What was your favorite Stand Battle at the 2021 National Battle of the Bands? Norfolk State vs Tennessee State - 0:00 Southern vs North Carolina A&T - 3:49 Bethune Cookman vs Jackson State - 10:00 Talladega vs Southern - 15:16 Bethune Cookman vs Langston - 21:48 Talladega vs Norfolk State - 26:43 Langston vs Tennessee State - 31:24
This is a great video. This is how they should have divided the battle. All stands then all field shows. All that mixing it up between stands and the field was confusing and unnecessary. We wanted to see bands blowing at each other and bands marching in blowing. Excitement. The organizers missed the assignment this year...or am I mistaken?
There is just an ENORMOUS sense of pride when it comes to Historical Black Colleges and Universities. These young men and women are the future of this country and I wish EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM THE ABSOLUTE BEST. ❤️😢🤩
@@SonicBoomBandHead I hate that they are having a botb Friday which means a boring presentation zero and 5th quarter. No point in jsu battling famu in a botb. A waste of jsu time.
It's great to see marching bands back in full form. Hopefully we will have a full season since all of these programs are going strong and sounding magnificent.
I absolutely love seeing a band surrounded by 20-30 tubas...it's just a gorgeous sight! Kinda wish Miles was at the battle, they would have brought some pettiness up their sleeve lol
What the hell you talking abt miles pettiness when su is the king of disrespect and crank on these people..... Its funny here lately its looking like the plan is to try to de throne su funny I been listening and watching the action we will see
I don't know who that was that played Chakka Khan, but man that was REALLT nice.. very nice and clean sounded a lot like the real song. i'm very impressed
Tn State and JSU have very similar approaches to song decomposition and rebuild. Southern has been playing the Thanos role for the past decade or more. You are not the best unless you beat Southern. I love the Crats but then there is Southern.
Yea & with Deion Sanders and his good football team on.the sideline this ish can mean destruction for the entire SWAC as a Southern fan I see whats finna happen 😂
Dam BCU... 🤦🏾♂️... things just don’t change huh 😂😂😂😂😂.... at this point I feel like y’all purposely do all that dancing and singing to piss people off 😂😂😂😂

I think it done that way because it gives bands time to get to the field from the stands and get ready. the stands keep the audience entertained during that time
Can’t wait to see all the hate SU will get because Brian is not there anymore….. JSU 🔥🔥🔥🔥 SU 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 but enjoyed all the bands so happy to hear college bands all star bands for the summer was great so I know it’s on all season HBCU ❤️❤️
Maybe if they stop inviting BCU to battles they’ll learn something lol also they in the SWAC conference now so the swac might get them to think differently about there approach 💭
Although I agree,,, yes we wanna see new,,, but I think that’s what makes Bethune,,, them sticking to there roots. Every time we see Bethune, we already know what they going play and we vibe to it still cause cause it’s played great… & they Trend every year!
@@ryanwheeler1222 but Teams like JSU and other teams stick to they roots to and play old songs every year as well which is find because they add new music though
@@fazeman4 but it is over and ppl waited long enough .. what I’m waiting for ? Cause they gone play the same stuff so I didn’t get optimistic after you said “stay tuned” .. wat i said was just a thought but do y’all thing
this was supposed to be it. First impression is everything. Bet your money that this whole season people are going to say that he couldnt get his ban ready in time for the first botb, no matter how good they sound.
What song did Bethune (1st one) and Talladega (1st one) play? Ranking: SU; TSU; JSU; BC; TC, NORVA; then LANGSTON (don't feel like they really brought it) But everyone sounded wonderful, heard some pretty good screams, and everyone's TUBA line and drumline were on point!
Jsu my life was fire but dont sleep on Langston now, they sounded good. And we know what SU is gonna do but BCU please my jesus please switch it up in the stands please

Anybody else get chills when jsu started!??!
This is the best I’ve heard Tenn State sound in a while. They sound good af. 10/10.
Maybe I’m just thirsty to see bands after the tragic 2020 season but they ALL sounded great! Amazing lineup!
Same!
Was even better in person. Really was hard this time around lmao
idk about the line and I like 2019 when the battle was 2 rounds
I can’t wait to see JSU in Miami 🔥🔥🔥
Same!!! Got my tickets in hand and ready for the rumble. Lol
They’re having a BOTB on Friday, parade on Saturday, game on Sunday! #BOOM💥💥
@@SonicBoomBandHead where is the parade gonna be?
@@SonicBoomBandHead I hate that they are having a botb Friday which means a boring presentation zero and 5th quarter. No point in jsu battling famu in a botb. A waste of jsu time.
@@kendricksmith1459 JSU gotta welcome them boys to the SWAC properly but yea I understand what you mean
It's great to see marching bands back in full form. Hopefully we will have a full season since all of these programs are going strong and sounding magnificent.
Black excellence !! Let’s go my people ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
SOUTHERN & JACKSON ST…. THATS ALL 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤷🏾♂️
They should’ve let them battle to give us a little teaser for BOOMBOX CLASSIC.💪🏾
@@SonicBoomBandHead so true. Would of rather saw that vs hearing others play what I don't know and think they won a battle. 1st learn how to battle.
Its going to be tough for some of these new schools bands to compete in the swac
@@Reecesavage-Alwayswin no it won’t
I absolutely love seeing a band surrounded by 20-30 tubas...it's just a gorgeous sight!

In Alabama?
Im loving the direction most of the bands are going...glad to see programs come in and be able to go toe to toe with some of these powerhouses
Bethune sounds great but they need to play new songs.
No they didn't....need work.
Bra if y’all don’t play these damn songs stop all this singing
@@justinbigjaydadrummajackso6672 🤣🤣🤣
Y’all are weak asf Bethune sounded good PERIOD
@@montrelliswilliams2827 you stuck back in time, my guy. We in 2021 and yall in 2000.
Ok Langston. Might need to get those guys to events more often this year.
First time ever seeing them in person and they sounded good 😭😂
💯💯💯
From the reactions I'm seeing to their performance, I think you will get your wish. They are coming on strong.
All i can say is them jukes came to slay what a great start to this year
It never fails I find myself skipping BCU in stand battles
They let me down everytime. But im sure its not the students. Its the leadership.
Facts...
Bcu did good wtf ?
Y’all probably white that’s what’s wrong
Lol. Im black sir and marched in an hbcu band.
I don't know who that was that played Chakka Khan, but man that was REALLT nice.. very nice and clean sounded a lot like the real song. i'm very impressed
North Carolina
Tn State and JSU have very similar approaches to song decomposition and rebuild. Southern has been playing the Thanos role for the past decade or more. You are not the best unless you beat Southern. I love the Crats but then there is Southern.
I promise 💙💛💙💛 💯💯
All I can say I'm sorry Detroit didn't happen.
ALL FAX
Facts 💯
#facts
As a Spartan it’s nice to finally see the Legion in a space with bands as good as them
that close up on Dega though lol those trumpets were going hard!
Damn cookman its 2021 do they even take suggestions for an added play book loll
If every band learn their book and play it back to them, or dont show up to games to battle them I think they will get the point.
NSU THE BEST BAND !
THE BEST SONG.
THE BEST GIRLS.
THE BEST CLOUTS.
Yea you drunk bro and obviously don’t know band🤣🤣🤣 southern are everyone out there bro. Hell Talladega did too and they smaller🤣🤣
@@chrisdrayton4941 Nope Bro, Nsu is the best band.
@@Zahid_Al-maeda period
This really did something to my soul. I was not ready for how JSU came in. 🔥
Yea & with Deion Sanders and his good football team on.the sideline this ish can mean destruction for the entire SWAC as a Southern fan I see whats finna happen 😂
SU for me! Them Dolls going to be TROUBLE! Love the Stands!!!!
"HBCU PROUD" of all of these bands. Our traditions are NOT to be taken lightly.
Dam BCU... 🤦🏾♂️... things just don’t change huh 😂😂😂😂😂.... at this point I feel like y’all purposely do all that dancing and singing to piss people off 😂😂😂😂
I'm all about BCU but lord have mercy JSU killed that J Cole
I’m not a JSU fan but i must say JSU “my life” was the best song that night.
nicca you a JSU fan FOH
@@gosaints2000 😂😂😂
@@gosaints2000 😂😂
Don’t get mad at me for stating the obvious my guy, why you sound mad they fans act just like yo mad ass
@@Tjevdevs that was not the best stand song my guy, SU motley Cru was better
JSU literally sent chills down my spine 😩
Norfolk -Ghetto life was a everything to me
your Close!! its "In the Ghetto" Busta Rhythms version
I could listen to yall all day and night! Love ya!
This was beautiful! Great Channel and Content! Big ups all HBCU's whenever we find them!
The boom 💥killed this
The echo from Cookman, and JSU is crazy‼️‼️‼️
Langston is a trumpet section away from being a problem.
They are on the come up! 💯💯💯
@@doctormark8418 Definitely!
Big Props to JState they sound amazing

Can’t wait to see all the hate SU will get because Brian is not there anymore….. JSU 🔥🔥🔥🔥 SU 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 but enjoyed all the bands so happy to hear college bands all star bands for the summer was great so I know it’s on all season HBCU ❤️❤️
I mean if he left on his own free will then SU shouldn't receive any hate. I get it. He wanted and honestly needed his own band.
Brian left🧐
@@ZARiNA851 been gone
Yea they hating on Su just like they did when haymer left , they need a life. Go SU
@@cchisolm92cc I know you lying 😦
BoomBox Classic, SU and JSU as usual 🤣
What song did they play
I like how j s u get all hype at the beginning of the season and then there's the boombox classic no more need to be said
Sheesh jsu wit that j cole song
BETHUNE BREAK DOWN 👌🏾👌🏾 Love Ittt
Love the footage and audio. Some of these people need situational awareness. Stop walkin in front of people cameras!
Bruh lol, best you can do is film around it, or if it’s in between a song, try to get them out of the way.
@@MarchingsportHD Roger dat!
For me it's between dega Southern and Jackson but that fly like an eagle very nice wasn't expecting that to be played.
It was a nice selection, but seems to me they played it choppy
I love all of you# You make me HAPPY!
Maybe if they stop inviting BCU to battles they’ll learn something lol also they in the SWAC conference now so the swac might get them to think differently about there approach 💭

Both great points!
@@ryanwheeler1222 but Teams like JSU and other teams stick to they roots to and play old songs every year as well which is find because they add new music though
@@Tjevdevs That is your requirement not others. We have a unique style and approach to everything. You just wait. It ain't over. Stay tuned!

Some of These bands with these old arrangements it’s 2021 time to get updated to the 2010s atleast . They kno who they are I’m not saying no names
NSU Gave us a new Original Song vrs Tenn State.
JSU didn’t play an old arrangement lmao
Su didn’t play old arrangements
I kno this applies to the bands that did play them old arrangements they kno who they are I’m not saying no names
💀💀💀💀💀 “Gimme a B”🗣
Tennessee state the best by far musical and loud, everybody did great glad to see everyone together ❤ 👍
COOKMAN looks small in numbers but still have sound!
Dega got all that power with trash can arrangements 🤦🏿♂️
Preach!
Or maybe they are only loud because of the simple unison arrangements
🤣🤣🤣facts bruh
@@deem10 lol
@@deem10 nigga gotta point
I’m not the first comment but I’m the first like, wth 🤦🏾♂️! Great job @/\/\MARCHINGSPORT!!🔥
The Texas Southern Brian Simmons debut gonna be interesting to say the least.
this was supposed to be it. First impression is everything. Bet your money that this whole season people are going to say that he couldnt get his ban ready in time for the first botb, no matter how good they sound.
"The Human Dance Machine" Bethune Cookman😜😂😂😭
Outstanding Job TSU from class of 1982
What song did Bethune (1st one) and Talladega (1st one) play?
Ranking: SU; TSU; JSU; BC; TC, NORVA; then LANGSTON (don't feel like they really brought it)
But everyone sounded wonderful, heard some pretty good screams, and everyone's TUBA line and drumline were on point!
Bcu- lay low
JSU did that! I felt it in my spirit!
Everyone around me was waiting on Norfolk vs Southern or Jackson vs Dega
Shid me too and I wasn’t there😭😭
JSU was everything!!!!
BCU really needs to update that book. Also why did they go twice but not JSU or literally anyone else?
JSU left after their field show. They didn’t go back to the stands
Yeah JSU left. From what I heard they had a rough time traveling to Houston and didn’t get into late the morning of the BOTB & were tired!
Bcu never gonna do that
BCU old ass record lotta dancing but them tonal basses were cutting in the back 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Bruh did anybody else notice at like 13:14 when Jackson started cranking that last band member on the field from Dega band face says it all!!! 😂😂😂😂
NC A&T sounds damn good. Their tubas are solid asf!!! Good job!! Musicality is on point!!!
Their dancers are thunda fine too 😜
Man NCAT WILL ALWAYS HOLD BANDS TO A HIGHER STANDARD. They bring everything you need. Perfection and the sound is from HEAVEN LOL
Also, Dega has cleaned their sound up A LOT
They did??
@@cchisolm92cc when?
@@liquidlightz 🤣 like when did this occur
@@cchisolm92cc don't worry, his name Is Atlanta Smokeshop. He was smoking when he made that comment!🤣🤣🤣🤣😒
And they still suck!
If "hold up, wait a minute" was a band it would be Langston.
💯💯 they are growing
BCU need to update their music portfolio
Florida bands dont play trap music, as they focus on musicalit, tone and pitch, BUT I WHOLE HEARTEDLY AGREE WITH YOU.
@@solidrock7998 good musicians should be equipped to play anything. Its lazy to play a 30-year old book
@@noahmason2546 Bruh….I was like I’m going to the restroom & concession while they played….I’m tied of that old ass book.
@@jheht2000 ON GOD i don't even blame you. You ain't missing anything🤣
@@solidrock7998 yes they do that’s a lie, FAMU literally played “Hot” against SU in 2019 and got they ass smashed right after
TnState that last clip sounds like that Larry June
That’s exactly what it is 🙌🏾
Keep going AOB 🎩, you're doing good 🍊
I knew wasn't trippin
All of the Bands sounded nice but it’s JSU for me!
The NSU spartan legion is and will always be my #1 but dammit that dam JSU....... smmfh. Thats right, JSU..... not southern.

Sonic Boom of course! They played the best arrangement! My life: J-cole
Nsu and North Carolina 🎉
Su 🔥🔥🏁
Southern has twin saxophone players!?
JSU battle BCC and still turn to blow at SU 😂😂😂
That part lol
That fanfare was for all bands. Not just SU.
Bro. Who said it was for SU? I’m confused.
THE MOST HEATED HBCU BATTLE EVER! JSU vs SU!
@@SonicBoomBandHead it wasn’t for them lmao
I don’t know the name of the first song Southern did, but it was all that.
What was it
Motley crew -post Malone
I promise 💙💛💙💛
Motley Crew - Post Malone
Aye !! that first su song was raw !
Dega trumpets eating on that song against Norfolk.. 🔥🔥 the band got potential
Swear I said the same thing. I can’t wait for that arrangement to cleaned up.
That 8 years old potential people still referring too?? They do not have an established tone.
All The Band are so Big in size and Sound 🔥🔥💨💨💙🤍💙🤍💙🤍💙🤍✅
Sonic Boom cranking on B.C.? They killed that J-Cole! All my life! Turn toward them at the end! With that killa kev!!!
JSU 🔥🔥🔥
Can you do an NSU vs Southern Stand Battle
Why is Southern always the loudest... smashing🔥
JSU was the best sounding band there for stand battle! Don’t @ me.
I’m not a JSU fan but I agree
This audio is straight sick. Good Lawd!!!
