong thing that would’ve sent me to jail or in a box. Shoutout to them 2 i love u kev and Will Brooks
In my opinion, all the bands played well, but JSU & SU are on another level from everyone else. Jsu is pumping out some volume... Likewise for SU!! They definitely placed everybody on notice!!
Yall say this every year 😂 SU and JSU are just very loud. Nothing extraordinary bout it. I like SU more because their book used to be somewhat more complex with the songs they would play but that’s a thing in the past nowadays.
@@sweetmagnolia271YOU CANT BE SERIOUS...just very loud? Laughable 😅😅. You are apparently deaf if you don't hear the difference in JSU and SU arrangements complexity ,compared to everyone else. Bethune Cookman is literally playing highschool arrangements . Just like Talladega did for years..
Coming in hot!🔥🔥14K Gold Dancers were amazing. They held their own, with precision, authenticity, and complexity in their expression of art form through dance. Their energy had me looking and wanting more, proving that one style does not fit all. I loved the control that could be heard from the band starting from the beginning to the end. The Wildcats brought the fire and the desire, can't wait to see more.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Thanks for the quality footage and good job to all the bands.
Most bands with numbers has power! I Like bands with personality! Not finger pointing at other bands across the field😒 brass horns are loud but where is the individual styles? Most artist are not copycats😣👎🏾😊
@@cj9160 REALLY!! I’m sure you know! All the Bands were powerful for their sizes and styles! Pointing fingers and stare downs ..JSU , SU battles are great, but be RESPECTFULLY👍🏼 its behavior is unhealthy at [this] day and times! have fun and enjoying making good music. Just my perspective …I love the field shows as well, they all work really hard to showcase their talents✌️ great job everyone much respect 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Salute to killa Kev this was hard work and also salute to all the young students for their hard work and dedication for the love of music and long live HBCU bands love it love it strong let’s Go 🙏🏿💪🏿💪🏿
They need to stop having this specific botb in arenas....it makes the bands sound a mess (edit) I was there in person so if you got excuses just smack ya thigh 3 times or sum Idk
@@cj9160 September 14, 2024 is approaching fast, Southern better be ready… YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED last year😂😂😂😂 Just don’t come with any excuses this time
Hats off to the members of my Boom, and all the HBCUs. All of the schools did really well. Though I'm slightly bias to the Boom due to my previous involvement, but I have to tip my hat to the Rivals, and I was really proud to see BCU switch it up. They were very clean and love the song selection. To the Human Juke Box, they brought it as usual and looking forward to another BoomBox Classic this year. Great job to all the schools. These students worked really hard and I'm super proud of them. Being a former band member and man of music I dont like to speak down on other schools. I know how hard it is to produce what all of these schools have brought to the stands. Praying for a successful year for all of these school's.
A few min in, but BCU i'm impressed. 1) Nice mix 2) I rarely ever see 14K get room like that to really dance 3) The energy is def there for the band as a whole. If yall travel to any SWAC games this year, please keep up that intensity.
Black foxes they definitely want blood this year. The dolls definitely coming show the ladies who the queens are can’t wait!!!!. JSU team is clean asf. 🔥❤️❤️
PV came out the gate cranking!! I truly enjoyed both of their stand routines. I saw somewhere in the comment section, someone said that anyone in the SWAC can catch an L at anytime. I honestly agree! Everyone sounds awesome. If every band in the SWAC truly traveled every weekend, that would create some INSANE battles! 🔥
I'AM A PROUD MOTHER MY DAUGHTER IS ON HERE AND SHE GOES TO BETHUNE-COOKMAN MY BABY IS PLAY IN BATTLE OF THE BAND IN HOUSTON TEXAS AND IM SO LOVING THIS FOR MY BABY
I felt ALL of this! I have TWO sons on The Human Jukebox and it's such a great feeling to see the fruits of their labor. Congratulations to your daughter!
The SWAC is about to be a battlefield EVERY GAME!!!. I truly feel like anybody can catch an L any week at the moment. Every band has sounded pretty good. Let one of the top 3 slack a week and rankings will definitely shift. In past you pretty much knew who would likely win battle each week. I feel there might be actual debates to be made throughout the season (That actually make sense and are proved through logic and not emotions lol) Good job everyone!
In your opinion who's your top 3 based off of last year ? Mines would be: 1.JSU 2.SU 3.Alcorn. and in a close 4th 4.Alabama State That ranking was hard for me to make. Being a former Juke and Alum. But Jackson state had a hell of a year last. year. Getting in our Azz(pause) twice.
I love us!! So glad the HBCU season is back. And YES to the Tuskegee University❤️💛 Marching Crimson Pipers holding it down for the SIAC on the field and in the stands. Ball & Parlay baby!! ❤️💛
👏🏾 Kudos to each member that made it through camp! All bands sound good to me, each band was bringing heat..some of the smaller bands sound full of power! Great musicianship. Those band directors be going hard on the ladders ahaha 😆🤦🏾♂️💪🏾
Top 3 bands from NBOTB 1. Southern 2. Jackson State 3. Tennessee State but all bands held they weight … “NO LIE” (PV, TxSU, Miles, Tuskegee & Bethune) *SOUTHERN “HUMAN JUKEBOX” WAS JUST UNTOUCHABLE !!! 💪🏾💨🔥😈
Outstanding job SBoTS (WT 04 4LYFE)! Amazing performance! I can’t for THEE BOOMbox Classic to see the clash of the two SWAC titans JSU & SU. On another note we should have a conversation about having all four power HBCU conferences (CIAA, MEAC, SIAC, & SWAC) having a BOTB. The make up of this event should somewhat mirror the virtual band Olympics that @Steven Holiday put together with also having a twist of ESPN’s band of the year competition. Through out the marching season the best four bands from each conference will be selected to battle each other. After that battle of the bands the two best bands will be selected to merge in to a conference band and represent their respective conference in the HBCU Band Olympics. The battles should be both Stands and field Show. The categories that should make up the scores are Field drill, field ballad, hype stand tune1, dance and or auxiliaries features ( both stand and field) and hype stand tune two. For a better understanding of this break down check out the 2023 Scholiday College virtual BOTB which was the orchestrator of the both virtually. The judges the I recommend for such an epic event are @STEVEN HOLIDAY, @KBTHEBANDHEAD, @THEROGERSBROS, @KINGKVO, & @WATTSARRANGEMENTS. IMO These gentlemen give great perspective and will always give an unbiased opinion!
Baby 14k!!! & Motion on that first song😮💨🙌🏽🔥 Took the whole show!👐🏽 IDK what it is about the BCU vs SU match up but 14K give the the dolls the business EVERY time lol👏🏽
I wasn't feeling Southern's slow version of "Not Like Us," so I'll pass on that. Their second tune was better. Cookman and 14K were amazing! 14K brought the HEAT! I loved Jackson State's song selection and their intensity; BBL Grizzy was hilarious! Tennessee State sounds good. Prairie View was hyped, and I really enjoyed their energy. I'm proud of Tuskegee; their band has come a long way in just a year. The girls are really good, but the flags should probably sit while the dancers are up. Miles College sounds good! Their flags should also probably sit while the dancers are up, or move to the sides like Cookman. Texas Southern sounds good as well, and their girls are really good too, lots of precision in their dancing. Overall, it was an AWESOME stands battle! Good stuff, and EXCELLENT footage, Kev! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️🇺🇸
Motion and Foxes we're definitely in tune and looked the one. Jsettes, did well but their usual energy was missing. Dolls had many placement issues. Girls doing different things on the same counts, but nonetheless great. Came to specifically see Herb and that spineless back count. I'll have to go back and watch the others.
I can say this GAMB set the bar real high for this not like us nobody didn’t really match it this year but Bama St And Alcorn so far! Now A lot of ppl is not going to like my opinion But Jackson State N Pv Was Hawling ass in them stands! Southern N Texas Southern Sounded the same but miles getting back to where they used to be along with Tuskegee! Tennessee Cranking a lil more than what they used to be with less numbers! It was solid but Jackson N Pv Was On One I hated That the Ocean Didn’t do what I expected along with Southern. The Power Is there but lack a lil energy! Jackson N Pv Was My Eye Opener In the Stands I bout to get a lot of back lash for this one!
That’s just your opinion you didn’t bash another band to make another look good so you shouldn’t be bashed for your honest opinion even if everyone don’t feel the same
@@deontetyler7469 what do you mean …I said you shouldn’t be bashed for your opinion because you didn’t put any other bands down to state your opinion…I thought I stated that as clear as possible I respected your opinion above
