I see some novice mentioned tnsu arrangements. Tnsu writers create some of the most accurate and unique pieces in the game. Everybody can't play games, whole notes the whole game. Tnsu is diverse and always will be serious competition regardless of size
When I say we have the best arrangements! You can ALWAYS know what song you're listening to unlike these SWAC bands that compromise accuracy and musicianship for power, and for other SWAC schools, "power."
+Dalontae Settle now you just tripin lol. That was an awesome set up. just cause we would do something different don't make something bad. Let me guess you'd have everyone play G? lol
+Marekus Fluellen noooo lol I feel like it could have been more done to it I'm a die hard Kendrick fan and I just wish it was Alot better but it was basic😭😭😭😂
SU has the win in my book. While musicianship is important, entertainment is also crucial.Right now I think the only band that could truly go toe to toe with SU is JSU. As much as I love the boom, SU usually delivers as much power with better balance and advanced arangements. TNSU definitely isn't a push over. I applaud them because they seem to be the only band to mix meac and swac successfully. They're balanced and smooth but still has some power. They surprised me last season giving the boom a big l. But SU is in a different stratosphere than anyone else.
SU has that raw power that is unmatched by anyone but I also love TSU. They got that sneaky ass power and love how they arrange. 2009 is too long for these two to have battled.
look at how big TSU woodwinds are compared to SU. TSU cares more about balance SU cares more about power,so please don't compare power because it's clear that if TSU wanted more power (Brass) they could easily make it happen. I agree this battle needs to happen.
Okay let's so since you was kind enough to point out the woodwind section at TSU is SU want and needed more they would get more. Next up you can barely hear the woodwind section in any band. That's why all bands are brass heavy. You can't take cheap shots. This is the top swac band
Wayne Christophe that wasn't a cheap shot, that was merely a assessment of each band. And you are wrong you can hear the woodwinds in woodwind heavy bands
+Killa Kev Productions that's a intro. When the full band is playing there is no woodwind. You would need a band FAMU size who don't play with power because of their size. If that's the best y'all can come up with tha wrong with SU cool lol. Be real with yourself this battle wouldn't turn out in y'all favor.
I don't like how some people are saying they won cuz their louder? Of course they would because they have two times the brass as Tsu brass size. If the issue of volume between them were the same it would have been a draw
damdre2 it's just about that. SU has about 50 trumpets Tsu has about 30 SU has about 30 trombones Tsu about 18. That's gonna have a significant different in volume
Ok that's still 30 to 40 extra people , not to mention the extra 5 or 6 from the French horn and baritones , that's like adding a extra band to what Tsu has. My point is to not look at volume for a winner
my point was it is not double regardless. Just state fact's. this is the words that was said " of course they would because they have two times the brass as tsu brass size. which is not the truth.
The match up that was long awaited but didn't happen due to the weather!!!! I really hope this was southern last time battling TC that honestly waist they time battling them and I'm sure they are tired of it.
Narasukedon. you sound crazy can't no band play Adell like Southern did they played it just like she sings it now that's real talk play Adell for yourself
I love all HBCUs but damn SU is on another level. We have to be honest here! Everyone please stop hating. No one at this battle stood up against the JUKE. The fight was really for who was second.
Great battle. Both bands were good. SU I would love to see more wind players to balance your sound. That Skin I'm In was really good because it's the only song I recognized. I have a few gray hairs. lol. TNSU & SU enjoy the rest of your season. HBCUs Forever!!!!
Even if they had 200 you couldn't hear them. those intruments are not designed to be that loud for outside anyway. That's why DCI is only brass, all power.
Go an look @ youtube an look for SU band playing a QUEEN song r a GUNS N ROSES song. Then u can make statements about whole notes! See if TNST can match! LMAO!
Michael Raymond kmsl u have no clue su for years years, has been known for not just power. musicianship ,arrangements come first . which no one can match
Karless 1911 really TSU can't handle JSU. look at the classic this year. they got destroyed. and you gotta take in consideration SU and JSU are different styles from TSU. Have the band is woodwind. As you can see TSU does not do all that droppin bs that SU and JSU. And TSU does not puff there checks. To sum this argument up they both good in they own way.
IMO, I think any other band's sousaphones would be a better fit for the Jukes than the ones they have now...I think they sound muffled on the majority of the songs they play....
Jay A Lay Yes? TnSU's arrangements have always been very musical but never really has any spark. There really isn't anything that stands out in the music. Yes they have their own style and it's awesome. I've been a Tenn. State fan so don't mistake me for a hater.
I see some novice mentioned tnsu arrangements. Tnsu writers create some of the most accurate and unique pieces in the game. Everybody can't play games, whole notes the whole game. Tnsu is diverse and always will be serious competition regardless of size
TnSU have some of the most underrated arrangers ever!! don't explain that to power junkies, save yourself the headache.
When I say we have the best arrangements! You can ALWAYS know what song you're listening to unlike these SWAC bands that compromise accuracy and musicianship for power, and for other SWAC schools, "power."
+King AndMoreKing they have some trash arrangements on some songs like the alright for Kendrick lamar
+Dalontae Settle now you just tripin lol. That was an awesome set up. just cause we would do something different don't make something bad. Let me guess you'd have everyone play G? lol
+Marekus Fluellen noooo lol I feel like it could have been more done to it I'm a die hard Kendrick fan and I just wish it was Alot better but it was basic😭😭😭😂
🔥🔥🔥
Hell, this is better than BOTH the battles they were originally in....
+Steven Murry Right lol
I concur
hey kev, i like your videos :)
Melodiale Genialität Thanks man.
no problem... im an diehard swac fan, esp. su :)
This would be a great battle of arrangements from both bands. I would not miss it
That 'Ready or Not' and 'Regulate' we're both hittin'!
They really don't call TSU the Aristocrat of Bands for no reason.
Human Jukebox is just on another level man their power is just unmatched by any band
Any band can have power
+Jalen Brown Not true, any band can be loud, powerful bands are rare.
Southern is perfect destruction the come back is perfect 👌🏿
Who pissed Southern off them niggas took this battle personal asf. 😂Southern pushing straight heat this year 🔥🔥
Band Stand Battles aren't all about POWER. It's also about Song Selection and Versatility.
Kofi Hemmingway thank you because song selection seems to get lost in these people's online botbs
13:29 Ready or Not

you said some that hit right on the nail.. TNSt has that sneaky power..they mix Meac and Swac so well.
I agree!
BCCHSMD TSU can mix SWAC and MEAC because they are not part of either conference. They are in the OVC so thats understandable
Xisean Anthony I am aware. SCSU is the only other band that I would give that distinction but they're hit and miss right now.
LOCS mac ncat have sound on the field but when they in the stands u can barley hear them so no ncat
All I can say is "Mercy" They are both AWESOME in their own way
Power vs balance. I've always like these type of battles because both bands stick to their styles and not try to sound like someone else.
+Charlie Harris Yup the clash of consistent styles are what makes these battles great.
+Killa Kev Productions I wish we still played them 🙄
I just knew you were gonna make a virtual battle of this Kev lol
it was only a matter of time...lol
SU has that raw power that is unmatched by anyone but I also love TSU. They got that sneaky ass power and love how they arrange. 2009 is too long for these two to have battled.
GREAT JOB WITH THE EDIT KEV! JUKEHEAD 4 LIFE ..TSU GAVEM HELL THO
+ladiesluvem Thanks bro.
I love this what if series Kev. This would be a dope pass time this summer.
both them bands rocking
Best Battle from the Queen City BOTB🙌🏾
look at how big TSU woodwinds are compared to SU. TSU cares more about balance SU cares more about power,so please don't compare power because it's clear that if TSU wanted more power (Brass) they could easily make it happen. I agree this battle needs to happen.

Wayne Christophe that wasn't a cheap shot, that was merely a assessment of each band. And you are wrong you can hear the woodwinds in woodwind heavy bands
Idk about you but I can DEFINITELY hear the woodwinds in both bands. Notice how flat SU's woodwinds are on "Skin I'm In", that's sound.
+Killa Kev Productions that's a intro. When the full band is playing there is no woodwind. You would need a band FAMU size who don't play with power because of their size. If that's the best y'all can come up with tha wrong with SU cool lol. Be real with yourself this battle wouldn't turn out in y'all favor.
+Dalion Casique okay I've been in the woodwind section that's why I changed horns. Couldn't be heard over trumpets.
I don't like how some people are saying they won cuz their louder? Of course they would because they have two times the brass as Tsu brass size. If the issue of volume between them were the same it would have been a draw
no they dont, su has more brass is the truth but not two times more.
damdre2 it's just about that. SU has about 50 trumpets Tsu has about 30 SU has about 30 trombones Tsu about 18. That's gonna have a significant different in volume
numbers, 43 to 30 trumpets trombones 32 to 23 like I said not double. Don't just pull numbers out the air count.
Ok that's still 30 to 40 extra people , not to mention the extra 5 or 6 from the French horn and baritones , that's like adding a extra band to what Tsu has. My point is to not look at volume for a winner
my point was it is not double regardless. Just state fact's. this is the words that was said " of course they would because they have two times the brass as tsu brass size. which is not the truth.
The match up that was long awaited but didn't happen due to the weather!!!! I really hope this was southern last time battling TC that honestly waist they time battling them and I'm sure they are tired of it.
they are
+tyrell monday trumpet not for southern I just have friends there
I saw that video y'all nice
Well damn! 😲 i didn't know TN state was that good...i like the fact that they got they own swag...I'm still a SU fan tho ✊
SU rendition of Adele "Hello" is unmatched by any other college band
cee eumo no fam lol it was good but it wasn't anything special even from southern
Narasukedon. you sound crazy can't no band play Adell like Southern did they played it just like she sings it now that's real talk play Adell for yourself
Viveca Pope I haven't heard another band play it lol but like I said it was good just not as good as y'all are making it out to be lol
both bands where great even tho I'm a big fan of southern university
What is the name of the first song SU played?
comes down to personal preference.....tsu had less power but sounded way better.....gotta give the dub to tsu....great vid killa kev.
jsu is in some trouble
yes they are
Fuck no... even 2 years later
Good shit Kev 👌
What's the first song
what's the first song that TSU played called? Have to know. So catchy

TS-TS-TS-TSU!!!💙💙
stop that damn stealing its gsgsgsgs you I thought you knew.
What is the name of the song at 7:20 by TSU
Nobody Needs Nobody by Playa Fly
I love all HBCUs but damn SU is on another level. We have to be honest here! Everyone please stop hating. No one at this battle stood up against the JUKE. The fight was really for who was second.
SU Won For Sure They were louder with more power
+Leandre Flowers I can't agree to that. Most of my favorite arrangements were pre 2013-2014.
+Leandre Flowers it's like being stronger and faster. Definitely a plus
+Killa Kev Productions Dude Sleep Typing Lol
+Leandre Flowers 2011 was a really good year.
If you think SU just started having good arrangements...then, quite simply, you need to go do some research.
Great battle. Both bands were good. SU I would love to see more wind players to balance your sound. That Skin I'm In was really good because it's the only song I recognized. I have a few gray hairs. lol. TNSU & SU enjoy the rest of your season. HBCUs Forever!!!!
Who was SU really playing against?
Kevin Anderson Talladega
TSU sound alot better....much props...But SU raw dogg
What was the name of the second song TSU played.
Playa Fly- Nobody needs Nobody
T-PSI!!!
There is nothing State could’ve played to match “Ready or Not”🤷🏽♂️
Name of the first song of SU
+Ja'Coria Stills "Skin I'm In"
+Killa Kev Productions Aye Tennessee first song
+Lman 02 never mind
How many woodwinds do TNSU have like 100?? 😂😂😂 ....But SU is on another level period from anyone right now!!!
Even if they had 200 you couldn't hear them. those intruments are not designed to be that loud for outside anyway. That's why DCI is only brass, all power.
I don't even have to watch this and I can tell you that TnSU sounds better.
babyboy478 you crazy!!!!!!!
you done lost your damn mind 😂😂😂
my speakers do the low end no justice
whats that song tnsu play right after su idgaf
Playa fly- Nobody needs Nobody
su mellos bringing it now 🔥
What's the first song su play
+Keontae Grier "Skin I'm In"
Su won this !
do southern look a little bit more bulky from last pervious years or is that just me it look like they ate a couple more bologna sandwiches
Su and miles college need to battle 😤
SU got that....
Played*
damn su sound good
Su sounds better
Why Tennessee directing southern from across the field lol
Wym
Southern still on them whole notes and half notes I see lol...College band with a middle school repertoire, anybody would be loud playing that style
Go an look @ youtube an look for SU band playing a QUEEN song r a GUNS N ROSES song. Then u can make statements about whole notes! See if TNST can match! LMAO!
yeah they attempted those songs...but it really didn't sound all that good if you really go back and listen to it.
I'm just saying, that's what Southern has been known for ( being loud)...Not articulation and song quality.
Michael Raymond kmsl u have no clue su for years years, has been known for not just power. musicianship ,arrangements come first . which no one can match
Jasmine Williams an not just queen , southern arrangements ,are unmatched these people crazy
@ Kevin Anderson really dude y'all can't handle them people stop it
su
I think TSU Won!
S.U.
tsu
SU all day
Tsu can't handled Jsu so how in the hell they going to handled tha box!!!
+Karless 1911 Please, the fake Tigers of jsu ALWAYS gets it from us.
The REAL TSU TIGERS
Karless 1911 really TSU can't handle JSU. look at the classic this year. they got destroyed. and you gotta take in consideration SU and JSU are different styles from TSU. Have the band is woodwind. As you can see TSU does not do all that droppin bs that SU and JSU. And TSU does not puff there checks. To sum this argument up they both good in they own way.
IMO, I think any other band's sousaphones would be a better fit for the Jukes than the ones they have now...I think they sound muffled on the majority of the songs they play....
Maybe if TnSU was the size they were in 2014 plus some better arranged songs.
Jay A Lay Yes? TnSU's arrangements have always been very musical but never really has any spark. There really isn't anything that stands out in the music. Yes they have their own style and it's awesome. I've been a Tenn. State fan so don't mistake me for a hater.
I feel like the Dancing Dolls don't deserve this band.
operadiva56 why is that
operadiva56 u trypn they style match the sound
Marion Simmons true they look a 1 with the band
Yikes!
