All I have to say is thanks to all of you who made this happen. Thoroughly enjoyed it. The marching bands MAKE Mardi Gras!! Two superb bands with superb performances. LOVE it!!
2019 still look at battle. Was Awesome. Su arrangements are the truth. TC played to crowd and had nuts to stand up to Su. The winner is the City of New Orleans. Wannnnnnnn!!!
The fact that Talladega has become so great In such a short time speaks volumes. To even be able to hang with southern is a testament to the possibilities
The more I watch this battle I see that SU fans have a hard time seeing another band going hard at SU so they can't give props to the other band! This was a classic battle no matter who you thought won!
Eli Jo43 coming from a southern fan I thought TC did really well there were some rounds where I even said damn TC y’all killing it and some rounds were SU wasn’t bringing it hell it was a close win of you ask me
This will be ONE OF THE GREATEST VIDEOS/BATTLES OF ALL TIME AND PEOPLE WILL CONTINUE TO REWATCH AND COMMENT ON THIS BATTLE JUST BECAUSE OF THE BANDS, THE SETTING, THE CHOICE Of MUSIC, THE PEOPLE , THE CAMERA MAN, & THE ATMOSPHERE OF THE CITY OF NEW ORLEANS
they was going toe to toe with Southern, but every year after Southern was beating them worse and worse. 2020 battle Dega took a Capital L with a crown on top
MAN THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL..........LMAO YOU PEOPLE JUST DONT KNOW HOW HARD TALLADEGA HAS WORKED TO GET TO THIS LEVEL IN SUCH A SHORT TIME. GOING TOE TO TOE WITH SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY WITHIN 2 YEARS?! LISTEN!!!!!!!!! ITS A BAND MIRACLE! AND ITS AWESOME! PEOPLE ARE EXCITED ABOUT BAND AGAIN!
Its not a miracle playboy...that's work and dedication.... you said it already....mfs aren't seeing that this is the newest addition to the band world and they are taking on titans....that is heart... also, its always good to have an event like this with this many people and not be looked upon in a negative persona. That's a beautiful thing. Much respect to everyone who attended and these to organizations.
Ok I was there live one of the best bands moments ever. TC was the crowd pleaser, very loud, B-tones were eating but its a difference between being loud and having power, balance, & blend. What ppl dont realize is that you can be louder than Southern but the way they shit is written YOU WONT WIN!!! Thats what JSU tried to do "OUT BLOW SU"....SOUTHERN have best arrangements in the history of HBCU thats why they been dominating the SWAC FOR SO LONG.... VERY GREAT BATTLE THO MUST RESPECT TO TC ONLY TWO YEARS BUT YOU HAVE TO FIND YOUR OWN IDENTITY..... SU TOOK THE W!!!
Mane I was in 9th grade when this happened, still one the best battles I’ve seen b/c ion care Whatchu say dega was wit smoke on they li debut. SU for the win but dega was throwing haymakers the entire battle n connecting. Crazy how this helped change the band landscape forever.
This battle was EPIC! I have to say that SU took this one hands down. SU had better intonation and better arrangements. But TC held up though, they showed they wasn't no punks...
I have only seen TC a few times, and SU a ton over the years. I have to say that TC definitely held their own, and then some in this head to head with SU. For the tradition that SU brings to the fight, I have to tip my hat to TC in this one. I was really impressed with the product from TC, great job. The overall blend of TC was done well.
TD's arrangements made for the notes to be played louder. Its not very difficult to play the songs loud when you playing the same two or three notes over and over again as loud as you can. Great battle never the less.
Joe I'm going to have to agree with you 100% modern-day rap have no musical construction whatsoever therefore in my opinion it kind of makes some of the 5th quarters boring because all of the rap today is so repetitive.
I know this is an old comment, but I agree. The rap of the early 2000's was still serviceable with the offerings from "Outkast" and the like being especially conducive to full band arrangements. A lot of The current stuff is almost anti-melodic in structure making it almost impossible to identify when played by the band, usually necessitating extensive use of vocals to help clue the audience into what they are listening to. That being said I anticipate a Renaissance of sorts within the next decade that will reintroduce melodic elements (look at "uptown funk" as a Pop oriented precursor).
I just wanted to say that this was a GREAT battle! For anyone just to go toe to with SU with song selection is a task in itself. I have been a SU fan for years, this isn't the best SU but the are very good, and Talladega hung in there with the volume, range, all that! On a I think I would have to give the battle to SU overall. BUT.........Don't get it twisted, Talladega came up over night and to be in the ring with SU is a victory
Southern lunches a guided missile at Talladega and they respond with M-16. If you don't hear the difference in musicianship and difficulty in arrangements then you want be able to judge.
I might be young,but I don't argue over whose band is better!Im not into all that kind of stuff=Too Mature,lol!Saying both bands did good sounds better!
Nice battle but Southern won this battle and still reign as the Kings. TC good but they definitely need to work on their intonation issues. TC started out strong but they ran out of good songs after about 20 minutes. They started to play George Michael, Billy Ocean, etc. Also they write all their arrangements on that SU style and sound and that's why they get, it sound like SU all the time. I give TC props for trying to dethrone the reigning kings but they lost this battle. They still have a long way to go and it's not to late for them to work on their own style. They will never beat Southern at their own style. Good battle though. Thanks Garrett for your continued effort to bring us good videos of our bands. Appreciate you alot man.
TC was able to hold they own. To say nobody really heard of this college before & didnt even know they had a band. They came for SU neck and was able to stand the winds and the rain.
The problem with most SU faithful is that they simply refuse to believe that another band can rival them. In all fairness to them though, it very seldom happens,..including this battle. I've never heard of TC and even though they stood there ground I would hardly award them the win here. I'm by no means a Jukebox fan but will give credit where it's due. Also, it's easy be a loud, strong band. If they want to be considered on the same level as SU lets see them on the field to see what kind of halftime performance they can muster.
marching17d3 man look band is about music to out blow somebody u need better arrangements than them. high school loud sound vs not just loud southern whole band almost plays off scale an they do it while pumping top arrangements talladaga loud but how should a 300 plus sound an how deep was southern ??? An I rest my case
I Glad they used all those tubas in I Got 5 on it! Both bands did Great I was glad when I could figure out what each band was playing. I'm very keen on music but a few had me wondering on both sides. But I still enjoyed every bit!
SU fan here TC cranked Happy, don't sleep on TC, cuz with only 2 years under their belt to be able to last 4 songs against Southern was impressive. Watch them at 10 years. Talk about a killer.
Dang I think I'd actually have to give the W to Dega. Su was definitely winning in the beginning but towards the end you could hear the fatigue in Su's playing definitely on holy grail. And side note it's nice to see all those song selection ppl that love to judge bands on song selection are absent from the comments when Su played idgaf and neck in this battle lol
And the ppl saying Su had more musicality or whatever lol no it's not a big enough difference for it to matter at least in this video they practically sound the same Dega sounds a little worse
Clearly TC is bigger which mean they should of been killing SU. However, they didn't kill SU. I will say they held their own. One way to settle this is to send them to the honda classic this year then see who is really holding it down!!!!!
Well opinions are like buttholes, we all have them. So, as I said way in August send them both to the honda classic! They both will be in attendance so we shall see who wins...
Really SU is and always be the king of blasting and playing loud, it was a stalemate because SU plays the same old songs every year but a band that has only been in existance for 2 years came and went the distance in my opinion. I always liked SU and what they do but give props to TC who is deffinately gunning for the crown!!!!!!!
Volumes doesn't win battles.. If that was the case.. Asu would have been ranked number two under The ohio state in the nation.. Come on people.. This is college.. Arrangements and execution should be college level arrangements.. That is all.. SU All day..
I agree with mahthias214. Miguel has done wonders with Talladega. However, he is a Southern alum and it shows with his band. Just like trying to bring the Kennedy style to Reed. Talladega seems to want to imitate the U. Once they develop their own style they will really be a force. Im a Southern fan but I can appreciate other bands like Norfolk State. They are original and deadly because of it. Remember you cant outmuscle Southern. They are the original headbussas.
These people battled for damn near an hour..At least 8 to 10 songs a piece..Reminds me of an old fashion pre-katrina street battle..Only in New Orleans! CLASSIC!!!
Nah bruh!!!! It's gotta be the day su took a L with all the size and home field advantages.....TXSU V SU 06....YESS LAWD!!! FYYYYYYYYAAAAHHH BAAAAABBBBAAAY.
The difference maker in this battle are dynamics, arrangements, & clarity. Though TC sounds good, SU brings the total package. SU wins this one TKO style!
Lmao bruh I thought I was the only one they started screaming as a section in 2016 tho thank god😂😂😂😂 before them lil peeps used to have folks shook like they was so cold😂
I would fly my wife and son from Florida just to see how intense a battle can get at TG. But I'm an old head and really enjoyed those battles at Pan Am as a kid. Or have it at Behrman stadium. and set it up like the Reed Carver battle in 2002.
TIE!!! SU's sloppiness balanced out TC's arrangements!!! Power wise, they both were bringing heat, but TC just wouldn't let up especially those btones...they did what they came to do and that's go round for round with one of the swac's best!!! SU slept on em but TC woke em back up! They(TC) will be a force to be reckoned with as time goes on! My opinion!
This was an awesome battle. And I must say there was no slaughtering on either side but su did give out a little towards the end. Before you idiots start bashing me I'll say first and foremost yes I was there yes I do have a degree in music ed and yes I played in a college matching band also btone and tuba (vsu). However I have to say over the years su has always been one of my favorite bands in the country and I thought they were in beatable. I think it's impossible to get louder than su but damn these cats came as close as one could get. Secondly musically there has always been a weakness that no one points out on su. Let them play a doing that doesn't require max power then they'll be exposed big time. Tc on the other hand to say this was a band that's in there second year omfg I hate to see them a few years from now if there program continues to flourish. And since I've moved to this part of the country Nola I make it my business to see su jus and asu every year. I now have to add Tc because of there madi gras performance. And for you Jsu haters the past 3 years Jsu has Molly wapped su. Su was the louder band each year but musically Jsu has been smacking them consistently. Best Sectional battles goes to the btones. Both bands btones were blowing however su was out done by a hair. Tubas Tc got that one too. I've never been a fan of su tubas but they do sound a little better after getting rid of the plastic noise makers. Bones very hard to say but both sounded awesome. And trumpets both were light due to over powered low brass sections. And to the idiot who said Tc trumpets were wack. Get some common sense. If you have 20 btones you're gonna need at least 40-50+ trumpets to be heard when the entire band is playing its loudest. In idiot terms look at a trumpets bell size and tubing compared to any other brass instrument To the whole note and half note comment most bands in the swac play a majority of whole notes and half notes to create a power block and chord. But anyway best battle I've seen since 01. Good job su and Tc keep up the good work.
@@ptownslim tc transformed but so did su lmao tc behind the U but tc got a entire staff of TALLADEGA MUSIC GRADS bruh this season finna be make it or break it time for em hope we see some crazy shit
Whoever thinks Talladega won this Battle is delusional ! SU has better arrangements, executes , delivers . Dega just seem to throw random notes 🎶 in just anywhere that aren’t akin to the actual song
Ok tell me this why is SU Trumpets constantly Tensing up when they get to the high notes. Problem i am seeing is that they are blowing but they really pushing too much through causing the sound to be tight and not balance. Same goes with TC.
At times both band sounded like S.U. I'm flattered that there are bands out there that imitate the great! And guess what TC?!? If y'all getting w the S like that, ain't nobody else fonkin wit ya!! I guarantee that!!! Both bands did good... W goes to the Jags!
I'm just going to excuse some of these comments on here that even suggested that TC blew out SU. True Band heads and people who ever marched in a college band knows it's not only by loudness which TC sounded horrible and sloppy and who gives almost all there Melody of their songs to Baritones? It's all about Balance and Southern have that. Mardi Gras is during spring semester and for college band that mean it's concert season so for most band it's not going to be a full band like Marching season.
some of you may be able to argue the first 20 min of the video, but after that point, any musician or bandhead should know that talladega could no longer hang with the jukes sound wise and never could touch their arrangements. tc got weaker as i noticed SU get stronger. To thine own self be true
Exactly, I knew I wasn't the only 1 who noticed. TC burned out after 20 with no more good songs to play. Their volume decreased and they started to play tunes by, Billy Ocean, George Michael, etc. The only good song they play to me is," Happy." They lack technical capabilities as witnessed here on this video. Just another SU wannabe.
SU got so sloppy at Holy Grail it wasnt even funny. The trumpets were gassed out completely. The ending on every song after that was absolutely terrible. TC took the win.
Southern is in concert season in the spring. This was literally half of their band. They only had 8 baritones at this performance so of course Talladega was louder, and that also explained why Southern tired out at the end.. Not making excuses just calling a spade a spade.. Southern arrangement's were still better and Beyond won this battle alone to me.. How do you respond to Beyond with Thuggish Ruggish Bone?? Smh.. But anyway If Talladega was to ever run across Southern at full strength then it's curtains for them man. This battle is gonna happen again next month. Just wait on it.. If you think Southern is gonna get caught slipping again you got another thing coming.
+WHS_TUBA_BOY Shut ya dumbass up!! Your band probably has 10 people in it. You don't even know how hard it is to fill in the sound of possibly a 100 people. Go gtf
All I have to say is thanks to all of you who made this happen. Thoroughly enjoyed it. The marching bands MAKE Mardi Gras!! Two superb bands with superb performances. LOVE it!!
Let's all agree and say that SU's band director is a super hero!
talledega loud but southern plays way more advanced in the arrangements of the songs ..
2019 still look at battle. Was Awesome. Su arrangements are the truth. TC played to crowd and had nuts to stand up to Su. The winner is the City of New Orleans. Wannnnnnnn!!!
I had no idea about Talledega College but we need to make sure we invite them to a few SWAC battle of the bands. Them boys can hold their weight!!
TU definitely brought it. Never heard them before but they held their own
yo southern's 2ND song was fire 🔥🔥 them b-tones and trumpets omfg

Hip Hop is killing marching bands. There is nothing to arrange anymore. Modern music lacks song structure conducive to marching bands.

Beyond by punk
Bring this Battle to Tad Gormely with a 30$ head charge at the gate and 20 in advanced
I would GLADLY come to this
I would fly my wife and son from Florida just to see how intense a battle can get at TG. But I'm an old head and really enjoyed those battles at Pan Am as a kid. Or have it at Behrman stadium. and set it up like the Reed Carver battle in 2002.
A HUGH money maker for both schools.
I Agree.. I'd Pay $50 to see this in a Stadium
***** agreed
TIE!!! SU's sloppiness balanced out TC's arrangements!!! Power wise, they both were bringing heat, but TC just wouldn't let up especially those btones...they did what they came to do and that's go round for round with one of the swac's best!!! SU slept on em but TC woke em back up! They(TC) will be a force to be reckoned with as time goes on! My opinion!
I thought I was the only one who felt this way.
BlackFlame0325 Please remember this wasnt the entire jukebox.......
BRING THAT MUSTA'D!!! I love the energy lol!!! SU for the win
This was an awesome battle. And I must say there was no slaughtering on either side but su did give out a little towards the end. Before you idiots start bashing me I'll say first and foremost yes I was there yes I do have a degree in music ed and yes I played in a college matching band also btone and tuba (vsu). However I have to say over the years su has always been one of my favorite bands in the country and I thought they were in beatable. I think it's impossible to get louder than su but damn these cats came as close as one could get. Secondly musically there has always been a weakness that no one points out on su. Let them play a doing that doesn't require max power then they'll be exposed big time. Tc on the other hand to say this was a band that's in there second year omfg I hate to see them a few years from now if there program continues to flourish. And since I've moved to this part of the country Nola I make it my business to see su jus and asu every year. I now have to add Tc because of there madi gras performance. And for you Jsu haters the past 3 years Jsu has Molly wapped su. Su was the louder band each year but musically Jsu has been smacking them consistently. Best Sectional battles goes to the btones. Both bands btones were blowing however su was out done by a hair. Tubas Tc got that one too. I've never been a fan of su tubas but they do sound a little better after getting rid of the plastic noise makers. Bones very hard to say but both sounded awesome. And trumpets both were light due to over powered low brass sections. And to the idiot who said Tc trumpets were wack. Get some common sense. If you have 20 btones you're gonna need at least 40-50+ trumpets to be heard when the entire band is playing its loudest. In idiot terms look at a trumpets bell size and tubing compared to any other brass instrument To the whole note and half note comment most bands in the swac play a majority of whole notes and half notes to create a power block and chord. But anyway best battle I've seen since 01. Good job su and Tc keep up the good work.
stareke320 3 years later (2017) tcu ?
@@ptownslim tc transformed but so did su lmao tc behind the U but tc got a entire staff of TALLADEGA MUSIC GRADS bruh this season finna be make it or break it time for em hope we see some crazy shit
Whoever thinks Talladega won this Battle is delusional ! SU has better arrangements, executes , delivers . Dega just seem to throw random notes 🎶 in just anywhere that aren’t akin to the actual song
Southern Won No Doubt.. My dad and I went to Southern... We Love You Blue and Gold..!!!!!
Southern has a strong sound very developed & they make use of their tubas & heart beat of the band ( drums) Heavy Bass and trumpets.. I love it....
Ok tell me this why is SU Trumpets constantly Tensing up when they get to the high notes. Problem i am seeing is that they are blowing but they really pushing too much through causing the sound to be tight and not balance. Same goes with TC.
What I want to see is these two bands go
at it again in the fall, let's see if TC can withstand the full ensemble
G
G
I was there in person, SU has the sound.
Stink meaner in the crowd. He going off... Lol
"Y'all wone transfer"
At times both band sounded like S.U. I'm flattered that there are bands out there that imitate the great!
And guess what TC?!? If y'all getting w the S like that, ain't nobody else fonkin wit ya!! I guarantee that!!!
Both bands did good...
W goes to the Jags!
Can any one possibly write the playlist by order of band?
Where did this band come from..... they're holding their own.
It's 2020 & this one still the 🐐
I'm just going to excuse some of these comments on here that even suggested that TC blew out SU. True Band heads and people who ever marched in a college band knows it's not only by loudness which TC sounded horrible and sloppy and who gives almost all there Melody of their songs to Baritones? It's all about Balance and Southern have that. Mardi Gras is during spring semester and for college band that mean it's concert season so for most band it's not going to be a full band like Marching season.
Two years old???? Man, they NEED to be at 2015 H.B.O.T.B.
some of you may be able to argue the first 20 min of the video, but after that point, any musician or bandhead should know that talladega could no longer hang with the jukes sound wise and never could touch their arrangements. tc got weaker as i noticed SU get stronger. To thine own self be true
Exactly, I knew I wasn't the only 1 who noticed. TC burned out after 20 with no more good songs to play. Their volume decreased and they started to play tunes by, Billy Ocean, George Michael, etc. The only good song they play to me is," Happy." They lack technical capabilities as witnessed here on this video. Just another SU wannabe.
SU got so sloppy at Holy Grail it wasnt even funny. The trumpets were gassed out completely. The ending on every song after that was absolutely terrible. TC took the win.
True! They had endurance problems especially in mid/upper brass & trombones/baritones. Tubas held up pretty well.
Southern is in concert season in the spring. This was literally half of their band. They only had 8 baritones at this performance so of course Talladega was louder, and that also explained why Southern tired out at the end.. Not making excuses just calling a spade a spade.. Southern arrangement's were still better and Beyond won this battle alone to me.. How do you respond to Beyond with Thuggish Ruggish Bone?? Smh.. But anyway If Talladega was to ever run across Southern at full strength then it's curtains for them man. This battle is gonna happen again next month. Just wait on it.. If you think Southern is gonna get caught slipping again you got another thing coming.
Really??? "The best band" got tired because they had 8 baritones? I don't think so...I believe such just got they ass blower on
WHS_TUBA_BOY Shut your dumb ass, non spelling ass up, and finish high school before you try to talk shit.
What is the name of the 2nd song southern played??
+WHS_TUBA_BOY Shut ya dumbass up!! Your band probably has 10 people in it. You don't even know how hard it is to fill in the sound of possibly a 100 people. Go gtf
+flights360 nah white haven high dont be playing around lol. They aren't the best but they are up on that list
