I ain’t gone lie they hating in the comments this was a good battle by both bands you can tell they both been in the lab and improved since the fall and btw dega Mello’s creasing folk 😂
I’m FW with the GGs🗣️ eye catching as hell 🔥🔥🔥 Also Dega mellos is pushing can’t lie that they stand out the most and Alcorn 8:46 🔥🔥yes sir that’s No Cap Rich & Dangerous also we need Alcorn B Tones to get out that muddy sound I kinda hear it but Dega with the W unfortunately lol
If Alcorn digs deep, Alcorn is gonna take dega one of these years soon. I’ll say Alcorns arrangements are just a little more creative and colorful, they genuinely are rocking they need to work on execution of notes and intonation and they will have dega cuz they just as loud 😮💨
I think both bands are focusing on volume more than melody .. Like idk what the songs they playing! Just blowing notes and a tuba beat ! No special pcs .. 😊just cranking notes
It was really difficult judging a winner for this battle.. Dega have very strong Mello and Btone section. Their problem, well i'll say the problem with Most bands is they just don't seem to know how to maneuver and set up their bands based on their strengths and weaknesses. Why the Hell don't these bands who know they don't have a strong trumpet section, refuse to pull their trumpets forward to balance things out?? It's not a crime to do that so your band can have a more balanced sound. Instead of Putting your most powerful sections forward.. I just don't understand why this is not common sense. geez. I'f i had to place my band in the shape of a cross or lowercase "t" for the sake of balance i would do it. Why don't they place their trumpets on the 1st row across, mellos and btones on the 2nd row behind the trumpets and and trombones then tubas on the row behind them. Just an example based on the weak and strong sections of these 2 bands. But i notice most bands sacrifice balance and clarity for power. This traditional set up is perfect for older bands imo that had equally powerful sections. My point is, they shout reorganize their set up based on the specific strengths and weaknesses of their bands.
These arrangements sounding summer bandish. Collegiate programs should have arrangements that really speak to the best tessitura for each instrument. A lot of these notes are too high and leads to harsh bright sounds from both groups! Proper arrangements like JSU and, from what I heard in Mardi Gras so far, Valley would have fixed the sound of both groups
DEDUCTION BOTH BANDS one is just super loud with no melody can’t tell what song is being played (don’t get me wrong they cranking but that’s it no dynamics) and the other is unbalanced and bricking notes on every song Back to the drawing board 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
This was whack asf! Both bands just shooting notes, no kind of blend or sound quality… just pure ignorance… Aug vs Karr high school battle was 10x better than this!
Just like it was last year.Alcorn euphos doing too damn much with little musicality. And just like last year the directors ( Martin and drew we all know who it is) keep pushing for those songs🙄🙄
**ATTENTION***ATTENTION** Mississippi Valley is gonna Smoke Both Of These Bands Soon! Alcorn Out The Gate,🫤Yikes!👎 But Dega's 2nd Song, WTF?🫣👎 This was a TRASHY AZZZ WASTE OF TIME BATTLE! Neither Band Sounded like a COMPLETE UNIT PLAYING TOGETHER. AND THAT IS ALL ON THE DIRECTORS! THE BAND MEMBERS ARE EXECUTING. ITS JUST A SHAME THAT WHAT THEY'RE EXECUTING IS BS!🤬🤬🤬 Both Bands Need Better Songs, and Better Arrangements! (How i SCORE this battle) Dega=C- and AlcornSt.=D+ To Both Bands I Ask: PLEASE DON'T COME BACK TO MY CITY WITH THIS BULLSHXT NEXT YEAR!✌🏿
